15 March 2018: Preview demo of version 7

It has been quite a long time without news for GeneWeb, but a lot of work has been done in the background. If you didn’t try the demonstration of GeneWeb 7 you should! For example, if you remember the old table of descendants in version 6.07, look at all the added options for tables in version 7: images, popups for notes and sources, children counts, better d’Aboville notation for multiples relations, a new mode with separate rows for spouses (to see their birth and death), buttons to change the number of generations, to the table (or trees) of ancestors, easier access to forms, easy navigation between parents/children and between individuals,… All that in the same program! Feedback is welcome on Github or on the mailing list.

Be generous with translations, as only English and French are well maintained for the moment. The project will need help from translators to provide missing lexicon sentences before the final release of GeneWeb 7 .

1st September 2016: GeneWeb is over 18 years old! 

Happy birthday to Daniel's 1st commit on the GeneWeb Github repository!

7 April 2016: HTTPS

As our host Tuxfamily welcome HTTPS, so do we! GeneWeb Wiki and it's demo subsite now benefits from the Let's Encrypt certificate. The GeneWeb documentation is now available on https://geneweb.tuxfamily.org/.

8 March 2016: Continuous integration

The continuous integration tools Travis-CI (Linux/OS X) and AppVeyor (Windows) have been chosen to check that the compilation of GeneWeb is successful on the respective platforms. If a build is successful, it's reported with a little Github badge on the README.md file and is also on the GitHub front page.

Build logs can be found clicking on those badges at:

• https://travis-ci.org/geneweb/geneweb
• https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ipfix/geneweb

26 January 2016: Roadmap to GeneWeb 7 beta

Good news! The main developer of GeneWeb for all versions of GeneWeb 6 will keep maintaining the distribution until the release version of Geneweb 7. The master repository for the project can now be found at https://github.com/geneweb/geneweb

A concrete roadmap to the incoming beta has been published on the wiki. Any help or feedback is appreciated!

1st October 2015: Geneweb Wiki

Mediawiki has been deployed on tuxfamily.org for GeneWeb documentation at http://geneweb.tuxfamily.org/. Everybody can help write and translate the manual, FAQ, and tips and tricks for GeneWeb.

26 May 2015: GeneWeb is moving to Github

GeneWeb is now hosted on Github (for some month) : https://github.com/geneanet/geneweb

The issues tracker has been moved too (also the comments have not, they will be soon).

For better community exposure, the entier project is moving (also the wiki, but one step at a time).

Please, from now on, it would be better to use github to report issues or update the wiki. Thanks.
