The new MySQL version supports multiple gedcoms. Both versions come with improved support for character sets and an improved descendancy chart.

Since I first opened the source for phpGedView people have been asking for a mysql version. Well, now it is here. Both versions work much the same except that on very large gedcoms (e.g. over 5MB large) you should use this Mysql version for improved performance.

This release fixes several bugs, improves performance, especially with php 4.3, and adds new search functionality.

The latest version of PhpGedView improves support for multiple marriages.

It also attempts to read the users language settings from the browser and switch to the appropriate language.

Look for a MySQL version to come out soon.

As of version 1.03, phpGedView no longer requires that register globals be on in order to work.

Other improvements, include better handling of multimedia links, and improved gedcom support especially in the family view.

PHPGedView v1.0 is now available for download. It includes several new features including a timeline chart where you can place up to 4 individuals on a timeline and track how their lives overlapped.

With this release, phpGedView moves from Alpha to Beta stage. Added functionality includes support for images and other multimedia files. This release also adds a place hierarchy browser and improves performance on large gedcom files through the automatic creation of index files.

Testing has been done on a linux machine running php 4.0.6 and a windows machine running php 4.2.0. The largest GEDCOM file tested was 2.11 MB with approxamately 6500 individuals.
