Subject: [Gramps-announce] New release in the 1.1 unstable series (fwd)
========== Forwarded message ==========
We have just released version 1.1.1 in the GRAMPS unstable series. This release
is not intended for mainstream use. It is an early preview release of the
forthcoming 1.2 release.
This release supports the new database backend based on the Berkeley DB
database. It also supports direct editing of GEDCOM and GRAMPS XML files.
If you have been using an earlier version of 1.1 (such as 1.1.0), you will need
to save your data in GRAMPS XML format before upgrading. After upgrading
reimport your data. The underlying database format has changed (and may
continue to do so until 1.2 is released).
Version 1.1.1 -- the "Rat cake, rat sorbet, rat pudding, or strawberry tart"
release
* GeneWeb Import/Export filters (Martin Hawlisch), GeneWeb mime type.
* Rework of the Date support. Separate classes for parsing and display,
allowing easy localization not limited to English sentences.
Utilization of locale info for numerical date parsing and display.
New DateEditor dialog for building precise date when parsing fails.
* Lots of stuff ported over from STABLE, see NEWS in stable version for
details.
* Installation improvements
* Removal of PIL dependency.
* Numerous interface improvements.
* In-memory editing for GRAMPS XML and GEDCOM data.
* Proper support for same sex relationships.
* Proper use of GConf: schemas with the description strings,
partitioning of the preferences into subdirectories, error checking,
change notifications.
* New "Save as" wizard interface: replaces old Export and Save as
options. Note: this is still unfinished at the 1.1.1 release time,
please be patient.
* New Find interface for People View.
* Switch to internal IDs. These are universally unique and not
user-visible. The user-visible GRAMPS IDs are kept and are editable
now.
* Re-design of Open and Import options. Both will take any format now.
Open will start a new database with the specified data. Import will
incorporate new data into the currently opened database.
* Mime types and icons for gramps package and GEDCOM files.
* Pedigree View has person-dependent submenus in the context menu:
Spouses, Siblings, Children, and Parents.
* Command line arguments handling is back on track.
* Sorting improvements.
* Huge number of bug fixes.

Subject: Version 3.0 update of Advanced Bash Scripting Guide
Announcing the version 3.0 release of the "Advanced Bash Scripting Guide."
This e-book tutorial and reference is the equivalent of a 604-page
print book. With 299 illustrative examples (including such goodies as an
anti-spammer script), the book covers virtually every aspect of scripting.
This e-book now contains printable reference cards, just like commercially
available computer tutorials.
The author invites comparisons with *any* of the commercially printed books on
shell scripting. His aim was to write "best of category" documentation.
"This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of
scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an
intermediate/advanced level of instruction ...all the while
sneaking in little snippets of UNIX wisdom and lore. It serves
as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference
and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The
exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader
participation, under the premise that the only way to really
learn scripting is to write scripts."

This means the book is *free* and freely distributable.
