v0.20.0

Improvements in this release

• Tooltips! Many of the icon buttons now show (translated) tooltips on hover (or long press on mobile). It's planned to roll this out to more parts of the application.
• Under settings, there is a new button to update the search index. This can come in handy if the index is somehow corrupted or if there are changes in the backend that require to rebuild it (see below).
• The export dialog as been overhauled. When using a deployment with a celery task queue, exports are now processed in the background. This means they cannot time out, even for very large databases. A progress icon is shown while the export is still in progress.
• There are 37 new fully translates languages - thanks to @MedicMomcilo for noticing that they hadn't been correctly pulled in in previous releases
• Update to several translations by the Weblate community

Backend changes

Note the changes (some of them breaking changes) in Gramps Web API v0.6.0 - please take them into account before upgrading.

You can use the new "update search index" button to rebuild the search index. You might be presented with the onboarding dialog to select a home person and langauge - this is because the home person is not found in the (absent) search index. You can dismiss the dialog and update the search index.

If your thumbnails stop working after the upgrade, please check if it is related to a config option (e.g. MEDIA_BASE_DIR) set as environment variable, which is overriden by an environment variable prefixed with GRAMPSWEB_ in the default docker file (see the Web API v0.6.0 release notes).
