0.8b2 (August 2004)
- faster execution of AppleScript command "remove people from group"

of a large number of people in a sub-group window.

every person of document 1 whose full name contains "Beryl"

- new options for the 'export' AppleScript command:
- export group -- the group to export
into alias -- Destination folder
[as web site/RTF/GEDCOM] -- the kind of export - default GEDCOM
[without notes for a list of person] -- list of people whose NOTEs should be omitted
[without children for a list of person] -- list of people whose children should NOT be listed in their family groups
[without mentioning a list of person] -- list of people who should NOT be listed in their parents' family groups
[with email addresses obscure/clear] -- obscure (the default) or clear text email addresses in exported NOTE and URL fields
- much faster Add Ancestors To Group and similar commands
- Add Spouses now adds the other spouses of the spouses, and so on
(is this nice?)
- fixed odd "bold" drawing of footnotes on X

inconsistently
- generated biography web pages are HTML 4.01 transitional compliant
- generated surname web pages are HTML 4.01 t. compliant
- command-clicking URLs now always opens the URL, rather than extending
or shrinking the selection. It changes the selection to the URL that
you click on - I'm not really happy with this -
should it be, say, alt-command-click?
- command-' now opens selected URLs (previously it opened all URLs)
- expiry date now 31 Mar 2005
- outstanding problems:
- dragging large numbers of people to group windows v slow
- pasting notes onto source citations in FAM records not enabled

- the 'without' options for HTML export and obscured email addresses are
not done for GEDCOM exports

- Fixed bug where, in a biog window that shows a picture, footnotes
would have unnecessarily short lines.
- HTML export (see separate document)
- Clearer treatment of source citations - it's no longer possible to
get a blank citation. There's a longer description of Sources, citations
