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
|
||
|
||

|
||
