Version **5.1.4** - a **new maintenance release** , has been released.

**Make sure to [backup](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_make_a_backup) before you upgrade.**

Changes since v5.1.3:

- Update translations: cs, de, es, fi, fr, hu, nl, pt\_BR, ru, sv, zh\_CN.
- Update copyright date.
- Fix probably alive if death without date.
- Place editor, copy and paste of lat and long text no longer auto-populating latitude and longitude fields.
- Fix for crash when changing views if part of toolbar is not shown because of a small screen when changing views.
- Fix bottombar always showing after restart, even when not wanted.
- Always use filtered collation names. Store the Sqlite3 collations in the `__collations` array to short-circuit re-creation.
- Fix issue with German relation calculator fixed issue when more than 24 generations between the two people.
- Add file logging for macOS. When Gramps is launched from macOS’s LaunchServices it doesn’t have a sys.stderr attached so the default stream logger goes to `/dev/null`. Use a FileHandler in tht case, writing the log to `$TMPDIR/gramps-pid.log`. This will help particularly in analyzing crashes where python shuts down as there’s no crash report in that case.
- Fix libplaceview to avoid exception when mapservice is no longer present.
- Fix References Gramplet for inadequate updates when other objects change.
- Fix geofamily crash if a family has no father.
- Home Person setting does not convey in a merge.
- Fix CSV export of view to only put single CR character.
- Add Media filter rule ‘HasMedia’ to list of media rules for editor.
- Need to set locale.textdomain under linux. `_build_popup_ui()` ignores translated strings without locale.textdomain set.
- Change category of ‘MatchesEventFilter’.
- Fix issue where separator between top and bottom bar of View creeps up.
- Fix Locations Gramplet (Enclosed by) to properly display certain nested places when the smallest place has undated enclosure and larger places are dated.
- Fix Family Tree Manager drop error on Windows.
- Fix exportvcalendar error is “is not” with a literal (Python 3.8 issue)
- Handle not found when copying source from the citation tree.
- Fix call to ‘file’ function, which doesn’t exist in Python3.
- Fix `write_lock_file` exception when USERNAME is missing.
- Fix EditPlace so Tab key doesn’t get stuck on Private icon.
- Fix Tag report for places that have a hierarchy.
- Fix exception when cancelling out of a db upgrade in GUI.
- Icon file changes:
  - Install 128x128 and 256x256 application icons.
  - Install MIME type icons into the hicolor theme.
  - Remove gnome-mime- prefix from icon filenames.
  - Install application icons into correct directories.

- Fix error in Birthday and Anniversary report. Fixes an error triggered when the first `person_handle` in the list has a death event, but no birth event and does not have family relationships. These conditions lead to the local variable `short_name` not being declared before it comes time to process death events.
- Fix graphdoc to properly escape characters in ids for Graphviz.
- Replace `inspect.stack()` with `inspect.currentframe()`. Works around Python issue [#12920](https://bugs.python.org/issue12920) which causes every call to `inspect.trace()` to fail because ` __main__ ` is always the starting point.
- Fix crash sorting on columns in Selectors with TreeModels.
- Fix progress bar freeze due to changes in Gtk.
- Fix svgdrawdoc for text containing XML invalid characters.
- Mac:
  - Update PyICU to 2.7.2 in macOS build.
  - Update dependencies. Includes moving berkeleydb and pybsddb over from gtk-osx.
  - Further changes for bundling with Python 3.8.
  - Set ` __file__ ` if gramps\_launcher.py is run as ` __main__ `.
  - Add geocode-glib to build.
