v6.1.0-beta1

Version 6.1.0-beta1, an experimental pre-release.

Make sure to backup before you upgrade.

The key word is experimental!

It might be unwise to "upgrade" your main/real Gramps family tree into 6.1.0-beta1. In general, we recommend you make a copy of your family tree instead (typically by doing a "gramps XML" export), then try 6.1.0-beta1 on the copy. (You can keep things really separate by using the GRAMPSHOME environmental variable, if you want.)

The primary purpose of this release is to verify that our Gramps-FamilySearch Integration meets compatibility requirements. Authentication keys will only issued to the public after we pass compliance checks.

Anyone can test all other functionality.

We are interested in your feedback, especially if you discover any bugs or problems which we haven't noticed.
