*Highlights*

_Reports_

The narrative web report has four main improvements:

* New indexes for big databases.
* Add heatmap.
* Improve language and hamburger menus.
* Show other roles for an event.

Other report changes:

* Add gender symbol option to the detailed descendant, detailed 
ancestral and descendant report.
* Add Gramps ID option to Kinship Report.
* Tree reports convert images to thumbnails for embedding. This allows 
cropped rectangles selected in the media references to be displayed.
* Report options are now memorised on a per family tree (database) level.

_Gramplets_

The following updates have been made:

* Improvements to the backlinks (References) gramplets:
     * Allow an object to be made active from within the backlinks gramplet.
     * Add a context menu to make “Edit” and “Make Active” more 
discoverable.
     * Allow objects in the backlinks gramplets to be dragged to the 
clipboard.
* Add edit capability to the notes gramplets.
* Enhanced version of the Filter gramplet.

_Selector dialogs_

The selector dialogs have been improved:

* A standard search bar has been added to the person selector dialog. It 
may default to selecting men or women by default, but selecting on other 
columns is possible.
* It is now possible to select multiple media objects in the media 
selector and gallery tabs.
* The media selector has a new path column.

_Other changes
_
* Improvements to the Probably Alive code.
* New rules: “Has Event”, “Has Source” and “Having Note of Type”.
* New Gedcom 7.0 event roles: “Father”, Mother", “Parent”, “Child”, 
“Multiple”, Friend", “Neighbour” and “Officiator”.
* Allow web-accessible file references in media objects.
* Add a preference option for the selection of the toolbar style.
* Enhancements to the help display. This is ongoing though.
* Enable Web Connection menu in all list views.

_Technical stuff_

These changes are probably less interesting to most people:

* Many bug fixes.
* Removal of deprecated features.
* Adding type hints and static type checking.
* Code quality improvements and clean-ups.
* Extra unit tests.

_Database-related changes_

In layman’s terms, the following changes have been made to the database:

* We now store objects in the database in a human-readable format.
* Power users can now read the database directly without needing to use 
python.
* Certain operations may be slower, but we don’t think by much.
* Refactoring and optimisation of the filters/rules should make these 
much quicker.
* The new storage format will make future maintenance and optimisations 
easier for the developers.
*

You can obtain Gramps 6.0.0 from the GitHub release page.
https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/releases/tag/v6.0.0

Version 6.0.0-rc2, an experimental pre-release.

Make sure to backup before you upgrade:

https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_make_a_backup

The key word is experimental!

It might be unwise to "upgrade" your main/real Gramps family tree into 
6.0.0-rc2. In general, we recommend you make a copy of your family tree 
instead (typically by doing a "gramps XML" export), then try 6.0.0-rc2 
on the copy. (You can keep things really separate by using the 
GRAMPSHOME environmental variable, if you want.)

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

Version 5.2.0-rc1, a release candidate.

Make sure to backup before you upgrade:

https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_make_a_backup

Whilst we don’t anticipate any major problems with this release we still 
urge caution.

It might be unwise to "upgrade" your main/real Gramps family tree into 
5.2.0-rc1. In general, we recommend you make a copy of your family tree 
instead (typically by doing a "gramps XML" export), then try 5.2.0-rc1 
on the copy. (You can keep things really separate by using the 
GRAMPSHOME environmental variable, if you want.)

