Some people have tried out a preview release of MacPAF, and there is an issue with pre-Mac OS X 10.4 systems, but the developer is working on it. A preview release for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) users may be made available, while issues are worked out with pre 10.4 systems.

Some issues have been found already and are being addressed, but a preview release will be made available in the next few days.

You can keep an eye on this here, or at the developer’s home page. Continue reading →

There is a new beta of ohmiGene, version 0.90 b34 , now available. As mentioned before, the author strongly suggests that this is to be used only for beta testing, and not for actual genealogy research.

You can download the beta here.

This time around, I’m not too sure on what’s changed. I believe that work with some LDS features was done, among other things.

If you speak French and English, the author would love to hear from you – they do need assistance (and it would be great if you provided us with translated version of this page. Continue reading →

MacPAF is close to seeing the light of day, Logan Allred posted this message today:

I have made excellent progress over the last week. I’ve fixed the last of the problems with deleting families (that I know of), and got the individual and family list tab views working. I just have to finish off a few more things on the pedigree view, and then get the bug reporting workflow finished, and it should be good to go. Importing still has some issues, but mostly when working with multiple files at the same time, so I’m going to figure it out later since I have to revamp several parts of the code anyway. I was really hoping to be done today, but for everything I fix, it seems a new issue comes up. So many little details to worry about.

I’m thinking about releasing a little mini-preview tomorrow. If there are a few of you that can spend several hours over the next few days testing out the app and reporting all the significant issues you find to me, let me know. That should highlight any major bugs right off the bat so the majority of people don’t have to suffer through them. I can then release a more stable general preview release over the weekend. If it turns out there aren’t that many major issues, then I’ll release it right away.
