GeneWeb version 6.08
--------------------
* Added scripts created by Daniel. See contrib/gwbase.
* Mainly, bug fixes.
GeneWeb version 6.07
--------------------
* Added a detailed history. It allows you to compare two modifications of an
individual and see what have changed.
* New design for the search form in the welcome page. Instead of 3 radio
buttons, there is now 3 input text. The first one allow you to search by
first names. The second one by names. The last one by key (first name.occ
surname), public name, alias, sosa ... One trick is possible, you can
enter first name(.occ) and name in the respective field and it will search
by first name and surname.
* Added the warning BigAgeBetweenSpouses, DeadOld (if dead after 1900 and aged
of 105 years old or if dead before 1900 and aged of 100 years old),
OldIndividual (if not dead and aged more than 120 years old). Specify if the
warning "marriage before/after birth/death" applies to a witness or a couple.
* Fix import Gedcom option for uppercase/lowercase name when using utf8.
* New output : missing events.
* Other small things...
GeneWeb version 6.06
--------------------
* ! New ! You can try the new graphical interface of GeneWeb. It's supposed
to replace gwsetup at the end. Right now, it's a beta version so every
thing is not finnished yet. Feedback is welcome.
* Add three new warnings : ChangedOrderOfMarriages, CloseSiblings and
ParentTooOld. Activate the warning YoungForMarriage.
* Change totally the way to notify and record the changes of a base. There is
now only one variable in your gwf file (notify_change) so you should update
your script if you were using notify_delete and notify_key. You should then
test in your script notify_change the kind of action : "dp" -> delete person
(see upthist.txt for the complete list of action) ...
The order of the argument are : base wizard action [variable arguments]
In the variable arguments, you may have :
- KEY old_key new_key
- VISIBLE key boolean
This modification should allow in a close future to be able to see what was
exactly modify in a person/family (eg: birth place, marriage date ...).
* Add a "book of sources" and "book of occupations" just like the "book of
places". The three functions uses the same variable in the gwf file:
max_nb_updates (you should then update your gwf files). This variable
allows to set up the maximum number of updates that can be done at a single
time.
Plus, this page is available as a template. For those who changed the values
in updind and updfam template for the fields place, source, occupation,
beware to put the right value in the upddata template.
* Add a field in the advanced request to search in the marriage informations.
This is just a small evolution, it is not meant to add other searching
fields again and again.
* Add the occupation in the edition of a family form. One can create a
family and specify the occupation of the father/mother and the children.
This is again a small evolution, it is not meant to add other fields again
and again.
* Add two new outputs : "liste-éclair" (Tiny tafel) and "book of ascendants".
* "Better" display in the ascendants/descendants menu/list/tree and the
relatives outputs. Add a few new options in the ascendants/descendants
list/tree.
* The way a date is displayed is now completely depedant of the "date order"
in the language dictionary. For example, if your date order is dd/mm/yyyy,
your date will be 01/02/1880. If instead it's d/m/yyyy, it will be displayed
as 1/2/1880. Format accepted now are :
- dmyyyy
- mmddyyyy
- yyyymmdd or yymmdd
- ddmmyyyy or ddmmyy
* Add the evaluation functions of a date (year, month, day, prec) in the
template (interpreted by perso.ml).
* Display the history of updates in a table.
* Other small things...
GeneWeb version 6.05
--------------------
* Optimization of the sosa computing in the template. Can be 3 to 40 times
faster (mainly with the option display_sosa=yes).
* New organization of the relationship computing page. Cousin and Relation
are now in the same page. Should be easier to use (javascript must be
activated).
* New ouput in the ascendants and descendants menu : display in table.
* Added a link to browse in the descendants tree as in the ascendants tree.
* Added a warning in case the source field is not complete. Beware, it may
not behave as you think.
In order not to spoil the display, the warning will be display only like
this :
if there is any family sources then OK (no warning)
else
if there is any individual sources for him AND her then OK (no warning)
else Warning missing sources
* Add a warning if a witness is born/dead after/before marriage.
* If you define a "sosa ref" in your gwf file, then GeneWeb will keep the gwf
file up to date when the user modify the base (and potentially this
individual).
* Added the notify_key when changing the name of the children and check if
the "sosa ref" has changed.
* In case of homonyms (creation of individual/family), display the spouses of
the homonyms in the list.
* When searching for a surname, the more there is answers the more the result
will be displayed in many columns.
* New template : annivmenu.txt. This page contains all the links related to
an anniversary (birth, marriage, death...)
* Lifting of gwsetup. I hope the menu is a bit clearer.
* Some modifications in perso.txt (modify menu ...)
* Add the option -add_lexicon to dictionnaries.
* Add the option -nopicture in order not to import picture of GEDCOM/GW.
* Added the template of the 5.02 version (named templ502).
* Update copyright
* Update lex_utf8.txt.
* Delete file README and INSTALL that pointed to an old documentation.
* Various fixes.
Dominique DERAM :
* Update of template A, B, C, D, F, H :
** New directory templx for the templates anclist, ancsosa, anctree.
It will be used by the template a, b, c, d, f, h.
** Update copyrigth
** Various fix of minors bugs and improvements.
Mickaël Rouesné:
* Update of template M :
** css.txt : refactoring of the css.
** perso.txt :
- Display the number of ascendants and descendant.
