Reunion 9.01

Last night, Reunion 9.01 was released, which contains mostly fixes for problems that popped up with the release of Reunion 9, which was released last week. Reunion 9 is the latest version of the Reunion genealogy program from Leister Productions. Some of these are specific to Mac OS X 10.3.9 users.

Changes/Updates:

Reunion 9

Guess what? A year or two in the making, but Reunion 9 is here. That’s right. This is the first OS X native (Universal Binary – sorry Classic/Mac OS 8.x/9 users) of this popular Mac genealogy program. It requires Mac OS X 10.3.9, and there is so much new stuff that it’s going to take us a few days to sort through and check it out.

Note: “If you purchased Reunion 8 directly from Leister Productions or from an authorized dealer after November 15, 2006, you are eligible for a free upgrade to Reunion 9” (See LeisterPro.com for more details).

Here’s a all-to brief rundown of the new and upgraded features:

Personal Ancestry Writer II Version 52 (5 June 2006)

Personal Ancestry Writer II (PAWriter II) version 52 (5 June 2006) was released today.

As you may know, this is a free Mac genealogy application from Howard Metcalfe, that was developed to share many of the same features found in the original Personal Ancestry File genealogy program (PAF) for Mac, to allow for an easy transition for those moving from PAF for Mac to a more modern genealogy application.

This version “adds the generation of an HTML file containing a simple indented list of all descendants on file for the current person” and goes along with the HTML pedigree. Once you’ve downloaded the update, you can access this new feature through the HTML File menu.

Personal Ancestry Writer II Version 50 (23 April 2006)

Personal Ancestry Writer II (PAWriter II) version 50, 23 April 2006, was released yesterday. This is a free Mac genealogy application that was written to have many of the same features found in the original Personal Ancestry File genealogy program (PAF for Mac), to allow for an easy transition for those moving from PAF for Mac. One of the new features is that it’s distributed in a disk image format, and the developer notes that if upgrading, you should only copy over the new version of PAWriter II and the reference guide – ignore the example data and scrapbook files.

Personal Ancestry Writer II Version 50 (15 April 2006)

Personal Ancestry Writer II (PAWriter II) version 50, 15 April 2006, has been released by Howard Metcalfe. This is a free genealogy application that can run under either MacOS 8.6/9 (Classic) or Mac OS X. It’s written with the goal to have many of the same features found in the original Personal Ancestry File genealogy program (PAF for Mac). This version consists of enhanements in the outpout/reports and the navigation window.
