Gramps 4.0.0 Beta released.
One month after Gramps 4.0.0 alpha5, the Gramps Developers have released:
The first Gramps 4.0.0 beta release. This is a preview, so use for testing!"
It is recommended to use Gramps 4.0.0 with python 3.2 so as to be ready
for the future (python 2.7 works though).
The dependencies for Gramps 4.0.0 are completely different than 3.4 due
to the switch to GObject introspection, and the removal of autotools. So
only install 4.0.0 if you are certain you can obtain the dependencies,
see README and INSTALL.
Major enhancements in Gramps 4.0.0:
