The following announcement was written by Synium Software:
MacFamilyTree 5.6 has just been released and as always, the update brings a plethora of new features. By introducing a novelty in the genealogy market, the Virtual Tree, one year ago we revolutionized the way you approach all the branches of your family tree. Now, with version 5.6, this unique feature has been rebuilt incorporating several customer requests. Navigate through the three-dimensional representation of your family data and dive into your family history.
Let MacFamilyTree single out specific branches for you, see your ancestors' photos instead of generic symbols and enjoy the tremendous speed improvements for large trees. Even older Macs gain performance thanks to the improvements.
What else? The extended media management. Select persons on your family pictures and assign them to entries in your database: persons, families, events or sources. This feature comes in handy when you start identifying your family members on those old group shots. Draw a rectangle on the photo and tell MacFamilyTree who that person is. This cut-out is automatically added to that person's profile.
Bookmarks have been enhanced, allowing you direct access to your Media Library. Last but not least, you can edit your images within the Media Pane, letting you crop, change hue, brightness, shrapness and reduce noise.
The virtual Globe features new maps with higher resolution while simultaneously increasing the processing speed on older machines.
