Version 3.00

See Gedcom Publisher News #016

Enhancements

  • Updated to use .NET 8, the latest long-term support version of the .NET infrastructure

    Users don't need to understand what .NET 8 is, or how it works. It's a modern infrastructure for building applications and guarantees that Gedcom Publisher has a solid footing. It also provides many performance improvements. Gedcom Publisher is now faster!

    Prior to this release, Gedcom Publisher was built with .NET Framework 4, and restricted to using that infrastructure due to a dependency inherited from the user interface components used by prior versions of Gedcom Publisher. I replaced those user interace components with new, home-grown components built using .NET 8.

    Gedcom Publisher should be noticeably faster when making a book or when loading your GEDCOM file or TMG project. The speed improvement is due to the .NET 8 conversion as well as fine-tuning during and after the conversion effort.

  • Added support for light mode (dark text on a light background) and dark mode (light text on a dark background) in Gedcom Publisher's user interface via the Customize menu
  • Added support for several color schemes in Gedcom Publisher's user interface via the Customize menu
  • Added the Names.Suffix Delimiter property
  • Added a new variation of the PERSON Text Code where omitting the personId parameter yields the name of the current person when used in a Literal Text Person Entry Item
  • Added support for GEDCOM files where FAM records include two HUSB subrecords or two WIFE subrecords rather than one of each
  • Added the Chapter Link Person Entry Item.
  • Added the People per Table property to Chapter People items that support an embedded List of People

    In addition, when embedded lists include subheadings such as the current generation, etc., Gedcom Publisher attempts to split tables at heading changes.

  • Added the Add References property to Chapter People items that support an embedded List of People
  • Added the Show List Item Tooltips preference

Changes

  • Moved Embed Position properties out of image-specific section of Exhibits Section; they apply to all exhibit types
  • Added documentation of the Names.Suffix Delimiter property
  • When a progress dialog completes and the check (done) icon appears, focus now shifts immediately to the main window

    Progress dialogs are visible when Gedcom Publisher is loading a data file and when making a book.

    In the past, focus would not return to the main window unless the user clicked in the main window while the progress window was visible. Now, when the background task is complete, focus shifts to the main window. The progress window remains visible for a couple seconds, then closes. This change allows the user to use [Ctrl-B] to view the book without waiting for the progress dialog to close.

  • Changed application parameters to increase compatibility with the .NET Runtime
  • When a user presses the [F1], Gedcom Publisher now uses a new method to determine if there is a help page available for the current section

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where very low values for People per Table would sometimes trigger empty tables that rendered as a heading row followed by a duplicate heading row
  • Fixed an issue where multiple references to a place with place information (latitude/longitude, an exhibit, or a note) sometimes generated multiple place information pages that were identical when there should be only one place information page
  • Fixed a bug where place information pages did not work properly unless the book also included linked exhibits

    If linked exhibits were not present, the Exhibits chapter would be removed, but place information pages were in that chapter, and that produced an invalid EPUB.

    If the Exhibits chapter is deleted or disabled, and the book includes at least one place information page, the Make Book command will fail with an error message.

  • Fixed a bug where List of People content triggered an error in the e-reader
  • Fixed a bug where place information pages triggered an error in the e-reader
  • Fixed a bug where the Clear Person Entry Item was ignored
  • Fixed a bug where items in the user-defined External Tools list did not honor the enable/disable checkbox
  • Fixed a bug where choosing "Place 3" in items with column definitions would cause a crash when making the book
  • Fixed a bug where Chapter People Descendants was using the wrong Generation Heading Template
  • Fixed a bug where pull-down menu properties that can be set by keying a value did not work properly
  • Fixed a bug where canceling the Make Book command triggered an error
  • Fixed a bug where the Show List Item Tooltips preference was not applied properly
  • Fixed a bug where the Language.Sentence Language pull-down menu was empty
  • Fixed a bug where GP was using the wrong domain for help page links
  • Fixed a bug where alignment codes for the PERSON-IMAGE Text Code did not work properly unless specified in lowercase

Family Historian

Fixes for Family Historian

  • Removed the "in" prefix from the value of "{date:YEAR}" to match the FH value

The Master Genealogist

Changes for The Master Genealogist

  • Adjusted how Gedcom Publisher loads source element information to avoid a bug in TMG where multiple source element records have the same RECNO (record number) value when the RECNO values are supposed to be unique
2023-12-06

Version 2.04

See Gedcom Publisher News #015

Enhancements

Changes

  • For GEDCOM NAME records with a TYPE subrecord, Gedcom Publisher now adds a prefix "Name-" to the TYPE value to avoid possible collisions with event types
    GEDCOMGedcom Publisher
    Tag Type
    1 NAME Mary Elizabeth /Smith/
    2 TYPE Birth    		Name-Birth
    1 NAME Mary /Todd/
    2 TYPE Maiden    		Name-Maiden
  • Changed/corrected the HTML Gedcom Publisher uses to render heading tags and added a new Strings entry to allow users to customize the HTML