- If misc=on (in the gwf file) or opt=misc (in the URL), then display the
wiki links, index and ID (reference key) of the individual in the
bottom of the page.
- Vertical Family Tree with 4 generations.
- Open the update individual/family form in a new page and automatic
relead after clicking on the [x] at the bottom of the page.
** ancmenu, ancsosa, anclist, anctree : fix bug in evar.v.
** ancsosa : improve the surname list, add occupations, update style.
GeneWeb version 6.04
--------------------
* You can now custom (more easily) the template perso by setting the right
variables in the gwf files.
Have a look at this page for the full documentation :
http://opensource.geneanet.org/projects/geneweb/wiki/En_template#Personnaliser-les-fiches-individu
* Template perso.txt : the update menu is now in the top of the page and split
into :
- update this person (shortcut to update this person directly)
- update menu (the classic menu)
* Variation of the favicon in the templates : perso, ancmenu, updmenu, relmenu,
desmenu, cousmenu. Display the sex of the person as favicon.
* Added the age of the individual in perso.txt
* New search of the template files. This is now longer needed to copy the
template files in the base. This evolution is backward compatible and
works like this :
- search in base/etc/mybase/name.txt
- search in gw/etc/template/name.txt
- search the first default template according to the template variable (gwf)
* Notify_key is now called each time an individual is modified AND his key has
changed. This is basically in the Modify individual and Merge individual.
* Added a notify_delete that works just like notify_key
* Added a nofollow option on the link in the search page (the number of
branches and the 'o' to fold/unfold.
* Update lex_utf8 and the particules files. The last one is now the same as
the generated (by GeneWeb) one.
* Added 'area' and 'map' in the default HTML tags
* Added an option in the ged2gwb tool. It behaves like previously, i.e. default
relation for a couple is Married. If someone prefer, one can use the option
-rs_no_mention to set the relation status to NoMention.
* Added a new instruction in the template langage : FOR.
It is a simple instruction, and could be improved later but for now it works
like this :
for (i=MIN; i<MAX; i++) => in template language : %for;i;MIN;MAX .... %end;
You can define any variable for iterator and you can used it in the loop. This
variable lives only in the loop. Thus it behaves like this :
%let;i;42%in
%i;
%for;i:0:10;
%i;
%end;
%i;
OUTPUT => 42; 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9; 42
* Added an option to *not* try a getHostByName. Could slow down on windows.
One should add -no_host_address to gwd to use this feature.
* New implementation of the fonction that calculate if a person has a sosa
number or not. Much more efficient than the previous one !
* It is now NOT possible to add or modify a family in which the first
name or the surname of a person is not specify. => It can break the
generation of the gw file.
* Added a return button when there had been an error in a modification
of a person or a family.
* Fix the wedding anniversary list only if the couple is not divorced
* Added an "happy birthday" for the wedding anniversary in the
individual page

the maximum number of persons is more than 18 billions (in 64 bits only !!)
* Added an option to limit the computation time of the consang
Ondrej Blazo:
* New language available (Slovak) thanks to him !

notes are not allowed. One must specified
authorized_wizards_notes=yes in the gwf to allowed them.
* Added the tool update_nldb to update the wiki's note in the database
* Fix bug in the access rights of a person's occ. It was possible to
have an invalid request in a relationship calculus.
* Delete some duplicates files (README/LISEZMOI/LICENCE)
* Added gwc2 and ged2gwb2 in the gwsetup tool
* In the advanced search, if the number of results is more than the
max defined, then it display the "max first" results instead of "too
many results"
* Added a book of places (see a.gwf to specify the maximum number of
event that can be corrected in one pass.
!!! Beware !!! This functionality is not completely functional when
using gwc2. You can not edit twice the same place. If you want to
edit more than one time one place, you have to do a consang between
each modifications (because it will recalculate the indexs).
* Fix the regression of rtl/ltr display in some pages
* When using ged2gwb, the status of a family is now by default
NoMention.
* Added the sosa picture in the advance search
* In the place/surname search, one can now search only for baptism or
burial (which was before included in birth and death).
* Display the picture of an individual inline instead of attachment
* In the surname search, if the surname was not found, display the
results in ncols (you can specify it directly in the URL: ncols =x).
* Added spouse (if exists) in the descendants tree
* various source code refactoring
Ludovic Ledieu :
* Fix the truncate name and uncaught exception : end of file in the
forum
* Interpretation of the 'is_invisible' variable in the updhist.txt template
* Better management of the variable 'referer' (link to welcome and
previous page)
* New implementation of the 'place/surname' request that corrects the
html errors
* New implementation of CSS as a template (css.txt)
* Tree displaying (dag and RL) compliant with XHTML
* Better W3C compliance
* Fix wrong display for advanced request in welcome page
* rewrite old templates so that they uses common language :
index.txt, moved.txt, redirect.txt, renamed.txt,
robot.txt (no favicon, no image, no css since the client has no access)
Dominique Deram :
* Update templates a, b, c, d, f, and h
Mickaël Rouesné :
* Update template m
GeneWeb version 6.02
--------------------
* In the population pyramid, display an image instead of  . The purpose is
that it can be printed now.
