GeneWeb version 3.03
--------------------
* Languages
- [23 Jan 00] Added Russian (Konstantin Abakumov).
* Setup program (gwsetup)
- [07 Feb 00] Changed some Swedish files (Lars Gustavsson).
- [27 Jan 00; 03 Feb 00] Added a comment in the introduction text
telling not to delete the window! (English, French, Swedish versions)
* GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd)
- [17 Mar 00] In CGI mode, the passwords are no more visible in the URL.
Technical explanation: it works with a generated random login password
with a timeout of 1800 seconds (half an hour), i.e. if you do nothing
during half an hour, the login password is unactivated; this limit time is
changeable by a new gwd option "-login_tmout". Note: this system does
not use cookies.
- [12 Mar 00] In ancestors page, added male and female lines.
- [11 Mar 00] In personal pages, the images defined by external URL (i.e.
accomodated in other Web sites) are now reduced as are local images.
- [11 Mar 00] The information "relationship to" is no more transformed
into "married to" when "non-friend" browsing (it was supposed to protect
private life, but seems to have more drawbacks than advantages).
- [09..10 Mar 00] In update family form, added ability to specify birth
place, death date and death place for parents and children.
- [08 Mar 00] Added latest marriages (accessible only by "wizards" and
"friends")
- [08 Mar 00] Added optional displaying of images in ancestors displaying
by tree.
- [05 Mar 00] In birthday anniversaries for close parents (accessible
in "cousin" page for "friends" and "wizards"), the links give now the
relationship trees, instead of the persons.
- [04 Mar 00] In person and family forms, added input area to specify
a number greater than 1 of titles and children to insert.
- [24 Feb 00] In latest births and deaths pages, display monthes.
- [02 Feb 00] In personal pages, relations are now displayed before notes.
- [20 Jan 00] When sorting the children, use now the baptism date
when there is no birth date.
- [18 Jan 00] Fixed bug: when selecting no data base, the default page
asks for a data base name, but in CGI mode when entering a data base,
it did not work (incorrect URL).
* Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb)
- [19 Feb 00] Added option "-uin" (untreated in notes) asking to put
unused Gedcom tags (of indiduals) in notes.
* Base configuration files (base.gwf)
- [24 Feb 00] Added variable "latest_event" to give the number of latest
events (births, deaths) displayed (default: 20).
- [25 Jan 00] Added variable "public_if_titles": if "yes", consider persons
having nobility titles as public ("public" means that their private data
is displayed even if their dates is less than 150 years). Warning: the
default of this variable is "no": it is a behavior change in GeneWeb,
relatively to previous versions (but don't worry: with this change,
private data is better protected).
* Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt)
- [10 Mar 00] Changed some Finnish translations (Antti Alfthan)
- [14 Feb 00] Changed the term "place" of nobility titles into "estate"
("domaine" in French), to avoid the confusion with the "place" of
"birth", "death", and so on. Changed also "all the places" into
"all the estates".
- [01 Feb 00] Fixed some Swedish translations (Lars Gustavsson)
- [26 Jan 00] Fixed several Portuguese translations (Jose Paulo Moitinho
de Almeida).
- [21 Jan 00] Changed the English displaying of dates into "day month
year", the displaying "month day year" being specific to the United
States and not used in other English speaking countries. American
users are invited to change the lexicon line for (date) if they
want an American display.
* Documentation
- [17..25 Feb 00] Added a new chapter "Keeping data divided inside a
database" (written by Lars Gustavsson: thanks, Lars!). Only
English and Swedish versions for the moment.
- [11 Feb 00] Changed some Swedish files (Lars Gustavsson).
- [03 Feb 00] In chapter "modifications" (update.htm), section 1,
added a footnote to explain that it is better to use western Europe
languages encoding (iso-8859-1) for a person's "key".

of the top person(s).

