Gramps 6.0.0 released.
 2025.03.19
Gramps team releases version 6.0.0, A new major release.
Highlights
Reports
The narrative web report has four main improvements:
- New indexes for big databases.
- Add heatmap.
- Improve language and hamburger menus.
- Show other roles for an event.
Other report changes:
- Add gender symbol option to the detailed descendant, detailed ancestral and descendant report.
- Add Gramps ID option to Kinship Report.
- Tree reports convert images to thumbnails for embedding. This allows cropped rectangles selected in the media references to be displayed.
- Report options are now memorised on a per family tree (database) level.
Gramplets
The following updates have been made:
- Improvements to the backlinks (References) gramplets:
- Allow an object to be made active from within the backlinks gramplet.
- Add a context menu to make “Edit” and “Make Active” more discoverable.
- Allow objects in the backlinks gramplets to be dragged to the clipboard.
- Add edit capability to the notes gramplets.
- Enhanced version of the Filter gramplet.
Selector dialogs
The selector dialogs have been improved:
- A standard search bar has been added to the person selector dialog. It may default to selecting men or women by default, but selecting on other columns is possible.
- It is now possible to select multiple media objects in the media selector and gallery tabs.
- The media selector has a new path column.
Other changes
- Improvements to the Probably Alive code.
- New rules: “Has Event”, “Has Source” and “Having Note of Type”.
- New Gedcom 7.0 event roles: “Father”, Mother", “Parent”, “Child”, “Multiple”, Friend", “Neighbour” and “Officiator”.
- Allow web-accessible file references in media objects.
- Add a preference option for the selection of the toolbar style.
- Enhancements to the help display. This is ongoing though.
- Enable Web Connection menu in all list views.
Technical stuff
These changes are probably less interesting to most people:
- Many bug fixes.
- Removal of deprecated features.
- Adding type hints and static type checking.
- Code quality improvements and clean-ups.
- Extra unit tests.
Database-related changes
In layman’s terms, the following changes have been made to the database:
- We now store objects in the database in a human-readable format.
- Power users can now read the database directly without needing to use python.
- Certain operations may be slower, but we don’t think by much.
- Refactoring and optimisation of the filters/rules should make these much quicker.
- The new storage format will make future maintenance and optimisations easier for the developers.
