GRAMPS 2.0.11-RC1

by

GRAMPS 2.0.11 RC-1 is now available . GRAMPS is a GNOME genealogy program for Linux and FreeBSD that allows you to easily build and keep track of your family tree. Note: GRAMPS 2.0.10 is considered a “stable” release. This is the “I will not buy this record, it is scratched” release, and the main updates are Slovak translations, GraphViz plugin enhancements, and GEDCOM import/export improvements. No word on where this fits into the 2.1.0 release series (that is nearing testing).

PhpGedView 4.0 beta 7

by

Another beta for PhpGedView, the seventh this time (and perhaps the final?). PhpGedView is an online genealogy program that utilizes PHP, MySQL, etc., in order to allow collaboration between multiple researchers/genealogists over the internet. You can edit all of the information available, as well as add to it, you can create privacy restrictions (logins required, information of living individuals restricted, etc.). You can download and test it here.

Updates/Developer’s Note:

There are many significant changes and improvements in version 4.0. The most notible change is that version 4.0 no longer includes support for the built-in index mode. This means that version 4.0 requires that you use one of the supported SQL databases. We will continue to maintain the 3.3.x releases for continued support of index mode until PHP 5.x with built-in SQLite is more broadly available.

Version 4.0 also includes enhanced web services developed in partnership with students from Neumont University.
