These are the “minor” genealogy software updates that have been released since last Sunday, November 17, 2024. Notable updates include BillionGraves for iOS/iPadOS receiving its first update in almost a year (fixes and security improvements), and keyboard shortcuts for Genealogy Assistant (a chrome browser extension).
Note: iOS/iPadOS (iPhone, iPad) and Google Android updates, as well as browser extensions, need to be downloaded from their respective stores. It’s not uncommon for the version numbers and release dates between the same app on different platforms (iPhone vs Android) to be different or slightly off. When the updates are the same between two platforms, the updates are only listed once.
