Download sources and releases of GeneWeb

When updating GeneWeb, make sure that bases are properly saved to recover them in the new version. Moving mybase.gwb folders from a version to another may work, but is not guaranteed.

The last version GeneWeb 7 adds the management of events and its database format isn’t backward compatible with older versions. When migrating, don’t copy or move your old bases directory mybase.gwb. You must inevitably extract/save all databases into GeneWeb files mybase.gw from your old Geneweb version and reimport them one by one to the new version.
