The highlights in this release are the improved blog overview and completely new interactive family tree charts based on D3.js!
Blog improvements
- The
/blog
page now shows an overview of the most recent articles - Individual articles now have their own URL of the form
/blog/{source_gramps_id}
, so they can be shared as link - Sources with tag 'Blog' now show a button "show in blog"
Completely new family tree views
- The ancestor chart has been completely reimplemented using D3.js
- There is a brand new fan chart also based on D3.js
The "graph" view has been removed for the time being, but more visualizations and further improvements based on D3 are planned.
Other improvements
- Events can now be created directly from the person view #174
- The frontend now supports background tasks introduced by Web API v0.5.0. This means for instance that large trees imported in the first run assistant should no longer lead to a time out as they are imported in the background
- Settings page split into user and admin settings (to make room for future additions)
- Translations updates to 11 languages - thanks to the translator community!
