[Gramps-devel] GRAMPS 0.99 (1.0 release candidate) available for download

[Don A. <dal...@us...>]

We have released the release candidate for GRAMPS 1.0 (named GRAMPS
0.99). The purpose of this release is to shake out any minor bugs that
we haven't yet found. We expect the 1.0 release to follow within a week
or so.

Please try this release and help us track down any remaining bugs. The
release can be downloaded at http://sf.net/projects/gramps

A source tarball and RPM packages for both RedHat/Fedora and Mandrake
are available for download. Debian packages should be available shortly.

This release adds a dependency on gnome-python2-gnomevfs.

To resolve dependencies for Mandrake, see instructions at
http://gramps.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/SystemRequirements

The package sizes have increased due to added manual translations.