GeneWeb version 3.00
--------------------
New look for GeneWeb! Icon, default background, new structures of pages.
Thanks to Emmanuelle Visseaux.
* Languages
- [Oct 26, 99] Added Icelandic (╙lafur Sigurgeirsson).
* Setup program (gwsetup)
- [Oct 28, 99] Added option -p to select another port number (defaut: 2316).
* GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd)
- [Oct 24, 99] In display by surname, added a specific indication for
the branches whose ancestor has parents with a different surname, in order
to differentiate them with the branches whose ancestor has no parents.
- [Oct 21, 99] Added message "or Sosa number relative to x" when displaying
a relationship computing form if navigating with x as Sosa reference.
- [Oct 21, 99] Limit local images height to some maximum number of pixels
(currently 240). Not applied to distant (http://) images.
- [Oct 21, 99] Fixed bug: there was no automatic "wizard" (resp. "friend")
access in cgi mode when no "wizard" (resp. "friend") password was defined.
- [Oct 20, 99] Added option -a to give a specific IP address for the
service (must be compatible with the computer).
- [Oct 19, 99] Added treatment of png images files.
- [Oct 10, 99] In update form, when name conflict, added the birth and
death date in the list of persons having the same name.
- [Oct 8, 99] Added forum.
- [Oct 5, 99] Fixed links problems in some pages from the DOC
link (some problems found in the Swedish version).
- [Oct 5, 99] Added displaying of number of persons in ascends (short
display).
- [Oct 4, 99] Fixed displaying bug in update history (spot displayed due
to incorrect HTML).
- [Oct 3, 99] Added week day in "calendars" page.
* GeneWeb compiler (gwc)
- [Oct 26, 99] Added option -f, like in ged2gwb: by default now, if the data
base already exists, the program exits in error. If option -f is used
the old data base is overwritten.
* GeneWeb uncompiler (gwu)
- [Oct 24, 99] Added option -s to select all persons having a given surname
(option usable several times). Added associated option -nsp, not to select
the spouses' parents (what is done by default). These options has been
added in command gwb2ged too.
- [Oct 19, 99] Fixed bug: notes sometimes disappeared for godparents and co.
- [Oct 10, 99] Fixed bug: dates represented as text where not extracted
in the output file but on standard output.
* Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb)
- [Oct 13, 99] Added option "-fne" (for "first names enclosed"): it is
possible to give two characters telling that the usual first name parts
is between those characters: e.g. if they are of the form:
Bernard Jean "Philippe"
use -fne '""' and if they are:
Bernard Jean (Philippe)
use -fne '()', and so on.
* GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged)
- [Oct 24, 99] Added option -s to select all persons having a given surname
(option usable several times). Added associated option -nsp, not to select
the spouses' parents (what is done by default). These options has been
added in command gwu too.
- [Oct 5, 99] Changed the way the lines of notes are cut (by tag CONC).
The standard GEDCOM 5.5 tells that too long lines must be cut *inside*
words and not *between* words, to avoid starting or trailing spaces in
CONC lines. Gwb2ged did not do that: it is fixed.
To remain compatible with old GEDCOMS generated by GeneWeb, the ged2gwb
program is not changed: in CONC lines, the possible starting space remains
included in the note (what does not respect the standard, shame on
me).
* Base configuration files (base.gwf)
- [Oct 30, 99] Deleted variable "enclosing_tag" defined in version 2.05
on July 18, 99. Reason: complicated the code => too many risks of operation
bugs. Sorry for the ones who used it.
- [Oct 29, 99] Added a variable "propose_titles" (yes by default). When
set to "no", the search by (nobility) titles is not proposed in the
welcome page.
* Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt)
- [Oct 31, 99] [technical point] Changed the conditional macros in
the welcome pages, now between %I and %E.

Oliveira Barroso).
- [Oct 12, 99] Fixed and completed some Norwegian phrases (Brynjulf
Langballe).
- [Oct 4..10, 99] Fixed and completed some Dutch phrases (Joris Esch).
- [Oct 4, 99] Fixed some German phrases (Falko Trojahn).
* Documentation

of the welcome page. Chapter "customization of pages", section "macros".
GeneWeb version 2.07

language by writing it in uppercase letters, some phrases where
displayed in English language between brackets (no matter which
language was selected), indicating that the language was not found
in the lexicon.
* GeneWeb Service/CGI (gwd)
- [Oct 1, 99] Fixed bug: the pages from the "DOC" link were
sometimes not correctly displayed with certain browsers (HTTP headers
were missing).
- [Sep 24, 99] Added history for updates (option to be set in file base.gwf).

"Marie de Rohan Chabot" or "Liesse de Rohan Chabot". Works partially,
i.e. only if the classic search failed.
- [Sep 17, 99] Can use now special characters for wizard/friend passwords
in CGI mode (before, it worked only in service mode).

