Package: gbonds
Version: 2.0.3-8
Severity: grave
The U.S. Treasury has discontinued publishing the sbYYYYMM.asc files on
its FTP site. Unfortunately, this means that GBonds is unable to update
its redemption tables. Given that a, if not the, major reason to use
GBonds is to track the current redemption value of one's U.S. Savings
Bonds, this renders the application mostly broken as of December 1, 2021.
The good news is that Savings Bond value data is available at the
FiscalData site as a JSON-based RESTful API. I have ported GBonds to use
this API and will be making an upload shortly.
