* Returning to FH with upgrade to v6

[dspivey]

I'm picking up my family history research after a couple of years (now retired, yippee!) and have upgraded from FH v4 to v6.2. I've read the What's New in Version 6 notes but is there an equivalent for version 5? If not are there any key features or changes that anyone can recommend I familiarise myself with before I leap in again?
Many thanks

Yes, see how_to:about|> About Family Historian where there are links to everything added to V5.0 through V6.2.7.
See also https://www.family-historian.co.uk/features/whats-new which is similar.

The biggest things include:

• Create Books and Booklets
• New Fan Chart Diagrams ~ ‘Shapes’ Toolbar ~ ‘Family Connection Mapper’ Tool
• Improved Backup-and-Restore ~ 3 types
• Plugin Store ~ plugins:index|> Family Historian Plugins
• Everything in V6 ~ in particular Place Mapping

BTW:
I hope you bought a Full V6 licence and NOT a V4 to V6 Upgrade licence, as the former includes a FREE upgrade to V7.

Thank you - that's really helpful. And yes I did buy the full version of 6, so it's good to know there is a free upgrade on offer when 7 comes along.