Family Historian

Changes and Fixes for Family Historian

  • Added support for data references "{%CUR~WITN>NAME%}", {%CUR~WITN>NAME:GIVEN_ALL%} (and other name parts), "{%CUR~WITN>NAME.TYPE%}", {%CUR~WITN>NAME[N]%}, and {%CUR~WITN>NAME[N].TYPE%}

    For data references that include "[N]", specify a number (1,2,3, etc.) in place of "N" to choose which of the person's names to use.

  • Fixed an issue where Gedcom Publisher did not support name part references after a role name, i.e., "{role:NAMEPART=rolename}"
  • Fixed an issue where Gedcom Publisher did not suppress citation and exhibit output for facts where the sentence is "{blank}"
  • Added support for data references that include indexed names, i.e., CUR_PRIN.NAME[2]
  • Added support for NAME.TYPE data references, i.e., CUR_PRIN.NAME.TYPE or CUR_PRIN.NAME[1].TYPE, etc.
  • Added/modified NAME Format results
  • Added a period and space as a prefix when automatically appending the NOTE value to event output via the Add Note to Global Sentence property, but please see the recommendation about not using this option in Family Historian
  • Fixed an issue where Gedcom Publisher was not assigning the correct Tag Type to some family events
  • Fixed an issue where Gedcom Publisher was applying the "Age At Format" template to produce the AgeAt() function result, which typically includes literal text like "at age", whereas the FH function returns the age value only

The Master Genealogist

Enhancements for The Master Genealogist

  • Added several TMG-specific properties to control excluded text and citations
  • Added support for sentence variables [LSP], [LSPO], [LSP1], and [LSP2]

    The LSPx codes are not implemented in TMG. They are extensions added long ago in Second Site that are now supported in Gedcom Publisher.

Fixes for The Master Genealogist

  • Fixed an issue where Gedcom Publisher was not assigning the correct CSS class for text rendered inside TMG's [SCAP:] and [:SCAP] printer codes
2023-02-10

Version 2.03

See Gedcom Publisher News #014

Enhancements

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where Gedcom Publisher was not checking ancestor events properly when analyzing if a person is living or dead

Family Historian

Changes for Family Historian

  • Added support for the {others} variable
  • Added support for the {inline-note} variable
  • Changed the behavior of the {note} variable

    As of FH7, FH inserts a period and space when processing the {note} variable. That is a change from FH6. Gedcom Publisher now follows the FH7 behavior. When reading a GEDCOM file exported from FH6 or previous, Gedcom Publisher changes {note} to {inline-note} which provides the pre-FH7 behavior of {note}.

The Master Genealogist

Enhancements for The Master Genealogist

2022-07-26

Version 2.02

See Gedcom Publisher News #013

Enhancements

  • Added the Virtual Witnesses facility, a new feature available in all Tag Sets
  • Added the GEDCOM Editors section to allow making find-and-replace edits to GEDCOM records as a GEDCOM file is read by Gedcom Publisher
  • Updated the Tag Filter Tab in all Tag Sets replacing several properties with new Event Filter and Name Filter properties to expand the Event and Name filtering options for Tag Sets

    Gedcom Publisher converts Tag Filter Tab properties from prior versions to the new filter properties when opening existing .gpfiles.

  • The Add and Edit windows for all Tag Sets now include a Filter Wizards menu to simplify the addition of filters that reproduce the effect of properties that were replaced by the new, more general-purpose Event Filter and Name Filter properties
  • Added a Person Filter property to the Attribute and Literal Text Person Entry Items
  • Added new filter terms:

Legacy

Changes for Legacy

  • Now supports event definitions in GEDCOM files for BMDB tag types

Enhancements

2021-03-20

Version 2.00

See Gedcom Publisher News #011

Enhancements

  • Added the Person Prefix property to the Subject Name, Family Sections, and Parent Section Person Entry Items

    You can now add a sequence number or other value before names that appear in the sections listed above.

  • Added a "SeqNo" (sequence number) Attribute that Gedcom Publisher assigns when determining which people will be included in the book

    The SeqNo Attribute is used by the new Person Prefix properties and may be used in the same manner as other Attributes except it may not be used in filters that select who will be included in the book.

  • Added support for several new features in Family Historian 7 (see below)
  • Added the Exhibits.Include Note property
  • Added labels for parent-child relationships to the Parent Section and Family Sections

    This support is limited to applications that make the information available. See either of the help pages linked above for details.

