Normally, "no news" is "good news" but in this case no news ain't good news.
IMHO, the whole support forum could use a good clean-up.
> Multiple threads about the same subject are not consolidated. Good luck with the "search" function.
> Updates are no longer announced here (since September 2008). Yes, I do know about Help / Check for updates, but I call this the "lazy solution". Either you synchronize both or you drop one of them.
> More than 400 topics remain unanswered. If they are irrelevant, delete/move them. If they are relevant answer them.
> Over and over the same/similar questions are popping up but no decent answers are given. Maybe the questions are too simple to be understood by you, the bright people?
Moreover, you really need to visit this forum regularly to keep up with its structure and contents. I was off-line for two months and I'm completely lost right now.
And, unfortunately, since this post is rather polite, it won't get an answer neither ...

Any news?
I simply love this program, but am worried as everyone else in this forum... It has been a few years since we last heard of a major upgrade.
Can you please tell us what is planned (and when)?
Danny

I actually would prefer reading posts like "I did ... last week and this week I'm working on ... and my goal is to ..." or "The whole idea of ... blew up, had to start again..." or even "... I took some time off for my family..." instead of knowing a date when everything is gonna be ready. I sometimes get the feel that you go a bit defensive, trying to explain people why you did this and that. It's ok, by all means, but what I'm trying to say is that you don't have to be sorry for having a personal life, just keep us informed of where we are and where we're going - every now and then. A monthly newsletter was a good idea and still would be, or somekind of "author's blog" on the forum perhaps?
I can't agree more

One thing which contributed to the delay is my personal life: I am getting married. TodayI signed the papers to announce our marriage.
That is indeed good news!! Mazal Tov.
I wish you two all the best.
It is very hard to have the good mixture between work and family.
Good luck with that : :

Fortunately, you can not work as before!
Congratulations and ... Good Luck!
We wait until Christmas and then, if needed, still waiting.
With the current version of GenoPro, it works fine.Even if you always want something more!

About delay, we are a very small team, Daniel is architect of GenoPro (the application), anything else related to web site, forum, online service (publications, backups, account creation, password...), Facebook stuff is mostly assigned to me or others in the team so that doesn't slow down the development of the GenoPro application. One thing which contributed to the delay is my personal life: I am getting married. Today I signed the papers to announce our marriage. Before I had a girlfriend, I was working, eating and sleeping. My appartment only had a desk and a bed, with no TV and no couch. I had no vacations from 1991 to 2007. I am glad I met my girlfriend later, otherwise there would have been no GenoPro. The amount of work to develop GenoPro remains an accomplishment. Next month I will be 36. I am happy to have found a great woman to share my life with and have a family. Unfortunately, I cannot work as before (during days, evenings and weekends). The good news is Jean-Claude and I are working full time on GenoPro and we have exciting features coming for you.

About hidden page and secret url for purchasing GenoPro Gamma, don't try it, if you spend money on it it's likely you will receive a key but we may change the key format by the time of the release and we will refund you or replace your key. I suggest you don't go there.
The gamma version is not ready for testing, the only thing you can try is a special build for a incoming book that have a few new features that will be in the Gamma when released.
The forum have been updated too fast, we just wanted to remove the old "beta" version, the current bug in GenoPro 2007 should be reported and we will fix when possible.

You haven't miss the party, the party have not started yet.
Once release, we will send back the newsletter with news, tips and information about GenoPro.

I'm totally confused.
I was out of the picture for a few years due to personal things, but never forgot the project. Now that I'm back, I assumed that the project had gone a big warp ahead and started to look and ask for the new Gamma version, which I thought was out for testing... an obvious hint of this is a forum called "Bug Report" under "GenoPro Gamma (in development)" which even has topics in it! In addition, I also found a link https://www.genopro.com/buy/Default.aspx?version=3 by a Google search which gave me an impression that this version really exists and is open for public. But browsing this Forum further I think I finally understand that there is no such thing as GenoPro Gamma out in the open, not even for testers - to my understanding because of reliability issues.
I'm just wondering... Is anyone else getting the feeling that everything is getting pretty confusing? I mean:
1) WEBSITE:
i) I keep finding these hidden pages @ genopro.com, one of which (link above) sells product that isn't out yet, one of which (/gamma) gives future information "How Can I participate in the Gamma Program?".. and latest /monica I discovered only today.
ii) English, French and other languages all have different kind of front page and structure.
iii) I can't find anywhere a straight answer on how should the website be translated nor why certain languages are available while others are not.
2) FORUM: Gamma Bug Report forum.. how can we report a bug on a version that cannot be tested?
3) DELAYS: I'm very happy for you, Dan, finding a partner and having a life outside office. The fact that you told us, working years with no vacation, gives me the creeps.  : There are many other things to life than work and it's very important and nice thing if you have found a balance between business hours and freetime. Anyway, I -and I think most people agree- hope that we're getting a realistic and honest plans and estimates on progress. It doesn't matter if the schedule doesn't hold or if there's a real schedule at all with dates on it. I actually would prefer reading posts like "I did ... last week and this week I'm working on ... and my goal is to ..." or "The whole idea of ... blew up, had to start again..." or even "... I took some time off for my family..." instead of knowing a date when everything is gonna be ready. I sometimes get the feel that you go a bit defensive, trying to explain people why you did this and that. It's ok, by all means, but what I'm trying to say is that you don't have to be sorry for having a personal life, just keep us informed of where we are and where we're going - every now and then. A monthly newsletter was a good idea and still would be, or somekind of "author's blog" on the forum perhaps?
Oh, and try not to eat too much of the cake at one bite. I know there is loads of requests and tweaking, but I think everyone's waiting for that Collaboration module. Facebook app is a cool idea, but first things first, right?

I very much look forward to the new version. Based upon the graphic that is included, and can be seen in the Special version of GenoPro for Monica McGoldrick, you can now have pictures in the genogram. That is excellent!
However, as was mentioned several years ago, a wonderful option will be to have the picture (face) of each person as part of the oval or square that is depicted. If I recall correctly there was a discussion on DjVu (or something like this?).
Now that the next version finally seems to be coming together, it would be wonderful to have this option included!

totally agree with the above posting. It is really annoying to push the data, I want to see in the genomap, into custom tags and display them.
It would be very helpful, if it is possible to define the string which is displayed.
