[prMac.com] Mainz, Germany - After less than a month and more than one release a week, MacFamilyTree 5.1 today makes it "out of beta"! Download the newest update to our popular genealogy application and enjoy the many new features and enhancements added to the user interface as well as to overall functionality.

* Media Browser
- interactive 'gallery' and another entry point to browse and access all pictures available in your family tree.

* Media Pane "Redux"
- the Media panes are now available all over MacFamilyTree, they offer quick navigation and have been updated with a slide show to make working with your family tree a real joy.

* Address Book import
- quickly and comfortably add your family members via direct import from Address Book.

* Database Maintenance
- quickly harmonize all date entries in your database to match your preferred date format. This tool also allows you to easily filter your database for unused (empty) items which then can be quickly removed.

* Fan Charts
- with 5.1 we introduce the view "Fan Chart" which displays your ancestors in a well-structured way, is fully configurable and easy to edit. Fan Charts can be visualized in multicolour and line-art - just as you wish.

* Enhanced GUI
- substantial GUI enhancements in MacFamilyTree 5.1 make better use of media in Person, Family, Source and Event Edit Modes. Inline help texts and documentation have been improved. We also placed more direct-access buttons, e.g. for Kekule number management right on the frontmost interface level, and added age as a separate, sortable column in Person list view.

* Improved Performance
- many minor and not-so-minor performance enhancements and fixes all over MacFamilyTree.
