Version 6.1.0-beta2, an experimental pre-release.

Make sure to backup before you upgrade.

The key word is experimental!

It might be unwise to "upgrade" your main/real Gramps family tree into 6.1.0-beta2. In general, we recommend you make a copy of your family tree instead (typically by doing a "gramps XML" export), then try 6.1.0-beta2 on the copy. (You can keep things really separate by using the GRAMPSHOME environmental variable, if you want.)

Authentication keys are now available for public beta testing of our Gramps-FamilySearch Integration.

We are interested in your feedback, especially if you discover any bugs or problems which we haven't noticed.
