What's new for 3.5:
-------------------
1. Found and corrected potential latent bug in pedigree chart creation.
It was remotely possible for the charted person's name to have been
derived from a source different from that which was being used to
produce the remainder of the pedigree information.
2. Eliminated all global variables from the program. Global constants
are still present. Program is now inherently "pure".
3. Inserted a statement to have the program automagically allocate the
correct initial stack space; stack value in the icon is no longer
relevant.
4. Corrected an error which crept into the find_person operations
during the changing of the alerters. Program thought it was always
doing a wild-card search of the entire data set and never finding
a match.
5. Corrected another error which crept in while changing the window
operations. Edit person was not working correctly.
6. Added a verification prompt when deleting a person.
7. Revised "new project" such that no icon creation is attempted if
starting of new family is cancelled.
8. Added capability to produce pedigree chart output via Final Writer.
This allows those not having a landscape printing orientation
capability and/or those wishing to produce a "prettier" pedigree
chart to do so. Requires Final Writer (not included).

9. Revised the copyright information.
10. Made extensive internal changes to the graphical aspects of the
program.
11. Revised the handling of the submitter/creator information for the
pedigree chart and Gedcom output. The information is now requested
only if you have not previously entered it since starting the pro-
gram and the same information will be used in succeeding invocations
of the pedigree chart and/or Gedcom output operations. This elimi-
nates the annoyance of having to repeatedly enter your name and
other info for each chart or data set you wish to produce in a
given session.
12. Revised the chart number entry process for pedigree charts such
that any identifier up to 12 characters can be entered. This
eliminates the restriction that the identifier having to be
numeric.
13. Made several corrections to the Gedcom import/read operation:
a. Failure to delete .problems file when no problems found.
b. Family and file name requests not being handled correctly;
family name wasn't even being used after being requested.
c. Failure to validate file when initiated from the CLI.
d. Output files were not being sent to the correct directory.
e. Family name and file path were not being separated correctly.
14. Corrected a problem with file name requests. This problem may
have been the source of a problem some people were having in
getting the program to work at all.
15. Corrected the operations of the data entry processes (add person,
add spouse, et al) such that string gadgets' content is actually
used by the program. This was another source of failure for some
people.
