Testing 4.2

[Timo]

This is an early testrelease for the upcoming 4.2.0 version. The reason is a big change in how pedigrees will be generated and printed. See the highlights for more information.

Highlights

1. Pedigree print setup

A whole new way how pedigrees are generated for printing. A new window with numerous settings to customise the pedigree. From font sizes and font colours to layout changes and selecting which data to show. All this in one window with a live preview. This is a massive improvement over the few settings in the preferences window, which was cumbersome and limited.

This new feature is accessible through the pedigree window or File=>Print=>Pedigree in the menubar.

Note: This feature is still in heavy development. Feedback is welcome!


2. Database manager redesign

The database manager at startup has had a complete overhaul.

3. Database repair tool

A new tool has been added to repair common errors in the database.
