New Wallcharts & Fancharts - Wallcharts have been rebuilt from the ground up, giving beautiful new features and colouring as well as one of the most requested features - fan charts.

Reusable Source Citations - Reusable citations let you create a citation once and then attach it to multiple people or events.

Streamlined Tasks - To-do items, correspondence lists, and research logs have been brought together into streamlined "tasks". Tasks are easily attached to people, sources, media, and more while being quickly searched and filtered.

Better Places & Mapping - The Place List is now reversible and can directly show you all the events where the place is used. People and events can be quickly edited from the Place List. The Map View shows you the location of each place and any desired group of people.

And Much More - Many more enhancements to colour coding, groups, media handling, reports, and more!
