| 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 | |
| * Added the operator '/' (DIV) in the template language | |
| * Fix the calculus in case there is more than a thousand number in templm | |
| * Fix the duplicates of adresse in gwc2. Now the book of places if | |
| working completely in gwc1 and gwc2 | |
| Daniel de Rauglaudre: | |
| * Fix bug (limitation of the int size in OCaml). Now in 64 bits architecture, | |
| 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 ! | |
| Ludovic Ledieu: | |
| * Fix the searching path for template in the CSS | |
| Mickaël Rouesné: | |
| * Fix the wrong display of tag <hr> with IE. | |
| * Update of template M : | |

| if calendar is republican, display the full date | |
| ** added the languages in welcome.txt | |
| ** ancsosa, deslist : added the divorce date, and state | |
| ** ancmenu, desmenu : added the first_name alias | |

| GeneWeb version 6.03 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * Added an option to authorized or not the wizards notes. By default, | |
| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |
| forum", "calendars", and some pages displaying relationship links by | |
| 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. | |

| 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 | |

| 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 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"). | |
| - [14 Mar 01] Added option "-blang": if no language is specified in | |
| the request (i.e. explicitely selected by a flag, for example), choose | |
| preferably the user preferred language (the one of his browser) rather | |
| than the default database language. | |
| - [13 Mar 01] Fixed problem in displaying "anniversaries month" | |
| in Estonian: the month appeared with all its declinations. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [07 Apr 01] Improved option -uin to move more untreated GEDCOM | |
| tags in the notes (code added by Ludovic Ledieu). | |
| - [23 Mar 01] Added option -udi x-y (Undefined Death Interval): the | |
| persons whose death part is undefined: | |
| - if before x years, are considered as alive | |
| - if after y years are considered as death | |
| - between x and y, their death value is "don't know if death" | |
| Default x is 80, y is 120. | |
| * GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu) and GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - [04 Apr 01] Fixed bug: the option -d to select descendants | |
| sometimes forgot people, typically when there was a couple whose both | |
| were descendant. | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and Welcome page (lang/start.txt) | |
| - [05 Apr 01] Fixed several Dutch phrases in lexicon (Herman Theys) | |
| - [26 Mar 01] (technical point) Grouped together all lang/*/start.txt in | |
| one only file lang/start.txt, easier to manipulate (at least for me!) | |
| - [14 Mar 01] Changed the French translation of "nth cousin": | |
| indeed, in French, the "nth cousin" is translated, literally, by | |
| "cousin of the pth degree" where "p" is "n+1": e.g. a "4th cousin" is | |
| "a cousin of the 5th degree". Perhaps the same thing has to be done | |
| in other languages... | |
| - [14 Mar 01] Changed the "*nth (cousin)*" entry to directly | |
| represent what has to be used to translate the "nth". Previously, it | |
| was "indirect", looking for another entry in the lexicon, which was | |
| complicated to understand, for the GeneWeb translators. | |
| * Templates files (etc/*.txt) | |
| For programmers... | |
| - [17 Mar 01] File perso.txt: remplaced variables %length and %count | |
| by %nb_families, %family_cnt, %nb_children, %child_cnt. | |
| GeneWeb version 4.00 | |
| -------------------- | |
| The new version number (4.00) is in honour of: | |
| 1/ the new installer for Windows | |
| 2/ the new port to MacOS X. | |
| * Installation | |
| - [04 Mar 01] Added version for MacOS X. | |
| - [03 Mar 01] Changed Linux rpm package installation; it uses now | |
| another directory for databases (/home/geneweb/bases). Not removed | |
| when unstallation, it can be used for the future GeneWeb versions, | |
| without requiring it to be moved. | |
| - [23 Fev 01] Windows version: added an "installer" (therefore | |
| an installation normally easier). The databases are put in | |
| a directory different from the program, therefore not deleted when | |
| the program is uninstalled, and can be directly usable if another | |
| version is installed. | |
| * Languages | |
| - [27 Feb 01] Added Polish (Sebastian Tuszynski) | |
| - [11 Feb 01] Added Catalan (Jaume Ramisa Elias) | |
| * GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd) | |
| - [08 Mar 01] Added macro %i usable in person notes: it is replaced by | |
| firstname.num.surname (from the person key, which is used for his | |
| default image). | |
| - [28 Feb 01] In surname displaying, if several surnames match, | |
| everybody is displayed with his/her surname. Previously, the surname | |
| of the people having the first surname of the list was not displayed. | |
| - [24 Feb 01] Fixed big bug in Windows version: if the GeneWeb | |
| directory was installed in a directory which contained one or several | |
| spaces (e.g. C:/Program Files), and if the server "gwd" was used | |
| in a shortcut or in a batch file, it did not work! (this bug was due | |
| to a problem in a library for Windows in my favorite programming | |
| language). | |
| - [16 Feb 01] Fixed problem: when displaying a surname, if there were | |
| several answers, the link for displaying the first names by alphabetical | |
| order showed only the first surname. | |
| - [16 Feb 01] Fixed bug: when displaying the tree of all persons | |
| having the same nobility title, if there is no relationship links | |
| between them, the request failed. | |
| - [15 Feb 01] In forum, propose now "previous message" and "next message", | |
| instead of just "next message". | |
| - [11 Feb 01] Fixed a (small) bug: in the ancestors page, if the maximum | |
| number of generations was the authorized limit plus one, the message | |
| "maximum # generations" did not appear. | |
| - [10 Feb 01] In family update form, added button "no sexes check" | |
| allowing 1/ to create gay marriages 2/ to fix parents sex inversion | |
| without having to delete the marriage. | |
| * Templates files (etc/*.txt) | |
| For programmers... | |
| - [02 Mar 01] For the perso.txt template file, added the variables | |
| %length; (family size in a %foreach;family;) and %count; (child | |
| position in a %foreach;child;) and ability of expressions (e.g. | |
| %if;(count = length) tests if the current child is the last of | |
| the family). | |
| - [18 Feb 01] Added a template file for update person form (updind.txt), | |
| which is now user-configurable. | |
| - [10 Feb 01] For the perso.txt template file, added the variables | |
| %father_age_at_birth; and %mother_age_at_birth; | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [08 Mar 01] Recognizes now the "MACINTOSH" charset. It is not | |
| standard, but there are GEDCOMs with this encoding, sometimes. | |
| - [03 Mar 01] In case of program failure, the message is displayed | |
| in standard output or in the log file. It is therefore visible | |
| in the "traces of the last command" of gwsetup. | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and Welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt) | |
| - [07 Mar 01] The "advanced request" which works too bad, is no more | |
| proposed in welcome pages. To have it again, you have to set the | |
| variable "hide_advanced_request" to "no" in the base configuration | |
| file. | |
| - [01 Mar 01] For translators: in "person/persons" phrase, it is now | |
| possible to add a third field to say how to translate "persons" when | |
| it is after a number (e.g. 50 persons). Example with Estonian. | |
| - [01 Mar 01] Added entry "on (weekday day month year)" for the | |
| anniversary page sentence: "today, weekday day month year, etc". | |
| Necessary at least for Finnish and Estonian. | |
| - [19 Feb 01] Updated several lexicon entries in Estonian (Hanno | |
| Kuus) | |
| - [16 Feb 01] In all welcome pages, suppressed the text "or surname" in | |
| the first choice of the first case. But it goes on searching up by | |
| surname, if no complete name is found. | |
| * Base configuration files (base.gwf) | |
| - [01 Mar 00] The variable "always_surname" now applies also to pages | |
| displaying surnames by branch (no more only to descendants pages). | |
| * Setup program (gwsetup) | |
| - [24 Feb 01] Fixed big bug: when creating a database, a page | |
| displays that the database has been created. Ok. But if this page is | |
| requested again later by the browser and if it is no more in the | |
| browser cache, the action is made again overwriting the possible user | |
| changes. | |
| - [23 Feb 01] Added option -gd (gwsetup directory) to set a different | |
| directory for the gwsetup files. It allows to launch gwsetup in another | |
| directory, therefore to separate the databases from the GeneWeb files. | |
| - [20 Feb 01] Added option -lang: if provided in parameter, the lang | |
| name is not asked the user. Changed all "http://localhost:" into | |
| "http://127.0.0.1:" which always work on Windows and in all OSes. | |
| Changed all "file://localhost/..." into just "file://..." | |
| GeneWeb version 3.11 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * Languages | |
| - [04 Feb 01] Added more declinations for dates (to make Estonian work | |
| better) | |
| - [31 Jan 01] Added Estonian (Hanno Kuus) | |
| * GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd) | |
| - [01 Feb 01] In descendants display, added the occupation. | |
| - [30 Jan 01] Added a way to be able to print trees which are too | |
| wide for printers. In tree displaying, a link is proposed in the upper | |
| right corner of the page. When clicking on it, a page is proposed for | |
| a parametrizable display of the tree by slices. | |
| - [29 Jan 01] For GeneWeb sites accommodating many databases: to | |
| avoid the creation of too many files in the same directories, added | |
| the ability to put them in sub-sub-directories. A database file can | |
| be installed in a sub-directory of its first character, | |
| sub-sub-directory of its second character. For example, a file | |
| associated with the database foo can be in the directory f/o/. This | |
| is not required, but optional, and is therefore backward | |
| compatible. This applies to: | |
| * the database directory: f/o/foo.gwb | |
| * the database configuration file: f/o/foo.gwf | |
| * the associated images directory: images/f/o/foo | |
| * the associated extra images directory: src/images/f/o/foo | |
| * the associated source texts directory: src/f/o/foo/*.txt | |
| * the header: lang/f/o/foo.hed or lang/xx/f/o/foo.hed | |
| * the trailer: lang/f/o/foo.trl or lang/xx/f/o/foo.trl | |
| * the personal page template: etc/f/o/foo/perso.txt | |
| - [26 Jan 01] Under Windows, added option "-noproc" asking not to run a | |
| new process at each request. This option was added because some users | |
| under Windows reported that sometimes, the service gwd blocks after some | |
| requests and need to be stopped and restarted. This option may resolve | |
| this problem (not sure). | |
| - [25 Jan 01] When searching somebody by a name, if there are several | |
| possible answers, also display now the first names aliases (if there | |
| are some). | |
| - [23 Jan 01] Fixed bug: when changing somebody's name, in some cases | |
| there were no check that the key already existed, resulting of a | |
| double defined persons when cleaning the database. | |
| - [14 Jan 01] Complicated trees (ancestors, descendants, relationships) now | |
| work with browsers without tables (like Lynx). | |
| - [13 Jan 01] Fixed bug: when merging families, the marriage witnesses | |
| disappeared. | |
| - [10 Jan 01] In relationship computing, changed translation of the | |
| phrase "of a cousin". Indeed, in the context, it should display "of a | |
| cousin(male) or a cousin(female)". In English there is just one word, | |
| "cousin" for male cousins and female cousins, but not in many other | |
| languages (German, French, Spanish...). Now, the translation is | |
| correct for these languages. | |
| - [28 Dec 00] (detail) In short dates, for the case "don't know if | |
| dead", now print just "year" instead of "*year". Changed all FAQ about | |
| this convention of short dates. | |
| - [19 Dec 00] In update page, changed "add family" into "add | |
| marriage" because, despite the warning at end of this page, many | |
| users are mistaken by thinking it was "add a child in a family". | |
| * Template (etc/perso.txt) | |
| - [02 Feb 01] Added boolean value "has_siblings". | |
| - [20 Jan 01] In personal page template file (etc/perso.txt), the macro | |
| "%nobility_titles;" has been decomposed into "%foreach;nobility_title;" | |
| and "%nobility_title;", allowing to display the nobility titles | |
| differently (e.g. in a list <ul>..</ul>). | |
| - [27 Dec 00] The value "%witness;" refers now to the witness person | |
| himself (instead of being the text with link and dates). This allows to | |
| customize now the display of witnesses, e.g. by adding their professions, | |
| or their parents, etc. | |
| * Setup program (gwsetup) | |
| - [22 Jan 01] Added the merging of databases. Updated the documentation | |
| to remove the comments telling that this operation cannot be done under | |
| gwsetup. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [23 Jan 01] Added a hack to turn around a bug in the GEDCOMs | |
| coming from Genealogos (fields inverted in certain lines) which | |
| created empty databases. | |
| * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - [04 Feb 00] Added option "-aws" (Ancestors With Siblings), the same | |
| option than for the command "gwu", extracting somebody's ancestors, | |
| together with their siblings, siblings' spouses and siblings' spouses' | |
| parents. | |
| - [18 Jan 01] Fixed problem for names with declinations: they were | |
| exported with all their declinations; now just the 'nominative' | |
| form is exported. | |
| * Geneweb compiler (gwc) | |
| - [07 Jan 01] Put back the option "-sh #" (removed in version 3.08): | |
| it seems that some users are be still interested in this option, even | |
| with the new form "-sep". | |
| * Bases configuration files (base.gwf) | |
| - [25 Jan 01] Added variable "private_years" to specify the number | |
| of years for the visibility of personal information in normal access | |
| (i.e. neither "friend" nor "wizard"). Default = 150. | |
| - [30 Dec 00] In example file a.gwf, fixed comment about customized | |
| variables: for variable defined as var_foo, the usage in the text | |
| is %vfoo; (not %foo;). | |
| - [29 Dec 00] Added variable "always_surname" telling to always print | |
| the children surnames in descendant display, even if same than the | |
| father's (default = no). | |
| * Header and trailer files (lang/base.hed lang/base.trl) | |
| - [26 Jan 01] Added two macros usable in header or trailer files: %p | |
| which is replaced by the prefix of the current URL (the whole address | |
| up to the question mark) and %s by its suffix (after the question | |
| mark). In personal pages, this suffix is independent from the index: | |
| can therefore be used to specify a bookmarkable address. | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) | |
| - [26 Jan 01] Changed entry name "(french month)" into "(french revolution | |
| month)" (which is more exact). | |
| - [30 Dec 00] Fixed German translations (Frank Komarek + Falko Trojahn) | |
| - [29 Dec 00] Fixed some Spanish translations (Frank Komarek) | |
| * Documentation | |
| - [17 Jan 01] Added French translation of "The GeneWeb source file format" | |
| (Melchior de Contades) | |
| GeneWeb version 3.10 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd) | |
| - [14 Dec 00] Added a system of general macros for "sources" and | |
| "notes". You can define customized variables in the configuration | |
| file (base.gwf): their values will be replaced in the "sources" and | |
| in the "notes". The syntax in configuration file is "var_ident=value" | |
| and in the sources and notes: "%vident;". | |
| - [03 Dec 00] Fixed bug in Hebrew calendar computation (example: Hebrew | |
| day was good for Gregorian date 2001-11-30 but incorrect for the following | |
| day 2001-12-01). | |
| - [28 Nov 00] Fixed bug: it was possible to create a loop by merging | |
| somebody with one of his/her ancestor. | |
| - [25 Nov 00] Small improvements: in update page, added "back" link, | |
| in "family deleted" page, added link to return to the person. | |
| - [24 Nov 00] Fixed bug: in automatic merge steps, the database was | |
| not locked, risking to corrupt the database if two persons were making | |
| changes exactly at the same time. | |
| - [18 Nov 00] Fixed bug: while updating a person or a family, in | |
| case of keys (first name/surname/number) conflicts, if there where | |
| empty spaces (for example the ones of persons to be removed from the | |
