Brand-New Version Of Dynastree!

We have just deployed a brand-new version of dynastree! A wide range of minor, and, well, major bugs has been fixed, and we have also added some interesting new features. All category 1 features from the list created from your suggestions were added, except for the chat. You can find that list here.

We will be elaborating on the new features over the next few days, and you can find an overview below:

View-only invitations:

  • Premium users can now invite people as view-only guests to their family tree. Such users can then view the whole family tree without being able to edit it, and no further persons can be invited by view-only users.

Flippable profile cards:

  • More information is now displayed on the profile cards, such as partner, anniversary, date of death or burial, and much more.

Date of funeral

  • There is a new field in the profiles for adding the date of the funeral.

Baptistery

  • There is now a now field in the profiles for adding the baptistery.

Add custom events

  • You can now add whatever event you like to a profile, should you not find what you are looking for in the fields we provided.

Name day

  • The name day can be added to a profile, and it is also added to the calender. A reminder can be set as well.

Online/offline display

  • A new display on your homepage shows who is currently viewing or editing the tree.

Kekulè number

  • The Kekulè number, a genealogical standard number for labeling different generations, is now displayed, starting from one’s own profile.

New logoff page with all surname maps

  • All available surname maps are now displayed after you have logged off, and you can search for any name anywhere via the select box.

Web profiles

  • A lot of new social networks like Facebook or MySpace can now be added under “Contacts” in one’s profile.

Accents in the search

  • Accents are now ignored by the search function to provide a wider range of results.

GEDCOM-export including profile pictures

  • Premium users can now export their tree including the profile pictures that have been added, and these are also displayed in our Home Edition desktop software.

    Very nice. Especially the profile picture export to the Home Edition. This saves a lot of work. I recommend everyone to upgrade to a premium user (even for a short time) to download your gedcom WITH photos. Now, if only the photo albums WITH tags can be exported………?

    I will put the export of photo albums on the list for future features, good point! Remember that we are still offering a free 14-day trial subscription under no obligation, so it really is the right point of time for backing up your tree including the profile pictures!