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

2024-02-09
Version 5.2.0-rc1

* Updated translations: ar, bg, cs, da, de, de_AT, en_GB, es, fi, fr, 
he, hr, mk, nb, nl, pl, pt_PT, ru, sk, sr, sv, tr, uk, zh_CN.
* Add Hebrew relationship calculator.
* Add Hebrew date handler.
* Refine Hebrew About modifiers in date parser.
* Add Hebrew to the list of user manual translations.
* Update copyright dates.
* Windows AIO:
   * Improve AIO build script to run without modifications. The build 
script required modification before first use to set the full path to 
the local aio directory. Second change is to use the `-N` option in wget 
to avoid downloading a file if the timestamp hasn't changed on the 
server. Third change is to avoid the script from asking for interactive 
input on second and subsequent runs.
   * Add pip.exe and Adwaita scalable icons to Windows AIO.
   * Fix up Windows AIO for pip, and Finnish spell check.
   * Ignore AIO build artifacts in .gitignore file.
* Addon Manager:
   * Invalidate caches after new python modules are installed. This 
ensures that any new python modules installed will be found by the 
python import mechanism.
   * Allow multiple versions in gi requirements. Enhances the 
`requires_gi` property in gpr files to allow mutiple versions of a 
GObject introspection module.  e.g. requires_gi=[("GooCanvas", "2.0,3.0")]
   * Update a couple of strings to clarify the Addon Manager UI. Fixes 
#13019.
   * Fix Addon Manager help link. Fixes #13018.
   * Capitalize "python" in the Addon Manager settings. Fixes #13016.
   * Fix addon prerequisites install.
   * Make the Addon Manager available without a tree loaded.
   * Change "url" to "URL" in the project editor.
   * Set default project editor window width to 600.
   * Refresh row in Addon Manager after an addon is installed. When an 
addon is installed there is no need to refresh the addon listing. We 
just need to update the row. This also keeps the user in the same place 
in the list. Fixes #13001.
   * Rename "Uninstalled" to "Not installed".
   * Add an extra requirements check after installing modules.
* Verify tool:
   * Convert the Data Verify tool to display results in a tree.
   * Add 8 more data verify rules.
   * Fix some garbage collection issues.
   * Performance enhancements.
   * Also fixed a small amount of easy pylint issues.
* Fix invalid escape sequences by doubling backslashes, or making the 
strings raw, as is commonly done for regexes.
* Make subprocess inherit environment variables in setup script. The 
PATH environment variable got unset for that subprocess, thus not being 
able to find msgfmt.
* Fix command line progress output. The text was partly overwritten 
whenever the percent value was updated. Add unit tests.
* Added HasRepo rule to rule list. Fixes #13097.
* Fix references to gramps-xml file format in man pages.  Change -f 
gramps-xml to -f gramps Fixes #9723.
* Update and fix CSV import.  See: 
https://gramps.discourse.group/t/how-can-people-be-deleted-according-to-a-list/4511/13?u=dsblank
* Fix gramps example media source.
* Clarify the Tip of the Day text to indicate that it applies 
specifically to "Grouped People View", not the flat People View. Fixes 
#12897.
* Report simpler Python version string in About and Error dialogs.
* Fix DeprecationWarning for invalid escape sequence. Change to use raw 
string.
* Fix invalid file mode error with Python 3.11.
* Fix hyphenated surnames in name displayer. Strip spaces around a 
hyphen, so for example, "Smith - Jones" is cleaned up to become 
"Smith-Jones". Fixes #13086.
* Add year rounding option to preferences. Fixes #12422.
* Fix context menu in all family events quick view screen. Fixes #12759.
