GeneWeb version 7.01
---------------------

This changelog describes in more details changes introduced in 7.0 and 7.1.

* Various corrections and marginal updates in template files.

* Addition of a collections of "cousins" template commands. 
: Using these commands, the "Relationship" item on the last or next to last menubar item on the right will provide a comprehensive table of potential "cousins" relationships, counting v1 generations up and v2 generations down.

* Update of the "places by surname" command (available on the welcome page).
: List of persons related to a given place are now explicitly provided as well as the possibility to construct a multi-relation tree between these persons. A link back into the places dictionary is also provided.

* Addition of a [[plugins#carrousel_.28WIP.29|carrousel]] mechanism allowing archival of several pictures associated with a person beyond the existing portrait.

* New command {{c|1=m=DOC}} (similar to {{c|1=m=SRC}}) allowing taking into account .pdf and .html files.
 <a href="%sm=DOC&s=file.pdf">Pdf file</a>
: will display the content of the pdf file.
: Contrary to image files, pdf and html files cannot be included in a <img src="..."> command.
: Arguments to m=SRC and m=DOC can now be located into sub-folders of the current images/basename and src/basename folders.

* In templates, images (portraits) are displayed by default, and spouses are not. Most of the templates provide buttons to change this setting as well as other parameters.
: When no button is available, manually adding {{c|1=im=off}} and/or {{c|1=sp=on}} in the URL should work.
  
* In ancestor trees, a new option allows to choose the order of display of father and mother. Default is father to the left.

* A new {{c|1=visitor_access=no}} parameter in the {{c|.gwf}} file prevents access to the base to anyone but friends and wizards.

* The lexicon supports an alias mechanism allowing for several names for the same set of translations.

* Access to the server without supplying a base name opens index.txt which allows capture of the base name. A list of available bases is provided.
: Is only one base exists, its welcome page is directly opened.

* Homonyms lists are expanded, including parents and spouses names to facilitate identification.

* In the authentication files for wizards and friends, username can be expanded into username|userkey where userkey is first_name.ocurence.surname of the user in this base. This will allows direct creation of url that take into account visitor's data (for instance a path between him and the visited person).

* For CGI, static_path superseded by GW_STATIC_PATH as per [[CGI#Connecting_style_files]]