  • Added the Primary Birth and Primary Death terms to filter people by the characteristics of the primary birth or primary death event
  • Added the DNA Descendant Of filter term to filter or accent people based on DNA inheritance of mtDNA, X-DNA, or Y-DNA
  • Added the Tag Participants term to filter events by the number of participants, principals, or witnesses
  • Added new Role term to filter events by the subject's Role name
  • Added new Date comparison operators "Is empty" and "Is not empty"
  • Added the Sources.Use Linked References and Sources.Use Superscript References properties
  • Added the Output Type and Class properties to the Ancestor Lineage Item
  • Added the Class property to the Descendant Lineage Item
  • Added the missing surname indicator to the list of names in the picklist
  • Made multiple changes to improve GEDCOM 5.5.1 compliance and functionality, including:
    • Added support for sharing events using the GEDCOM extensions records recommended by the Gedcom-L group
    • Added support for the INDI.FAMC.PEDI record as part of the parent-child relationships enhancement described above
    • Modified the default handling of the ALIA (Alias) GEDCOM tag to create either an Alias event linking two people (consistent with GEDCOM 5.5.1 specification) or a Name-AKA (consistent with some non-standard programs)
    • Modified the import logic for GEDCOM NOTE records where an initial empty line is not discarded

      Gedcom Publisher will strip an empty first line when reading a GEDCOM file exported from Reunion because it always includes an empty first line that is not part of the actual NOTE value.

    • Adjusted the GEDCOM import rules so the EMAIL, EMAI, PHON, and WWW record values are added as memo parts on the event record

      The EMAIL, EMAI, and WWW values are converted to links.

      There are no references to these new memo parts in the standard Gedcom Publisher sentences, and I am not aware of any programs with sentence templates that refer to those values. If you want to include them in output, you'll have to use a Gedcom Publisher sentence for the event, and you'll have to include "[M:Email]", "[M:Telephone]", or "[M:Web Site]" in the sentence template.

  • Changed the method used to determine the type (image, audio, video, document) of an exhibit such that the file extension, if any, carries more weight than the GEDCOM FORM value

Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where Gedcom Publisher hung when loading a GEDCOM file due to an invalid location for a SOUR record
  • Fixed a bug where Family Sections were not always in the right sequence if the first-born child was a primary child in one family and a non-primary in another
  • Fixed a bug where sequence numbers for Chapter Person items were not assigned correctly
  • Fixed a bug where the Descendant Lineage Item sometimes produced the wrong lineage when a non-primary parent was a descendant of the progenitor
  • Fixed a bug where people added via the Chapter Person item were not assigned a sequence number except in rare circumstances
  • Fixed a bug where the Make Book command failed with a null reference exception when rendering a Family Section with a particular combination of property and data values
  • Fixed the Attribute filter term to trim the attribute name before evaluating the comparison
  • Fixed a bug where the Date term's "Equal" operator returned the wrong result
  • Fixed a bug where the "Include in Table of Contents" property was ignored for several Chapter Types including Exhibits and the name indexes
  • Fixed a bug where the GEDCOM RESN (restriction) record was not implemented for names and individual events

    If a name structure includes a RESN subrecord, the name value is converted to the Name Strings.Private Name value.

    If an individual event structure includes a RESN subrecord, the event is ignored.

  • Fixed a bug where certain invalid level numbers in GEDCOM files would cause a failure to read the file
  • Fixed an issue where two (or more) consecutive exhibits would be wrapped in the border of the first exhibit
  • Fixed an issue where HTML elements, either literals or as a result of printer codes, would sometimes appear as visible text
  • Fixed a bug where the output was duplicated for the Pedigree Link Person Entry Item when Output Type was set to "Field"

Family Tree Maker

Enhancements for Family Tree Maker

  • Added support for the custom OBJE.FILE._TEXT record which specifies a note for a media item; Gedcom Publisher treats this the same as the standard OBJE.NOTE record
  • Added support for the custom OBJE.FILE._DATE record which assigns a date to a media item
  • Added support for the _PRIV (private) record that FTM uses to mark media items (exhibits) as private

Changes for Family Tree Maker

  • Removed custom handling for FTM's non-standard ALIA tag in favor of a more flexible default handler that supports both standard and non-standard variations without source-specific rules

Legacy

Changes for Legacy

  • Added support for non-standard GEDCOM in Legacy 9.0 where a custom FAM._MARRIED record with the value "N' is intended to indicate that a FAM.MARR record should not create a Marriage event

RootsMagic

Enhancements for RootsMagic

Changes for RootsMagic

  • When Notes.Add Note to Global Sentence or Notes.Add Note to Local Sentence is checked, Gedcom Publisher will now append the event note for principals but will append the witness note for witnesses

  • Fixed a bug where source templates switches were not working properly in all cases

The Master Genealogist

Changes for The Master Genealogist
