Macworld Reviews Reunion 9

For the second time in a week, Jeffery Battersby at Macworld has reviewed another Mac genealogy application, this time it’s Reunion 9.04, a popular Mac OS X genealogy application that recently underwent a major overhaul. Jeff mentioned “Pod Cards” which allows you to export your genealogy files/notes to your iPod and view them on there (text only). They gave it five out of five mice, saying:

It’s been four years since the last major release of Reunion, Leister Productions’ beautifully designed and easy-to-use genealogy program. The latest version adds dozens of new features and enhances dozens more, resulting in more than 100 updates to an already excellent program.

Reunion 9.03

Reunion 9.03 is available for download (download here (LeisterPro.com)). Version 9.03 of the genealogy application includes fixes when transferring files back and forth between PowerPC and Intel-based Macs, improvements in Citations, last name handling, fixes/changes in editing, as well as many other changes.

Changes:
* Editing in Lists - added a button to disable editing in lists. This is a global preference and is located in the Index Preferences window.
* Cross Platform issues - fixed endian problems when moving files from PPC to Intel or vice versa.
* Citations - Citations in text of note fields are copied/pasted, and can be dragged/dropped.
* Clipboard - fixed problems removing and deleting people from the Clipboard.
* Index - single quote is ignored when determining prefix words (so a surname like O’Reilly will be considered one word.
* Last Name UPPERCASE button - McDee will be converted to McDEE.
* Initial Caps button - will ignore quotation marks in fields.
* GEDCOM Export window - the “GEDCOM character set” popup menu setting is remembered (this is not a global preference).
