|
|
formats.
|
|
* Better sizing of images in reports (Bruce DeGrasse)
|
|
* An image subdirectory name can now be specified in the WebPage
|
|
generation. This allows you to specify the subdirectory (or
|
|
absence of a subdirectory) where images are placed when generating
|
|
a web site.
|
|
* Merging allows you to choose the GRAMPS ID of the merged person.
|

|
|
* Names now have a type (e.g. "Married Name", "Birth Name")
|
|
associated with them.
|
|
* Eliminated the intermediate dialog box on importing - GRAMPS
|
|
now always appends to the current database.
|
|
* If an imported GEDCOM contains REFN tags, they are correlated
|
|
to the GRAMPS ID if possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 0.7.1
|
|
* A database must now be open at all times. Prevents the problem of
|
|
not having a place to put files.
|
|

|
|
* Reorganization of reports.
|
|
* New preferences dialog.
|

|
|
* LD_PRELOAD set to handle Mandrake 8.1 shared library problems.
|
|
* Drag and drop copying of events, address, attributes, and URLs.
|
|
* Improved GEDCOM. GRAMPS now understands many more of the "quirks"
|
|
of the GEDCOM produced by other programs. In addition, GRAMPS can
|
|
now tailor its GEDCOM output several other programs. An XML data
|
|
file is used to describe to GRAMPS the types of quirks each
|
|
format uses.
|
|
* Support for French Republican, Hebrew, and Julian calendars.
|
|
* LDS ordinance support.
|
|
* Cleaned up report dialog code.
|
|
* Bug fixes in GEDCOM reading and relationship calculator.
|
|
* Toolbar may display Icons and Text, Text only, or Icons only. This
|
|
helps in some of the translations, where the long text forced the
|
|
toolbar to be unusually large.
|
|
* Dragging and dropping media objects can optionally display property
|
|
dialogs.
|
|
* All toolbar icons have tooltips.
|

|
|
* Fixed SuSE 7.3/lib-imlib problem.
|
|
* Improved GEDCOM import/export. Gramps now passes the GEDCHK program
|
|
and can now properly handle the quirks in names, notes, and parent/child
|
|
relationships from PAF, Legacy, FTW, Brother's Keeper, and Family Origins.
|
|
* After an Add Spouse, make the new spouse display in the Family View
|
|
interface.

|
|
available.
|

|
|
Edit button brings up the event editor. Birth and death fields
|
|
on the Edit Person dialog are now read only.
|
|
* Support for unknown gender.
|
|
* Central image/media repository added. All images in a gallery
|
|
are references to these media objects. Media objects can have
|
|
global properties (in the repository) or local properties (in
|
|
each gallery).
|
|
* Media types are beyond images are now supported (PDF, MP3,
|
|
word processor documents, etc.)
|
|
* Drag and drop of images from one gallery to another. Drag and
|
|
drop from file managers into the gallery. Drag and drop from a
|
|
web page to a gallery.

place list.
|
|
* The "Find and Merge" functionality has been improved to make it
|

|
|
display, Event Comparison can now save and load complex filters,
|
|
etc.
|
|
* User had significant more control over the format of the internal
|
|
GRAMPS' ids. You can now set a prefix for each type (such as "I-"
|
|
for individuals) or specify more powerful formatting using C-like
|
|
format statements (such as "I-%04d").
|
|
* Adoption relationships are visible on the pedigree view (seen as
|
|
a dotted line).
|
|
* Reordering GRAMPS' ids attempts to preserve the integer originally
|
|
assigned to the object.
|
|
* The person view can be sorted by GRAMPS id.
|
|
* KWord format generated is now compatible with KWord 1.1. Images may
|
|
now be included in KWord documents (requires Python Imaging Library).
|
|
Tables are not working yet. I can figure out how to format a KWord
|
|
table.
|
|

