Enhancements

New Features in Version 1.7

1. Index Navigation Links: Navigate index pages more quickly. Flip from one to five pages at a time in either direction. This makes moving through the index easier especially for those with hundreds of individuals under one surname. Also, the word "continued" is now a link when index entries are continued on the next page.

2. Child Links: A child's name can now appear as the link to that child's family page. See Use child's name as link to child's family page under Attributes | Links.

3. Individual Reference Numbers: Display reference numbers for individuals. These numbers are generated and assigned by your genealogy software. See Display reference numbers for individuals under Features | Surnames & Index.

4. Names of Months: Month names can now be converted from the default GEDCOM format to their full names (e.g., "JAN" becomes "January"). For international users, the month is also translated to your language. See Convert GEDCOM month names under Program | Dates.

5. Family Reference Numbers: Many genealogy programs do not create family reference numbers consistently when you export a GEDCOM file. This may interfere with links to your family pages you have on your other personal web pages. It also affects family-level custom features like narrative links, imported text and group images.

   Now either "User Reference Numbers" or "Record ID Numbers" can be used to identify families. See Family Page References under Program | GEDCOM.

6. Options Set Summary: You can now view a summary of all your GED-GEN option settings. The Options Set Display (OSD) utility, formerly a separate program, is now incorporated into GED-GEN. See Summary on the Files tab.

7. Link Destinations: File names within hypertext links can now be forced to all lower-case characters. This avoids a "Page not found" error due to different file naming conventions between Windows and UNIX computer systems. See Use lower-case destination file names on the Attributes | Links tab.
