In order to fix some bugs introduced in 3.4.3 and to prepare for the imminent release of version 4.0.0, the Gramps team releases version 3.4.4.

We advise everybody on 3.x versions to upgrade to this latest and most stable of Gramps versions.

For all users on Linux versions older than October 2012, the 3.4 releases will be the last versions of Gramps that can be easily installed. Therefore, bug fixes will continue for the 3.4 series for at least another year.

One month after Gramps 4.0.0 alpha5, the Gramps Developers have released:

The first Gramps 4.0.0 beta release. This is a preview, so use for testing!"

It is recommended to use Gramps 4.0.0 with python 3.2 so as to be ready for the future (python 2.7 works though).

The dependencies for Gramps 4.0.0 are completely different than 3.4 due to the switch to GObject introspection, and the removal of autotools. So only install 4.0.0 if you are certain you can obtain the dependencies, see README and INSTALL.

Major enhancements in Gramps 4.0.0:

• GEP 8: code reorganization: GEPS_008:_File_Organization

• GEP 26: Replace make: GEPS_026:_Replace_'make'_for_Gramps_build

• GEP 29: Gtk 3 : GEPS_029:_GTK3-GObject_introspection_Conversion

• GEP 31: Python 3 support : GEPS_031:_Python_3_support

The Gramps Developers have released:

Version 3.4.3 of Gramps! "'Whenever life gets you down, Mrs. Brown'", a maintenance release.

The main changes are:

• Sorting of names, places etc. uses the International Components for Unicode (ICU) libraries which resolves many bugs particularly on MS Windows, and ensures that sorting is the same for all platforms.

• Addon checking and download works again.

• A large number of fixes to Narrative Web. In particular, media objects attached to events and sources are now output.

• Many other bug fixes.

Am sorry for the lack of posts here ... I have had health issues and this group fell off the radar.  I do post regular updates on the FB gramps group.  I have re-added this to my regular updates post and check.  The FB group is here.

I don't know if you are still around, but I have installed Gramps 3.2.0-1 on my computer running Ubuntu 10.04.  I imported my family tree gedcom file and ended up with 10% fewer names on the gramps than I had on the gedcom. Are gedcom files an issue with Gramps?

thanks.

GRAMPS is a Free Software Project for Genealogy, offering a professional genealogy program, and a wiki open to all. It is a community project, created, developed and governed by genealogists. GRAMPS, the Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System, currently runs on Linux and Windows. Guides for installation on MAC OS X, BSD and Solaris are available.

GRAMPS helps you track your family tree. It allows you to store, edit, and research genealogical data with your computer. GRAMPS attempts to provide all of the common capabilities of other genealogical programs, but, more importantly, to provide an additional capability of integration not common to these programs. This is the ability to input any bits and pieces of information directly into GRAMPS and rearrange/manipulate any/all data events in the entire data base (in any order or sequence) to assist the user in doing research, analysis and correlation with the potential of filling relationship gaps.

Version 3.1.2 of GRAMPS is the current release.