* Added option to display birth and death info in descendant report. 
Implements #12758.
* Update Doug Blank's email address.
* Add new event reference citations to the private proxy.
* New citations not included on the Narrative Web. Fixes #13046
* Add event reference citations to the complete individual report. Fixes 
#13035.
* Fix display of gramplet help URLs that start with "https://". A 
help_url starting with either "http://" or "https://" should be used as 
the full url to be displayed in the browser.  Fixes #13039.
* Fix bug in narrative web when the role name contains a dash. Not 
enough values to unpack in sort_by_role. Fixes #13042.
* Make the narrative web support both LTR and RTL layouts. Fixes #12960.
* Minor string changes to narrative web report options.
* Sort Confidence column in source citation tabs. The "Confidence level" 
is sorted by confidence label instead of the internal value. The 
"Confidence level" text is too wide and replaced by "Confidence". Fixes 
#13036.
* Fix imports test for new note added to database.
* Fix GEDCOM import for SUBN record containing note. Fixes #13024, #12152.
* Use imagesize rather than magic.
* Reformat code using the latest stable version of black.
* Fix sizing of shared information in the reference editors. Sets the 
packing of the expander widget to depend on whether or not it is 
expanded. Fixes #13030.
* Fix crash when displaying settings in context menu popup of the 
pedigree view. A separator menu item was being added twice.  Fixes #13029.
* Add help_url to built-in gramplet plugin data. Link Gramplets to new 
wiki landing anchor of lookup table which shows which Gramplets work in 
which categories.
* Add right and left margins to the welcome gramplet. Add some white 
space between the left/right text box borders and the text glyphs. See: 
https://gramps.discourse.group/t/what-can-i-do-to-help-fix-unpadded-text-gramplets/2293/2
* Rename "Ancestor View" to "Pedigree View" in Tip of the Day. Fixes #13023.
* Fix translated Tip of the Day entries with quote characters. When 
extracting strings from the `tips.xml` file, xgettext removes the escape 
sequence for the quote character (") so we don't need to add it 
back before we obtain the translated string. Fixes #12325.
* Fix a few deprecation warnings. Issue #13021.
* Fix report dialog error when no active person selected. Running a 
report from the reports dialog with no active person selected caused an 
error. Fixes #13020.
* Rename citation formatter from "Default" to "Legacy".
* Update width of Gramps ID fields in editors. These fields appeared 
wider in earlier Gtk versions. Fixes #12999.
* Replace remaining Gtk.Menu.popup calls The `popup` method is 
deprecated. The remaining calls to `popup` are replaced by 
`popup_at_pointer`.
* Fix positioning of popups relative to widgets. Replace `popup` with 
`popup_at_widget` and remove old positioning functions. Fixes #13008.
* Change the subscript key binding in the note editor. Use <PRIMARY>r 
for subscript. The standard keyboard shortcut for copy is <PRIMARY>c. 
Fixes #13002.
* Set filter editor rule list to expand.
* Fix display of help links in gramplet bars. Use `display_help` rather 
than `display_url` to display manual pages.
* Add more scrollbars to the Preferences dialog.
* Fix bug in endnotes citations.
* Fix bug when deleting a row from a filtered flat list view. Fixes #12995.
* Fix sizing of the surname table in the name editor. The columns were 
slightly too large requiring a scrollbar with the default dialog size 
and column widths.  Fixes #12994.
* Add missing cite and thumbnailer plugin directories to build script.
* Include javascript files in installation. Fixes #12991.
* Fix black margin in project list with scrollbar. Fixes #12993.

