UNSTABLE Gramps 4.0.0 Beta2 release. This is a technology preview to allow distribution packagers (and plugin writers) to update their scripts (and plugins). This release is not production ready, so only use it for testing! It is recommended that Gramps 4.0.0 be used with python 2.7 since many dependent packages do not yet have python 3 versions. A determined person can probably download their sources and build them, however. The dependencies for Gramps 4.0.0 are _completely_ different than 3.4 due to the switch to GObject introspection, and the removal of autotools. So only install 4.0.0 if you are certain you can obtain the dependencies, see README and INSTALL. For linux, in Ubuntu 12.10 you can install 4.0.0, but you will need to compile and install osmgpsmap manually to have the maps working (see http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_029:_GTK3-GObject_introspection_Conversion#OsmGpsMap_for_Geography ) Major enhancements in Gramps 4.0.0: * GEP 8: code reorganization: http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_008:_File_Organization * GEP 26: Replace make: http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_026:_Replace_%27make%27_for_Gramps_build * GEP 29: Gtk 3 :http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_029:_GTK3-GObject_introspection_Conversion * GEP 31: Python 3 support: http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_031:_Python_3_support More info in the manual http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_-_What%27s_new%3F Everybody is invited to update the manual to make it current!
