UNSTABLE Gramps 4.0.0 Beta2 release.
|
||||
|
||||
It is recommended to use Gramps 4.0.0 with python 3.2 so as to be ready
|
||||
for the future (python 2.7 works though).
|

This is a technology preview to allow distribution packagers (and plugin
|

writers) to update their scripts (and plugins). This release is not
|
||||
production ready, so only use it for testing!
|
||||
|
||||
It is recommended that Gramps 4.0.0 be used with python 2.7 since many
|
||||
dependent packages do not yet have python 3 versions. A determined person
|
||||
can probably download their sources and build them, however.
|

The dependencies for Gramps 4.0.0 are _completely_ different than 3.4 due
|
||||
to the switch to GObject introspection, and the removal of autotools. So
