There is a new beta release of The Next Generation of Genealogy Sitebuilding (TNG) available to current users. TNG is an online genealogy application utilizing 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 – this is a true genealogy applications). NOTE: This is only to be installed as an upgrade from 5.0.9. The developer refers to it as a “beta” because the new “printer friendly” feature won’t work in some content management systems (CMSes). To download this beta, please refer to the email you should have received.
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. Protection was added against injection attacks. Some LDS Temple Ordinance options were added. Custom events’ details can contain more data. GENDEX functionality has been restored, however the developers notes that he is coming up with his own GENDEX alternative (it will be a seperate utility, with its own domain). He has collected and categorized more than 300 suggestions, and is going to work on implementing them over the next year.