| list), the button "create" supposed to try again with the first free | |
| number did not work. | |
| - [16 Nov 00] Fixed bug: in languages with declinations (e.g. German) | |
| some declinations structures sometimes incorrectly remained in the | |
| displayed text (e.g. "xx ist ein:d:+em Cousin") | |
| - [11 Nov 00] When updating, display now a warning in case when the | |
| person has a sex inconsistent with his/her "relation" (e.g. woman | |
| being godfather or man being godmother). Can now change a wrong or | |
| undefined sex according to these "relations". The same changes have | |
| been done in gwc (GeneWeb uncompiler) and in ged2gwb (GEDCOM to | |
| GeneWeb). Code written by Ludovic Ledieu. | |
| - [10 Nov 00] Fixed bug: when merging two persons, if the second one was | |
| a witness of a marriage, the "witness" link dispeared. | |
| - [09 Nov 00] Fixed bug: under Windows, the history of updates did not | |
| work. | |
| - [08 Nov 00] Added the ability to have associated HTML pages and | |
| images. The request "base?m=SRC;v=xxx" displays the file | |
| "src/base/xxx.txt" (interpreting the macros if any). The request | |
| "base?m=IM;s=yyy" displays the image file "src/base/images/yyy" or | |
| "src/images/yyy". Code written by Ludovic Ledieu. | |
| - [08 Nov 00] Fixed bug: when giving 0 as Sosa number, it did not | |
| answer (infinite loop in gwd). | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [04 Dec 00] Now, the option -fne works (i.e. extracts the main first name) | |
| even when the first character is a space, allowing to treat Gedcoms with | |
| for example, just a star after the main first name. | |
| * GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu) | |
| - [26 Nov 00] Added option "-aws" (Ancestors With Siblings), extracting | |
| somebody's ancestors, together with their siblings, siblings' spouses | |
| and siblings' spouses' parents. | |
| - [16 Nov 00] Fixed bug: in some circumstances, relations could be | |
| printed several times, resulting of several definitions and therefore | |
| errors when using gwc. | |
| - [15 Nov 00] Filter the non printable characters if any: now converted | |
| into spaces. | |
| * Consanguinity computing (consang) | |
| - [15 Nov 00] Improved the program: now 30% faster. | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt) | |
| - [27 Nov 00] Updated Czech welcome page and lexicon (Petr Slansky) | |
| - [13 Nov 00] Deleted entry "of": using only "%1 of %2" now. Some | |
| consequences in displaying (depending on language). | |
| * GeneWeb databases Transfer Program (gwtp) | |
| - [14 Dec 00] Added a system to display pages on other languages than | |
| English. Added French version. | |
| - [07 Nov 00] Added "body_prop" (text added inside the tag "body" in | |
| generated pages, what allows to change the background, for example) | |
| among configurable variables (conf.txt). | |
| * Installation under Linux rpm | |
| - [07 Nov 00] Put logs for gwsetup and gwd on /var/log. | |
| * Documentation | |
| - [12 Dec 00] In the FAQ, in the entry "It does not work at all | |
| under Windows", added a paragraph to tell to try by replacing | |
| "localhost" by "127.0.0.1". | |
| - [27 Nov 00] Added an entry in the FAQ about the spelling correction | |
| and its possible strange results. | |
| GeneWeb version 3.09 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd) | |
| - [05 Nov 00] In case of loop in database, which stops all relationship | |
| computations, the error message now displays one person who is his/her | |
| own ancestor, allowing the wizard to fix the error. | |
| - [04 Nov 00] Changed forum displaying. The main page now displays only | |
| the headers. | |
| - [04 Nov 00] Fixed bug: when merging two persons, the possible notes | |
| of the second person could disappear. | |
| - [03 Nov 00] In tree display, when "images" is selected, | |
| also display spouses' images. | |
| - [02 Nov 00] Added "subject" in forum. | |
| - [02 Nov 00] Now display French republican years in roman digits. | |
| - [01 Nov 00] In nobility title display, added a link to display the | |
| tree of their relationship links. The tree contains only six persons | |
| at the same time (and a link for the next ones). | |
| - [28 Oct 00] Added a trace of the last "wizard" accesses (in the | |
| file cnt/base_w.txt). The idea is to know if some "wizards" are no | |
| more using their connections. Applies only to wizards defined in the | |
| file of the variable "wizard_passwd_file" of the file base.gwf. | |
| - [26 Oct 00] In forum, added "<table>..</table>" around messages | |
| to prevent unterminated tags to perturbate the other messages. | |
| - [24 Oct 00] In family updating, when there is a name conflict while | |
| creating a person, now proposes to try again with the first free number | |
| Lightly changed the interface for the same situation in person updating | |
| (code written by Ludovic Ledieu). | |
| - [20 Oct 00] In family updating, added a check that (created) persons | |
| are born before their death: this check was missing. | |
| - [11 Oct 00] Important improvement: added a system of template | |
| files for the personal pages. It is therefore possible to change the | |
| displaying of the personal pages, by editing the template. It is also | |
| possible, for a site accommodating several databases, to have a | |
| personal template file specific to each database. | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt) | |
| - [06 Nov 00] Changed "anniversaries of death" into "anniversaries | |
| of dead people", since it's about their deaths but also their births. | |
| - [23 Oct 00] Updated Hebrew version (Jonathan B. Marder) | |
| * GeneWeb compiler (gwc) | |
| - [03 Oct 00] Fixed bug: there were an inconsistency between "gwc" | |
| and the inline updating, for persons "keys": the inline updating | |
| considered spaces in names as significant but not "gwc". Result: | |
| when cleaning up a database (gwu + gwc) or when importing a data | |
| base from an old version of GeneWeb, it could cause names conflict | |
| errors (for example if both "Anne.0 Le Blanc" and "Anne.0 Leblanc" | |
| were defined). | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [17 Oct 00] Fixed bug: problem of accessing persons with the same | |
| names when they contained declinations (Czech names, for example). | |
| * GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu) | |
| - [04 Nov 00] Added option "-ad" to select all ancestors of somebody | |
| and all descendants of his/her ancestors (code written by Ludovic | |
| Ledieu). | |
| * GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu) and GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - [28 Oct 00] Added option "-c <num>" not to export people born since | |
| less than <num> years nor their descendants (code written by Ludovic | |
| Ledieu). | |
| * GeneWeb databases Transfer Program (gwtp) | |
| - [29 Oct 00] Fixed bug: if one tried to send a database several | |
| times at the same time (by several requests), it could create a | |
| corrupted database or it could make the program fail. | |
| - [06 Oct 00] Added ability to put a trailer text. | |
| * Setup program (gwsetup) | |
| - [19 Oct 00] Updated Swedish version (Lars Gustavsson) | |
| * Documentation | |
| - [19 Oct 00] Updated Swedish documentation (Lars Gustavsson) | |
| GeneWeb version 3.08 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * Setup program (gwsetup) | |
| - [21 Sep 00] Fixed bug: in recovery from an old version, if the | |
| destination database already existed (created e.g. by a previous | |
| attempt), it could not overwrite the database, even it pretended | |
| it was going to do it. Same problem (fixed also) for the creation | |
| of a database from a GeneWeb source file. | |
| * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) | |
| - [25 Sep 00] When wizard or friend access failure, now display the | |
| page without the priviliged access (instead of just saying "access | |
| failure"). | |
| - [21 Sep 00] When modifying a person, forbid now to let his/her | |
| first name or surname as just "?", because it can cause problems | |
| of linking these persons after a database cleanup. | |
| - [18 Sep 00] In family updating, when creating an unknown person | |
| (i.e. having "?" as firstname or surname), does not set the "source" | |
| field any more for this person. | |
| - [18 Sep 00] Fixed bugs: 1/ while merging persons, automatic merging | |
| sometimes used to loose the death date 2/ while merging families | |
| the comment of the 2nd family used to be ignored. | |
| - [15 Sep 00] In ascendants long display, added notes for siblings if | |
| any (they were missing). | |
| - [14 Sep 00] In update page, if the person's sex is unknown, the | |
| selection "add family" proposes now two case according to the sex. | |
| - [13 Sep 00] Fixed bug: problem of age at death in descendants page, | |
| the same bug than for personal pages fixed 16 Aug (version 3.07). | |
| - [05 Sep 00] Fixed bug: in ancestors surnames list, under Lynx | |
| (browser for alphanumeric terminals), sometimes displayed "incorrect | |
| request" when clicking on certain surnames. | |
| - [04 Sep 00] Fixed bug: in descendants with encoding, for children | |
| married several times, could sometimes display the father's name | |
| instead of a repetition of the child's name. | |
| - [01 Sep 00] Fixed short dates: "between 1935 and 1938" is displayed | |
| now "1935/1938" instead of "ca 1935/1938". | |
| - [30 Aug 00] Fixed bug: sometimes accepted two persons with the same | |
| key. E.g.: after having defined "Charles de Gaulle" and "Charles | |
| Degaulle", when changing the second person' s surname into "de Gaulle", | |
| did not display a name conflict error. | |
| - [28 Aug 00] Added option "-wjf" (= wizard just friend) to permanently | |
| prevent all wizards in all databases to make changes. | |
| - [26 Aug 00] In descendants page, added male line and female line. | |
| - [25 Aug 00] In history, added the ability to see the changes only | |
| by a given wizard. | |
| - [24 Aug 00] Fixed bug: when entering Web addresses (http://...) | |
| in notes, it generates enclosing HTML code to make links, but | |
| sometimes it did it incorrectly. For example the image insertion | |
| <img src=...>? did not work because the program changed it into | |
| <img src=<a href=http://...>> | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) and GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - [31 Aug 00] All surnames aliases (instead of only the first one) are | |
| now saved and restored. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [02 Oct 00] Fixed bug: did not treat begin or end dates in titles | |
| when defined as texts. | |
| - [28 Sep 00] Strip now possible tabulations found in the GEDCOM. | |
| - [26 Aug 00] If -epn (which is default) and -lf, tries now to lowercase | |
| the public names. | |
| * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - [06 Sep 00] Fixed bug: newlines in notes were incorrectly saved, | |
| resulting that when restoring the database (ged2gwb), the lines | |
| were catenated without any spaces. | |
| * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) and GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu) | |
| - [02 Oct 00] Fixed problem: when selecting somebody's ancestors, links to | |
| relations (godparents, for example) were included, even if these relation | |
| were not selected. | |
| - [29 Aug 00] Now, when option "-d" (descendants of) is applied, the | |
| spouses' parents are included, except if the option "-nsp" is given. | |
| * Geneweb compiler (gwc) | |
| - [25 Sep 00] Replaced option "-sh #" by "-sep": the file following | |
| the "-sep" option is treated as separated from the rest, i.e. the numbers | |
| in persons keys are automatically shifted if in conflict with the persons | |
| of the previous files. No more need to find a "shift" number which avoids | |
| the conflicts. Simplifies the databases merging. | |
| - [27 Aug 00] Fixed bug: date e.g. "between 1300 and 1350 Julian" where | |
| printed by gwu as 1300..1350J but gwc expected 1300J..1350 and resulted | |
| in a syntax error. | |
| * GeneWeb databases Transfer Program (gwtp) | |
| - [08 Sep 00] Added small documentation (a README file) for GeneWeb | |
| Web site administrators. | |
| * Base configuration files (base.gwf) | |
| - [29 Sep 00] The change, (version 3.06, 17 Jun 00) about can_send_image | |
| supposed to be yes by default, did not work: fixed. | |
| - [20 Sep 00] Deleted the change version 3.07 (on date: 28 Jul 00) about | |
| the variable body_prop. Return to the previous behavior: defined as | |
| empty or not defined => the default GeneWeb background is used. This | |
| change was necessary 1/ by consistency with other variables 2/ to | |
| make gwtp work correctly. | |
| * Documentation: | |
| - [25..27 Sep 00] Changed in the chapters "merge.htm" and "divide.htm" the | |
| explanations about the separation of input files to avoid conflicts, using | |
| now the new option "-sep" of "gwc" instead of "-shift" (see change in gwc | |
| above, 25 Sep 00). | |
| - [09..25 Sep 00] Updated German version (Falko Trojahn). | |
| - [24 Sep 00] Added a chapter (gwformat.htm) about the GeneWeb source | |
| file format (files ending with .gw). Written by Yann Corno. English | |
| version only. | |
| - [20 Sep 00] Added another page (gwsetup.htm) to explain how to use | |
| gwsetup. Added two paragraphs in a FAQ, in the beginning of the section | |
| "it does not work at all under windows", explaining not to delete the | |
| gwsetup window! | |
| - [07 Sep 00] In the directions for use, the entry "How to start with | |
| GeneWeb" now points to a page which explains that you can start with | |
| the program gwsetup instead of typing interactive commands, which seemed | |
| not to be clear. Changed diruse.htm (link to "start"), added initial.htm, | |
| added small paragraph in start.htm. Added also a paragraph in | |
| recover.htm, merge.htm and maint.htm. | |
| - [03 Sep 00] In FAQ, changed the text about the question of missing | |
| relationship links. | |
| - Added entries in the FAQ about: | |
| * [27 Sep 00] the message "probable loop in the database", | |
| * [08 Sep 00] the research by place/surname, where only one person | |
| by surname is displayed, | |
| * [03 Sep 00] the fact that sometimes, under Windows, it does not | |
| work at all, | |
| * [01 Sep 00] the fact that information in forms sometimes disappear, | |
| * [01 Sep 00] adding more information in family forms, | |
| * [31 Aug 00] short dates displaying conventions, | |
| * [31 Aug 00] repetition of Sosa numbers for ancestors lists, | |
| * [29 Aug 00] advanced request, | |
| * [21 Aug 00] people having "?" (question mark) as first name and/or | |
| surname. | |
| GeneWeb version 3.07 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * New feature | |
| - [18 Aug 00] Added a program "gwtp" (CGI) to upload and download GeneWeb | |
| databases in a site which accommodate some (undocumented program for the | |
| moment). | |
| * Distribution | |
| - [18 Aug 00] Create files named README.htm and LISEZMOI.htm instead | |
| of README.txt and LISEZMOI.txt. | |
| * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) | |
| - [16 Aug 00] In personal pages, does not display the age at death | |
| if less than one year and undefined month/day (it displayed "age at | |
| death: birth"!) | |
| - [14 Aug 00] In personal pages, sources are now printed, even for | |
| non friends, non wizards. | |
| - [11 Aug 00] In first names by alphabetic order for a given surname, now | |
| always specify the parents' names. | |
| - [09 Aug 00] Fixed a problem of missing space after "married to" in | |
| descendants page (did not happen with all browsers). | |
| - [30 Jul 00] Added an option "-conn_tmout" (available only under | |
| Unix) to specify a connection timeout for one request. If the request | |
| has not terminated after this time, it is killed. Default is 120s. | |
| - [30 Jul 00] Contribution from Ludovic Ledieu: changed displaying | |
| of ancestors trees: 1/ clicks on persons fall on their personal pages | |
| (no more for navigation) 2/ vertical bars are clickable to navigate 3/ | |
| no more bars for missing ancestors. | |
| - [28 Jul 00] Fixed problem in images displaying in personal pages | |
| and in trees. Sometimes the image was "broken", its URL being | |
| incorrect. Details: | |
| * This happened in case of local image (field "image" filled in "person" | |
| form), and when the type was not among the recognized types | |
| (i.e. presently "gif", "jpeg", "png"): in these conditions, the URL | |
| for the image was incorrect. | |
| * The fix is not completely satisfactory: this kind of image is now no | |
| more displayed at all. Indeed, "gwd" need to know its type to answer | |
| the browser request (the HTTP answer must contain the image type). | |
| * A solution if there are images with other types than the ones that | |
| "gwd" recognizes, is to use the variable "images_path" in the data | |
| base configuration file (base.gwf). See the changes version 3.05 or | |
