GeneWeb version 3.08 -------------------- * Setup program (gwsetup) - [21 Sep 00] Fixed bug: in recovery from an old version, if the destination data base already existed (created e.g. by a previous attempt), it could not overwrite the data base, even it pretended it was going to do it. Same problem (fixed also) for the creation of a data base from a GeneWeb source file. * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) - [25 Sep 00] When wizard or friend access failure, now display the page without the priviliged access (instead of just saying "access failure"). - [21 Sep 00] When modifying a person, forbid now to let his/her first name or surname as just "?", because it can cause problems of linking these persons after a data base cleanup. - [18 Sep 00] In family updating, when creating an unknown person (i.e. having "?" as firstname or surname), does not set the "source" field any more for this person. - [18 Sep 00] Fixed bugs: 1/ while merging persons, automatic merging sometimes used to loose the death date 2/ while merging families the comment of the 2nd family used to be ignored. - [15 Sep 00] In ascendants long display, added notes for siblings if any (they were missing). - [14 Sep 00] In update page, if the person's sex is unknown, the selection "add family" proposes now two case according to the sex. - [13 Sep 00] Fixed bug: problem of age at death in descendants page, the same bug than for personal pages fixed 16 Aug (version 3.07). - [05 Sep 00] Fixed bug: in ancestors surnames list, under Lynx (browser for alphanumeric terminals), sometimes displayed "incorrect request" when clicking on certain surnames. - [04 Sep 00] Fixed bug: in descendants with encoding, for children married several times, could sometimes display the father's name instead of a repetition of the child's name. - [01 Sep 00] Fixed short dates: "between 1935 and 1938" is displayed now "1935/1938" instead of "ca 1935/1938". - [30 Aug 00] Fixed bug: sometimes accepted two persons with the same key. E.g.: after having defined "Charles de Gaulle" and "Charles Degaulle", when changing the second person' s surname into "de Gaulle", did not display a name conflict error. - [28 Aug 00] Added option "-wjf" (= wizard just friend) to permanently prevent all wizards in all data bases to make changes. - [26 Aug 00] In descendants page, added male line and female line. - [25 Aug 00] In history, added the ability to see the changes only by a given wizard. - [24 Aug 00] Fixed bug: when entering Web addresses (http://...) in notes, it generates enclosing HTML code to make links, but sometimes it did it incorrectly. For example the image insertion ? did not work because the program changed it into > * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) and GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) - [31 Aug 00] All surnames aliases (instead of only the first one) are now saved and restored. * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) - [02 Oct 00] Fixed bug: did not treat begin or end dates in titles when defined as texts. - [28 Sep 00] Strip now possible tabulations found in the GEDCOM. - [26 Aug 00] If -epn (which is default) and -lf, tries now to lowercase the public names. * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) - [06 Sep 00] Fixed bug: newlines in notes were incorrectly saved, resulting that when restoring the data base (ged2gwb), the lines were catenated without any spaces. * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) and GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu) - [02 Oct 00] Fixed problem: when selecting somebody's ancestors, links to relations (godparents, for example) were included, even if these relation were not selected. - [29 Aug 00] Now, when option "-d" (descendants of) is applied, the spouses' parents are included, except if the option "-nsp" is given. * Geneweb compiler (gwc) - [25 Sep 00] Replaced option "-shift #" by "-sep": the file following the "-sep" option is treated as separated from the rest, i.e. the numbers in persons keys are automatically shifted if in conflict with the persons of the previous files. No more need to find a "shift" number which avoids the conflicts. Simplifies the data bases merging. - [27 Aug 00] Fixed bug: date e.g. "between 1300 and 1350 Julian" where printed by gwu as 1300..1350J but gwc expected 1300J..1350 and resulted in a syntax error. * GeneWeb data bases Transfer Program (gwtp) - [08 Sep 00] Added small documentation (a README file) for GeneWeb Web site administrators. * Base configuration files (base.gwf) - [29 Sep 00] The change, (version 3.06, 17 Jun 00) about can_send_image supposed to be yes by default, did not work: fixed. - [20 Sep 00] Deleted the change version 3.07 (on date: 28 Jul 00) about the variable body_prop. Return to the previous behavior: defined as empty or not defined => the default GeneWeb background is used. This change was necessary 1/ by consistency with other variables 2/ to make gwtp work correctly. * Documentation: - [25..27 Sep 00] Changed in the chapters "merge.htm" and "divide.htm" the explanations about the separation of input files to avoid conflicts, using now the new option "-sep" of "gwc" instead of "-shift" (see change in gwc above, 25 Sep 00). - [09..25 Sep 00] Updated German version (Falko Trojahn). - [24 Sep 00] Added a chapter (gwformat.htm) about the GeneWeb source file format (files ending with .gw). Written by Yann Corno. English version only. - [20 Sep 00] Added another page (gwsetup.htm) to explain