GRAMPS 3 is the newest version of GRAMPS, but it isn't quite finished. It is in a state called "beta" which means that it is nearly done, but there are still places that need some refinement. You can help by trying this version and reporting feedback and bugs. Before embarking on this you should first read this page.
A word of caution: GRAMPS 3.0 is currently considered a ''development version'' and not for use on your real data. You can test GRAMPS 3.0
on a copy of your data though. See below for more details.
You should not ''install'' GRAMPS 3.0 as that will overwrite your regular GRAMPS. However, you can download and compile 3.0 locally, largely without interfering with your regular GRAMPS. Subtle interactions are easy to resolve for developers. Currently it is known that:
# closing GRAMPS 3.0 on the Noteview will crash GRAMPS 2.2.10 on startup
# create a filter in GRAMPS 3.0 that does not exist in 2.2.10 will cause problems
There are easy ways to fix these, however. Having given these warnings, it is also true that every week it gets closer to completion and we need testers. So, weigh the pros and cons and decide for yourself if you'd like to be an earlier adopter and tester.