| the distributed example file "gw/etc/a.gwf". | |
| - [26 Jul 00] Added small icon in personal page to indicate sex | |
| (Louis Granboulan's idea) | |
| - [19 Jul 00] Fixed bug in places/surnames displaying: some identical | |
| places and surnames could be displayed several times. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [09 Aug 00] Added a consistency check: in some gedcoms (from bad | |
| genealogy softwares), it happens that a person can be noticed as | |
| "spouse" (FAMS) of a family without being however neither husband | |
| (HUSB) nor wife (WIFE) in that family. In the GeneWeb database, the | |
| symptom was that the pages concerning this "spouse" (particularly | |
| his/her personal page) stopped in the middle. Now the converter | |
| displays an error message and fixes this inconsistency in the created | |
| database. | |
| - [28 Jul 00] Fixed bug: when a person was married several times, | |
| the order of families were sometimes incorrect. Actually, the order | |
| wrongly followed the order where the families appeared in the | |
| gedcom, not the order indicated in the individual record. | |
| - [26 Jul 00] Added a lock to the database before writing it (to avoid | |
| multiple accesses which risk to damage it). | |
| * Base configuration files (base.gwf) | |
| - [28 Jul 00] Changed the behavior of the variable "body_prop" making | |
| the difference between 1/ not defined and 2/ defined as an empty string. | |
| In the first case, the default is assumed (i.e. GeneWeb's default | |
| background), in the second case, nothing is added in the <body> | |
| tag. This implies changes in programs "gwd" and "gwsetup". | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt) | |
| - [21 Jul 00] In lexicon: added the terms "Sosa"; changed "list" into | |
| "list/list (ancestors)" (specially for better translation in Swedish) | |
| - [18 Jul 00] Fixed Esperanto version (Thomas Ailleret). | |
| * Documentation: | |
| - [16 Aug 00] Added an entry in the FAQ about the displaying of ages | |
| of persons of more than 80 years old. | |
| - [21 Jul 00] Documentation updates in Swedish (Lars Gustavsson) | |
| GeneWeb version 3.06 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * Languages | |
| - [20 Jun 00] Added Latvian (Janeks Kamerovskis). | |
| * Setup program (gwsetup) | |
| - [20 Jun 00] Added Latvian version (Janeks Kamerovskis). | |
| * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) | |
| - [04 Jul 00] Put all statitics in a different page (accessible only | |
| to "wizards" and "friends"). | |
| - [04 Jul 00] Added the computation of the persons who lived the longest. | |
| - [27 Jun 00] When typing a name holding a number, searches also with | |
| its equivalent in Roman digits (e.g. it is possible to type "Louis 15" | |
| to find "Louis XV"). | |
| - [26 Jun 00] Fixed bug: the images in ".png" format were not accepted. | |
| - [23 Jun 00] Added descendants displaying with d'Aboville's encoding. | |
| - [21 Jun 00] Added displaying of oldest perhaps still alive (from welcome | |
| page). | |
| - [20 Jun 00] Changed displaying of marriage witnesses in personal pages. | |
| - [20 Jun 00] Together with the link to the welcome page (up arrow), added | |
| a link to the referer page (left arrow). | |
| - [19 Jun 00] Changed page design of relationship computing. | |
| - [19 Jun 00] In latest marriages, display now only true marriages (i.e. | |
| not "relations" nor "engagements"). | |
| - [18 Jun 00] Added a link in bottom of welcome pages, useful if you | |
| have got a browser which does not automatically update the modified | |
| pages (forcing you to do "reload current document"). When clicking on | |
| it, you browse without this problem: no more need to reload the pages, | |
| they are displayed with their changes if there are some. | |
| - [18 Jun 00] Fixed little problem: the (new) fast merges of persons did not | |
| appear in the history. | |
| - [17 Jun 00] In update family forms, added a button close to the "family | |
| source": when selected, the "family source" text is automatically put | |
| (as default value) in "family source" fields in future other family | |
| updates. It avoids to have to copy it each time when it is always the | |
| same one. | |
| - [16 Jun 00] Added feature: in relationship computing, when option | |
| "shortest path" is selected, it is displayed together with a link | |
| to see the next shortest path. | |
| - [13 Jun 00] Deleted this stupid "<meta http-equiv...>" in welcome pages | |
| and in other pages, because it makes some browsers generate two requests | |
| and we see the page blinking. Moreover, it has no sense (even if it is | |
| standard), since the HTTP header already contains that. | |
| * General | |
| - [26 Jun 00] In programs ged2gwb (gedcom import), gwb2ged (gedcom export), | |
| consang (consanguinity initialization) and gwu (uncompiler), added an | |
| error message in case of several input files are given (these programs can | |
| treat only one file at a time). | |
| * GeneWeb compiler (gwc) and uncompiler (gwu) | |
| - [29 Jun 00] Fixed problem: persons with "relations" (e.g. adoptive | |
| children) where not saved (gwu) nor restored (gwc) when isolated | |
| (i.e. without parents nor marriages). | |
| * Base configuration files (base.gwf) | |
| - [17 Jun 00] By default now, the "can_send_image" is "yes", meaning that | |
| if you specify nothing, the "send image" is proposed in update pages. To | |
| unset it, you must now specify: can_send_image=no | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt) | |
| - [20 Jun 00] Added entry !language for the translation of languages names | |
| in all languages. Used as labels associated with the flags of welcome | |
| pages. | |
| - [14 Jun 00] Completed and fixed Portuguese version (Jose Paulo Moitinho | |
| de Almeida). | |
| - [14 Jun 00] Completed Dutch lexicon (Bernard Ceurstemont). | |
| * Documentation | |
| - [26 Jun 00] In update.htm, added that images in png format are accepted, | |
| like "gif" and "jpeg" ones. | |
| GeneWeb version 3.05 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) | |
| - [03 Jun 00] In history, added an input field before the ">>" to be able | |
| to specify a number of entries to be displayed in the next page. | |
| - [02 Jun 00] Merge of individuals faster now: can automatically merge | |
| families and individuals when they are identical in both ancestors trees. | |
| - [23 May 00] In "divorce" section, added case "separated". | |
| - [18 May 00] In displaying by places/surnames, baptism places are added | |
| with birth places and burial with death. | |
| - [17 May 00] Added an "Ok" button after the password input area | |
| in CGI mode. | |
| - [14 May 00] Added case "engaged" in "family" forms. | |
| - [14 May 00] Added option "-images_url" to give an URL to GeneWeb | |
| images (flags, logo, background, up arrow). Can be useful e.g. in | |
| cgi mode if the associated Web server answers faster than gwd. By | |
| default, the GeneWeb images are sent by gwd. | |
| - [14 May 00] Fixed bug in update forms (person or family): in case of | |
| name conflict (name already used by another person), when clicking on | |
| the "return" button, the fields containing quotes ("), less (<) or | |
| greater (>) characters were truncated. | |
| - [12 May 00] In short dates (just year), if no death date, burial date | |
| is now displayed. And in pages displaying the ages at death, take now the | |
| baptism date if no birth date and the burial date if no death date to | |
| compute this age (then prefixed by "possibly") | |
| - [10 May 00] In personal pages, the links "ancestors" and "descendants" | |
| are proposed from 2 generations (instead of 3, before). | |
| - [06..11 May 00] Added surname list from "ancestors" page. | |
| - [02 May 00] [technical] In Unix version now, each request gets the | |
| user id and the group id of the owner of the database directory | |
| (base.gwb). No error if cannot change to these ids. Deleted the gwd | |
| options -setuid and -setgid now unuseful. | |
| - [30 Apr 00] Fixed little problem with displaying by places for the ones | |
| containing several (at least two) indications between parentheses. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) and GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - [25 May 00] Now save and restore the marriage witnesses (that was | |
| missing). | |
| * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - [04 Jun 00] Fixed bug: did not save the information "not married" when | |
| no date specified. (Note: in GeneWeb, since there is no GEDCOM standard | |
| for that, the information "not married" is written as "unmarried" in the | |
| marriage place.) | |
| * Base configuration files (base.gwf) | |
| - [03 Jun 00] Added variable "propose_add_family" (default yes). If yes, | |
| propose to wizards a "add family" link in welcome page. If no, not | |
| proposed. | |
| - [25 May 00] Added variable "images_path" to specify a path to access | |
| the images defined in the "image" field (i.e *not* added by "send image"). | |
| Applies only for images not found in the image/base directory. This | |
| variable, when set, could typically start with http://... | |
| - [08 May 00] (detail) The possible trailing spaces or control-m are | |
| now stripped (allowing to move a base.gwf file from Windows to | |
| Unix without needing to remove them). | |
| * Counters (cnt/base.txt) | |
| - [28 May 00] Now, a count of "wizard", "friend" and normal accesses | |
| are added in this file, for statistics. | |
| * Documentation | |
| - [31 May 00, 06 Jun 00] Added paragraph explaining how to install GeneWeb | |
| in server mode under Windows NT (Falko Trojahn). English and German | |
| versions by Falko Trojahn. Swedish translation by Lars Gustavsson. | |
| French translation by Daniel de Rauglaudre. | |
| - [25 May 00] Updated German documentation (Falko Trojahn). | |
| - [06 May 00] Updated Swedish documentation (Lars Gustavsson). | |
| - [04 May 00] Added one item in FAQ about a possible problem in CGI mode. | |
| GeneWeb version 3.04 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * Languages | |
| - [06 Apr 00] Added Afrikaans (Louis Kruger). | |
| * Setup program (gwsetup) | |
| - [09 Apr 00] Fixed some bugs in Linux rpm package causing gwsetup to | |
| fail and the browser to answer "no output". | |
| * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) | |
| - [29 Apr 00] Fixed bug in "descendants", "families with encoding": the | |
| marriage dates of grandchildren could sometime be erroneously the ones | |
| of the children. | |
| - [16 Apr 00] Fixed problem: the kde browser (Konqueror) seems not to handle | |
| the password protocol. Went around the problem by treating it as it were | |
| in CGI mode, where the password has to be given in a form. | |
| - [14 Apr 00] Fixed bug: could no more access a person by his key after | |
| having changed his name, in the case when the initial first name or | |
| surname was a question marks *and* the changed name had nevertheless | |
| the same signature. | |
| Example: | |
| before: first name = "John Smith"; surname = "?" | |
| after: first name = "John"; surname = "Smith" | |
| When doing this fix, there were no more way to access "John Smith" by | |
| his key, particularly in forms (which is rather annoying). | |
| - [13 Apr 00] Added nice display of language code when mouse over the | |
| flag (Emmanuelle Visseaux's code). | |
| - [11 Aor 00] Added optional displaying of images in descendants by tree | |
| and in relationship trees. | |
| - [03 Apr 00] In ancestor page, added horizontal displaying. | |
| - [02 Apr 00] In surname page, added ability to click on a branch number | |
| to display only that one. | |
| - [27 Mar, 05 Apr 00] Added displaying of places/surnames from welcome page. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [11 Apr 00] Fixed bug+problem of adoptive children when they are also | |
| recorded as normal children of their adoptive parents in the GEDCOM | |
| (extracted from a genealogical software having a different logic than | |
| GeneWeb about this subject). The "bug" made the adoptive links not | |
| appear, the "problem" made the parents family not appear. | |
| - [31 Mar 00] Do not enter any more GIVN as public name if equal to first | |
| name nor SURN as surname alias if equal to surname. | |
| * GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu) and GeneWeb to gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - [04 Apr 00] Added option "-nn" not to save database notes. | |
| * Base configuration files (base.gwf) | |
| - [31 Mar 00] Added variable "places_inverted" (default no) to specify that | |
| places are ordered more-general-less-general (e.g. "USA, New York" | |
| instead of "New York, USA"). Important to specify correcty this variable | |
| for the new displaying by places/surnames. | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) | |
| - [26 Apr 00] Changed "death age" into "age at death", "maybe" into | |
| "possibly" and "degre" into "degree". | |
| * Documentation | |
| - [20 Apr 00] Changed the title of the chapter "How to install GeneWeb as a | |
| server" into "How to install GeneWeb as a server or CGI" (English and | |
| French versions). | |
| - [20 Apr 00] Changed the chapter "How to customize the welcome page". | |
| The title becomes "How to customize the welcome page and the other pages" | |
| A section "Customization of all the pages" has been inserted at end | |
| (English and French versions). | |
| - [20 Apr 00] Added the French version of the chapter "Keeping data | |
| divided inside a database". | |
| GeneWeb version 3.03 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * Languages | |
| - [23 Jan 00] Added Russian (Konstantin Abakumov). | |
| * Setup program (gwsetup) | |
| - [07 Feb 00] Changed some Swedish files (Lars Gustavsson). | |
| - [27 Jan 00; 03 Feb 00] Added a comment in the introduction text | |
| telling not to delete the window! (English, French, Swedish versions) | |
| * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) | |
| - [17 Mar 00] In CGI mode, the passwords are no more visible in the URL. | |
| Technical explanation: it works with a generated random login password | |
| with a timeout of 1800 seconds (half an hour), i.e. if you do nothing | |
| during half an hour, the login password is unactivated; this limit time is | |
| changeable by a new gwd option "-login_tmout". Note: this system does | |
| not use cookies. | |
| - [12 Mar 00] In ancestors page, added male and female lines. | |
| - [11 Mar 00] In personal pages, the images defined by external URL (i.e. | |
| accommodated in other Web sites) are now reduced as are local images. | |
| - [11 Mar 00] The information "relationship to" is no more transformed | |
| into "married to" when "non-friend" browsing (it was supposed to protect | |
| private life, but seems to have more drawbacks than advantages). | |
| - [09..10 Mar 00] In update family form, added ability to specify birth | |
| place, death date and death place for parents and children. | |
| - [08 Mar 00] Added latest marriages (accessible only by "wizards" and | |
| "friends") | |
| - [08 Mar 00] Added optional displaying of images in ancestors displaying | |
| by tree. | |
| - [05 Mar 00] In birthday anniversaries for close parents (accessible | |
| in "cousin" page for "friends" and "wizards"), the links give now the | |
| relationship trees, instead of the persons. | |
| - [04 Mar 00] In person and family forms, added input area to specify | |
| a number greater than 1 of titles and children to insert. | |
| - [24 Feb 00] In latest births and deaths pages, display monthes. | |
| - [02 Feb 00] In personal pages, relations are now displayed before notes. | |
| - [20 Jan 00] When sorting the children, use now the baptism date | |
| when there is no birth date. | |
| - [18 Jan 00] Fixed bug: when selecting no database, the default page | |
| asks for a database name, but in CGI mode when entering a database, | |
| it did not work (incorrect URL). | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [19 Feb 00] Added option "-uin" (untreated in notes) asking to put | |
| unused Gedcom tags (of indiduals) in notes. | |
| * Base configuration files (base.gwf) | |
| - [24 Feb 00] Added variable "latest_event" to give the number of latest | |
| events (births, deaths) displayed (default: 20). | |
| - [25 Jan 00] Added variable "public_if_titles": if "yes", consider persons | |
| having nobility titles as public ("public" means that their private data | |
| is displayed even if their dates is less than 150 years). Warning: the | |
| default of this variable is "no": it is a behavior change in GeneWeb, | |
| relatively to previous versions (but don't worry: with this change, | |
| private data is better protected). | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt) | |
| - [10 Mar 00] Changed some Finnish translations (Antti Alfthan) | |
| - [14 Feb 00] Changed the term "place" of nobility titles into "estate" | |
| ("domaine" in French), to avoid the confusion with the "place" of | |