how to use gwsetup. Added two paragraphs in a FAQ, in the beginning of the section "it does not work at all under windows", explaining not to delete the gwsetup window! - [07 Sep 00] In the directions for use, the entry "How to start with GeneWeb" now points to a page which explains that you can start with the program gwsetup instead of typing interactive commands, which seemed not to be clear. Changed diruse.htm (link to "start"), added initial.htm, added small paragraph in start.htm. Added also a paragraph in recover.htm, merge.htm and maint.htm. - [03 Sep 00] In FAQ, changed the text about the question of missing relationship links. - Added entries in the FAQ about: * [27 Sep 00] the message "probable loop in the data base", * [08 Sep 00] the research by place/surname, where only one person by surname is displayed, * [03 Sep 00] the fact that sometimes, under Windows, it does not work at all, * [01 Sep 00] the fact that information in forms sometimes disappear, * [01 Sep 00] adding more information in family forms, * [31 Aug 00] short dates displaying conventions, * [31 Aug 00] repetition of Sosa numbers for ancestors lists, * [29 Aug 00] advanced request, * [21 Aug 00] people having "?" (question mark) as first name and/or surname. GeneWeb version 3.07 -------------------- * New feature - [18 Aug 00] Added a program "gwtp" (CGI) to upload and download GeneWeb data bases in a site which accomodate some (undocumented program for the moment). * Distribution - [18 Aug 00] Create files named README.htm and LISEZMOI.htm instead of README.txt and LISEZMOI.txt. * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) - [16 Aug 00] In personal pages, does not display the age at death if less than one year and undefined month/day (it displayed "age at death: birth"!) - [14 Aug 00] In personal pages, sources are now printed, even for non friends, non wizards. - [11 Aug 00] In first names by alphabetic order for a given surname, now always specify the parents' names. - [09 Aug 00] Fixed a problem of missing space after "married to" in descendants page (did not happen with all browsers). - [30 Jul 00] Added an option "-conn_tmout" (available only under Unix) to specify a connection timeout for one request. If the request has not terminated after this time, it is killed. Default is 120s. - [30 Jul 00] Contribution from Ludovic Ledieu: changed displaying of ancestors trees: 1/ clicks on persons fall on their personal pages (no more for navigation) 2/ vertical bars are clickable to navigate 3/ no more bars for missing ancestors. - [28 Jul 00] Fixed problem in images displaying in personal pages and in trees. Sometimes the image was "broken", its URL being incorrect. Details: * This happened in case of local image (field "image" filled in "person" form), and when the type was not among the recognized types (i.e. presently "gif", "jpeg", "png"): in these conditions, the URL for the image was incorrect. * The fix is not completely satisfactory: this kind of image is now no more displayed at all. Indeed, "gwd" need to know its type to answer the browser request (the HTTP answer must contain the image type). * A solution if there are images with other types than the ones that "gwd" recognizes, is to use the variable "images_path" in the data base configuration file (base.gwf). See the changes version 3.05 or the distributed example file "gw/etc/a.gwf". - [26 Jul 00] Added small icon in personal page to indicate sex (Louis Granboulan's idea) - [19 Jul 00] Fixed bug in places/surnames displaying: some identical places and surnames could be displayed several times. * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) - [09 Aug 00] Added a consistency check: in some gedcoms (from bad genealogy softwares), it happens that a person can be noticed as "spouse" (FAMS) of a family without being however neither husband (HUSB) nor wife (WIFE) in that family. In the GeneWeb data base, the symptom was that the pages concerning this "spouse" (particularly his/her personal page) stopped in the middle. Now the converter displays an error message and fixes this inconsistency in the created data base. - [28 Jul 00] Fixed bug: when a person was married several times, the order of families were sometimes incorrect. Actually, the order wrongly followed the order where the families appeared in the gedcom, not the order indicated in the individual record. - [26 Jul 00] Added a lock to the data base before writing it (to avoid multiple accesses which risk to damage it). * Base configuration files (base.gwf) - [28 Jul 00] Changed the behavior of the variable "body_prop" making the difference between 1/ not defined and 2/ defined as an empty string. In the first case, the default is assumed (i.e. GeneWeb's default background), in the second case, nothing is added in the tag. This implies changes in programs "gwd" and "gwsetup". * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt) - [21 Jul 00] In lexicon: added the terms "Sosa"; changed "list" into "list/list (ancestors)" (specially for better translation in Swedish) - [18 Jul 00] Fixed Esperanto version (Thomas Ailleret). * Documentation: - [16 Aug 00] Added an entry in the FAQ about the displaying of ages of persons of more than 80 years old. - [21 Jul 00] Documentation updates in Swedish (Lars Gustavsson) GeneWeb version 3.06 -------------------- * Languages - [20 Jun 00] Added Latvian (Janeks Kamerovskis). * Setup program (gwsetup) - [20 Jun 00] Added Latvian version (Janeks