The Master Genealogist v6.05 is now available from Wholly Genes, Software. The Master Genealogist (TMG) is a Windows genealogy application. Version 6.05 is free for existing customers, but it does require v6.00 of TMG. To install the update, from within TMG 6.0+, select the “Help” menu and then select “Check for an update”, or you can select the “Check for a Program Update” option from the TMG’s Start Menu grouping. The update will then install, and a restart of TMG will be required.
NEW/CHANGED

FIXED
* Tag Entry
- – It was possible under some circumstances for a citation to be accidentally deleted by either (a) entering a citation by clicking or double-clicking the blue bar in the empty Tag Entry citation field or (b) clicking into an empty Tag Entry citation field and entering a citation using F3 or (c) clicking on an empty “Source for this source” field in the Source Definition Screen and adding a citation using F3 or CTRL+F3.
– A situation could occur where the Details window and Project Explorer each had a different focus and a new tag would end up linked to the wrong person.
– A second primary Marriage tag could be created by editing a second existing Marriage tag which only had one spouse specified and adding the second spouse.

– If you opened the Tag Entry screen, added one or more witnesses, clicked [Tag Type] and edited the tag type, saved the tag type, saved and reopened the tag, the added witness(es) were missing.