* Added a patch in the calculus of the sosa until the number of person in the
database is well managed.
* Some esthetic changes
* Change "href=#" by "void" because internet explorer does'nt support it (go
to the top of the page).
* Fix bug (in the source code, not the template) in updating a death date from
OfCourseDead to Dead if there is actually a date of death.
* Deleting the documentation (DOC ans WDOC) and the associated request.
* Added an option to activate/deactivate the forum.
* Added an option to turn on/off the counter for visiting web pages.
* Change the order of displaying the note/source in the individual page. The
family note/source comes before the informations of death of the individual.

differences between capital letters, accent ...
GeneWeb version 6.01
--------------------
For this version, you will not find a tag of GeneWeb 6.01 because I forgot it.
Few changes since 6.00 (which was set up to start a new developpement of
GeneWeb).
* Add an option to display the day of a date.
* Add notes/sources in the descendants list.
* Fix bug creating a loop when adding a family and creating a father and mother
bug linking the child to his parent (with the same name of course !).
GeneWeb version 6.00
--------------------
Sorry, I forgot to add the "new" feature for this version. Hopefully there
is basically no new feature.
* Add a picto sosa next to a person after a research (by first name/surname).
* Fix bug in hidding individual of the same family.
* Fix bug in showing individual by first name whereas there were hidden.
* Use of css sheetstyle to customize the pages.
GeneWeb version 5.02.0
----------------------
* [17 Jan 2011] Fixed compilation problem if using Camlp5 version < 5.12.
GeneWeb version 5.02
--------------------
* [10 Mar 2009] Fixed bug: in arch 64 bits, databases built with gwc2
did not work.
* [21 Jan 2008] In merge individuals, adding warning message if the
order of the siblings of the first individual has changed due to
possible birth date added by the second individual.
* [09 Jan 2008] Fixed bug in "relationship by marriage" when there
are relations with persons of same sex and for languages having
differences for the term "spouse" depending on the sex. The term
was incorrect (using "husband" instead or "wife" or "wife" instead
of "husband").
* [08 Jan 2008] In death cases, added case "of course dead": like
"dead don't know when", but 1/ inferred when the person is very very
old but don't have a death date 2/ the text "dead" is no displayed
in personal pages.
* [08 Jan 2008] In update family form, added ability to put "p" in the
birth year field to specify "public".
* [07 Jan 2008] In forum, when moderated, added displaying of wizard's
messages not yet validated (in red) to allow them to possibly delete
them.
* ... other things added, modified or fixed. These changes were not recorded
here, because laziness...
GeneWeb version 5.01
--------------------
* New database system with command gwc2.
* Numerous small improvements and bug fixes.
GeneWeb version 5.00
--------------------
Preliminary remark: I neglected to record the changes between January
2005 and July 2005, but there are a lot of them... I complete the
missing part when I have some time (and some courage).
Feb 2007 : the courage have not continued... the changes done since
several months have not been recorded.
This Version allows to mix pages in different languages (using utf-8
encoding). Databases version <= 4.10 can be read but still in old
encoding. By re-creating the database, the new encoding is set.
The new version number (5.00) is in honour of this new encoding.
* New features : Wiki syntax and miscellaneous Notes
- [06 Oct 05] It is now possible to use a specific ("Wiki") syntax
inside database notes, individual notes, wizard notes and database
forum. It is also possible to add new "miscelleneous notes". The
syntax is close to the one used by Wikipedia (see Web). In database
notes and wizard notes, an automatic summary is displayed. Wiki syntax
and HTML syntax can be both used in the same page. The Wiki syntax is:
- Lines starting with from 1 to 6 '=' and ending with the same number
of '=' are section titles (1 = most important.. 6 = less important).
If the text is modifiable, they can be independently editable (a
link "(modify)" is displayed to allow it).
- An empty line makes a new paragraph.
- Group of at least 2 lines starting with space and with an empty
line before and after the group of lines are displayed are they
are with a fixed size font.
- Lines starting with one or several '*' are list items. The number
of '*' is the list level (must start with one '*' then two '**' etc.)
- Lines starting with one or several '#' are numbered list items.
- Lines starting with ':' are indented.
- Lines starting with ';' return to new line; if the line contain ':'
the part after that ':' is displayed indented in a new line
- Text between '' are displayed in Italic.
- Text between ''' are displayed in Bold.
- Text between ''''' are displayed in Bold-Italic.
- Text between { and } is displayed with GeneWeb highlight (bold green
by default).
- Characters ' [ ] { } can be displayed as they are if prefixed by %.
- The syntax [[first_name/surname/oc/text]] makes a link to the
individual with key (firstname, surname, oc) with 'text' displayed.
Simplified syntaxes: if oc = 0, [[fn/sn/t]] can be used, and
[[fn/sn]] is equivalent to [[fn/sn/0/fn sn]].
- The syntax [[[name/text]]] makes a link to a "miscelleneous note"
(new feature), an independent page which can be edited (if updating
allowed), and using Wiki syntax also. The page name is 'name' (only
letters, digits and '_' allowed) and 'text' is displayed as link. If
the page does not exist, the link is displayed in red. These new
pages are saved by gwu only if they did not become isolated (= no
more linked by database notes, individual notes, wizard notes nor
another (recursively) linked miscelleneous note). Simplified syntax
[[[name]]] displays 'name' as link text.