Kamerovskis). * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) - [04 Jul 00] Put all statitics in a different page (accessible only to "wizards" and "friends"). - [04 Jul 00] Added the computation of the persons who lived the longest. - [27 Jun 00] When typing a name holding a number, searches also with its equivalent in Roman digits (e.g. it is possible to type "Louis 15" to find "Louis XV"). - [26 Jun 00] Fixed bug: the images in ".png" format were not accepted. - [23 Jun 00] Added descendants displaying with d'Aboville's encoding. - [21 Jun 00] Added displaying of oldest perhaps still alive (from welcome page). - [20 Jun 00] Changed displaying of marriage witnesses in personal pages. - [20 Jun 00] Together with the link to the welcome page (up arrow), added a link to the referer page (left arrow). - [19 Jun 00] Changed page design of relationship computing. - [19 Jun 00] In latest marriages, display now only true marriages (i.e. not "relations" nor "engagements"). - [18 Jun 00] Added a link in bottom of welcome pages, useful if you have got a browser which does not automatically update the modified pages (forcing you to do "reload current document"). When clicking on it, you browse without this problem: no more need to reload the pages, they are displayed with their changes if there are some. - [18 Jun 00] Fixed little problem: the (new) fast merges of persons did not appear in the history. - [17 Jun 00] In update family forms, added a button close to the "family source": when selected, the "family source" text is automatically put (as default value) in "family source" fields in future other family updates. It avoids to have to copy it each time when it is always the same one. - [16 Jun 00] Added feature: in relationship computing, when option "shortest path" is selected, it is displayed together with a link to see the next shortest path. - [13 Jun 00] Deleted this stupid "" in welcome pages and in other pages, because it makes some browsers generate two requests and we see the page blinking. Moreover, it has no sense (even if it is standard), since the HTTP header already contains that. * General - [26 Jun 00] In programs ged2gwb (gedcom import), gwb2ged (gedcom export), consang (consanguinity initialization) and gwu (uncompiler), added an error message in case of several input files are given (these programs can treat only one file at a time). * GeneWeb compiler (gwc) and uncompiler (gwu) - [29 Jun 00] Fixed problem: persons with "relations" (e.g. adoptive children) where not saved (gwu) nor restored (gwc) when isolated (i.e. without parents nor marriages). * Base configuration files (base.gwf) - [17 Jun 00] By default now, the "can_send_image" is "yes", meaning that if you specify nothing, the "send image" is proposed in update pages. To unset it, you must now specify: can_send_image=no * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt) - [20 Jun 00] Added entry !language for the translation of languages names in all languages. Used as labels associated with the flags of welcome pages. - [14 Jun 00] Completed and fixed Portuguese version (Jose Paulo Moitinho de Almeida). - [14 Jun 00] Completed Dutch lexicon (Bernard Ceurstemont). * Documentation - [26 Jun 00] In update.htm, added that images in png format are accepted, like "gif" and "jpeg" ones. GeneWeb version 3.05 -------------------- * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) - [03 Jun 00] In history, added an input field before the ">>" to be able to specify a number of entries to be displayed in the next page. - [02 Jun 00] Merge of individuals faster now: can automatically merge families and individuals when they are identical in both ancestors trees. - [23 May 00] In "divorce" section, added case "separated". - [18 May 00] In displaying by places/surnames, baptism places are added with birth places and burial with death. - [17 May 00] Added an "Ok" button after the password input area in CGI mode. - [14 May 00] Added case "engaged" in "family" forms. - [14 May 00] Added option "-images_url" to give an URL to GeneWeb images (flags, logo, background, up arrow). Can be useful e.g. in cgi mode if the associated Web server answers faster than gwd. By default, the GeneWeb images are sent by gwd. - [14 May 00] Fixed bug in update forms (person or family): in case of name conflict (name already used by another person), when clicking on the "return" button, the fields containing quotes ("), less (<) or greater (>) characters were truncated. - [12 May 00] In short dates (just year), if no death date, burial date is now displayed. And in pages displaying the ages at death, take now the baptism date if no birth date and the burial date if no death date to compute this age (then prefixed by "possibly") - [10 May 00] In personal pages, the links "ancestors" and "descendants" are proposed from 2 generations (instead of 3, before). - [06..11 May 00] Added surname list from "ancestors" page. - [02 May 00] [technical] In Unix version now, each request gets the user id and the group id of the owner of the data base directory (base.gwb). No error if cannot change to these ids. Deleted the gwd options -setuid and -setgid now unuseful. - [30 Apr 00] Fixed little problem with displaying by places for the ones containing several (at least two) indications between parentheses. * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) and GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) - [25 May 00] Now save and restore the marriage witnesses (that was missing). * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) - [04 