This release includes several new features, including a “Find on this Page” and “Repair multimedia links” – especially helpful when moving data around.

New Features:
* “Find on this Page” added to note fields, logs, and sources. This makes it easy to find words in long note fields, logs, and the free-form text field of source records.
* Repair multimedia links – a new feature to help you find and resolve broken multimedia links. See the new Repair button in: Reunion -> Preferences / Multimedia / Locations.
* “Paste as Plain Text” – a new menu item for pasting text in notes and logs that will strip text styles and colors from the pasted text.
* Enter source by number. If you’re familiar with your source numbers you can document the source of data even faster.
* Added the ability to search for “married name” in the Index and in the family card search box. Just use a dash before the name in the search box. For example, searching for “-clinton, hilary” would create a list of all the Clintons, including anybody who married a Clinton.
* In Sibling popup menus, child status is appended to names of siblings.
* Picture windows – added more zoom choices when Control-clicking a picture window or using the Picture menu.
