Replacement of all the old “reports” is complete.
- The Ancestors report – replaced by FancyTreeView style text-based report of ancestors. Also available as part of “Overview” menu with Descendancy, as a list of reports for named individuals or families
- Vital records, Family, Marriages, and Related families are all replaced by new versions
- The “Pedigree report (a printable version of the pedigree chart) has not been replaced. A similar result can be produced by printing the Pedigree chart
A completely re-written fan chart to replace the old one. Thanks to Rico Sonntag who originally developed this as an add-on module for webtrees (https://github.com/magicsunday/ancestral-fan-chart/)
New tools added to the “Sanity check” feature
- Check AGE tag for y/m/d attribute – “Invalid age”
- Baptised after a certain age (defaults to 20 yrs, but can be changed)
- Alive after a certain age (defaults to 120 yrs, but can be changed)
- Married before a certain age (defaults to 14 yrs, but can be changed)
- Being much older than spouse (defaults to 30 yrs, but can be changed)
Advanced search – add before / after options plus use two date or place options at the same time
Some GEDCOM items have been corrected to function correctly as defined in that specification
- The sub-tag AGE is added as an option to the education (EDUC) event
- A note added to an ASSO record is now correctly displayed
- Make the religion sub-tag (RELI) is now available as a sub-tag for BAPM, MARR, and DEAT events
- A new associate type “Religious witness” ( from the Danish term ‘fadder’) has been added to the pre-set list
Language names, such as in the Language drop-down selector, are now displayed in the site (or user) selected translation. These may not yet be the case for all languages immediately but will be as translators have the time to translate each of the (many) language names
A new configuration option is available in the user profile of site administrators: “Notification options – Clippings cart downloads”. Tick this to get an email each time a site member downloads part of your data through the clippings cart
Name and email address are now required fields on contact forms
Mp4 videos uploaded as media objects will now play in the same pop-up browser window as other media objects, unless your browser prevents this
The “Missing data” administration tool originally added as a straight copy of the old Report of the same name has been re-written. (see discussion: http://kiwitrees.net/forums/topic/sanity-request/
Major update to research links module. Many thanks are due to Wim Meijberg for his support, encouragement, and testing to improve this module, and for adding a HUGE number of Dutch research sites to the list!
- Gender is now available as a search term for sites that use it
- Extend research links to include death year
- Sites that rely on javascipt / ajax coding to process search terms can now be included
- Many new links are added: Dutch sites from Wim as mentioned above; plus others for the UK and New Zealand
- A completely new page (Lists > Research links) now compliments the existing side-bar tool. The new page allows the links to be used for searching individuals whose details you do not yet have in your family tree data
Installation: minimum PHP version required updated to 5.6. Earlier PHP versions no longer receive security maintenance from PHP, so it is essential that 5.6 is now the minimum.
A number of modules have been renamed:
simpl_privacy: privacy
simpl_research: research links
simpl_pages: pages
FancyTreeView: fancy_treeview_descendants (and a new version added: fancy_treeview_ancestors)
All temporarily named “resource_” plugins become “report_” plugins.
no_census: report_ukcensus
uk_register: report_ukregister
NOTE: This is a complex process that may cause some upgrade complications. Please read and follow the upgrade instructions for this release very carefully.