Jun 00] Fixed bug: did not save the information "not married" when no date specified. (Note: in GeneWeb, since there is no GEDCOM standard for that, the information "not married" is written as "unmarried" in the marriage place.) * Base configuration files (base.gwf) - [03 Jun 00] Added variable "propose_add_family" (default yes). If yes, propose to wizards a "add family" link in welcome page. If no, not proposed. - [25 May 00] Added variable "images_path" to specify a path to access the images defined in the "image" field (i.e *not* added by "send image"). Applies only for images not found in the image/base directory. This variable, when set, could typically start with http://... - [08 May 00] (detail) The possible trailing spaces or control-m are now stripped (allowing to move a base.gwf file from Windows to Unix without needing to remove them). * Counters (cnt/base.txt) - [28 May 00] Now, a count of "wizard", "friend" and normal accesses are added in this file, for statistics. * Documentation - [31 May 00, 06 Jun 00] Added paragraph explaining how to install GeneWeb in server mode under Windows NT (Falko Trojahn). English and German versions by Falko Trojahn. Swedish translation by Lars Gustavsson. French translation by Daniel de Rauglaudre. - [25 May 00] Updated German documentation (Falko Trojahn). - [06 May 00] Updated Swedish documentation (Lars Gustavsson). - [04 May 00] Added one item in FAQ about a possible problem in CGI mode. GeneWeb version 3.04 -------------------- * Languages - [06 Apr 00] Added Afrikaans (Louis Kruger). * Setup program (gwsetup) - [09 Apr 00] Fixed some bugs in Linux rpm package causing gwsetup to fail and the browser to answer "no output". * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) - [29 Apr 00] Fixed bug in "descendants", "families with encoding": the marriage dates of grandchildren could sometime be erroneously the ones of the children. - [16 Apr 00] Fixed problem: the kde browser (Konqueror) seems not to handle the password protocol. Went around the problem by treating it as it were in CGI mode, where the password has to be given in a form. - [14 Apr 00] Fixed bug: could no more access a person by his key after having changed his name, in the case when the initial first name or surname was a question marks *and* the changed name had nevertheless the same signature. Example: before: first name = "John Smith"; surname = "?" after: first name = "John"; surname = "Smith" When doing this fix, there were no more way to access "John Smith" by his key, particularly in forms (which is rather annoying). - [13 Apr 00] Added nice display of language code when mouse over the flag (Emmanuelle Visseaux's code). - [11 Aor 00] Added optional displaying of images in descendants by tree and in relationship trees. - [03 Apr 00] In ancestor page, added horizontal displaying. - [02 Apr 00] In surname page, added ability to click on a branch number to display only that one. - [27 Mar, 05 Apr 00] Added displaying of places/surnames from welcome page. * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) - [11 Apr 00] Fixed bug+problem of adoptive children when they are also recorded as normal children of their adoptive parents in the GEDCOM (extracted from a genealogical software having a different logic than GeneWeb about this subject). The "bug" made the adoptive links not appear, the "problem" made the parents family not appear. - [31 Mar 00] Do not enter any more GIVN as public name if equal to first name nor SURN as surname alias if equal to surname. * GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu) and GeneWeb to gedcom (gwb2ged) - [04 Apr 00] Added option "-nn" not to save data base notes. * Base configuration files (base.gwf) - [31 Mar 00] Added variable "places_inverted" (default no) to specify that places are ordered more-general-less-general (e.g. "USA, New York" instead of "New York, USA"). Important to specify correcty this variable for the new displaying by places/surnames. * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) - [26 Apr 00] Changed "death age" into "age at death", "maybe" into "possibly" and "degre" into "degree". * Documentation - [20 Apr 00] Changed the title of the chapter "How to install GeneWeb as a server" into "How to install GeneWeb as a server or CGI" (English and French versions). - [20 Apr 00] Changed the chapter "How to customize the welcome page". The title becomes "How to customize the welcome page and the other pages" A section "Customization of all the pages" has been inserted at end (English and French versions). - [20 Apr 00] Added the French version of the chapter "Keeping data divided inside a database". GeneWeb version 3.03 -------------------- * Languages - [23 Jan 00] Added Russian (Konstantin Abakumov). * Setup program (gwsetup) - [07 Feb 00] Changed some Swedish files (Lars Gustavsson). - [27 Jan 00; 03 Feb 00] Added a comment in the introduction text telling not to delete the window! (English, French, Swedish versions) * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) - [17 Mar 00] In CGI mode, the passwords are no more visible in the URL. Technical explanation: it works with a generated random login password with a timeout of 1800 seconds (half an hour), i.e. if you do nothing during half an hour, the login password is unactivated; this limit time is changeable by a new gwd option "-login_tmout". Note: this system does not use cookies. - [12 Mar 00] In ancestors page, added male and female lines. - [11 Mar 