- If there is a line containing '__NOTOC__' the summary is not displayed.
- If there is a line containing '__TOC__' the summary is displayed at
this place instead of the default place.
- If there is a line containing '__SHORT_TOC__' a short summary is
displayed.
* GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd)
- [30 Jan 06] In displaying ancestors by tree, added the ability
to have the marriage date between the spouses.
- [10 Nov 05] The ancestors and descendants page displays the number
of persons in the menu.
- [16 Oct 05] Added a system for list of only allowed nobility titles.
- [06 Oct 05] The database forum can be moderated.
- [02 Sep 05] Added a "search" form in database forum.
- [17 Aug 05] The pages "statistics", "history of updates", "database

trees are now customizable. They resp. use the template files
"stats.txt", "updhist.txt", "forum.txt", "calendar.txt" and "dag.txt".
- [23 Jul 05] All "ancestors" pages are now customizable. Depending to
the kind of page, they use the new template files: "ancmenu.txt",
"ancsosa.txt", "anctree.txt" and "anclist.txt".
- [02 Jan 05] Each complete date has a link to the calendars page.
- [20 Dec 04] Fixed bug: in display places/surnames, when vars are used
in base configuration file (base.gwf), the alphabetical order was done
before the vars substitutions.
* GeneWeb compiler (gwc) and GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu)
- [13 Jul 05] Wizards notes are now saved and restored.
* GeneWeb databases Transfer Program (gwtp)
- [08 Jan 05] Fixed bug: databases created by version 4.10 could
not be uploaded.
GeneWeb version 4.10
--------------------
* Languages
- [29 Jan 04] Added "Breton" (Tepod Gwilhmod, Gwenael Emelyanoff,
Bertrand Yeurc'h).
* GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd)
- [06 Nov 04] In statistics, added displaying of oldest couples perhaps
still alive and engaged.
- [06 Jan 04] Fixed bug: when changing a child's name using "change
children's names", the possible image was not renamed, causing
its disparition.
- [05 Jan 04] Added database configuration variable "show_consang":
when set to "no" the possible consanguinity is not displayed in
personal pages. Added also variable "fast_alphabetic": when set
to "yes", the alphabetic display of surnames or first names is fast
but the number of surnames of fist names is not displayed (interesting
for large databases).
- [04 Dec 03] Fixed bug: in case of two wizards make changes at
the same time, there were (rare) cases where one of the changes
erases the other one (instead of being rejected by the message
"database is locked").
- [29 Nov 03] Added optional "border" and "background color" for
trees displaying (relationship links, ancestors and descendants).
- [28 Nov 03] Fixed bug creating sometimes dates with null month
(and not null day) resulting problems with "gwu-gwc" and "cleaning
up" the database by gwsetup (happened when a date was entered
with month=13 which was erroneously not rejected).
- [18 Jan 03] Added a system of black list for the database forum;
the environment variable "forum_exclude_file" can be set to a
file name containing a list of excluded IP addresses which cannot
post. In the lines of this file, the joker character "*" can be
used to specify any string (e.g. "*" exclude everybody).
- [14 Jan 03] In form to add message in the database forum, added
buttons "private/public": only "wizards" and "friend" can see
"private" messages.
- [06 Jan 03] In welcome page, added wizard's name (when named).
* Base configuration files (base.gwf)
- [19 Mar 03] Added a variable "moved" to indicate that the database
has been moved. This displays the new template file "moved.txt".
* Setup program (gwsetup)
- [12 Nov 03] Fixed bug: the links to the documentation did not work
with modern browsers.
* GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu)
- [12 Feb 03] Fixed bug: exporting bad format when places containing
just spaces.
- [11 Feb 03] Added option -maxlev to specify a maximum number of
generations (descendants only) to export.
* GeneWeb databases Transfer Program (gwtp)
- [08 Dec 03] Added German (Falko Trojahn).
- [14 Oct 03] Added Spanish (Luis Mondesi).
- [03 Jan 03] Fixed bug: when wizard notes, the "send database" did
not work.
GeneWeb version 4.09
--------------------
* GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd)
- [30 Dec 02] Fixed security hole existing since a long time. People
are invited to download this new version.
- [26 Dec 02] Changed the filtering of HTML tags: in version 4.08, the
principle was changed so that some tags were accepted and all other
ones refused. Return to previous behaviour (some tags are refused,
all other ones are accepted), except for the forum of the data base
where the new behaviour is maintained.
GeneWeb version 4.08
--------------------
* Languages
- [26 Nov 02] Added Romanian (Erich Müller).
- [12 Nov 02] Added Bulgarian (Dimiter Skordev).
- [11 Sep 02] Added documentation in Italian (Latino Imparato).
* GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd)
- [09 Dec 02] Added link "wizard/notes" in welcome page to allow
each wizard to set and modify his personal notes for the database,
which are visible by everybody. Works only if the wizards are defined
in a file defined by the variable "wizard_passwd_file" of the
database configuration file.
- [01 Dec 02] Added ability for named wizards (wizards defined in a
wizard password file) to remove the messages they posted.
messages in the database forum.
