Update: iFamily for Leopard 2.443

An update to iFamily for Leopard was released yesterday. This is is what changed in the new version:

• Updated HTML web page generation and options for iPhone and iPod Touch
• Automated HTML web page generation and upload to MobileMe
• Drastically sped up export to iCal and added an option to generate “all day” events
• Added death year in ancestors and descendants diagrams when “Display Name Only” option is selected
• Spouse’s first names are included in the results sheet when performing a “Names” search
• Added a “Marriage Status” field to the family pane that displays the last known marriage event for each union
• Added a “Frequently Asked Questions” selection to the “Help” menu that launches the online iFamily for Leopard discussion forum of the same name, in your default web browser
• Data inconsistency report sheet now displays details about the person selected in the list
• The data inconsistency report sheet has an “Edit Notes” button that will enable one to do just that for the selected person
• Selective pruning of minor dynasties and unconnected people is now possible
• Added right-click menu options for copy and paste of events between people including event source references
• Adjusted the heights of some dialog boxes to support smaller displays and large dock sizes
• Updated GEDCOM export notes and tags
• Added “depersonalization” options for living and recently deceased people, in the “GEDCOM Export | All People” sheet
• Made more robust, the import of non-conforming GEDCOM event records and incomplete family records from The Master Genealogist
• Enhanced handling of spaces in family names during GEDCOM import
• Added an “Events by Subtype” menu item to the “Events” menu
• Added recognition of more Gaelic family name prefixes
• When the ancestral view is changed, one can now opt to change the current focal person to the root person in the selected ancestral view

This is a very nice set of updates and just in time for me to cover the new version in my upcoming review.

I’m thinking of creating a video walkthrough of some or all of these changes and additions. I think it will make them clearer. Would you like to see one or more screencasts covering the changes in new versions? Please let me know what you think in a comment.
