There are “minor” genealogy software updates that happen fairly often but that don’t quite deserve their own posts (major updates/releases receive their own posts), and these are last week’s genealogy software briefs.
Note: iOS/iPadOS (iPhone, iPad) and Google Android updates, as well as browser extensions, need to be downloaded from their respective stores. Also, 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.
