What's new

v5.0 [Nov 22, 2015]
- Ancestral Sources now supports the entry of birth sources such as birth certificates.
- There are now options to allow informants for deaths and births to be linked to the event using the Witness Roles introduced in Family Historian 6.
- There are now more colour options in the customise screen including some new themes.
- Witness roles created for linked individuals now include a source citation.
- There is now an option to retain any witnesses when replacing an existing fact.
- There is now an option, requested by Bill Henshaw, to always show the source type label next to the toolbar buttons, rather than just for the currently selected source type.

v4.0 [Apr 18, 2014]
- Improved how some of the controls scale when a larger font or windows DPI is used. In particular the age dialogue had some major scaling issues. This was prompted by comments from gerrynuk and davidm_uk on the FHUG forums.
- The informant name was unticked initially until reset. This has now been fixed - 'rodit' on the FHUG forums reported this.
- 'StevieSteve' on the FHUG forums reported that under certain circumstances the parents residences and spouse residences were disabled when entering baptism or marriage records. This is now fixed.
- Updated the pre-1812 burial auto-text template to correct a formatting issue and to add occupation and residence information.
- The check-box for residence and birth place now updates autotext correctly.
