GeneWeb 4.06

Version released: 9 Mar 2002.

Here have been the changes since the previous version:

Installation

[08 Mar 02] In MacOS X version, there is no more need to do extra manipulation after installation to make the command GeneWeb work.
[06 Mar 02] In Windows version with installer, it is now possible to specify the database directory.

GeneWeb server or CGI (gwd)

[06 Mar 02] Fixed problem of the text "marriages and children" in Spanish, "casamientos e hijos", which were incorrectly displayed "casamientos y hijos". Technical: the solution uses a system of "elision" (already needed by Catalan) which had to be a little bit modified.
[05 Mar 02] Fixed bug, in personal page: the circle before children was supposed to be empty for the non married ones and full for the married ones, but it did not work in all browser. Technical: it was due to the <li> item type, wrongly written "disk" instead of "disc".
[05 Mar 02] Fixed bug: the navigation supposed to avoid the "reloading" of pages (proposed in bottom of welcome pages) did not work immediately after updates.
[04 Mar 02] In CGI mode, in welcome page, the wizard and friend entries are now accessible by links, like in server mode, instead of an input form. Moreover, if cookies are accepted, when navigating, there is no visible "token" in the URL. If cookies are not accepted, the behaviour does not change.
[03 Mar 02] Fixed bug (introduced in version 4.05): in CGI mode, the images (logo, background, flags) did not appear, because they were incompletely sent (a solution to turn around this bug is to use the option -images_url). There is the same problem with the "DOC" link, the same fix works also for it, but there is no way to turn around it in version 4.05.
[02 Mar 02] Fixed bug: when clicking on somebody's link, could sometimes access the wrong person, typically when the two persons had the same combination "firstname surname" cut differently, e.g. François-Victor Hugo (first name "François-Victor", surname "Hugo") and François Victor-Hugo (first name "François", surname "Victor-Hugo").

Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb)

[08 Mar 02] Fixed bug: the import added 5 empty lines at end of each person's notes.

Setup program (gwsetup)

[06 Mar 02] Added "cancel" buttons close to some "ok" buttons.
[05 Mar 02] Updated German in templates (Thomas Omerzu).