- [14 Nov 02] Fixed bug: in database notes updates, there was no check
that the update form was up to date: it was then possible to submit
old versions, and there was no conflict access check (that two wizards
try to change the notes at the same time).
- [08 Nov 02] Fixed bad (strange) displaying of French Republican
and Hebrew dates when the precision is not "Sure".
- [06 Nov 02] In family form, one can now set the sex of created
witnesses.
- [30 Oct 02] In places/surnames pages, now the surname links point
to the surname, not to a person holding this surname associated with
the place: it is less useful but too many people blamed me that it
was a bug. Old behaviour if the base configuration variable
"place_surname_link_to_ind" is set to "yes". Configurable by the
gwtp interface.
- [23 Oct 02] In families forms, added shortcuts for created
persons' dates: one can write: "?year" to indicate "perhaps",
">year" or "year/" to indicate "after", "<year" or "/year" to
indicate "before", "/year/" to indicate "about". And in the "death"
field, one can write "+" to indicate "died don't know when", and "-"
to indicate "alive".
- [10 Oct 02] The GeneWeb logo in bottom of pages is now clickable
and return to the database welcome page.
- [02 Oct 02] In displaying by surname, added ability to mask
children: the families are prefixed by a clickable "o": when clicked,
the same page is displayed but without the children of that family,
and a clickable "+" is displayed at the place of the "o". Useful for
big families, when it is often not easy to see the siblings.
- [12 Sep 02] Fixed bug: in relationship by "shortest path", the
selection "include spouses" was not reported when trying the
next path.
* Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt)
- [28 Nov 02] (Technical point for translators in GeneWeb languages)
Changed entries "the father-in-law/the mother-in-law", "a son-in-law/a
daughter-in-law" and "a brother-in-law/a sister-in-law": now the
entries can have 4 values to separate the cases when they are 1/ "of a
man" 2/ "of a woman", some languages (e.g. Bulgarian) making the
distinction.
* Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) and GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged)
- [14 Nov 02] Fixed bug: relation date and place of unmaried persons
were not imported.
- [08 Nov 02] Fixed bad imports and exports of non Gregorian dates
intervals.
* Templates files (etc/*.txt)
- [25 Oct 02] For perso.txt, added macros: "file_exists_nnn"
returning true (for a "%if") if the file nnn exists; and
"key" returning the person's key.
- [19 Sep 02] Changed the template file "perso.txt" to decompose the
macro "married_to" into the different parts of this text, allowing
to present it differently.
* Base configuration files (base.gwf)
- [22 Oct 02] Added configuration variable public_if_no_date: all
persons having no date are considered as public, except if their
"access" field has been explicitely set to "Private" (default: no).
- [22 Oct 02] Added configuration variable propose_place_surnames to
propose or not the displaying by place / surnames in the welcome
page (defaut: yes).
- [31 Aug 02] Added configuration variable max_cousins_level to specify
the maximum level of displayed cousins (default: 5)
* GeneWeb compiler (gwc) and GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu)
- [22 Oct 02] Fixed bug: when cleaning up a database, if the images
file names started with numbers (eg. 123abc.jpg), they were restored
with an underscore at the beginning (eg. _123abc.jpg).
* Installation
- [01 Nov 02] Added (Unix) "man" pages (installed by "make install");
built by Christan Perrier (thanks to him!).
- [31 Oct 02] When building GeneWeb from source files: added a "make
install" which installs the executables in /usr/bin and the system
files in /usr/share/geneweb. Added also "make uninstall" which undoes
it.
* Documentation
- [31 Oct 02] In the "modifications" chapter ("How to make modifications
in the database), added a section (5.9) for dates shortcuts in the
families forms (French and English versions only).
GeneWeb version 4.07
--------------------
* Languages
- [18 Jun 02] Added Italian for gwsetup and gwtp. Corrected some
phrases in lexicon (Latino Imparato).
- [11 Apr 02] Added Slovenian (Mitja Iskric).
* GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd)
- [15 Jul 02] Added ability to specify a size of images, for the ones
which are hosted in another site. The syntax is the name of the image
followed by "(widthxheight)". Code by Ludovic Ledieu.
- [20 Jun 02] For option -wd (directory for socket communication and
access count), build now all upper directories of the path (e.g.
under Windows, if using -wd C:\TEMP\GENEWEB, build C:\TEMP if it does
not exist).
- [23 Apr 02] Fixed bugs: in fast merge, some fields were sometimes lost.
- [18 Mar 02] Had to remove the cookie system added in previous version
because it introduced a bug: the system of global authorization file
(variable "auth_file" of the configuration file) did not work any
more (it is complicated to make both systems work: the code is too
badly written).
* GeneWeb compiler (gwc)
- [22 Apr 02] Fixed bug: failed when a string contained a backslash
followed by a space (this failure could happen for example in a
"cleanup" of a database, which calls gwc).
- [23 Mar 02] Fixed bug: failed at end of creation of database when
the target database (option -o) was indicated by an absolute path.
* Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb)
- [16 May 02] Added option -us: uppercase surnames.
* Base configuration files (base.gwf)
- [15 Jul 02] Added variable "no_image_for_visitor" to specify not
to search images when "normal" visitor (i.e. neither "wizard", nor
"friend"). Useful if the images are hosted in a site protected by
a password (htaccess). Code by Ludovic Ledieu.
