June 10, 2008: The first version 1.0 of the "Relatives" released.

July 3, 2008: The first bug fixed - thanks to William Page who found it. The program didn't import GEDCOM files properly, if they had Byte Order Mark (BOM) in the beginning of the file. Some programs (Personal Ancestral File (PAF), for example) wrote these marks (2 or 3 bytes) when saving files in UTF-8 or UNICODE encoding. Actually it is not needed and it's not clear why PAF does it at all, because the file header specifies the encoding (CHAR tag) anyway, but... nothing can be done... we have to live with this... Because Byte Order Marks are not a part of the text but only define the byte order they remain not visible in normal text editors, e.g. in Windows Notepad...

August 6, 2008. Version 1.1 of the program has been released. The progress bar has beed improved, some bugs fixed. The main difference from version 1.0 is an ability to export in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). This will allow users to create and publish scalable, interactive genealogic trees on the Internet pages. Files in SVG format can be imported to vector graphic programs (Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW) or sent to a printing shop for printing on wide-format plotters.

August 19, 2008. Version 1.1.0.2. GEDCOM import/export ANSEL codepage has been corrected. The codepages have been put in proper order: standard GEDCOM codepages (ANSEL, UTF-8, UNICODE, ASCII) are in the begining of the list now. As before the program allows to use non-standard (for GEDCOM) codepages (Western European (Windows), Cyrillic (Windows), etc.) as well.