00] In personal pages, the images defined by external URL (i.e. accomodated in other Web sites) are now reduced as are local images. - [11 Mar 00] The information "relationship to" is no more transformed into "married to" when "non-friend" browsing (it was supposed to protect private life, but seems to have more drawbacks than advantages). - [09..10 Mar 00] In update family form, added ability to specify birth place, death date and death place for parents and children. - [08 Mar 00] Added latest marriages (accessible only by "wizards" and "friends") - [08 Mar 00] Added optional displaying of images in ancestors displaying by tree. - [05 Mar 00] In birthday anniversaries for close parents (accessible in "cousin" page for "friends" and "wizards"), the links give now the relationship trees, instead of the persons. - [04 Mar 00] In person and family forms, added input area to specify a number greater than 1 of titles and children to insert. - [24 Feb 00] In latest births and deaths pages, display monthes. - [02 Feb 00] In personal pages, relations are now displayed before notes. - [20 Jan 00] When sorting the children, use now the baptism date when there is no birth date. - [18 Jan 00] Fixed bug: when selecting no data base, the default page asks for a data base name, but in CGI mode when entering a data base, it did not work (incorrect URL). * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) - [19 Feb 00] Added option "-uin" (untreated in notes) asking to put unused Gedcom tags (of indiduals) in notes. * Base configuration files (base.gwf) - [24 Feb 00] Added variable "latest_event" to give the number of latest events (births, deaths) displayed (default: 20). - [25 Jan 00] Added variable "public_if_titles": if "yes", consider persons having nobility titles as public ("public" means that their private data is displayed even if their dates is less than 150 years). Warning: the default of this variable is "no": it is a behavior change in GeneWeb, relatively to previous versions (but don't worry: with this change, private data is better protected). * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt) - [10 Mar 00] Changed some Finnish translations (Antti Alfthan) - [14 Feb 00] Changed the term "place" of nobility titles into "estate" ("domaine" in French), to avoid the confusion with the "place" of "birth", "death", and so on. Changed also "all the places" into "all the estates". - [01 Feb 00] Fixed some Swedish translations (Lars Gustavsson) - [26 Jan 00] Fixed several Portuguese translations (Jose Paulo Moitinho de Almeida). - [21 Jan 00] Changed the English displaying of dates into "day month year", the displaying "month day year" being specific to the United States and not used in other English speaking countries. American users are invited to change the lexicon line for (date) if they want an American display. * Documentation - [17..25 Feb 00] Added a new chapter "Keeping data divided inside a database" (written by Lars Gustavsson: thanks, Lars!). Only English and Swedish versions for the moment. - [11 Feb 00] Changed some Swedish files (Lars Gustavsson). - [03 Feb 00] In chapter "modifications" (update.htm), section 1, added a footnote to explain that it is better to use western Europe languages encoding (iso-8859-1) for a person's "key". GeneWeb version 3.02 -------------------- * Setup program (gwsetup) - [Dec 13, 99] Fixed another problem of images displaying with still another browser (see version 3.01). * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) - [Jan 12, 00] In adding or modifying family, added a specific field to indicate the source for (possibly) created persons. - [Jan 3, 00] Speeded up the displaying of anniversaries (noticeable on large data bases). - [Jan 10, 00] Forbid "send image" when the person's first name or surname is "?" ("dead end" person). - [Jan 9, 00] Added birthday anniversaries for close parents (accessible in "cousin" page when wizard or friend). - [Dec 26, 99] Added the ability to add a file "foo.hed" for the base "foo", in lang directory: the file is inserted in the header of all pages (useful e.g. to add style sheets). - [Dec 21, 99] Changed display of relationship by shortest path. - [Dec 19, 99] Added option -wd to specify a (writable) directory for socket communication (required for Windows) and data bases access count. Useful to use GeneWeb and data bases in a CDrom. - [Dec 17, 99] Added in headers of all generated pages to be compatible with all browsers. - [Dec 16, 99] Fixed bug: the ";opt=no_index" did not work correctly when the URL hold special characters. - [Dec 15, 99] Added things to be able to translate correctly the noun complement ("x of y") in Finnish which sucks in the present version. - [Dec 14, 99] In relationship links with option "by marriage" does not display the consanguinity (0%) any more if all relations found are by marriage. - [Dec 14, 99] Fixed bug: in relationship links, with option "relationship by marriage", when several branches, sometimes did not display the persons (sometimes only the spouses, sometimes branches were missing). - [Dec 13, 99] In tree displays with several branches, add the spouse(s) of the top person(s). - [Dec 13, 99] Fixed bug: when merging two persons, the godchildren, possible children, foster children (and so on...) of the second person were not transferred to the first person (problem only with "children" relations, not "parents"). - [Dec 10, 99] In tree displays with several branches, the option "add spouses" did not work.

