The GEDCOM standard stopped evolving on 10 January 1996. There is a draft for a 5.5.1 version, of which Gramps uses several features as noted below.
 
The following assumes the standard GEDCOM export utility. However, there is also a set of common extensions that have been bundled together. See [[GEDCOM Extensions]] for more information.
__TOC__
* '''Media Attributes''': no equivalent in GEDCOM.
* '''Source Data''': no equivalent in GEDCOM.
* '''Source on places''': no equivalent in GEDCOM.* '''Event Attributes different from age, father age, mother age, cause, agency'''. These other attributes have no equivalent in GEDCOM. AGNC and CAUS are exported from Agency and Cause attributes (respectively) of an event. AGE, HUSB:AGE and WIFE:AGE are exported from Age, Father's Age and Mother's Age (respectively) of an event reference. Hence these items of data should be stored in the appropriate place for export.
* '''Media Description''': set by user, no equivalent in GEDCOM.
* '''Reference region of a media reference'''.
* '''Persian, Islamic, Swedish calendars'''
* '''Dual date and non 31/12 new year'''
* Some '''Gramps' Types''' (Note, Repository, Repository reference, x-mime type, etc ...)
