Template:Releases/0.4.0
Version 0.4.0
Gramps 0.4.0 has been released and has some significant changes in it. The list below outlines of the major changes. There have been quite a few contributors to this release. Laurent Protois has contributed a French translation, to go along with the Swedish (from Bo Rosen) and German (from Bernd Schandl). Graham Williams has contributed a XML DTD (document definition) for the gramps file format. Jesper Zedlitz has contributed two plugins - an ancestor counting tool, and a preliminary graphical representation. Several others are working on new reports and plugins which have not be included yet. Special notice goes to Bob Bartlett for helping to stomp out a lot of bugs. And thanks to all of those on the gramps-devel mailing list who helped with ideas and with the testing of the release. I'm sure I'm forgetting to thank someone, and I apologize for that.