GeneWeb version 3.00 -------------------- New look for GeneWeb! Icon, default background, new structures of pages. Thanks to Emmanuelle Visseaux. * Languages - [Oct 26, 99] Added Icelandic (Ólafur Sigurgeirsson). * Setup program (gwsetup) - [Oct 28, 99] Added option -p to select another port number (defaut: 2316). * GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd) - [Oct 24, 99] In display by surname, added a specific indication for the branches whose ancestor has parents with a different surname, in order to differentiate them with the branches whose ancestor has no parents. - [Oct 21, 99] Added message "or Sosa number relative to x" when displaying a relationship computing form if navigating with x as Sosa reference. - [Oct 21, 99] Limit local images height to some maximum number of pixels (currently 240).

"friend") password was defined. - [Oct 20, 99] Added option -a to give a specific IP address for the service (must be compatible with the computer). - [Oct 19, 99] Added treatment of png images files. - [Oct 10, 99] In update form, when name conflict, added the birth and death date in the list of persons having the same name. - [Oct 8, 99] Added forum. - [Oct 5, 99] Fixed links problems in some pages from the DOC link (some problems found in the Swedish version). - [Oct 5, 99] Added displaying of number of persons in ascends (short display). - [Oct 4, 99] Fixed displaying bug in update history (spot displayed due to incorrect HTML). - [Oct 3, 99] Added week day in "calendars" page. * GeneWeb compiler (gwc) - [Oct 26, 99] Added option -f, like in ged2gwb: by default now, if the data base already exists, the program exits in error. If option -f is used the old data base is overwritten. * GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu) - [Oct 24, 99] Added option -s to select all persons having a given surname (option usable several times). Added associated option -nsp, not to select the spouses' parents (what is done by default). These options has been added in command gwb2ged too. - [Oct 19, 99] Fixed bug: notes sometimes disappeared for godparents and co. - [Oct 10, 99] Fixed bug: dates represented as text where not extracted in the output file but on standard output. * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) - [Oct 13, 99] Added option "-fne" (for "first names enclosed"): it is possible to give two characters telling that the usual first name parts is between those characters: e.g. if they are of the form: Bernard Jean "Philippe" use -fne '""' and if they are: Bernard Jean (Philippe) use -fne '()', and so on. * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) - [Oct 24, 99] Added option -s to select all persons having a given surname (option usable several times). Added associated option -nsp, not to select the spouses' parents (what is done by default). These options has been added in command gwu too. - [Oct 5, 99] Changed the way the lines of notes are cut (by tag CONC). The standard GEDCOM 5.5 tells that too long lines must be cut *inside* words and not *between* words, to avoid starting or trailing spaces in CONC lines. Gwb2ged did not do that: it is fixed. To remain compatible with old GEDCOMS generated by GeneWeb, the ged2gwb program is not changed: in CONC lines, the possible starting space remains included in the note (what does not respect the standard, shame on me). * Base configuration files (base.gwf) - [Oct 30, 99] Deleted variable "enclosing_tag" defined in version 2.05 on July 18, 99. Reason: complicated the code => too many risks of operation bugs. Sorry for the ones who used it. - [Oct 29, 99] Added a variable "propose_titles" (yes by default).

Should not make any differences while browsing. However, as it is a major internal change in the program, problems may appear (mainly in displaying or in access by name, first name, surname, title...): please report if any problem. * Setup program - [Jul 18, 99] Added in the menu "data base parameters" the ability to display the characters in the pages 1/ in bold, 2/ in italic, 3/ in smaller or bigger size (using the new key 'enclosing_tag': see below section "base configuration files").

Idem in relationship computing. - [Jul 17, 99] Fixed bug: could not access person after having changed his name, in some circumstances, e.g. changing the surname "L'epine" (in two words) into "Lepine" (one word). - [Jul 16, 99] Added a "back" button in case of update error (useful for browsers which loose the contents of the forms when navigating). - [Jul 15..29, 99] In relationship computing, added a long display, the ability to see the spouses in branches displaying, and the ability to cancel GeneWeb links. - [Jul 15, 99] Added system of grammar declinations (required by German, Esperanto, Czech).

