Some of the exciting new features:
  • Added Adobe PDF file export for all reports.
    Added Soundex and Metaphone searches. This allows users to search for similar sounding surnames.
    Added Soundex and Metaphone code calculator.
    Families can be arranged into selectable "Layers". This allows the user to "grey out" all families except the ones he wants to work on.

    Options to include full names and marriage dates in the family rectangles.
    New status bar shows zoom %, current layer and current family selection.
