Genealogy Software Updates of the Week
GEDitCOM II 1.8 (Full Featured - Mac - Purchase)
• New menu command to empty cache used for Place Advisor display.
• Improved relationship calculations. The calculations are now symmetric between two individuals, and certain relations (that were not really unique) are now removed.
• The method used to control labeling in tree chart view compared to tree outline view has been changed from the previous, cumbersome trick of inserting a special character at the start of the label to a more intuitive pop-up menu under the column name.
• Minor bug fixes in scripts ("Event Place for Window Records" and "Create Web Site") and in one interface format ("Default Format").
• The search panel remains visible now when you switch to a different application.
Irish Church Records 1.2 (Mobile - Freeware)
• iPhone 5 & iOS 6 compatibility.
• Fixed display bug when choosing contacts for email.
iScrapbook 3.3.8 (Family Pictures - Mac - Purchase)

• Fixed clipping issues that occur only under Mountain Lion when dragging images around the design canvas.