Added option "-charset" which can be followed by "ANSEL", "ASCII" or "MSDOS". Removed options "-ansel" and "-no_ansel". Warning: in GEDCOM files, the charset "IBMPC" (which is not standard GEDCOM 5.5) is by default interpreted as "ASCII", *not* "MSDOS"; to override this default, the option "-charset MSDOS" will have to be used. * Consanguinity computing (consang) - [Jun 28, 99] Optimized code: it is twice faster (on average) now. * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) - [Jun 30, 99] Translations added in Italian (Daniel Hirshkoff). - [Jun 18..Jul 1, 99] Translations improvements in Danish (Hans Albeck). * Documentation - [Jun 30, 99] Updated Dutch documentation (Joris Esch). GeneWeb version 2.03 -------------------- * Setup program - [Jun 7, 99] Added a Spanish version (Luis Castro Guzman). - [Jun 1, 99] The location to open is now always "http://localhost:2316/", independant from the selected language (no more need to end the location with "fr" or "en"): the page is displayed in the selected language. - [May 15, 99] Added deletion of ".gwo" file after then "gwc" operation. - [May 9, 99] Added predefined palette combination in "data base parameters"; changed presentation of all page. - [May 9, 99] Added system to forbid non local accesses. - [May 7, 99] Fixed bug: recovering data base from old version of GeneWeb did not work when the old directory held spaces. - [May 7, 99] Fixed bad behavior under Windows: "GWU.EXE" (in uppercase) was not regognized when searching for old GeneWeb versions. - [May 7, 99] Fixed bug: "cleanup" under Windows did not work. * GeneWeb aemon/CGI (gwd) - [Jun 7, 99] No more (stupid) abbreviation for "Number" in update forms: Did not work for many languages. - [Jun 3, 99] Added ability to use a new predefined term "+before" in the lexicon to specify the complement is before a verb (e.g. in German: "send" "image" is translated into "senden +before" "Bild", which gives at end: "Bild senden"; same solution for Dutch). - [May 31, 99] In ancestors only selected generation, added displaying of Sosa intervals (and "..." is displayed for non-contiguous intervals). - [May 18, 99] Added, in ancestors and descendants displaying, the ability to cancel GeneWeb links. Useful to extract a Web page for a site without GeneWeb server. - [May 16, 99] Fixed bug: in ascendants long displaying, did not display the last possible generation. - [May 15, 99] Added a "?" at end of empty requests (with just the data base name) because of too smart browsers which automatically add a "/" at end of the address in this case (transforming e.g. "http://host/base" into "http://host/base/"), what makes the request not working. - [May 14, 99] Fixed bug: in personal pages, the term "died" was sometimes missing when there was only a death place but no death date. Happened for persons born more than 120 years ago. - [May 12, 99] Fixed problem in CGI mode under Windows: sometimes displayed warning texts on the page. - [May 11, 99] Fixed bug: advanced search worked bad when neither "wizard" nor "friend": did not work when only specifying e.g. a first name or a surname of an existing (non "public") person. - [May 11, 99] Fixed bug: when adding ";opt=no_index" in URLs like explained in the doc ("How to put links to your base"), the used language was missing in the new URL. - [May 10, 99] Added ability to put relationship date for non married persons. - [May 7, 99] Fixed bug visible in Danish: the AE ligature ("æ") was incorrectly capitalized. * Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and welcome pages (*/start.txt) - [Jun 7, 99] Changed terms in Dutch for sentences with verb at end. - [Jun 7, 99] Added missing terms in Portuguese (Yves Guignard). - [Jun 3, 99] Added missing terms in German (Markus Mottl). - [Jun 3, 99] Added some missing terms in Italian (Daniel Hirschkoff). - [Jun 2, 99] Fixed and completed translations in Swedish (Lars Gustavsson; some help also from Stig Petersson). - [May 31, 99] Corrected and completed Spanish sentences in lexicon and Spanish welcome page (Luis Castro Guzman). * Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb) - [May 19, 99] Better catenation of continuation (CONC) notes. In particular fixes the bug which sometimes added spaces inside words. * GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged) - [May 19, 99] Fold notes lines at 255 characters (required by GEDCOM standard) adding CONC. * Consanguinity computing (consang) - [May 23, 99] Does not restart from scratch when changes: compute only what's necessary. * Documentation - [May 13..31, 99] Updated Swedish documentation (Lars Gustavsson). GeneWeb Version 2.02 -------------------- * New feature - [May 4, 99] Added a new program "setup" which will allow to use a lot of commands without having to type magic incantations in a MSdos (Windows) or Xterm (Unix) window. Everything is done in the Web navigator: creation of a database, extraction of a GEDCOM file, cleanup, etc etc. Should be convenient for non computer scientists beginners (and even for old timers computer scientists who already know GeneWeb). * General - [Apr 22, 99] Added Danish language (by Hans Albeck). * GeneWeb Daemon/CGI (gwd) - [May 6, 99] Fixed bad behavior: in "modify person" form, a person was not considered as "buried", if the only area filled was "burial place". - [May 4, 99] Added button "include missing spouses" for missing ancestors. - [May 4, 99] Suppressed trace log count in CGI mode in not redirected in a file (option "-log").

Moreover some browsers add this "bad" newline if the notes fields is empty => fixed. GeneWeb Version 1.04 -------------------- * gwd, ged2gwb, gwb2ged: - added baptism (separated from birth) and burial/cremation. - added sources for marriages. * gwd: - added "access" info, for infos display when dates < now - 100 years = * "If Titles" => displayed if the person has titles * "Public" => always displayed * "Private" => not displayed - added link to welcome page in personal record pages. - added option -auth: authorization file to restrict access (password) - fixed bug: in cgi mode, access to images did not work. - in welcome page, date (since ...) is printed in original language. - birthday months displayed as a menu and at the end instead of beginning * lexicon.txt: - some changes in translations GeneWeb Version 1.03 -------------------- * Added swedish version. * gwd: - in display by name, display year with precision in marriages - in missing ancestors by alphabetic order, display spouses too - in missing ancestors by Soza, shorter display of numbers - changed syntax of gwd.arg file (for cgi mode) => see doc "server" - in update person form, display "born" and "died" in neutral when language can do it (e.g. french "ne(e)", "decede(e)") - added request m=R;p=..;n=..;p1=..;n1=.. displaying relationship between two persons by their names * ged2gwb: - when converting a date with qualifier, if the date holds day or month, converts into: "ca Year".

