Visualize your Y-DNA Data 🧬
Gramps Web’s DNA features are designed to store genealogically relevant DNA data in a future-proof, traceable, and secure way, while also offering clear visualizations. This year, these tools have become significantly more powerful and user-friendly – starting with the DNA view in 25.1, followed by the improved match view in 25.3. Rounding out this series of improvements is the addition of the Y-DNA view in this version.
To use this new feature, you need to obtain your Y-DNA SNP data from a Y-DNA test provider and store them in the Gramps database. Gramps Web then uses the yclade library to determine your most likely position on YFull human Y-chromosome tree and displays your paternal lineage in the last 200 thousand years. All of that is done with a local copy of the Y-tree, i.e. without sending your data to a third party.
See the Gramps Web Y-DNA docs for details.

Edit a Place's Hierarchy and Alternate Names 📍
One of the few areas where Gramps Web still lacked full editing capabilities compared to Gramps desktop was place details. In this release, two contributions nearly close that gap.
- @cajturner added support for editing, adding, or removing alternate place names, including dates (#713)
- @Ziesie1 added support for editing place hierarchy references (#757)
