GDBI 13.1 (Gedcom DataBase Interface)

January 3, 2006

GDBI - Gedcom DataBase Interface, has been updated to version 13.1. GDBI is a “genealogy program integrator”. If you are using PhpGedView, you can use it as a family tree data editor on your local computer (”more convenient and powerful than the web interface”). If you are a Java developer, it’s a GEDCOM API that allows you to write GEDCOM editors and generate reports for several databases. This release adds new features when working with PGV.

Release Notes:

This is the first version with PGV database caching. You can specify a local directory where it creates a local copy in an FSDB database, which is also a new feature. After the records are cached, you can connect with the “Offline” option to use the local copy without connecting to PGV.

Note: PGV = PGV-View - a version of PhpGedView that only allows for showing your genealogy data.

It can be downloaded here (sourceforge.net).

The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding 5.1.0 Final

December 27, 2005

The final release of The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding (TNG) 5.1.0 is now available to current 5.x users. TNG is an online genealogy application that uses PHP and a database (MySQL for instance) to allow families to collaborate on genealogy research and viewing (the data can be updated in realtime, without having to upload anything and GEDCOM files for local use can be downloaded from this application- this is a true genealogy applications).

Developer’s Note: If you’ve already installed the [5.1.0] beta, go back… grab the 5.1.0 update for 5.0.9 or 5.1.0 beta. The issue with the TNG Nuke Add-on and the printer friendly option has been resolved (please get the 1.8.2 version of the Add-on).

This update contains a lot of new features for people who were using 5.0.9 and below. Some of the changes include better print support through out the site, more/easier control over how crawlers crawl your TNG pages, photoblock improvements (faster, excludes documents), and restored GENDEX functionality (part of an upcoming GENDEX project by the TNG author).
