• '<' not supported between 2 instances of IndexMark. Fixes #12467.
• Remove debug statements in unit tests.
• Fix negative Span when dates are not Gregorian. Fixes #12525.

Version 5.1.4 - a new maintenance release, has been released.

Make sure to backup before you upgrade.

Changes since v5.1.3:

• Update translations: cs, de, es, fi, fr, hu, nl, pt_BR, ru, sv, zh_CN.
• Update copyright date.
• Fix probably alive if death without date.
• Place editor, copy and paste of lat and long text no longer auto-populating latitude and longitude fields.
• Fix for crash when changing views if part of toolbar is not shown because of a small screen when changing views.
• Fix bottombar always showing after restart, even when not wanted.
• Always use filtered collation names. Store the Sqlite3 collations in the __collations array to short-circuit re-creation.
• Fix issue with German relation calculator fixed issue when more than 24 generations between the two people.
• Add file logging for macOS. When Gramps is launched from macOS's LaunchServices it doesn't have a sys.stderr attached so the default stream logger goes to /dev/null. Use a FileHandler in tht case, writing the log to $TMPDIR/gramps-pid.log. This will help particularly in analyzing crashes where python shuts down as there's no crash report in that case.
• Fix libplaceview to avoid exception when mapservice is no longer present.
• Fix References Gramplet for inadequate updates when other objects change.
• Fix geofamily crash if a family has no father.
• Home Person setting does not convey in a merge.
• Fix CSV export of view to only put single CR character.
• Add Media filter rule 'HasMedia' to list of media rules for editor.
• Need to set locale.textdomain under linux. _build_popup_ui() ignores translated strings without locale.textdomain set.
• Change category of 'MatchesEventFilter'.
• Fix issue where separator between top and bottom bar of View creeps up.
• Fix Locations Gramplet (Enclosed by) to properly display certain nested places when the smallest place has undated enclosure and larger places are dated.
• Fix Family Tree Manager drop error on Windows.
• Fix exportvcalendar error is "is not" with a literal (Python 3.8 issue)
• Handle not found when copying source from the citation tree.
• Fix call to 'file' function, which doesn't exist in Python3.
• Fix write_lock_file exception when USERNAME is missing.
• Fix EditPlace so Tab key doesn't get stuck on Private icon.
• Fix Tag report for places that have a hierarchy.
• Fix exception when cancelling out of a db upgrade in GUI.
• Icon file changes:
  • Install 128x128 and 256x256 application icons.
  • Install MIME type icons into the hicolor theme.
  • Remove gnome-mime- prefix from icon filenames.
  • Install application icons into correct directories.
• Fix error in Birthday and Anniversary report. Fixes an error triggered when the first person_handle in the list has a death event, but no birth event and does not have family relationships. These conditions lead to the local variable short_name not being declared before it comes time to process death events.
• Fix graphdoc to properly escape characters in ids for Graphviz.
• Replace inspect.stack() with inspect.currentframe(). Works around Python issue #12920 which causes every call to inspect.trace() to fail because __main__ is always the starting point.
• Fix crash sorting on columns in Selectors with TreeModels.
• Fix progress bar freeze due to changes in Gtk.
• Fix svgdrawdoc for text containing XML invalid characters.
• Mac:
  • Update PyICU to 2.7.2 in macOS build.
  • Update dependencies. Includes moving berkeleydb and pybsddb over from gtk-osx.
  • Further changes for bundling with Python 3.8.
  • Set __file__ if gramps_launcher.py is run as __main__.
  • Add geocode-glib to build.
  • Note: TLS changes have forced an update of gnutls that builds correctly only on macOS 13 or later. The minimum required is still macOS X 10.9 but libsqlite3 crashes during shutdown on 10.9. This appears to be harmless: all data are already written to the database, but macOS will put up an "unexpectedly quit" message and the database will be locked at start up. macOS X 10.11 and later seem not to be affected.

  • Markers incorrectly placed. In the map pages, the markers are not placed where it should be. Reproducible when zoom in/zoom out.
  • Background not correctly set. If you use the Web_Basic-Cypress.css, the foreground and background use the same color, so you see nothing. You must hover the fields to see the text
  • Places list is not sorted depending on the selected language. If you start gramps in english or another language then try to generate a narrative web report in another language, the navigation alphabet is incorrect. This is true for the place list and the person list.

Version 5.0.0-beta1, an experimental pre-release.

Make sure to backup before you upgrade.

The key word is experimental!

It might be unwise to "upgrade" your main/real gramps family tree into 5.0.0-beta1. In general, we recommend you make a copy of your family tree instead (typically by doing a "gramps XML" export), then try 5.0.0-beta1 on the copy. (You can keep things really separate by using the GRAMPSHOME environmental variable, if you want.)

It's been over four months since 5.0.0-alpha3 was released so we are interested in your feedback, especially if you discover any bugs or problems which we haven't noticed.