   - Add python-fontconfig to the macOS build.  Needed to enable using
     genealogical symbols.

Changes since v5.1.3:

* Update translations: cs, de, es, fi, fr, hu, nl, pt_BR, ru, sv, zh_CN.
* Update copyright date.
* Fix probably alive if death without date.
* Place editor, copy and paste of lat and long text no longer 
auto-populating latitude and longitude fields.
* Fix for crash when changing views if part of toolbar is not shown 
because of a small screen when changing views.
* Fix bottombar always showing after restart, even when not wanted.
* Always use filtered collation names.  Store the Sqlite3 collations in 
the __collations array to short-circuit re-creation.
* Fix issue with German relation calculator fixed issue when more than 
24 generations between the two people.
* Add file logging for macOS. When Gramps is launched from macOS's 
LaunchServices it doesn't have a sys.stderr attached so the default 
stream logger goes to /dev/null. Use a FileHandler in tht case, writing 
the log to $TMPDIR/gramps-pid.log. This will help particularly in 
analyzing crashes where python shuts down as there's no crash report in 
that case.
* Fix libplaceview to avoid exception when mapservice is no longer present.
* Fix References Gramplet for inadequate updates when other objects change.
* Fix geofamily crash if a family has no father.
* Home Person setting does not convey in a merge.
* Fix CSV export of view to only put single CR character.
* Add Media filter rule 'HasMedia' to list of media rules for editor.
* Need to set locale.textdomain under linux. _build_popup_ui() ignores 
translated strings without locale.textdomain set.
* Change category of 'MatchesEventFilter'.
* Fix issue where separator between top and bottom bar of View creeps up.
* Fix Locations Gramplet (Enclosed by) to properly display certain 
nested places when the smallest place has undated enclosure and larger 
places are dated.
* Fix Family Tree Manager drop error on Windows.
* Fix exportvcalendar error is "is not" with a literal (Python 3.8 issue)
* Handle not found when copying source from the citation tree.
* Fix call to 'file' function, which doesn't exist in Python3.
* Fix write_lock_file exception when USERNAME is missing.
* Fix EditPlace so Tab key doesn't get stuck on Private icon.
* Fix Tag report for places that have a hierarchy.
* Fix exception when cancelling out of a db upgrade in GUI.
* Icon file changes:
   - Install 128x128 and 256x256 application icons.
   - Install MIME type icons into the hicolor theme.
   - Remove gnome-mime- prefix from icon filenames.
   - Install application icons into correct directories.
* Fix error in Birthday and Anniversary report. Fixes an error triggered 
when the first person_handle in the list has a death event, but no birth 
event and does not have family relationships. These conditions lead to 
the local variable short_name not being declared before it comes time to 
process death events.
* Fix graphdoc to properly escape characters in ids for Graphviz.
* Replace inspect.stack() with inspect.currentframe(). Works around 
Python issue [#12920](https://bugs.python.org/issue12920) which causes 
every call to inspect.trace() to fail because __main__ is always the 
starting point.
* Fix crash sorting on columns in Selectors with TreeModels.
* Fix progress bar freeze due to changes in Gtk.
* Fix svgdrawdoc for text containing XML invalid characters.
* Mac:
   - Update PyICU to 2.7.2 in macOS build.
   - Update dependencies. Includes moving berkeleydb and pybsddb over 
from gtk-osx.
   - Further changes for bundling with Python 3.8.
   - Set __file__ if gramps_launcher.py is run as __main__.

See:
https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_make_a_backup

Changes since 5.0.2:

