Welcome to the third release in May! As the dust is settling on the transition to Gramps 6.0, it's time again for features and refactoring. 🚀
Changes to settings button & logout ⚙️
The settings button in top right of the interface previously linked directly to the user settings page, which also contained a logout button. This has now been changed into a dropdown menu which allows to directly navigate to one of the subpages (user settings, administration, user management, system info) or to log out directly from the dropdown.
In addition, the settings subpages (accessible as tabs) now have their own URL, such as /settings/administration etc.
Fixed graph report settings 🩹
A long standing bug (#326) with the graph report settings has finally been fixed.
Refactoring under the hood 🛠️
The migration from the old v1 material web components (mwc-) to the new v2 components (md-) gained some traction. In most cases, this will be hardly visible, but you'll notice some subtle changes over the next releases, such as more rounded buttons. First and foremost, this will make the frontend code more future proof.
Backend updates: search index update in the background 🚀
Release 3.1.0 of Gramps Web API made a small but important change to how the search indices are updated when adding or modifying and object. This is now done as a background task rather than as part of the request, which means in practice that adding or updating objects will "feel" much faster, as the browser will not have to wait for the search indices to be updated.
Translation updates 🌐
As usual, lots of translations have been updated. Thanks to the Weblate community!
