The [official release notes](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/gramps-v6-0-7-released/9218) are always hard for me to figure out what were the important changes. Here is a user-facing list of changes, but easier to understand for humans, and who made the contribution. We thank each of the contributors, and @Nick-Hall for reviewing each change and merging into the source code. * * * Gramps 6.0.7 — Release Notes (2026-03-15) This maintenance release focuses on bug fixes for GEDCOM import/export, data verification tools, and a new Bashkir translation. > **Always [back up your database](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_make_a_backup) before upgrading.** * * * ## Bug Fixes ### GEDCOM Import/Export - **Export** : Occupation events now correctly use the `OCCU` tag instead of `FACT` ([#14109](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=14109)) — @soig - **Export** : Fixed incorrect language associations for Lithuanian (LT) and Latvian (LV) — @embar- - **Import** : Stillbirth events are now handled correctly ([#14067](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=14067)) — @DaveSch-gramps - **Import** : Fixed crash when creating a missing note containing an Arabic comma ([#13692](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=13692)) — @hgohel - **Import** : Fixed `IndexError` crash in XML import — @DavidMStraub ### Data Verification & Tools - Data verify tool no longer crashes when a birth or death event has no date ([#14081](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=14081)) — @SNoiraud - Data verify tool no longer reports false positives for civil unions that have a marriage date ([#14060](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=14060)) — @soig - Date comparison (`diff_dates`) now correctly considers calendar, modifier, and quality fields — @DavidMStraub - Clean input data tool no longer sets invalid lat/lon values when none are provided ([#14077](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=14077)) — @SNoiraud * * * ## Enhancements - **Check & Repair** : The CheckIntegrity tool now coalesces duplicate event role names — @stevenyoungs - **Localization** : Improved internationalization of surname origin attributes — @petr-fedorov * * * ## macOS - Gramps can now load external shared libraries for plugins (from `~/Library/Application Support/gramps/lib`) [Bouscram notes that the modules should be in ~/Library/Application Support/gramps/gramps60/plugins/lib (standard installation), more formally in ${PYTHONUSERBASE}/lib] — @jralls * * * ## Translations - **New** : Bashkir (ba) translation added - **Fixed** : Irish plural forms corrected — @Nick-Hall - **Updated** : ba, bg, cs, da, de, de\_AT, el, en\_GB, fa, fi, fr, ga, he, hr, hu, it, ka, ko, lt, mk, nl, pt\_BR, ru, sk, sl, sv, ta, tr, uk, zh\_CN ---

Will this v6.0.7 release become available for Windows users at some point? Or has the Windows version been put on hold because @Nick-Hall mentioned in [this post](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/small-language-translation-flaw-in-gramps-6-0-7/9226/2) the possibility of a rapid release of v6.0.8? ---

I’ll take a look at the failing AIO build. ---

Thanks to @codefarmer we now have a [Windows AIO](https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/actions/runs/23302106238/artifacts/6009065256) for v6.0.7. I’ll move it to the release page once it has been tested. ---

A lot of progress since yesterday, but not quite there yet; the build doesn’t launch - if you’re able to help with this, please chime in: ![2026-03-19 Gramps607 launch error](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/gramps/original/2X/3/351d4a399ad05f0cd1c6f91a5c903a5e8743d822.jpeg) ---

@Nick-Hall and other experts, The issue is documented in this [stackoverflow thread](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79123649/does-python-3-13-ignore-ssl-cert-file-environment-variable-by-design) and is due to a change in Python 3.13’s urllib. Is someone able to step in and take this to a resolution? ---

I, with some Claude assist, made some comments: [Resolve multiple AIO 6.0.7 build errors by hgohel · Pull Request #2190 · gramps-project/gramps · GitHub](https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/pull/2190#issuecomment-4093526953) ---

@dsblank Thanks so much for digging into it, very helpful information. Also, I will not be able to work on this issue in a timely manner. Whosoever picks up the build issue(s) from here and takes it to resolution will earn they highly coveted, yet mythical GRAMPY award 🏅 Thank you. ---

No problem; I hope this helps! I don’t have a Windows computer so someone else will have to assist here. ---

I have seen the capability to use external share libraries for the Mac build, which seems a very good idea… However, I have not been able to make it work for Python modules. I have tried to create a “lib” folder in `~/Library/Application Support/gramps` and put the modules in it but it didn’t work. Then I tried to create a “`python3.13`” subfolder (as in the Gramps app itself, but it didn’t work either. @jralls, can you help? ---

Someone told me the answer : the modules should be in `~/Library/Application Support/gramps/gramps60/plugins/lib` (standard installation), more formally in `${PYTHONUSERBASE}/lib` It works fine for me. @dsblank can you update your post above to match this? ---