"wizard" and "friend" access, by specifying authorization file names in
the "base.gwf" file.
- [Sep 8, 99] Fixed bug: in descendant displaying, if the person has
quotes in his name, the displaying was sometimes wrong.
- [Sep 8, 99] In "DOC" links, in the bottom of the pages, the links
with Email addresses did not work correctly. Fixed.
* Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb)
- [Sep 28, 99] By default now, if a data base with the same name already
exists, does not erase it and exits in error. Added option -f to
overwrite the old version.
* Consanguinity computing (consang)
- [Sep 17..19, 99] Run faster when no modifications have been done (e.g. just
after the creation of the data base).

and LISEZMOI.txt (French), added a few lines of explanations for starting
with GeneWeb.
- [Jul 15, 99] Changed internal representation of strings in data bases.
Should not make any differences while browsing. However, as it is a major
internal change in the program, problems may appear (mainly in displaying
or in access by name, first name, surname, title...): please report if any
problem.
* Setup program
- [Jul 18, 99] Added in the menu "data base parameters" the ability to
display the characters in the pages 1/ in bold, 2/ in italic, 3/ in
smaller or bigger size (using the new key 'enclosing_tag': see below
section "base configuration files"). Bold is useful, for example, if

- [Aug 3, 99] Added ancestors displaying (and navigating) by tree.
- [Aug 3, 99] In relationship by branches, found a solution to
display the vertical bars correctly aligned relative to the
horizontal bars (works at least with Netscape, IE, Kfm).
- [Aug 2, 99] In relationship displaying, can make the difference in
the lexicon between father's and mother's side (used in Swedish, where
there are different words for "uncle", "aunt", "great-uncle" and
"great-aunt" depending on they are on father's or mother's side).
- [Aug 1, 99] Added relationships computing by marriage.
- [Jul 28, 99] In "cousins" pages, added link to uncles and aunts, nephews

when several marriages and one of them with an unknown ("? ?") person.
- [Jul 18, 99] When updating families, the "sources" field is propagated

- [Jul 18, 99] Fixed small bug for the access by subparts of surnames
(it sometimes accepted too small subparts: then the "search" could
give weird results).
- [Jul 17, 99] In welcome page, now search by surname when search by
full name fails (no need to select "surname"). Idem in relationship
computing.
- [Jul 17, 99] Fixed bug: could not access person after having changed his
name, in some circumstances, e.g. changing the surname "L'epine" (in
two words) into "Lepine" (one word).
- [Jul 16, 99] Added a "back" button in case of update error (useful
for browsers which loose the contents of the forms when navigating).
- [Jul 15..29, 99] In relationship computing, added a long display,
the ability to see the spouses in branches displaying, and the ability
to cancel GeneWeb links.
- [Jul 15, 99] Added system of grammar declinations (required by German,
Esperanto, Czech). Changed the lexicon to use this new system.
- [Jul 9, 99] Added link (upper arrow) to welcome page in displayings by
first names and surnames.
- [Jul 9, 99] Fixed date check for possible father when interval (i.e. was
telling "incorrect" when father died between 1250 and 1260 and son born
in 1255).

* GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged)
- [Jul 15, 99] Added option "-charset" whose values can be "ANSEL" or
"ASCII": "ASCII" is the default. Deleted option "-ascii" now unuseful.
- [Jul 2, 99] Generate now dates of the form "FROM..TO.." for titles.
* Base configuration files (base.gwf)
- [Jul 18, 99] Added the key 'enclosing_tag' to enclose whole displayed
text with one or several HTML tags. E.g. by setting it to 'strong', all
text is displayed bold. Added comment about that in the template file
"a.gwf".
* Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt) and Welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt)
- [Aug 5, 99] Updated Portuguese phrases (Yves Guignard)
- [Aug 5..6, 99] Updated Norwegian phrases (Brynjulf Langballe)
- [Aug 3, 99] Updated Danish phrases (Hans Albeck)