GeneWeb Version 1.0 ------------------- CGI mode is Ok. * gwd, ged2gwb, lang/lexicon.txt: - errors on dates become warnings GeneWeb Version 1.0-beta.10 --------------------------- Still intermediate version to perfect "CGI" mode. * gwd: - fixed bug: update did not work in cgi mode. - print person link after "family switch" - when using "add parents", surname is printed in child area => ability to change father's. GeneWeb Version 1.0 beta.9 -------------------------- Intermediate version to perfect "CGI" mode under Windows NT. * More documentation * gwd: - cgi is detected by the presence of environment variable QUERY_STRING. It seems that .bat files is not accepted in Web servers in Windows NT, so one must use "gwd" itself. - if "gwd" is installed in cgi directory, and is renamed, e.g. "geneweb.exe", ability to add a file named "geneweb.arg" holding some lines * the first line if existing holds the name of the directory where "lang" is installed * the second line if existing holds the name of the directory where the databases are installed * the third line, if existing, may hold the string "cgi" telling that gwd must run on "cgi" mode, even if QUERY_STRING is not set - added option -bd: bases directory - no error message now if background not found * Deleted "add/person" in update (gwd) and in welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt) => impossibility now to directly create isolated persons.

GeneWeb Version 1.0 beta.8 -------------------------- * Added documentation in HTML: directions for use * Added LICENCE * Deleted COMM-en.txt & COMM-fr.txt * gwd: - added cgi mode (option -cgi) - Less general for acces by approximative spelling: ex: first name "agns" will not yet answer: "Agnes" and "Gunza", but just "Agnes". - Unix version: time out limited to 120 seconds instead of 60 - Descendants by list limited to 8 instead of 5 - added missing divorce information in descendants by list - Fixed bug: Ok on "add person" did not work - Fixed bug: could not cancel a friend or wizard password, by giving an empty one in the form in starting page - Fixed bug: shift at end of page for the indexes of descendants. - Fixed bug: update of family did not work. * ged2gwb: - added divorces - suppressed sources when forward defined (code reorganizing to do). * lang/lexicon.txt: - german translation updated * lang/de/start.txt: - german translation updated GeneWeb Version 1.0 beta.7 -------------------------- * general: - changed bases representation => memory consummation reduced in gwd and in consang - negative years are treated (gwc, gwd, ged2gwb) * gwd: - the directory cnt holding counts is searched in the current directory not in the one given by option "-hd" (no difference if -hd not specified). - this directory, cnt, is created if no present - ability to add a file "foo.trl" for the base "foo", in lang directory and in its subdirectories: the file is inserted at the end of all pages after the GeneWeb copyright. Note: the files ".txt" in the subdirectories do not hold yet the final tag "". - limitation to 5 generations for descendants display in list format - fixed bug: families could be displayed twice in case of close surnames - fixed bug: displaying of lexicon worked bad in 1.0-beta.6 * gwb2gw: - memory consummation significantly reduced - added option -tnd: infer negative dates when missing minus signs in GEDCOM - added option -lf: lowercase first names - add file "command.txt" in base directory to remind the used command and arguments - fixed bug: when multiple lines with 1 NOTES, only the first was treated - fixed bug: names starting with special letters were truncated - fixed bug: better search for possible years in undecoded dates GeneWeb Version 1.0 beta.6 -------------------------- * ged2gwb: - now only shortcut for options, suppressed long versions, finally - fixed bug in option "-tma" creating sometimes strings of bad length - fixed bug sometimes omissions of recording notes - try to find a year (a number between 32 and 2500) in dates impossible to decode * gwd: - added option "-only" in version Windows 95 too. - added option "-log" in version Windows 95 to redirect log to a file. - added display of ascendants up to an ancestor in relationship computing. - while displaying ascendants, the first generation is now the person himself (which is displayed with Soza number 1), not his parents - accept local ".GIF" files as photos (up to now, it was only ".gif", ".jpg" and ".JPG"). - local photo files are searched in (new) directory "images" - added copyright (c) * gwc - options described in english - added "unnamed" in statistics (option -stats) * lang/lexicon.txt: - some fixes in dutch version * lang/version: - added copyright (c) * lang/*/start.txt: - added form at end of pages to allow entering password for other entries.