| * Setup program (gwsetup) | |
| - [Oct 28, 99] Added option -p to select another port number (defaut: 2316). | |
| * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) | |
| - [Oct 24, 99] In display by surname, added a specific indication for | |
| the branches whose ancestor has parents with a different surname, in order | |
| to differentiate them with the branches whose ancestor has no parents. | |
| - [Oct 21, 99] Added message "or Sosa number relative to x" when displaying | |
| a relationship computing form if navigating with x as Sosa reference. | |
| - [Oct 21, 99] Limit local images height to some maximum number of pixels | |
| (currently 240). Not applied to distant (http://) images. | |
| - [Oct 21, 99] Fixed bug: there was no automatic "wizard" (resp. "friend") | |
| access in cgi mode when no "wizard" (resp. "friend") password was defined. | |
| - [Oct 20, 99] Added option -a to give a specific IP address for the | |
| service (must be compatible with the computer). | |
| - [Oct 19, 99] Added treatment of png images files. | |
| - [Oct 10, 99] In update form, when name conflict, added the birth and | |
| death date in the list of persons having the same name. | |
| - [Oct 8, 99] Added forum. | |
| - [Oct 5, 99] Fixed links problems in some pages from the DOC | |
| link (some problems found in the Swedish version). | |
| - [Oct 5, 99] Added displaying of number of persons in ascends (short | |
| display). | |
| - [Oct 4, 99] Fixed displaying bug in update history (spot displayed due | |
| to incorrect HTML). | |
| - [Oct 3, 99] Added week day in "calendars" page. | |
| * GeneWeb compiler (gwc) | |
| - [Oct 26, 99] Added option -f, like in ged2gwb: by default now, if the data | |
| base already exists, the program exits in error. If option -f is used | |
| the old database is overwritten. | |
| * GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu) | |
| - [Oct 24, 99] Added option -s to select all persons having a given surname | |
| (option usable several times). Added associated option -nsp, not to select | |
| the spouses' parents (what is done by default). These options has been | |
| added in command gwb2ged too. | |
| - [Oct 19, 99] Fixed bug: notes sometimes disappeared for godparents and co. | |
| - [Oct 10, 99] Fixed bug: dates represented as text where not extracted | |
| in the output file but on standard output. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [Oct 13, 99] Added option "-fne" (for "first names enclosed"): it is | |
| possible to give two characters telling that the usual first name parts | |
| is between those characters: e.g. if they are of the form: | |
| Bernard Jean "Philippe" | |
| use -fne '""' and if they are: | |
| Bernard Jean (Philippe) | |
| use -fne '()', and so on. | |
| * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - [Oct 24, 99] Added option -s to select all persons having a given surname | |
| (option usable several times). Added associated option -nsp, not to select | |
| the spouses' parents (what is done by default). These options has been | |
| added in command gwu too. | |
| - [Oct 5, 99] Changed the way the lines of notes are cut (by tag CONC). | |
| The standard GEDCOM 5.5 tells that too long lines must be cut *inside* | |
| words and not *between* words, to avoid starting or trailing spaces in | |
| CONC lines. Gwb2ged did not do that: it is fixed. | |
| To remain compatible with old GEDCOMS generated by GeneWeb, the ged2gwb | |
| program is not changed: in CONC lines, the possible starting space remains | |
| included in the note (what does not respect the standard, shame on | |
| me). | |
| * Base configuration files (base.gwf) | |
| - [Oct 30, 99] Deleted variable "enclosing_tag" defined in version 2.05 | |
| on July 18, 99. Reason: complicated the code => too many risks of operation | |
| bugs. Sorry for the ones who used it. | |
| - [Oct 29, 99] Added a variable "propose_titles" (yes by default). When | |
| set to "no", the search by (nobility) titles is not proposed in the | |
| welcome page. | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt) | |
| - [Oct 31, 99] [technical point] Changed the conditional macros in | |
| the welcome pages, now between %I and %E. | |
| - [Oct 26, 99] Changed several Portuguese translations (Oscar Filipe de | |
| Oliveira Barroso). | |
| - [Oct 12, 99] Fixed and completed some Norwegian phrases (Brynjulf | |
| Langballe). | |
| - [Oct 4..10, 99] Fixed and completed some Dutch phrases (Joris Esch). | |
| - [Oct 4, 99] Fixed some German phrases (Falko Trojahn). | |
| * Documentation | |
| - [Oct 31, 99] [technical point] Updated the documentation of the macros | |
| of the welcome page. Chapter "customization of pages", section "macros". | |