GeneWeb version 2.04
--------------------
* Setup program
- [Jun 28, 99] Fixed bug: did not work for directories holding spaces.
- [Jun 19, 99] Changed GEDCOM import menu to reflect new option "-charset"
of "ged2gwb" (see below in section "Gedcom to GeneWeb").
- [Jun 18, 99] Added a color combination in the provided palette
whiteyellow, black, bluegreen and brown (thanks to Hans Albeck)
* GeneWeb Daemon/CGI (gwd)
- [Jun 30, 99] Added the ability to enter a Sosa number in the welcome page
when navigating with someone as Sosa reference number (still available from
its "ancestors" page).
- [Jun 30, 99] In relationship links, display common ancestors in a more
canonical order.
- [Jun 28, 99] Due to optimization in consanguinity computing (see below),
the answer time of relationship computing for persons without relationship
links is generally faster (it answers: "no relationship links" faster).
- [Jun 26, 99] Added the ability to access persons having composed surnames
by subparts of their surname: e.g. "Josephine Tascher de La Pagerie" can
now be found by typing just "Josephine Tascher" or "Josephine de La
Pagerie".
- [Jun 25, 99] Added short (horizontal) display for surnames by
alphabetic order + ability to cancel GeneWeb links (for creation of
static HTML pages).
- [Jun 22, 99] Fixed bug: send image in CGI mode did not work.
- [Jun 19..28, 99] Added in ancestors long display the ability to select
and unselect the displaying of siblings and the displaying of notes.
- [Jun 19, 99] Changed presentation of ancestors displaying main menu.
* Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb)
- [Jun 21, 99] Fixed bug: couples could sometimes be recorded as divorced,
even if not (when there was a "1 DIV" field without DATE and PLAC in the
gedcom file).
- [Jun 19, 99] Can now read MSDOS accentuated characters encoding. Added
option "-charset" which can be followed by "ANSEL", "ASCII" or "MSDOS".
Removed options "-ansel" and "-no_ansel".
Warning: in GEDCOM files, the charset "IBMPC" (which is not standard
GEDCOM 5.5) is by default interpreted as "ASCII", *not* "MSDOS"; to
override this default, the option "-charset MSDOS" will have to be used.
* Consanguinity computing (consang)
- [Jun 28, 99] Optimized code: it is twice faster (on average) now.
* Lexicon (lang/lexicon.txt)
- [Jun 30, 99] Translations added in Italian (Daniel Hirshkoff).
- [Jun 18..Jul 1, 99] Translations improvements in Danish (Hans Albeck).
* Documentation
- [Jun 30, 99] Updated Dutch documentation (Joris Esch).
GeneWeb version 2.03
--------------------
* Setup program
- [Jun 7, 99] Added a Spanish version (Luis Castro Guzman).
- [Jun 1, 99] The location to open is now always "http://localhost:2316/",

- [May 7, 99] Fixed bug: "cleanup" under Windows did not work.
* GeneWeb aemon/CGI (gwd)
- [Jun 7, 99] No more (stupid) abbreviation for "Number" in update forms:
Did not work for many languages.
- [Jun 3, 99] Added ability to use a new predefined term "+before" in the
lexicon to specify the complement is before a verb (e.g. in German:
"send" "image" is translated into "senden +before" "Bild", which gives
at end: "Bild senden"; same solution for Dutch).
- [May 31, 99] In ancestors only selected generation, added displaying
of Sosa intervals (and "..." is displayed for non-contiguous intervals).
- [May 18, 99] Added, in ancestors and descendants displaying, the ability
to cancel GeneWeb links. Useful to extract a Web page for a site without
GeneWeb server.
- [May 16, 99] Fixed bug: in ascendants long displaying, did not display
the last possible generation.
- [May 15, 99] Added a "?" at end of empty requests (with just the data base
name) because of too smart browsers which automatically add a "/" at end
of the address in this case (transforming e.g. "http://host/base" into
"http://host/base/"), what makes the request not working.
- [May 14, 99] Fixed bug: in personal pages, the term "died" was sometimes
missing when there was only a death place but no death date. Happened
for persons born more than 120 years ago.
- [May 12, 99] Fixed problem in CGI mode under Windows: sometimes displayed
warning texts on the page.
- [May 11, 99] Fixed bug: advanced search worked bad when neither "wizard"
nor "friend": did not work when only specifying e.g. a first name
or a surname of an existing (non "public") person.
- [May 11, 99] Fixed bug: when adding ";opt=no_index" in URLs like explained
in the doc ("How to put links to your base"), the used language was
missing in the new URL.

- [May 19, 99] Fold notes lines at 255 characters (required by GEDCOM
standard) adding CONC.
* Consanguinity computing (consang)
- [May 23, 99] Does not restart from scratch when changes: compute
only what's necessary.
* Documentation
- [May 13..31, 99] Updated Swedish documentation (Lars Gustavsson).
GeneWeb Version 2.02
--------------------
* New feature
- [May 4, 99] Added a new program "setup" which will allow to
use a lot of commands without having to type magic incantations in a
MSdos (Windows) or Xterm (Unix) window. Everything is done in the Web
navigator: creation of a database, extraction of a GEDCOM file, cleanup,
etc etc.
Should be convenient for non computer scientists beginners (and even for
old timers computer scientists who already know GeneWeb).
* General
- [Apr 22, 99] Added Danish language (by Hans Albeck).
* GeneWeb Daemon/CGI (gwd)
- [May 6, 99] Fixed bad behavior: in "modify person" form, a person was