|
|

|
|
reports. Styles can be saved for future use.
|
|
* Improved report formats
|
|
* Initial German translation. Please note that the German translation
|
|
is new, and it will take a while before it is fully in sync with the
|
|
program. It will probably take a release or two before it is as
|
|
stable as the Swedish translation (it can take a while to provide the
|
|
translations, and the code is changing, so it takes a while to flush
|
|
things out).
|
|
* Output format preference and page size preference can be set in the
|
|
preferences menu.
|
|
* Names can now have sources and notes.
|
|
* Lots of bug fixes
|
|
* Fixes to GEDCOM importer
|
|
|
|
Version 0.2.0
|
|
* New GEDCOM importer. This new importer understands the GEDCOM
|
|
file structure, and intelligently parses the file. More
|
|
information is extracted from the GEDCOM file. Guessing the
|
|
context of information is no longer done, so the data should go
|
|
into the right place. The display dialog now displays useful and
|
|
interesting information as the file is loaded. The importer
|
|
has been checked with file generated Personal Ancestral File,
|
|
Brother's Keeper, DISGEN, the GEDCOM Torture test, and even the
|
|
sometimes strange output of Family Tree Maker.
|
|
* Better support for sources. Source button on the main page, and
|
|
sources are entered from the main screen, instead of being about
|
|
five layers deep.
|
|
* Events, sources, attributes, and addresses can now have both
|
|
sources and notes.
|
|
* Limited configurability in status bar display. Instead of just a
|
|
name, you can have a name, the internal ID and a name, or a user
|
|
selectable attribute and a name.
|
|
* A user selectable attribute can be displayed on the Edit Person
|
|
display along with the gramps internal ID. The attribute is
|
|
specified in the preferences settings, and the value is taken
|
|
from the person's attribute list.
|
|
* Images now load faster. Thumbnail images are created and maintained
|
|
by gramps, eliminating the need to rescale images everytime a
|
|
gallery is displayed.
|
|
* Paper size preference can now be specified in the preferences
|
|
dialog. Once this is set, gramps will make this the default for
|
|
report generators. Eventually, you will be able to do the same
|
|
for output format preference. This button is current disabled.
|
|
* Generating slightly better XML. Maintaining compatibility with
|
|
the older files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Version 0.1.5
|
|
|
|
* Plenty of bug fixes in the report generators and merging due to the
|
|
previous addition of date ranges.
|
|
* Added PDF file type generation for reports. Depends on the reportlab
|
|
package (available at www.reportlab.com). If the package is not
|
|
installed, gramps will run, but without PDF generation ability.
|
|
* Will use the Python Imaging Library if present to handle images. If
|
|
not, it will revert to the old method of using Imagick (convert).
|
|
* The user can select an attribute (from the attribute list) to display
|
|
on the Edit Person window.
|
|
* The internal gramps ID is now displayed on the Edit Person window.
|
|
* Marriage types can now be recorded.
|
|
* Addresses now use a single date instead of multiple dates, since
|
|
dates can now deal with ranges.
|
|
* Due to a bug in Python 2.0/GTK interaction, list colors are disabled
|
|
for Python 2.0 and above.
|
|
* configure script now properly deals with Python include paths,
|
|
eliminating the need to hand edit the src/Makefile to get gramps to
|
|
run under Python 2.X.
|
|
* Photos are now displayed properly again in the Edit Person gallery.
|
|
* Family notes are now implemented.
|
|
|
|
Version 0.1.4
|
|
|
|
* Implemented date ranges. Valid forms are "from <date> to <date>" and
|
|
"between <date> and <date>".
|
|
* Better support for partial dates. A question mark can optionally be
|
|
used for a placeholder for a year if the year is unknown. Illegal
|
|
date formats issue a warning upon an attempt to save the date.
|
|
* Start of internationalization (i18n) support. Had to include a single
|
|
C file to allow libglade to understand translations. This means that
|
|
binary releases are no longer going to be platform independant.
|
|
* Start of a generic output formatter for report generation. Currently
|
|
supports HTML, OpenOffice (625+), and AbiWord (0.7.13+). Allows
|
|
control of paragraph and font styles.
|
|
* Added into CVS on sourceforge
|
|
* Fixed quite a few bugs
|
|
|
|
Version 0.1.3
|
|
|
|
* Allow the user to specifiy their preferred numerical date input format,
|
|
either DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY on the preferences dialog box.
|
|
* Handles file problems a bit more gracefully.
|
|
* Use ISO-8859-1 character set instead of ASCII to support languages other
|
|
than English. Eventually this should go to unicode, but python 1.5.2
|
|
does not have good unicode support. Python 2.X/Gnome 2.X will be the
|
|
migration for this feature.
|
|
* Handle ANSEL encoding for import and exporting GEDCOM files.
|
|
* Fixed a bug in the selection of parents, which did not accept new parents
|
|
if previous parents did not exist.
|
|
|
|
Version 0.1.2
|
|
|
|
* Allow the user the option to display alternate names in the person
|
|
list. Alternate names in the list have an '*' appended to the end
|
|
of the name.
|
|
* Merge function now gives the user the option of saving the name of
|
|
the merged individual as an alternate name if the names are not
|
|
the same.
|
|
* Added the "Alternate Birth" and "Alternate Death" to the event list,
|
|
to allow other birthdates to be recorded. Gramps makes a distinction
|
|
between the birthdate/deathdate and the alternates.
|
|
* GEDCOM import and export adapted to load/save alternate birth and
|
|
death dates. The first "BIRT" and "DEAT" tags are the ones used
|
|
for the primary dates, the others are loaded as alternates.
|
|
* Added the ability to store web page addresses for each person. From
|
|
the edit person page, the "Go" button brings up a web browser to
|
|
display the page.
|
|
* Fixed a bug in the relationship calculator that caused a traceback
|
|
when the person selected was a direct ancestor of the active person.
|
|
* Added the suffix field to the alternate name entry on the Edit Person
|
|
form. |