| - [Sep 9, 99] Added Swedish version (Lars Gustavsson). | |
| - [Sep 8, 99] Fixed lot of typos and errors in English version | |
| (thanks to Lars Gustavsson). | |
| - [Sep 6, 99] Fixed problem in Windows: if the user chose a | |
| language by writing it in uppercase letters, some phrases where | |
| displayed in English language between brackets (no matter which | |
| language was selected), indicating that the language was not found | |
| in the lexicon. | |
| * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) | |
| - [Oct 1, 99] Fixed bug: the pages from the "DOC" link were | |
| sometimes not correctly displayed with certain browsers (HTTP headers | |
| were missing). | |
| - [Sep 24, 99] Added history for updates (option to be set in file base.gwf). | |
| - [Sep 23, 99] Added witnesses for marriages. | |
| - [Sep 22, 99] Fixed bug: bad display of "nth cousin" in Swedish (due | |
| to problems with the character ":" in the translation). | |
| - [Sep 21, 99] Fixed bug: the "DOC" link did not work in CGI mode. | |
| - [Sep 21, 99] Added "CREDITS" in doc, accessible from the "DOC" link too. | |
| - [Sep 20, 99] Changed gif files (flags and up arrow) into jpeg files. | |
| - [Sep 19, 99] In "search", can find someone if only one of his first | |
| names is given: e.g. can find "Marie Liesse de Rohan Chabot" if searching | |
| "Marie de Rohan Chabot" or "Liesse de Rohan Chabot". Works partially, | |
| i.e. only if the classic search failed. | |
| - [Sep 17, 99] Can use now special characters for wizard/friend passwords | |
| in CGI mode (before, it worked only in service mode). | |
| - [Sep 16, 99] Advanced search with baptism date and place did not work: | |
| fixed. | |
| - [Sep 16, 99] Changed the order of dates in modifications forms into: | |
| year/month/day and these fields are now labelled. | |
| - [Sep 15..27, 99] Added calendars for dates (Gregorian, Julian, French | |
| Republic, Hebrew). | |
| - [Sep 11..17, 99] Now, several users and passwords can be defined for | |
| "wizard" and "friend" access, by specifying authorization file names in | |
| the "base.gwf" file. | |
| - [Sep 8, 99] Fixed bug: in descendant displaying, if the person has | |
| quotes in his name, the displaying was sometimes wrong. | |
| - [Sep 8, 99] In "DOC" links, in the bottom of the pages, the links | |
| with Email addresses did not work correctly. Fixed. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [Sep 28, 99] By default now, if a database with the same name already | |
| exists, does not erase it and exits in error. Added option -f to | |
| overwrite the old version. | |
| * Consanguinity computing (consang) | |
| - [Sep 17..19, 99] Run faster when no modifications have been done (e.g. just | |
| after the creation of the database). | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) | |
| - [Sep 22, 99] Fixed some German phrases (Gerriet Backer). | |
| * Documentation | |
| - [Sep 10, 99] Updated Swedish files (Lars Gustavsson). | |

