Personal Ancestry Writer II 88 has been released.
Changes:
• This is the first version of PAWriter that is a universal binary compilation, and its file name is changed to PAW2U. It reads and writes the same data files used by PAW2 and PAW2X. Much internal re-coding was necessarily accomplished in this move to the universal binary version. Universal binaries run on both PowerPC Macs and Intel Macs without Rosetta.
• This universal binary version should run well on G3s, G4s, G5s and Intel Macs under MacOS 10.3.x (Panther), 10.4.x (Tiger), 10.5.x (Leopard), 10.6.x (Snow Leopard without Rosetta) and future versions of the MacOS. (I’ve alpha tested it on Intel iMacs running Leopard and on a G4 eMac running Panther.) I believe this version of PAWriter runs significantly faster than previous versions on any of the above-named platforms.
• The About PAWriter Help and the PAWriter Reference Guide menu items were moved to a new Help menu.
• The Reference Guide is now part of the PAW2U file (it’s "bundled"). You can click on the Reference button in the main window or choose Help menu > PAWriter Reference Guide or press command-' in major windows to launch the Reference Guide in Safari. The Reference Guide now displays with two panes in the browser window: a table of contents in the left pane and the selected entry in the right pane. The contents of the guide has been reviewed and revised as necessary with all new images included.
• The creator for HTML files was changed to "udog" in order to launch Safari. Of course, you can change the default brower in Safari preferences or in an HTML file's Get Info window.
• Many subordinate windows such as alerts and various dialogs were made into "sheet" windows, which drop down within the containing window.
• You can now control-click (right-click with most mice) anywhere in notes and the Edit menu will popup, with all of its relevant menu items available for selection.
• Possible problems in notes and any linkage problems are now completely listed in new scrolling windows.
• Notes in family group sheets for parents are not duplicated in multiple marriages.
• "Faster open and save dialogs" and their preference item were removed.
• A few obscure errors that had gone undetected prior to this version were corrected.
• Since there have been numerous complaints about the previous default background color of turquoise, the default has been changed to the more neutral crayon color named Silver (a light gray). A suggested compatible highlight color option in the system preference Appearance panel is Graphite. But feel free to change the background color in PAWriter preferences and/or the highlight color in system preferences to whatever is pleasing to you.
