github gramps-project/gramps-web v26.11.0

2 hours ago

This release continues the move to Material Web components, with restyled data tables, a reworked snackbar and many bug fixes. The media view now opens media in the lightbox and shows video thumbnails. Under the hood, the release images contain Gramps Web API v3.25, whose Docker image is less than half its former size and which uses less memory, with faster search and lists. Semantic search is removed. With the standard Docker setup, no action is needed. 🎃
