The Gedcom parser library

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 0.90.0

Notes:
release 0.90.0 (2 February 2003):

 - The interface of libgedcom and libgedcom_gom should now be functionally
   complete.  The library can now be regarded as beta.

 - New features (see documentation):
     - C object model interface:
        - functions to add and remove records
        - functions to update timestamps in records
        - functions for setting, adding, removing and moving xref values
        - functions for setting, adding, removing and moving substructs
        - function to set options for compatibility handling
     - programs:
        - gedcom-check (checks standards compliancy of GEDCOM files)
        - gedcom-sanitize (converts to standard GEDCOM)

 - INTERFACE CHANGE: The two functions gedcom_write_set_encoding and
   gedcom_write_set_line_terminator now take an extra first argument, which
   can indicate whether the setting should be taken from the file, from the
   system or be manually set.  An easy fix for your program is to add as first
   argument ENC_MANUAL.  See documentation for details.

 - INTERFACE CHANGE: The signatures of gedcom_write_... and the date and age
   functions have been updated for const correctness.  This should be
   especially useful for programs using C++.

 - Some compatibility added (not necessarily complete):
    - PAF (Personal Ancestral File), version 2, 4 and 5
    - Family Origins
    - EasyTree

 - Lots of bug fixes.
