The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding version 5.0.2 has been released by Darrin Lythgoe. The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding© (“TNG”) is a powerful way to manage and display your genealogy data on the Internet, all without generating a single page of HTML. Instead, your information is stored in MySQL database tables and dynamically displayed in attractive fashion with PHP (a scripting language). This release is almost all bug fixes. It’s advised that if your using 5.0 or 5.0.1, that you update your TNG setup to this.
Updates:

A note on database changes for this update (From Darrin Lythgoe): When you run the dbupdate script, you may see a few “failed or done previously” messages, especially if you’re coming from 5.0.0 or 5.0.1. Don’t worry about them. They just mean that some of the items are already complete. They exist here to ensure full coverage.