a first name for corresponding surnames starting with an accentuated
letter.
- [Apr 29, 99] Accept now files in image field ending with ".jpeg" and
".JPEG" (accepted before only with ".jpg" and ".JPG").
- [Apr 29, 99] Fixed bug: when a persons first name, last name and number
is the same as another person, GeneWeb shows a warning and suggests a new
number. If the new number is selected, all special signs were
transformed into codes.
- [Apr 29, 99] Fixed small uncomfortable feature: when trying to save an
image from a GeneWeb page, the browsers did not propose a correct file
name to save this image (due to request syntax).
- [Apr 29, 99] Added ability to change the first name and the surname
of all children of a person in one only form. See new doc.
- [Apr 26, 99] Fixed upload of "jpeg" files which sometimes did not work

point "add parents" to number 6), added section 5.8 for explanations.
GeneWeb Version 2.01
--------------------

is displayed.
- [Apr 19, 99] In latest births and latest deaths displaying, the
dates with just the year or just the month and the year are also taken
into account.
- [Apr 17, 99] Improved relationship branches displaying to be readable
with Lynx (terminal browser without tables).
- [Apr 16, 99] When merging persons, the lowest number is proposed by
default.
- [Apr 16, 99] Added long display for ancestors.
- [Apr 13, 99] Fixed bug in personal pages: for people having a public

bad in case of accents. Fixed other bug same kind: in advanced
request, research did not work if accents were used...

displayed just as "...".
- [Apr 2, 99] Fixed bug: in missing ancestors in alphabetic order, the
accents in surnames were incorrectly displayed.

- [Mar 17, 99] In person modification form, determines whether a person
is died or not (if not specified), according to his age.
- [Mar 16-19, 99] The presence of images in pages does not block any
more the display of the text. For example, in welcome pages, the text
does not wait for the displaying of the flags to be displayed, which
is much more comfortable. (This applies only for local images).
- [Mar 14, 99] In anniversaries, in the list of months, the selected
month is now the current month, not always January.
* Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb)
- [Apr 2, 99] Added the automatic computation that a person is died or
not (if not indicated in the gedcom), according to the person's age,
and deleted the option "-nd".
- [Mar 31, 99] Added option "-log" to redirect output.
- [Mar 20, 99] Added options for dates where months are represented by
numbers: -dates_dm when day before month and -dates_md when month

- [Mar 18..Apr 13, 99] Swedish version updated (Lars Gustavsson).
- [Mar 17, 99] Changed documentation for the new feature "automatic choice"

to "gwd" to change the user or group id after socket bind. This allows
for example to use the port 80 (root needed) but accessing data as
normal user.
GeneWeb Version 2.00

were often truncated.
* Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb)
- [Feb 14, 99] Assumed wrongly that all families were defined after
individuals, because it is often the case in Gedcom files. But this is
not mandatory in definition Gedcom 5.5. Fixed.
- [Feb 6, 99] Accept dates with "/" (20/11/1993) although it is not
standard Gedcom 5.5. Interpreted as day/month/year.
* GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged)
- [Feb 26, 99] Fixed error: the first name alias if any was always saved
in the gedcom as first name. Now saved only as first name if it starts
with the first name (e.g. if first name = "John" and first name alias =
"John Philip Robert").
* GeneWeb compiler (gwc)
- [Feb 19, 99] The option "-cg" did not work. Fixed.

as:
<a href="%sp=john;n=smith">John Smith</a>
- [Jan 11, 99] Display declined forms (for some languages). E.g.:
* in German: "x ist ein Sohn von einem Cousin von y"
("einem" instead of the inkorrect "ein").

("personon" instead of the incorrect "persono")
* GeneWeb compiler (gwc)
- [Jan 26, 99] Fixed bug: failure when backslashes in source.

someone in Gedcom, the other become "aliases" (and vice versa for
gwb2ged).

were sometimes not found.
- [08/01/99] Changed term "consanguinity" into "relationship" in
relationship computing (because confusion with the usual meaning of
the term "consanguinity").

the daemon (or the CGI) is launched but in the base directory (option -bd
of gwd; no difference if option -bd not used).
- [13/12/98] In relationship links, display the ancestor couple (if both
are ancestors).