| in update used to forget the selected language. | |
| - [Aug 19, 99] Added more informations (places) in descendants display | |
| by list. | |

| a general introduction). | |
| - [Aug 14, 99] Fixed bug: send image in cgi mode under Windows did not | |

| files (files ending with ".gwf") overriding the possible authorization | |
| file set by option "-auth" of gwd. Therefore now, each database can have | |
| its specific global restricted access. See the template file "a.gwf". | |

| and LISEZMOI.txt (French), added a few lines of explanations for starting | |
| with GeneWeb. | |
| - [Jul 15, 99] Changed internal representation of strings in databases. | |
| Should not make any differences while browsing. However, as it is a major | |
| internal change in the program, problems may appear (mainly in displaying | |
| or in access by name, first name, surname, title...): please report if any | |
| problem. | |
| * Setup program | |
| - [Jul 18, 99] Added in the menu "database parameters" the ability to | |
| display the characters in the pages 1/ in bold, 2/ in italic, 3/ in | |
| smaller or bigger size (using the new key 'enclosing_tag': see below | |
| section "base configuration files"). Bold is useful, for example, if | |
| a background image is used, to make the text more readable. [Spanish | |
| version not yet translated] | |
| - [Jul 15, 99] Changed GEDCOM export menu to reflect new option "-charset" | |
| of "gwb2ged" (see below in section "GeneWeb to Gedcom"). | |
| - [Jul 2, 99] Fixed bug: importing GeneWeb base from old version passing | |
| by a GEDCOM file did not work if the current directory held spaces. | |
| - [Jul 2, 99] Changed names of html files to hold 8 characters maximum | |
| and 3 characters for the extension, to be unzippable by "pkunzip". | |

| - [Aug 3, 99] In relationship by branches, found a solution to | |
| display the vertical bars correctly aligned relative to the | |
| horizontal bars (works at least with Netscape, IE, Kfm). | |
| - [Aug 2, 99] In relationship displaying, can make the difference in | |
| the lexicon between father's and mother's side (used in Swedish, where | |
| there are different words for "uncle", "aunt", "great-uncle" and | |
| "great-aunt" depending on they are on father's or mother's side). | |
| - [Aug 1, 99] Added relationships computing by marriage. | |
| - [Jul 28, 99] In "cousins" pages, added link to uncles and aunts, nephews | |

