  • Added several new actions that can be performed on people in the People table!
  • Here are all of the actions:
  • View a person in the tree (only available when one single person is selected)
  • Modify a person’s attributes (only available when one single person is selected)
  • Change node color(s)
  • Change family colors(s)
  • You can select whether to change the colors for families where the selected people are a child or parent
  • Prepend text to names
  • Append text to names

  • Added a new “Add relation constraint” button to the People table!
  • Clicking this button will give you a new modal. From here, you can select the type of relation and the person you want the constraint to apply to.
  • When combined with the new bulk actions functionality, you can now perform actions on an entire branch in your tree!
  • Supported relation types:
  • Ancestor of
  • Descendant of

  • By default, a newly saved filter’s name will be a list of the constraints included in the filter
  • You can apply a previously-saved filter by clicking its name under “Saved filters”
  • You can rename or delete a saved filter by using the buttons to the right of a saved filter’s name
  • You can quickly view a saved filter’s constraints by hovering over the “X constraints” bubble next to a filter’s name
  • Previously saved custom highlight mode filters will be saved under the name (Filter from legacy custom highlight mode)!

  • Added a new “chips” display for filters in the People table.

  • This provides an easier way to track any active constraints you have configured on the People table.
  • Clicking the “X” button on a “chip” will delete the given constraint(s).
  • Clicking the “Clear all active constraints” button will delete ALL active constraints.

  • Removed the “Custom Highlight Mode” section from the People sidebar
  • Don’t worry - your custom highlight mode filters have been saved as a regular saved filter! View the “Added the ability to save up to 10 of your filters!” section for more information!
  • Removed select functionality from the People table
  • Specifically:
  • “New person” button
  • Edit and Delete buttons on individual rows. These can now be done via the “Actions” button on the top-right of the table

  • Various visual tweaks and enhancements to the People table

Topbar

  • Replaced the “Custom Highlight Mode” with a new “Custom Filter Highlight”

  • This highlight mode allows you to select a filter to highlight in your tree when the Custom Filter Highlight mode is enabled.
  • Click the dropdown button next to the filter icon to select the filter to apply when the Custom Filter Highlight mode is enabled
  • When selecting a filter, you have two options:
  • Active filter in the People bar table
  • One of your previously-saved filters
  • Previously, the Custom Highlight Mode only allowed you to have one saved filter to highlight at a time. Now, you can instantly swap between multiple filters!
  • The filter selection menu works similarly to the Saved Filters Menu in the People sidebar table: You can rename, delete, or view the constraints of a saved filter here too!

Tree Display 

  • Added a new option for “People table” in the right-click menu for nodes in your tree!

  • This menu option allows you to instantly filter to a person’s branch directly in your tree
  • Clicking one of the 4 options will open the People sidebar and automatically create a new relation constraint that matches the option you selected. From here, you can perform bulk actions on the branch you have filtered to
  • WARNING: Clicking one of these options will overwrite all active constraints currently configured in the People sidebar table

All Projects Page

  • Added a “What’s new” dropdown that describes the latest releases.
  • Will open by default if there has been a new version released since your last login.

Misc.

  • Reversed the icons for “Ignore” and “Unignore” buttons in match data tables
  • Added messages informing the user that they are viewing the POI’s information when opening the person details sidebar for a hypothesis location
  • Standardized the Sex attribute to three options: Unknown, Male, and Female. Before, there was a fourth state that was just empty.
  • Small visual updates in various places around the app

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where calculations would break if people in the tree had certain characters in their names
  • Fixed a bug where the POI would show up in certain node dropdown lists where it shouldn’t (e.g., when adding a new parent or child to someone via the person details sidebar)
  • Fixed a bug where hypothesis locations could be renamed via their sidebars
