This Discourse Development Beta subforum allows users to share their experiences while beta testing the Gramps genealogy software. Beta releases are experimental pre-release versions of software that are being shared for public comment and feedback.
The key word is experimental!
It might be unwise to “upgrade” your main/real Gramps family tree into any experimental pre-release version. In general, we recommend you make a backup copy of your family tree instead (typically by doing a “gramps XML” export), then try the beta release on the copy. (You can keep things really separate by using the GRAMPSHOME environmental variable, if you want.)
We are interested in your feedback, especially if you discover any bugs or problems which we haven’t noticed.