| the nth rank (e.g. "nth duke of ...") when existing. | |
| - [Jul 19, 99] Fixed bug in descendants by list: displaying was incorrect | |
| when several marriages and one of them with an unknown ("? ?") person. | |
| - [Jul 18, 99] When updating families, the "sources" field is propagated | |
| into the created persons. | |
| - [Jul 18, 99] Fixed small bug for the access by subparts of surnames | |
| (it sometimes accepted too small subparts: then the "search" could | |
| give weird results). | |
| - [Jul 17, 99] In welcome page, now search by surname when search by | |
| full name fails (no need to select "surname"). Idem in relationship | |
| computing. | |
| - [Jul 17, 99] Fixed bug: could not access person after having changed his | |
| name, in some circumstances, e.g. changing the surname "L'epine" (in | |
| two words) into "Lepine" (one word). | |
| - [Jul 16, 99] Added a "back" button in case of update error (useful | |
| for browsers which loose the contents of the forms when navigating). | |
| - [Jul 15..29, 99] In relationship computing, added a long display, | |
| the ability to see the spouses in branches displaying, and the ability | |
| to cancel GeneWeb links. | |
| - [Jul 15, 99] Added system of grammar declinations (required by German, | |
| Esperanto, Czech). Changed the lexicon to use this new system. | |
| - [Jul 9, 99] Added link (upper arrow) to welcome page in displayings by | |
| first names and surnames. | |
| - [Jul 9, 99] Fixed date check for possible father when interval (i.e. was | |
| telling "incorrect" when father died between 1250 and 1260 and son born | |
| in 1255). | |
| - [Jul 3, 99] Added "af" as possible surnames particles (this is Danish) | |
| possibly ignored in "search". | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [Jul 5, 99] Fixed bug sometimes stopping the program (exception | |
| "Invalid_argument") after the detection of an error of a family whose | |
| parents are of bad sex (female father and male mother). | |
| - [Jul 2, 99] Recognizes the dates of the form "FROM..TO..". | |
| * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - [Jul 15, 99] Added option "-charset" whose values can be "ANSEL" or | |
| "ASCII": "ASCII" is the default. Deleted option "-ascii" now unuseful. | |
| - [Jul 2, 99] Generate now dates of the form "FROM..TO.." for titles. | |
| * Base configuration files (base.gwf) | |
| - [Jul 18, 99] Added the key 'enclosing_tag' to enclose whole displayed | |
| text with one or several HTML tags. E.g. by setting it to 'strong', all | |
| text is displayed bold. Added comment about that in the template file | |
| "a.gwf". | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and Welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt) | |
| - [Aug 5, 99] Updated Portuguese phrases (Yves Guignard) | |
| - [Aug 5..6, 99] Updated Norwegian phrases (Brynjulf Langballe) | |
| - [Aug 3, 99] Updated Danish phrases (Hans Albeck) | |
| - [Aug 3..6, 99] Updated Dutch phrases (Joris Esch) | |
| - [Aug 3, 99] Updated German phrases (Markus Mottl) | |
| - [Aug 2, 99] Updated Italian phrases (Daniel Hirschkoff) | |
| - [Jul 23, 99] Updated Swedish phrases (Lars Gustavsson) | |
| - [Jul 23, 99] Added Czech (Hanus Adler). | |
| - [Jul 17, 99] In welcome pages, simplified the text "it is a first | |
| name and surname or public name blah blah blah...". | |
| - [Jul 17, 99] Changed French term for "surname" ("nom" changed into | |
| "patronyme" more common among French genealogists). | |
| - [Jul 8, 99] Updated Swedish phrases (Stig Petersson) | |
| - [Jul 3, 99] Updated Danish phrases (Hans Albeck) | |
| * Documentation | |
| - [Jul 27, 99] Updated Swedish documentation (Lars Gustavsson). | |
| - [Jul 23, 99] Added documentation about the languages with declinations: | |
| "How to make modifications in the database", section 8. | |
| GeneWeb version 2.04 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * Setup program | |
| - [Jun 28, 99] Fixed bug: did not work for directories holding spaces. | |
| - [Jun 19, 99] Changed GEDCOM import menu to reflect new option "-charset" | |
| of "ged2gwb" (see below in section "Gedcom to GeneWeb"). | |
| - [Jun 18, 99] Added a color combination in the provided palette | |
| whiteyellow, black, bluegreen and brown (thanks to Hans Albeck) | |
| * GeneWeb Daemon/CGI (gwd) | |
| - [Jun 30, 99] Added the ability to enter a Sosa number in the welcome page | |
| when navigating with someone as Sosa reference number (still available from | |
| its "ancestors" page). | |
| - [Jun 30, 99] In relationship links, display common ancestors in a more | |
| canonical order. | |
| - [Jun 28, 99] Due to optimization in consanguinity computing (see below), | |
| the answer time of relationship computing for persons without relationship | |
| links is generally faster (it answers: "no relationship links" faster). | |
| - [Jun 26, 99] Added the ability to access persons having composed surnames | |
| by subparts of their surname: e.g. "Josephine Tascher de La Pagerie" can | |
| now be found by typing just "Josephine Tascher" or "Josephine de La | |
| Pagerie". | |
| - [Jun 25, 99] Added short (horizontal) display for surnames by | |
| alphabetic order + ability to cancel GeneWeb links (for creation of | |
| static HTML pages). | |
| - [Jun 22, 99] Fixed bug: send image in CGI mode did not work. | |
| - [Jun 19..28, 99] Added in ancestors long display the ability to select | |
| and unselect the displaying of siblings and the displaying of notes. | |
| - [Jun 19, 99] Changed presentation of ancestors displaying main menu. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [Jun 21, 99] Fixed bug: couples could sometimes be recorded as divorced, | |
| even if not (when there was a "1 DIV" field without DATE and PLAC in the | |
| gedcom file). | |
| - [Jun 19, 99] Can now read MSDOS accentuated characters encoding. Added | |
| option "-charset" which can be followed by "ANSEL", "ASCII" or "MSDOS". | |
| Removed options "-ansel" and "-no_ansel". | |
| Warning: in GEDCOM files, the charset "IBMPC" (which is not standard | |
| GEDCOM 5.5) is by default interpreted as "ASCII", *not* "MSDOS"; to | |
| override this default, the option "-charset MSDOS" will have to be used. | |
| * Consanguinity computing (consang) | |
| - [Jun 28, 99] Optimized code: it is twice faster (on average) now. | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) | |
| - [Jun 30, 99] Translations added in Italian (Daniel Hirshkoff). | |
| - [Jun 18..Jul 1, 99] Translations improvements in Danish (Hans Albeck). | |
| * Documentation | |
| - [Jun 30, 99] Updated Dutch documentation (Joris Esch). | |
| GeneWeb version 2.03 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * Setup program | |
| - [Jun 7, 99] Added a Spanish version (Luis Castro Guzman). | |
| - [Jun 1, 99] The location to open is now always "http://localhost:2316/", | |
| independent from the selected language (no more need to end the location | |
| with "fr" or "en"): the page is displayed in the selected language. | |
| - [May 15, 99] Added deletion of ".gwo" file after then "gwc" operation. | |
| - [May 9, 99] Added predefined palette combination in "database parameters"; | |
| changed presentation of all page. | |
| - [May 9, 99] Added system to forbid non local accesses. | |
| - [May 7, 99] Fixed bug: recovering database from old version of GeneWeb | |
| did not work when the old directory held spaces. | |
| - [May 7, 99] Fixed bad behavior under Windows: "GWU.EXE" (in uppercase) | |
| was not regognized when searching for old GeneWeb versions. | |
| - [May 7, 99] Fixed bug: "cleanup" under Windows did not work. | |
| * GeneWeb aemon/CGI (gwd) | |
| - [Jun 7, 99] No more (stupid) abbreviation for "Number" in update forms: | |
| Did not work for many languages. | |
| - [Jun 3, 99] Added ability to use a new predefined term "+before" in the | |
| lexicon to specify the complement is before a verb (e.g. in German: | |
| "send" "image" is translated into "senden +before" "Bild", which gives | |
| at end: "Bild senden"; same solution for Dutch). | |
| - [May 31, 99] In ancestors only selected generation, added displaying | |
| of Sosa intervals (and "..." is displayed for non-contiguous intervals). | |
| - [May 18, 99] Added, in ancestors and descendants displaying, the ability | |
| to cancel GeneWeb links. Useful to extract a Web page for a site without | |
| GeneWeb server. | |
| - [May 16, 99] Fixed bug: in ascendants long displaying, did not display | |
| the last possible generation. | |
| - [May 15, 99] Added a "?" at end of empty requests (with just the database | |
| name) because of too smart browsers which automatically add a "/" at end | |
| of the address in this case (transforming e.g. "http://host/base" into | |
| "http://host/base/"), what makes the request not working. | |
| - [May 14, 99] Fixed bug: in personal pages, the term "died" was sometimes | |
| missing when there was only a death place but no death date. Happened | |
| for persons born more than 120 years ago. | |
| - [May 12, 99] Fixed problem in CGI mode under Windows: sometimes displayed | |
| warning texts on the page. | |
| - [May 11, 99] Fixed bug: advanced search worked bad when neither "wizard" | |
| nor "friend": did not work when only specifying e.g. a first name | |
| or a surname of an existing (non "public") person. | |
| - [May 11, 99] Fixed bug: when adding ";opt=no_index" in URLs like explained | |
| in the doc ("How to put links to your base"), the used language was | |
| missing in the new URL. | |
| - [May 10, 99] Added ability to put relationship date for non married | |
| persons. | |
| - [May 7, 99] Fixed bug visible in Danish: the AE ligature ("æ") | |
| was incorrectly capitalized. | |
| * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and welcome pages (*/start.txt) | |
| - [Jun 7, 99] Changed terms in Dutch for sentences with verb at end. | |
| - [Jun 7, 99] Added missing terms in Portuguese (Yves Guignard). | |
| - [Jun 3, 99] Added missing terms in German (Markus Mottl). | |
| - [Jun 3, 99] Added some missing terms in Italian (Daniel Hirschkoff). | |
| - [Jun 2, 99] Fixed and completed translations in Swedish (Lars Gustavsson; | |
| some help also from Stig Petersson). | |
| - [May 31, 99] Corrected and completed Spanish sentences in lexicon | |
| and Spanish welcome page (Luis Castro Guzman). | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [May 19, 99] Better catenation of continuation (CONC) notes. In particular | |
| fixes the bug which sometimes added spaces inside words. | |
| * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - [May 19, 99] Fold notes lines at 255 characters (required by GEDCOM | |
| standard) adding CONC. | |
| * Consanguinity computing (consang) | |
| - [May 23, 99] Does not restart from scratch when changes: compute | |
| only what's necessary. | |
| * Documentation | |
| - [May 13..31, 99] Updated Swedish documentation (Lars Gustavsson). | |
| GeneWeb Version 2.02 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * New feature | |
| - [May 4, 99] Added a new program "setup" which will allow to | |
| use a lot of commands without having to type magic incantations in a | |
| MSdos (Windows) or Xterm (Unix) window. Everything is done in the Web | |
| navigator: creation of a database, extraction of a GEDCOM file, cleanup, | |
| etc etc. | |
| Should be convenient for non computer scientists beginners (and even for | |
| old timers computer scientists who already know GeneWeb). | |
| * General | |
| - [Apr 22, 99] Added Danish language (by Hans Albeck). | |
| * GeneWeb Daemon/CGI (gwd) | |
| - [May 6, 99] Fixed bad behavior: in "modify person" form, a person was | |
| not considered as "buried", if the only area filled was "burial place". | |
| - [May 4, 99] Added button "include missing spouses" for missing ancestors. | |
| - [May 4, 99] Suppressed trace log count in CGI mode in not redirected | |
| in a file (option "-log"). Seemed to be incorrectly displayed in the | |
| HTML page in Windows. | |
| - [Apr 30, 99] Fixed another accent problem in displaying in clicking | |
| a first name for corresponding surnames starting with an accentuated | |
| letter. | |
| - [Apr 29, 99] Accept now files in image field ending with ".jpeg" and | |
| ".JPEG" (accepted before only with ".jpg" and ".JPG"). | |
| - [Apr 29, 99] Fixed bug: when a persons first name, last name and number | |
| is the same as another person, GeneWeb shows a warning and suggests a new | |
| number. If the new number is selected, all special signs were | |
| transformed into codes. | |
| - [Apr 29, 99] Fixed small uncomfortable feature: when trying to save an | |
| image from a GeneWeb page, the browsers did not propose a correct file | |
| name to save this image (due to request syntax). | |
| - [Apr 29, 99] Added ability to change the first name and the surname | |
| of all children of a person in one only form. See new doc. | |
| - [Apr 26, 99] Fixed upload of "jpeg" files which sometimes did not work | |
| with Windows (message: "incorrect request") | |
| - [Apr 25, 99] Added space before "+" in short dates. | |
| * Lexicon (lexicon.txt) | |
| - [Apr 23, 99] Some changes in Hebrew version (by Jonathan Marder). | |
| * GeneWeb compiler (gwc) | |
| - [Apr 22, 99] Do not consider the message "notes before definition" | |
| any more as a fatal error. | |
| * GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu) | |
| - [May 3, 99] Added option "-o" for consistency with other commands. | |
| - [Apr 22, 99] Do not save notes any more for persons having "?" as | |
| first name or surname. | |
| * Documentation | |
| - [Apr 29, 99] Added doc for the new feature "change children's names": | |
| in "update.htm", modified section 3, added a point 5 (shifting the | |
| point "add parents" to number 6), added section 5.8 for explanations. | |
| GeneWeb Version 2.01 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * General | |
| - [Apr 2, 99] Added Norwegian language (Brynjulf Langballe). | |
| - [Mar 30, 99] Changed term "photo" into "image". | |
| * GeneWeb Daemon/CGI (gwd) | |
| - [Apr 20, 99] Changed suffix ".cnf" into ".gwf" for configuration files | |
| (because of confusion with that predefined suffix in Windows). | |
| - [Apr 20, 99] In short dates (just year), if no birth date, baptism date | |
| is displayed. | |
| - [Apr 19, 99] In latest births and latest deaths displaying, the | |
| dates with just the year or just the month and the year are also taken | |
| into account. | |
| - [Apr 17, 99] Improved relationship branches displaying to be readable | |
| with Lynx (terminal browser without tables). | |
| - [Apr 16, 99] When merging persons, the lowest number is proposed by | |
| default. | |
| - [Apr 16, 99] Added long display for ancestors. | |
| - [Apr 13, 99] Fixed bug in personal pages: for people having a public | |
| name, the (small) links to the first name and surname could work | |
| bad in case of accents. Fixed other bug same kind: in advanced | |
| request, research did not work if accents were used... | |
| - [Apr 6, 99] Fixed bug in personal pages, titles dates were sometimes | |
| displayed just as "...". | |
| - [Apr 2, 99] Fixed bug: in missing ancestors in alphabetic order, the | |
| accents in surnames were incorrectly displayed. | |
| - [Mar 30, 99] Added the spouses when displaying relationship links with | |
| cousins (from the "cousin" link in personal pages). | |
| - [Mar 25, 99] Added the "unmarried" case for couples. | |
| - [Mar 23, 99] Added display of number of accesses in traces. | |
| - [Mar 17, 99] In person modification form, determines whether a person | |
| is died or not (if not specified), according to his age. | |
| - [Mar 16-19, 99] The presence of images in pages does not block any | |
| more the display of the text. For example, in welcome pages, the text | |
| does not wait for the displaying of the flags to be displayed, which | |
| is much more comfortable. (This applies only for local images). | |
| - [Mar 14, 99] In anniversaries, in the list of months, the selected | |
| month is now the current month, not always January. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [Apr 2, 99] Added the automatic computation that a person is died or | |
| not (if not indicated in the gedcom), according to the person's age, | |
| and deleted the option "-nd". | |
| - [Mar 31, 99] Added option "-log" to redirect output. | |
| - [Mar 20, 99] Added options for dates where months are represented by | |
| numbers: -dates_dm when day before month and -dates_md when month | |
| before day. | |
| - [Mar 16, 99] Did not work for gedcom files with white spaces in the | |
| beginning of the lines. Fixed. | |
| - [Mar 11, 99] Fixed horrible bug: treatment of accents worked bad for | |
| gedcom files with ascii charset (resulting problems in "a" umlaut, for | |
| example). | |
| * Consanguinity computing (consang) | |
| - [Mar 26, 99] Added option -q for quiet mode, just displaying a progress | |
| bar. | |
| * Lexicon (lexicon.txt) and Welcome files (xx/start.txt) | |
| - [Mar 10, 99] Some changes in Italian version (by Raffaele Sena). | |

| for the "death state" (see above), file "update.htm", section 5.4 "modify | |
| a person", paragraph "Death". | |
| * Internal | |
| - [Mar 24, 99] (working Unix only) Added options "-setuid" and "-setgid" | |
| to "gwd" to change the user or group id after socket bind. This allows | |
| for example to use the port 80 (root needed) but accessing data as | |
| normal user. | |
| GeneWeb Version 2.00 | |
| -------------------- | |
| From the version 2.00, the license is GPL (GNU General Public | |
| License). The previous license still applies up to the version 1.11 | |
| included. | |
| * GeneWeb daemon/CGI (gwd) | |
| - [Mar 7, 99] Added ability to enter directly birth dates for children | |
| in families forms. | |

| birthday" any more! And displayed age is "birth" and not "less than | |
| one year". | |
| - [Feb 26, 99] Displaying of first name alias in personal pages does | |
| not include the surname any more. | |
| - [Feb 23, 99] In non leap years, birthday anniversaries of February 29 | |
| are counted and celebrated March 1. | |

| were often truncated. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - [Feb 14, 99] Assumed wrongly that all families were defined after | |
| individuals, because it is often the case in Gedcom files. But this is | |
| not mandatory in definition Gedcom 5.5. Fixed. | |
| - [Feb 6, 99] Accept dates with "/" (20/11/1993) although it is not | |
| standard Gedcom 5.5. Interpreted as day/month/year. | |
| * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - [Feb 26, 99] Fixed error: the first name alias if any was always saved | |
| in the gedcom as first name. Now saved only as first name if it starts | |
| with the first name (e.g. if first name = "John" and first name alias = | |
| "John Philip Robert"). | |
| * GeneWeb compiler (gwc) | |
| - [Feb 19, 99] The option "-cg" did not work. Fixed. | |
| * GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu) | |