* Bump required Python version to 3.3, Gtk version 3.12
* Update translations: ca, cs, da, de, en_GB, eo, fi, fr, hr, hu, is, it,
nb, nn, pl, po, pt_BR, ru, sl, sv, uk, vi
* Change default database backend to SQLite
* New feature to allow Filter Rules to be added via addons.
* New feature to use Genealogical symbols. Includes support for views and
reports. Edit/Preferences/Genealogical Symbols to enable.
* New: On restart after crash, offer to run Check & Repair
* New CLI commands; ‘safe’ mode and ‘default’ to help user with debugging
Gramps
* Narrative web fixes:
** some strings not translated
** The confidence and the date are not translated in the family map page.
** The date doesn’t use the specified date format.
** Markers incorrectly placed. In the map pages, the markers are not placed
where it should be. Reproducible when zoom in/zoom out.
** Background not correctly set. If you use the Web_Basic-Cypress.css, the
foreground and background use the same color, so you see nothing.
** You must hover the fields to see the text
** Places list is not sorted depending on the selected language. If you
start gramps in english or another language then try to generate a
narrative web report in another language, the navigation alphabet is
incorrect. This is true for the place list and the person list.
** OSM forward all http resquest to https.
** When we are on a mobile phone or a small device, we suppress the
navigation tab. In place, we have a new icon on the upper left which is
used to show the dropdown menu.
** For Home, Introduction and Contact, If we have an image and this image
contains regions, show the regions. We can go directly to the person page
associated to this region. If we click on the image, we go directly to the
associated media page. This will be true only if we selected    “include
images and media objects” and “create and only use thumbnail” is unselected
** The first line identifying a family will be more legible.
** The link is not useful in the parents and pedigree section for the
 current person.
** Adapt some css files.
** sort the place references either by date or by name.
** Add extra page to narrativeweb. extrapage can now point to joomla,
drupal, …
** add enclosed by and encloses (place)
** Add compact Ancestry trees using Buchheim/Walker algorithm  This
enhancement adds a new ‘compact’ field to the Narrated Web Report. A
compact tree is one that is not a simple binary layout but uses the
algorithm of Buchheim/Walker to create a layout that is sensible but also
compact. Creating a compact layout is slower than a simple binary tree but
the results are significantly improved and do not leave large areas of
whitespace where there are no nodes to be shown.
** Make relationships optional in narrative web
** Option to have Places and Sources pages
** Narrative should come first right after the name, gender and parent
information in individual page
** References section at the bottom of each place with people related to
this place have birth year behind it in parenthesis
** Sort “Surname” web page by given name and birth date.
** Surname list doesn’t use default name format
** Display Lat/Lon optionally on places list page
* Update the uimanager to avoid deprecated Gtk warnings (changes things not
visible to the user):
** Add config option to use Toolbar Text
** Fix duplicated accelerators in charts <ctrl>P for print is now
<ctrl><shift>P
*Geography:
** fix pins very big when related to 2 places
** add color for custom places name
* fan charts view: Add option to show the Gramps ID in parenthesis in the
fan chart.
* Gramps ‘Views’ are now named in the window header
* Allow Home person to be set in Relationship and Charts/Pedigree view
* Filter Rule editor, save pane position
* Person Sidebarfilter:
** Fix Person Sidebarfilter when using ‘Event’ and Reg expressions
** In personsidebarfilter, search on each part of name Instead of requiring
that the entire search string matches a single one of the Person’s names,
the function will require that each word in the search string matches any
 of the Person’s name fields.
* filters rule has attribute: Check all values of an attribute type and not
only the first one.
* filters rule have children person filter: Check all families of a person
for children and not only the first
* Graph reports:
** Better typography in graph reports Replace hyphen with en-dash.
** enable Graphviz node port selection, optionable. This enables the
headport and tailport attributes for all edges in the Graphviz file. The
default (off) value makes the arrows between persons and/or family nodes
attach their ends to the respective node at any position. When this
 option is selected, the position facing the node on the other side of the
arrow is always chosen.
** Fix graphs on Windows for font selection not working
* relationship graph:
** Allow an option to not use hexagons for those of unknown gender
** Father and Mother are connected by an invisible line.
** Add an option to omit “irrelevant” family nodes
* Family lines graph: Replace rounded corners checkbox by dropdown It now
allows rounded corners to be set more explicitly for different genders
(None/Male/Female/Both).
* Hourglass graph:
** Add Ahnentafel option on hourglass
** Do not use hyphen for living persons in hourglass graph
** edit link: Add a mailto choice to Internet Address
** New Clean input data tool: New tool to suppress leading and trailing
spaces. This tool is looking for people and place names with leading or/and
trailing spaces. For each entry which contains leading or trailing spaces,
a row is added in a table. You can see where the spaces are for each row as
the name is underlined. If you double click on the row, you can edit the
Place or the Person.
* CSV import: Add occupation and residence events and attributes in the
import User can now add the following columns in the csv import file for a
person:
** Occupation description
** Occupation date
** Occupation place
** Occupation source
** Residence date
** Residence place
** Residence source
** Attribute type
** Attribute value
** Attribute source: the corresponding events will be added to the person.
The user can put several lines for the same person if two occupations are
known, one event    per line will be created.
** Fix CSV import for multiple place enclosed by on multiple imports
* Pro-Gen import: expanded functionality and fixed minor bugs.
* Enhance layout of the preferences dialog
* Webcalender:
** better help msg for the after year option.
** Include only events after year
** add death event

GalleryTab media order

** Fixed the birthday report so the dead icon is able to be set within the

looked up by city, and country from the Map Services lookup for Google and
Open Street Map.
