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).

In addition to the new “printer friendly” feature, a file/script was added to make it easy for site owners to use meta tags to block crawlers from crawling various pages.

The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuild v5.0.9
November 15, 2005
The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding v5.0.9 has been released. Version 5.0.9 deals with a few bugs, including a bug affecting the display of event-specific notes that was introduced in the previous version released a few days ago. The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding is an online application that allows you to display and collaborate on genealogy data on the internet.
Fixes/Updates:
* Event-specific notes were not being displayed if the administrator had elected to display them next to their associated events (introduced in 5.0.8).
* Change dates displayed on the RSS page were one day earlier than expected for anyone west of GMT because the time was listed as 00:00:01 GMT. To minimize this effect, times are now set to 12:00:01 GMT.
* Log entries for histories stored in the database did not contain the docID, resulting in invalid links.