| photo for someone, a default name is searched. | |
| - [Jan 20, 99; Jan 30, 99] Added display of latest deaths. | |
| - [Jan 19, 99] Added direct links to siblings. | |
| - [Jan 18, 99] Family comment now displayed like dates (=> possible | |
| visibility by password restriction). | |
| - [Jan 18, 99] In notes and sources, the string "%s" is replaced by the | |
| name of the base in the same context. For example, in a source field, | |
| if "John Smith" is in the same database, it is possible to record it | |
| as: | |
| <a href="%sp=john;n=smith">John Smith</a> | |
| - [Jan 11, 99] Display declined forms (for some languages). E.g.: | |
| * in German: "x ist ein Sohn von einem Cousin von y" | |
| ("einem" instead of the inkorrect "ein"). | |
| * in Esperanto: "aldoni personon" | |
| ("personon" instead of the incorrect "persono") | |
| * GeneWeb compiler (gwc) | |
| - [Jan 26, 99] Fixed bug: failure when backslashes in source. | |
| - [Jan 18, 99] Fixed two bugs in dates parsing: 1. "x..y" (between x and | |
| y) was interpreted as "x|y" (x or y) 2. did not accept "d/m/y..y". | |

| - [Feb 3, 99] No more message "Not implemented SUBM". | |
| - [Feb 1, 99] Accept now "BET x AND" as "AFT x" and "BET AND x" as "BEF x". | |
| - [Feb 1, 99] Fixed bug: date intervals did not work (generating "maybe"). | |
| * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - [Jan 19, 99] Fixed bug: the tag "<br>" was converted into a new line | |
| only in lowercase form; "<BR>" did not work. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb and GeneWeb to Gedcom (ged2gwb, gwb2ged) | |
| - [Jan 18, 99] When there are several names (several records "1 NAME") for | |
| someone in Gedcom, the other become "aliases" (and vice versa for | |
| gwb2ged). | |
| * GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu) | |
| - [Feb 4, 99] Notes for persons having "?" no more saved (these | |
| persons are supposed to be deadends and this made "gwc" fail). | |
| * Lexicon file (lexicon.txt) | |
| - [Feb 3, 99] Some changes in Swedish translation (Lars Gustavsson). | |
| - [Jan 28, 99] Added section "!dir" for languages written right to left. | |
| - [Jan 28, 99] [minor] Portuguese translation now in pure ascii using | |
| HTML "&" macros instead of accents (no changes in Portuguese displaying) | |

| the command displaying in a file. | |
| - [Jan 26, 99..Feb 3, 99] Fixed many typos in english version (Lars | |
| Gustavsson). | |
| - [Jan 25, 99] Added doc explaining consanguinity: new link in "directions | |
| for use". | |
| - [Jan 24, 99] Added doc for default photo name (new feature) in "directions | |
| for use", page "modifications", section 5.4 ("modify a person"), | |
| paragraph "Photo". | |

| were sometimes not found. | |
| - [08/01/99] Changed term "consanguinity" into "relationship" in | |
| relationship computing (because confusion with the usual meaning of | |
| the term "consanguinity"). | |
| - [06/01/99] Deleted Unix option "-robot_xcl": worked bad, did not detect | |
| robots, detected robots when there are not, too complicated to fix. | |
| (The normal HTTP robot exclusion remains.) | |
| - [28/12/98] Changed some http requests to hold no accents (should be | |
| continued...) | |
| - [19/12/98] Fixed bug quotes disappearing in field "first name aliases" | |
| in form Update/Person (if the value holds quotes). | |
| - [18/12/98] No more HTML "table" used in relationship links with | |
| one branch (=> more compact display and visible in browsers | |
| without tables, e.g. "lynx"). | |
| - [13/12/98] The directory cnt is no more searched in the directory where | |
| the daemon (or the CGI) is launched but in the base directory (option -bd | |

| GeneWeb Version 1.09 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * Inside databases | |
| --- Precisions of dates now apply not only for years, but for complete | |
| date. E.g. "maybe on september 1815" or "after september 23, 1815". | |
| --- In dates, added case "between": between year and another year. | |
| - Structure of databases have been changed for these two above points. | |
| - Area "comment" in families is now kept even if there are children. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) | |
| - Delete of duplicated FAMS which sometimes happen in erroneous Gedcoms. | |
| - Delete families from GEDCOM when parents don't have the good sex. | |
| - Added displaying of line number when syntax errors and unrecognized dates. | |
| - Get sources if defined by pointer (but just the 1st line). | |
| - Added option "-no_nd" (no negative dates), not to interpret years preceded | |
| by a minus sign as negative dates. | |
| * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) | |
| - Added option "-ascii" to output in ASCII encoding instead of ANSEL. | |
| * Gedcom to GeneWeb and GeneWeb to Gedcom (ged2gwb, gwb2ged) | |
| - The <em>GeneWeb</em> fields "public name", "surname alias" and | |
| "photo" are now loaded from and saved to Gedcom resp. as: "2 GIVN", | |
| "2 SURN" and "1 OBJE (newline) 2 FILE". | |
| * GeneWeb daemon/CGI (gwd) | |
| --- Added alibity to specify someone as Sosa reference. Then the Sosa | |
| number is printed in navigation when displaying ancestors. Thanks to | |
| Emmanuelle Visseaux for this idea. | |
| --- Restructuration of displaying of surnames and first names by alphabetic | |
| order and frequency. Fixed bug of bad alphabetic order when first names | |
| and surnames with accents. Access in indexes faster. | |
| - In list by title places, added clickable "The whole list" giving the | |
| list of all persons associated with this place, whatever the title. | |
| - Descendants display limited to 12 generations in all cases (else too much | |
| text or too long to answer). | |
| - Added error message in relationship computing when loop in | |
| database (someone being his/her own ancestor). | |
| - In "search", added ability to write "I" instead of "Ier" (french form). | |
| Ex: "Charles I" or "Charles Ier" are both accepted. | |
| - Added ability to add ";opt=no_index" at end of requests to get an | |
| equivalent link independent from the persons' index number (useful | |
| to put direct links in Web pages). | |
| - Added text "Parents of" in top of pages of missing ancestors. | |
| - Fixed still several bugs (accents) due to new ANSEL encoding. | |
| * Base configuration files (xxx.cnf) | |
| - Added variable "wizard_just_friend" to suspend the powers of | |
| "wizards" (e.g. for maintenance): when set to "yes", they become | |
| simple "friends" (default: "no"). | |
| - Variable "renamed" can be used to specify that a database has been | |
| renamed. Generates a page giving the good URL to use. | |
| * GeneWeb compiler and Consanguinity computing (gwc, consang) | |
| - Fixed accents displaying in traces and error messages. | |
| * Welcome pages (start.txt) | |
| - Fixed wrong displaying of number of accesses in spanish (es) and | |
| portuguese (pt) versions. | |
| - Display thousand separators in numbers of accesses. | |

| - Added 2 cases in FAQ. | |
| - Many small changes. | |
| GeneWeb Version 1.08 | |
| -------------------- | |
| * Added portuguese among languages (thanks to Yves Guignard). | |
| * gwd: | |
| - fixed several displaying bugs due to ANSEL | |
| - in forms, when a precision (about, maybe, before, after, or year) is given | |
| for a date, the day and month part are ignored, since its works only for | |
| years (for the moment). | |
| - photos and background in directory "images" can be installed in a | |
| subdirectory having the name of the database; ex: "images/martin" for | |
| the database "martin". | |
| - display "+" for dead people even if not known date | |
| * gwc, gwu: | |

| * doc: | |
| - added doc for merging databases, persons and families. | |

| - added option -nd setting flag "not dead" instead of "don't know if dead" | |
| for personal records where "DEAT" exists but is empty. | |
| * gwb2ged: | |
| - start now pointers with 1 instead of 0 because some softwares seem not | |
| to accept @I0@ and @F0@. | |

| * bug fixes: | |
| - Fixed a problem of blocking: the symptom was that, in some | |
| versions of Windows 95, "gwd" started normally, but when opening | |
| the site in the navigator, the site was found but the navigator was | |
| waiting and waiting forever. | |
| - When updating a person, if the "notes" field holds only a newline, | |
| the request is rejected => fixed. Moreover some browsers add this "bad" | |
| newline if the notes fields is empty => fixed. | |

| - added request m=R;p=..;n=..;p1=..;n1=.. displaying relationship | |
| between two persons by their names | |
| * ged2gwb: | |
| - when converting a date with qualifier, if the date holds day or month, | |
| converts into: "ca Year". Ex: "AFT APR 1218" is read as "ABT 1218". | |

| * gwd, a.cnf, lang/lexicon.txt | |
| - deleted principle of "message" (was undocumented, anyway) | |

| -------------------- | |
| * doc: | |
| - explain a solution for the problem of connection off line | |
| * ged2gwb: | |

| or suppress the encoding, overriding the possible setting in GEDCOM. | |
| * gwd: | |
| - fixed bug: error while treating anniversaries of marriage in | |
| databases where families had been deleted: | |
| Uncaught exception: Failure("access persons out of bounds") | |

| --------------------------- | |
| Still intermediate version to perfect "CGI" mode. | |
| * gwd: | |
| - fixed bug: update did not work in cgi mode. | |
| - print person link after "family switch" | |
| - when using "add parents", surname is printed in child area => ability | |
| to change father's. | |
| GeneWeb Version 1.0 beta.9 | |
| -------------------------- | |
| Intermediate version to perfect "CGI" mode under Windows NT. | |
| * More documentation | |
| * gwd: | |
| - cgi is detected by the presence of environment variable QUERY_STRING. | |
| It seems that .bat files is not accepted in Web servers in Windows NT, | |
| so one must use "gwd" itself. | |
| - if "gwd" is installed in cgi directory, and is renamed, e.g. "geneweb.exe", | |
| ability to add a file named "geneweb.arg" holding some lines | |
| * the first line if existing holds the name of the directory | |
| where "lang" is installed | |
| * the second line if existing holds the name of the directory | |
| where the databases are installed | |
| * the third line, if existing, may hold the string "cgi" telling | |
| that gwd must run on "cgi" mode, even if QUERY_STRING is | |
| not set | |
| - added option -bd: bases directory | |
| - no error message now if background not found | |
| * Deleted "add/person" in update (gwd) and in welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt) | |
| => impossibility now to directly create isolated persons. This is because | |
| it often leads to manipulation errors. To add a new baby, use "modify | |
| family" from one of his parents' personal record. | |