GeneWeb version 4.06
--------------------
* Installation
- [08 Mar 02] In MacOS X version, there is no more need to do extra
manipulation after installation to make the command GeneWeb work.
- [06 Mar 02] In Windows version with installer, it is now possible to
specify the database directory.
* GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd)
- [06 Mar 02] Fixed problem of the text "marriages and children" in
Spanish, "casamientos e hijos", which were incorrectly displayed
"casamientos y hijos". Technical: the solution uses a system of
"elision" (already needed by Catalan) which had to be a little bit
modified.
- [05 Mar 02] Fixed bug, in personal page: the circle before
children was supposed to be empty for the non married ones and full
for the married ones, but it did not work in all browser. Technical:
it was due to the <li> item type, wrongly written "disk" instead
of "disc".
- [05 Mar 02] Fixed bug: the navigation supposed to avoid the
"reloading" of pages (proposed in bottom of welcome pages) did not
work immediately after updates.
- [04 Mar 02] In CGI mode, in welcome page, the wizard and friend
entries are now accessible by links, like in server mode, instead of an
input form. Moreover, if cookies are accepted, when navigating, there
is no visible "token" in the URL. If cookies are not accepted, the
behaviour does not change.
- [03 Mar 02] Fixed bug (introduced in version 4.05): in CGI mode,
the images (logo, background, flags) did not appear, because they were
incompletely sent (a solution to turn around this bug is to use the
option -images_url). There is the same problem with the "DOC" link,
the same fix works also for it, but there is no way to turn around it
in version 4.05.
- [02 Mar 02] Fixed bug: when clicking on somebody's link, could sometimes
access the wrong person, typically when the two persons had the same
combination "firstname surname" cut differently, e.g. François-Victor
Hugo (first name "François-Victor", surname "Hugo") and François
Victor-Hugo (first name "François", surname "Victor-Hugo").
* Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb)
- [08 Mar 02] Fixed bug: the import added 5 empty lines at end of
each person's notes.
* Setup program (gwsetup)
- [06 Mar 02] Added "cancel" buttons close to some "ok" buttons.
- [05 Mar 02] Updated German in templates (Thomas Omerzu).
GeneWeb version 4.05
--------------------
* GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd)
- [26 Feb 02] Added the ability to set the variable "motd" in the
database configuration file which is displayed in the welcome page.
- [26 Feb 02] Fixed bug: when updating a person whose death date was
indicated as a "text", the death menu displayed "alive".
- [24 Feb 02] Fixed problem of wizard and friend connections under
CGI mode which sometimes did not work. Technical features: it was due
to the fact that in kind of internet connections, the origin internet
address can change for the same user, resulting on no more wizard or
friend connection. Now the origin internet address is no more checked,
only the given token is.
only the given token is.
- [24 Feb 02] Fixed the problem of "disconnection" when (typically)
inserting children in a family. Seemed to happen more and more often
with recent versions of Windows Web navigators (symptoms: doing
"update", "modify family", clicking in an "insert child" button, and
doing "ok": then the browser says that the server has disconnected the
connection).
- [14 Feb 02] Now the header and trailer files (base.hed and
base.trl) can be in only one examplary for all languages in the
directory lang (of databases directory) with the ability of inline
translation like in start.txt. Still searches first in subdirectories
of the language identifier, for compatibility.
- [02 Feb 02] Fixed bug: when merging two persons, in case of fast
merge applied, some fields of the second person were lost (notes,
baptism).
- [02 Feb 02] Added an indication "wizard" or "friend" in upper
right corner of the welcome page.
- [31 Jan 02] Added a system to restrict access more strict than the
"hide_private_names" system. It can be set by setting the variable
"use_restrict" to "yes" in the configuration file. In this context,
the hidden persons are not clickable and the relationship computing
cannot go through them. (Implemented by Ludovic Ledieu.)
- [30 Jan 02] Fixed (hope so!) displaying of relationship by shortest
path in case of half siblings: sometimes intermediate parents were
missing, introducing confusion.
- [21 Jan 02] Added a link to the "gwsetup" service in bottom of pages.
(The command "gwd" has a new option "-setup_link" to add that).
- [11 Jan 02] Fixed bug: the macros in places were not expanded in the
places/surnames pages, in descendants and in ancestors pages.
* Setup program (gwsetup)
- [30 Jan 02] Fixed bug: if the access path to the commands
(conversions from and to gedcoms or source files, initialisation of
consanguinity) contained spaces, these commands failed.
- [21 Jan 02] In "parameters of the data base", added the ability
to configurate other useful variables: history, images_path,
hide_advanced_request, and so on.
- [14 Jan 02] Big cleanup in this program: now all templates files
are grouped together for all languages, which saves 250 files in the
distribution! This has other advantages: 1/ easier to maintain 2/
easier to add new languages 3/ easier to extend 4/ exactly same look
for all languages 5/ easier to see which sentences are missing in a
language.
- [13 Jan 02] Proposes now both addresses localhost and 127.0.0.1.
(sometimes just one of them work and not the other).
* Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb)
- [16 Feb 02] Added code to get all the sources from the gedcom to
the person's notes (code written by Ludovic Ledieu).
- [23 Jan 02] Accept now some forms of incorrect dates which do not
respect the gedcom standard (e.g. @#DJULIAN@ BEF 1580, which should
be BEF @#DJULIAN@ 1580).
- [22 Jan 02] Added a search for godparents inside the baptism entry:
it is not gedcom standard, but some (other) genealogy software
exported them that way.
* GeneWeb compiler (gwc) and Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb)
- [15 Jan 02] Can fix now some cases of "sex not coherent with
relations", e.g. when godfather and godmother are inverted.
- [13 Jan 02] Fixed bug (ged2gwb): failed under Windows if there was
a first name ending with a single quote (or apostrophe) (this is a
typical example of the bug, but it can happen in other circumstances:
the bug comes from the option -fne). The message displayed indicating
this bug is: Uncaught exception: Invalid_argument("String.index_from")
- [08 Jan 02] Fixed bug (ged2gwb): the divorce dates were not
imported.
GeneWeb version 4.04
--------------------
* GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd)
- [18 Dec 01] Fixed bug: in a read-only device (e.g. a CD-ROM), the
relationship computing did not work if it has not been initialized
before.
- [17 Dec 01] In cousins displaying, added button to include the
spouses (code written by Ludovic Ledieu).
- [01 Dec 01] Fixed problem in case of changing a person's name, if
the new name entered in conflict with somebody elsés (same
"keys"). The proposed link "click here to try again" with the first
free number could fail with some browsers (technical: the request
could be truncated by the browser if too long). This have been changed
into a button "create" which always works (the same change had been
done for family forms, for the same problem, some time ago).
- [16 Nov 01] Changed the term "switch" into "invert" (English is
not my native language, I made a miskake when translating it).
- [14 Nov 01] Suppressed the <nobr> tag used in several displayings,
because it is not html standard. Its effect was to ask not to cut
too large lines.
- [08 Nov 01] In database forum, display 100 headers and a link to
the previous messages, instead of all headers.
- [20 Oct 01] In the updates forms, the order "year/month/day" in
the dates now depends on the language. This is indicated in a new
entry in the lexicon, "<tt>dates in form</tt>" which is
"<tt>ddmmyy</tt>" for French (day/month/year) and "<tt>yymmdd</tt>"
for English (year/month/day). Can be changed for the other languages.
- [11 Oct 01] Improved persons merging (dates and places are merged
faster).
- [03 Oct 01] Fixed bug in displaying by places/surnames: the cutting
of the places by "levels" worked bad.
- [28 Sep 01] Macros now also apply in places displaying.
- [16 Sep 01] Added variable "max_images_size" in base configuration
files (base.gwf) to limit the size of the images which can be sent
by the "send image" link.
- [13 Sep 01] Fixed bug: dates added in "family" forms were not
completely checked ("31th of September" was accepted, for example).
* Setup program (gwsetup)
- [21 Nov 01] Fixed bug under Windows: the selection of the root
directory (e.g. "C:\") did not work.
* GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged)
- [06 Dec 01] Fixed bug (also in "gwu"): the option -s supposed to
select surnames did not work: the whole database was selected.
- [09 Nov 01] If a person has a "first name alias" containing the
"first name", he is exported in the gedcom as the first name alias
in the first name field, with the real first name part enclosed with
double quotes.
* GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu)
- [19 Dec 01] Rewritten option -ad (somebody's ancestors' descendants):
now much faster and using much less memory.
* GeneWeb databases Transfer Program (gwtp)
- [27 Oct 01] In the executable "ged2gwb" is installed in the
directory corresponding to the option -etc of gwtp, the users can
upload gedcom files to update their databases.
- [06 Sep 01] Separated the option -tmp into -log (for the log),
-etc (for passwd, default.gwf and lang directories) and -tmp (the
rest). Code written by Christian Perrier.
* Documentation
- [31 Oct 01] Added a paragraph in the FAQ about why the sources in
gedcom are sometimes not taken into account.
GeneWeb version 4.03
--------------------
* Setup program (gwsetup)
- [17 Jul 01] Fixed bug: files selections (with "browse" buttons)
did not work with all browsers. In particular, it was sometimes not
possible to select files in other directories than the one of the data
bases. All these files selections have therefore been replaced by
versions using hyperlinks.
* GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd)
- [21 Aug 01] In relationlink displaying by "shortest path", now the
vertical bar under each person is clickable: this link triggers the
research of the next path without that connection. In the bottom of
the page, the ">>" actually corresponds to one of these links.
- [16 Aug 01] Fixed bug in update family form: when updating a
family with one witness, the form for a second (possible) witness
displayed weird things.
- [24 Jul 01] Fixed bug in update family form: when updating a family
whose marriage date was in French Revolution calendar, this calendar
was not selected in the menu.
- [15 Jul 01] Improved alphabetical order of places in the display
by places/surnames (code by Ludovic Ledieu).
- [13 Jul 01] Fixed bug: in update person form, when clicking on
"insert surname alias", the display became "insert first name alias".
* Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) and GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu)
- [22 Aug 01] In ged2gwb, recover now some errorred situations in
GEDCOMs which were rejected before: 1/ when a person is a spouse of a
family but neither husband nor wife in this family (now sometimes
recovered, but not always) 2/ when a father has female sex or a mother
has male sex (the family gets the flag "no sexes check"). Moreover,
now ged2gwb automatically put parents to isolated persons, so that the
future cleanups of the database do not suppress them.
- [17 Jul 01] Now, selecting surnames and ancestors/descendants is
no more exclusive. It is therefore possible to select e.g. a surname
*and* the ancestors of somebody.
- [06 Jul 01] Fixed bug: sometimes failed when converting ansel text
to ascii.
* Base configuration files (base.gwf)
- [28 Jun 01] Added variable "hide_private_names". If set (i.e. if
the value is "yes"), the names of the private persons (less than 150
years) are not displayed: "x x" is displayed instead. To see the real
names, one must be "wizard" or "friend".
* Documentation
- [15 Aug 01] Added documentation (English and French) about how to
create a CDrom with your database. Swedish version added by Lars
Gustavsson.
GeneWeb version 4.02
--------------------
* GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd)
- [15 Jun 01] Fixed bug in merging families: if there were a key
conflict in one person, the button "Create" proposing to select a
fresh key number did not work.
- [12 Jun 01] In case of deleted families, the list of the latest
marriages worked bad.
- [07 Jun 01] (technical point) fixed problem: in case when the data
base is not writable, there was no answer. Now an error message is
displayed.
- [02 Jun 01] Fixed bug: in family form, if surnames contained
double quotes, they were incorrectly displayed.
- [29 May 01] Fixed problem with option -log (traces in a log file):
if the log file was not writable, all requests failed (instead of
ignoring it).
- [11 May 01] Improved database access speed in case when many updates
have been done (and database not having been cleaned up).
- [09 May 01] Fixed bug: system images with underscores did not work
(may happen in cases of customization of the welcome page)
- [09 May 01] Fixed bug: in family update form, if the comment
contained quotes, the text was truncated.
- [05 May 01] When creating or modifying a family, warn for children
whose sex is undefined.
- [01 May 01] In personal pages, related persons (godchildren, adoptive
children, etc) are displayed in their baptism or birth order.
- [19 Apr 01] Improved the sending of images. Should work better,
particularly for images sent from a MacIntosh.
- [11 Apr 01] The Gregorian and Julian calendars did not work for years
less than 4800 BC. Fixed.
* Templates files (etc/*.txt)
For programmers...
- [20 Jun 01] Added template file for update family forms (updfam.txt),
which can then be customized.
- [28 Apr 01] Added ability to use variable "cvar_x" in perso.txt, returning
the value of the variable x of the base configuration file.
* Setup program (gwsetup)
- [11 Apr 01] Fixed security hole: if the file only.txt was not
accessible or corrupted for some reason (it should not but...), the
gwsetup service became potentially accessible from any outside address
(but only if people could guess the gwsetup service address). It is
modified: now, if this file is not accessible, only requests from
127.0.0.1 (local machine) are accepted.
* GeneWeb databases Transfer Program (gwtp)
- [28 Apr 01] Added option -tmout to specify the time after which
unused logins expire (default is 900s = 15mn).
GeneWeb version 4.01
--------------------
* Installation
- [18 Mar 01] Fixed bug in Linux rpm package: the 'restart' of
gwd did not work; it worked only by using 'stop' and 'start'.
* Languages
- [05 Apr 01] Renamed some languages codes to be in conformance with
the standard (http://www.oasis-open.org/cover/iso639a.html):
* Catalan: ct replaced by ca
* Chinese: cn replaced by zh
* Danish: dk replaced by da
* Swedish: se replaced by sv
But old codes are still working, thanks to an alias language file.
The code of the new language, Brazilian Portuguese, is pt-br.
- [14 Mar 01] Added Brazilian Portuguese (Paulo Francisco Sedrez).
* GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd)
- [03 Apr 01] In merge page, proposes the list of all persons having the
same first name and same surname (and different number).
- [30 Mar 01] In ancestors page, in long display mode, added the ability
to have only the selected generation.
- [25 Mar 01] Improved the displaying of phrases like "xxx is a
grandchild of a nth cousin of yyy" in some languages (Swedish,
Danish, French). Indeed in Swedish and Danish, the word "grandchild"
is different according to the intermediate person (the child)'s sex.
And in French the word "nth cousin" is different if it is a man or a
woman.
- [18 Mar 01] Fixed bug: the database forum did not work under Windows.
- [18 Mar 01] Fixed bug: in case of automatic merge, the source field
of the second person or family was lost.
- [18 Mar 01] Improved displaying of sources in personal pages: the
identical sources are grouped together in the same line.
- [17 Mar 01] Fixed problem of displaying of history of updates: it
was sometimes very very slow.
- [15 Mar 01] Fixed bug: when merging two men (the problem did not
happen for women), the witnesses of marriage of the second man were
incompletely reported to the first one (they are indicated as witness
in the first man page, but not in their own personal page in the
"relation" section).
- [15 Mar 01] The displaying of "John Foo of Bar, duke of Bar" ("Foo of
Bar" being his complete surname) is now displayed "John Foo, duke of Bar"
(was displayed like that before only for the case "John of Bar, duke of
Bar").
