GeneWeb 4.04

Here have been the changes since the previous version:

GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd)

• [18 Dec 01] Fixed bug: in a read-only device (e.g. a CD-ROM), the relationship computing did not work if it has not been initialized before.
• [17 Dec 01] In cousins displaying, added button to include the spouses (code written by Ludovic Ledieu).
• [01 Dec 01] Fixed problem in case of changing a person's name, if the new name entered in conflict with somebody elsés (same "keys"). The proposed link "click here to try again" with the first free number could fail with some browsers (technical: the request could be truncated by the browser if too long). This have been changed into a button "create" which always works (the same change had been done for family forms, for the same problem, some time ago).
• [16 Nov 01] Changed the term "switch" into "invert" (English is not my native language, I made a miskake when translating it).
• [14 Nov 01] Suppressed the <nobr> tag used in several displayings, because it is not html standard. Its effect was to ask not to cut too large lines.
• [08 Nov 01] In database forum, display 100 headers and a link to the previous messages, instead of all headers.
• [20 Oct 01] In the updates forms, the order "year/month/day" in the dates now depends on the language. This is indicated in a new entry in the lexicon, "dates in form" which is "ddmmyy" for French (day/month/year) and "yymmdd" for English (year/month/day). Can be changed for the other languages.
• [11 Oct 01] Improved persons merging (dates and places are merged faster).
• [03 Oct 01] Fixed bug in displaying by places/surnames: the cutting of the places by "levels" worked bad.
• [28 Sep 01] Macros now also apply in places displaying.
• [16 Sep 01] Added variable "max_images_size" in base configuration files (base.gwf) to limit the size of the images which can be sent by the "send image" link.
• [13 Sep 01] Fixed bug: dates added in "family" forms were not completely checked ("31th of September" was accepted, for example).

Setup program (gwsetup)

• [21 Nov 01] Fixed bug under Windows: the selection of the root directory (e.g. "C:\") did not work.

GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged)

• [06 Dec 01] Fixed bug (also in the program "gwu"): the option -s supposed to select surnames did not work: the whole database was selected.
• [09 Nov 01] If a person has a "first name alias" containing the "first name", he is exported in the gedcom as the first name alias in the first name field with the real first name part enclosed with double quotes.

GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu)

• [19 Dec 01] Rewritten option -ad (somebody's ancestors' descendants): now much faster and using much less memory.

GeneWeb databases Transfer Program (gwtp)

• [27 Oct 01] In the executable "ged2gwb" is installed in the directory corresponding to the option -etc of gwtp, the users can upload gedcom files to update their databases.
• [06 Sep 01] Separated the option -tmp into -log (for the log), -etc (for passwd, default.gwf and lang directories) and -tmp (the rest). Code written by Christian Perrier.

Documentation

• [31 Oct 01] Added a paragraph in the FAQ about why the sources in gedcom are sometimes not taken into account.