GeneWeb Version 1.09
--------------------
* Inside databases
--- Precisions of dates now apply not only for years, but for complete
date. E.g. "maybe on september 1815" or "after september 23, 1815".
--- In dates, added case "between": between year and another year.
- Structure of databases have been changed for these two above points.
- Area "comment" in families is now kept even if there are children.
* Gedcom to GeneWeb (ged2gwb)
- Delete of duplicated FAMS which sometimes happen in erroneous Gedcoms.
- Delete families from GEDCOM when parents dont have the good sex.
- Added displaying of line number when syntax errors and unrecognized dates.
- Get sources if defined by pointer (but just the 1st line).
- Added option "-no_nd" (no negative dates), not to interpret years preceded
by a minus sign as negative dates.
* GeneWeb to Gedcom (gwb2ged)
- Added option "-ascii" to output in ASCII encoding instead of ANSEL.
* Gedcom to GeneWeb and GeneWeb to Gedcom (ged2gwb, gwb2ged)
- The <em>GeneWeb</em> fields "public name", "surname alias" and
"photo" are now loaded from and saved to Gedcom resp. as: "2 GIVN",
"2 SURN" and "1 OBJE (newline) 2 FILE".
* GeneWeb daemon/CGI (gwd)
--- Added alibity to specify someone as Sosa reference. Then the Sosa
number is printed in navigation when displaying ancestors. Thanks to
Emmanuelle Visseaux for this idea.
--- Restructuration of displaying of surnames and first names by alphabetic
order and frequency. Fixed bug of bad alphabetic order when first names
and surnames with accents. Access in indexes faster.
- In list by title places, added clickable "The whole list" giving the
list of all persons associated with this place, whatever the title.
- Descendants display limited to 12 generations in all cases (else too much
text or too long to answer).
- Added error message in relationship computing when loop in
database (someone being his/her own ancestor).
- In "search", added ability to write "I" instead of "Ier" (french form).
Ex: "Charles I" or "Charles Ier" are both accepted.
- Added ability to add ";opt=no_index" at end of requests to get an
equivalent link independant from the persons' index number (useful
to put direct links in Web pages).
- Added text "Parents of" in top of pages of missing ancestors.
- Fixed still several bugs (accents) due to new ANSEL encoding.
* Base configuration files (xxx.cnf)
- Added variable "wizard_just_friend" to suspend the powers of
"wizards" (e.g. for maintenance): when set to "yes", they become
simple "friends" (default: "no").
- Variable "renamed" can be used to specify that a database has been
renamed. Generates a page giving the good URL to use.
* GeneWeb compiler and Consanguinity computing (gwc, consang)
- Fixed accents displaying in traces and error messages.
* Welcome pages (start.txt)
- Fixed wrong displaying of number of accesses in spanish (es) and
portuguese (pt) versions.
- Display thousand separators in numbers of accesses.

for a date, the day and month part are ignored, since its works only for
years (for the moment).
- photos and background in directory "images" can be installed in a
subdirectory having the name of the database; ex: "images/martin" for
the database "martin".

- added option -nd setting flag "not dead" instead of "don't know if dead"
for personal records where "DEAT" exists but is empty.

versions of Windows 95, "gwd" started normally, but when opening
the site in the navigator, the site was found but the navigator was
waiting and waiting forever.
- When updating a person, if the "notes" field holds only a newline,
the request is rejected => fixed. Moreover some browsers add this "bad"
newline if the notes fields is empty => fixed.

GeneWeb Version 1.0
-------------------
CGI mode is Ok.

---------------------------
Still intermediate version to perfect "CGI" mode.
* gwd:

GeneWeb Version 1.0 beta.9
--------------------------
Intermediate version to perfect "CGI" mode under Windows NT.
* More documentation
* gwd:
- cgi is detected by the presence of environment variable QUERY_STRING.
It seems that .bat files is not accepted in Web servers in Windows NT,
so one must use "gwd" itself.
- if "gwd" is installed in cgi directory, and is renamed, e.g. "geneweb.exe",
ability to add a file named "geneweb.arg" holding some lines
* the first line if existing holds the name of the directory
where "lang" is installed
* the second line if existing holds the name of the directory
where the databases are installed
* the third line, if existing, may hold the string "cgi" telling
that gwd must run on "cgi" mode, even if QUERY_STRING is
not set
- added option -bd: bases directory
- no error message now if background not found
* Deleted "add/person" in update (gwd) and in welcome pages (lang/*/start.txt)
=> impossibility now to directly create isolated persons. This is because
it often leads to manipulation errors. To add a new baby, use "modify
family" from one of his parents' personal record.
