v25.1.0

Happy New Year and welcome to the first 2025 release of Gramps Web!

New DNA View 🧬

Entering and viewing DNA match data, including an interactive chromosome browser, has been possible in Gramps Web for a while already. However, this feature was well hidden in the right-most subtab of the person view, which made it very difficult to work with, in particular if there are multiple people with DNA data in a tree. Moreover, entering data was quite difficult, requiring to first add a person association of type DNA, then add a note and link it to the association.

The new DNA view, accessible from the main menu, makes the list of matches and the chromosome browser readily available, with the following improvements:

• The view has a dropdown allowing to select any person in the tree that has DNA match data
• There is a new add/edit match dialog showing an instant preview of the raw data in tabular form
• The view is now more mobile friendly
• The raw data editor now understands many more formats of raw DNA match data
• Displaying the match data is now much faster

The last two points are thanks to improvements in Gramps Web API v2.8.0

This is just the beginning of more planned improvements to working with DNA data in Gramps Web. Stay tuned!

Deleting users 🗑️

Hopefully not a feature you will need often, but still good to have: @DanielMorsch added a button to the administration settings that allows to irrevocably delete a user from your tree.
