One month after Gramps 4.0.0 alpha5, the Gramps Developers have released:
The '''first Gramps 4.0.0 beta ''' release.This is a preview, so use for testing!" It is recommended to use Gramps 4.0.0 with python 3.2 so as to be ready for the future (python 2.7 works though). 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'''. Major enhancements in Gramps 4.0.0: * GEP 8: code reorganization: [[GEPS_008:_File_Organization]] * GEP 26: Replace make: [[GEPS_026:_Replace_%27make%27_for_Gramps_build]] * GEP 29: Gtk 3 : [[GEPS_029:_GTK3-GObject_introspection_Conversion]] * GEP 31: Python 3 support : [[GEPS_031:_Python_3_support]] More info in the [[Gramps_4.0_Wiki_Manual_-_What%27s_new%3F|manual]] Everybody is invited to update the manual to make it current!
