GnuCash Dependency Policy
-------------------------
GnuCash desires to only depend on library versions and packages that are
practically available. Specifically, we choose to depend only on versions
that have been in the major distributions for 6 months. This is motivated in
part by the 1.6 release, which required a large set of relatively-recent
dependencies. Specifically, as most user's (distributions) did not have the
required versions packaged, it was exceedingly painful for end users to
upgrade to the anticipated release, leading to a reputation that gnucash
still has.
This document serves to keep track of the major distributions, the date of
their major release[s], and the relevant library versions as part of that
release (or an official package-upgrade path)
