What are the patches that you considered ‘so vital’ that they had to be applied after upgrading to 5.1.4? Here’s my preliminary ‘must have’ list: Obviously, any 5.1.4 breakages: the swap of Lat/Long in Edit Place parser fixed in 5.1.5 Unnecessary Progress gauge displayed in Status bar fixed in 5…

[image] emyoulation: What are the patches that you considered ‘ vital ’ they be applied after upgrading to 5.1.4? I patched both breakages since they are very annoying. I hope there will be another maintenance release soon to fix them for all users. [image] Bouscram: I can’t understand w…

[image] Mihle: I will manually add it as I had on 5.1.3, as it makes the note view so much more usefull for me Be careful (I learned this the hard way), if you install this change for 5.1.3 or 5.1.4, you need to change this line in the gramps/plugins/gramplet/gramplet.gpr.py file from 5.2 bac…

[image] GeorgeWilmes: you need to change this line in the gramps/plugins/gramplet/gramplet.gpr.py file from 5.2 back to 5.1 And of course, one should always be careful about adding any new code to an older installation. Just forcing the version number, as in that example, doesn’t magically ma…

I don’t think it’s a bug. The file in the 5.1.4 release has “5.1”. I imagine there are other files in the current master branch that aren’t intended for release until 5.2? But I don’t know how to check. Now, if there is a 5.1.5 release someday and that file somehow gets distributed with “5.2” in it…

[image] GeorgeWilmes: I imagine there are other files in the current master branch that aren’t intended for release until 5.2? But I don’t know how to check. You can use Matt’s new site to look for add-ons specifically for 5.2 (or any other version) [image] New website for addons I’ve cre…

7 posts were split to a new topic: Feature preview hack: Custom Map provider tiles Thank you @SNoiraud , I will wait for 5.2. As I mentioned earlier, it [the “custom map provider tiles” hack] is not a “vital patch” for me, I was just curious to try it. To return now to @emyoulation ’s original que…

Four I’ve stored for future versions if I need them again: Person ID field width in person editor Default tags color change original to 48-bit hex"#rrrrggggbbbb (such as 50% grey "#7FFF7FFF7FFF") Filtering on media path/file name Place Update gramplet modification Links or PDFs: [image] …

I have these in a list that I keep. I see now that some of them are in the master branch and others are in the maintenance/gramps51 branch. I’m currently using 5.1.4-2. Add 'HasAttribute' filter rule to citations, repositories and sources …
