Version 0.18.2
Fixed

What's new
Every version of Stambeam for the computer, newest first. The app updates itself; there is no need to download it again.
Version 0.18.1
New
- Find the decorative tree among the reports
- Let the help assistant find buttons inside the views, such as the decorative tree
- Show how much of an update is downloaded while it installs
Version 0.18.0
New
- Put photos on the decorative tree, for everyone who has one
Fixed
- Keep the export buttons under the family tree clickable when the overview map overlaps them
Version 0.17.0
New
- Tree finder (File > Tree finder): find your family trees and safety copies on this computer, open them, or clean them up with Shift+Del

- Decorative tree: print your ancestors as a decorative tree (PNG, PDF or SVG)
- Pedigree booklet: save your ancestors as a numbered booklet PDF
- Move a panel into its own window, for example on a second screen
- Copy a person, with their ancestors or descendants, from a tree shared with you into your own tree, with a source note
- Manage invitations, devices and the audit log of your hub from Settings
- Changes from the phone that are too complex to settle there go to "To review" on your computer
- A person added on a shared branch now shows for everyone whose share covers that branch; settle a refused change on a branch field by field
- Save the map as an image even without WebGL
- An exported globe shows the satellite image, and you zoom an exported map with two fingers on a phone or tablet
Improved
- Large photos and files resume where they broke off with the hub
- Set a speed limit for photos and files synced with a hub
- The hub cleans up photos and files no tree uses any more (kept in a bin for 30 days first)
- A very large change on a shared branch is sent in parts, like on the main line
Fixed
- A read-only shared tree, or an earlier version, is now safe from every kind of edit
- A wipe order for a shared tree runs at start, without opening the tree first
- When the owner deletes or merges a place, source or photo, it also leaves the shared tree
- Restore points stay correct after your changes are merged with those of another device
- Edits made while a tree is being linked to a hub are sent afterwards
- Kinship, search and the map show "Afgeschermde persoon" instead of "(naamloos)"
- An undo or redo that changes nothing no longer blocks the one below it
- The wait after wrong sign-in attempts on the hub stays after the hub restarts
Version 0.16.0
New
- Show the fields of the card view in the fan chart
Version 0.15.0
New
- Let each tree view keep its own card fields
Version 0.14.0
New
- Give the fan chart a new look with curved names and a colour per branch
Version 0.13.0
New
- "Add fact" is one A–Z list you can search, with the facts you used last on top, and you can type a fact of your own if it is not listed (from your reports)
- Every date field has a calendar next to it, with separate fields for day, month and year. You type the year, so dates long ago are quick too. Typing in the date field still works (from your reports)
Fixed
- A new fact comes into view right away with the cursor in it, and the person card keeps scrolling normally (from your reports)
- The screenshot in "Report a problem" shows the screen as it is, also when you scrolled down (from your reports)
- A period (such as for an address) keeps both dates, also when you fill them in quickly one after the other
Version 0.12.1
Fixed
- A shared branch now goes to the hub right away, also when you share it while the main line is active. After that it shows on the phone too (from your reports)
- On the phone, a photo says its title may stay empty (from your reports)
Version 0.12.0
New
- Add the declarant or witnesses of a birth or death from its card (at the bottom: witnesses, declarant). A person from the tree is linked, and their own card lists under "Involved in" which events they were part of (from your reports)
Fixed
- An empty date field shows "Date" again, so it is clear where the birth date goes (from your reports)
- On the phone, choose a photo from the album or take one with the camera with a clear button; the app no longer locks in between (from your reports)
Version 0.11.0
New
- Continue working on a shared branch on the phone: pick the main line or a branch at the top, and what you change stays in that branch. On the computer it arrives in the same branch; merging is done there
- Photos can be added in a branch on the phone too
- A branch shows on the phone once you share it on the computer with Share branch…; only the owner of the tree picks a branch on the phone
Improved
- Update the hub to this version to see branches on the phone; with an older hub the phone works on the main line as before
Version 0.10.0
New
- Residence is now called Address: add several addresses per person, each with its own period (requested in your reports)
- An address has separate fields for street and number, postal code and town; the province or state and the country come from the chosen place
- Enter the period of an address with two date fields, From and To; either may stay empty
- A normal date field also takes a period: "from 1-5-1965 to 1977", "since 1993" or "until 1977"
- Addresses go into a GEDCOM export with their separate fields and period, and come back in the same way
Improved
- Important If you use a hub to sync or share, update the hub to this version as well; syncing waits until then
Version 0.9.1
Fixed

- Cause of death only shows on a death, burial or cremation, no longer on a marriage
- Choose a registered partnership or cohabitation under "Type of relationship" on the Marriage tab

- Rest the pointer on a person in the list to see their parents and partner
