What's new in Ages! Version 2.0 ?

 
Lots of things have changed in Ages! 2.0 , this is just a quick glimpse at what's different.
 

Improved User Interface and Data Entry

 
Redesigned Menu
For the first time, all Ages! commands are now integrated into one location: The Ribbon. Many commands can now be accessed with less clicks than before.
 
Accented and Other Special Characters (Unicode)
Ages! is now capable of handling the full Windows character set. This allows entry of accented characters as well as greek, cyrillic or chinese.
 
Person Window Overhaul
Less cluttered, more functionality: Editing a person's data is now easier then ever before. By the way: You can now tell which kids have offspring - they now show an extra arrow.
 
Extended Name Dialog
Ages! now has extra fields for additional name parts - very handy for nobility titles as well as finally having a place for that "jr."
 
Integration of Google Maps
Apart from the internal map, you can now show locations on Google Maps - provided you are connected to the internet.
 
New Search Options
Searching for people is as easy as ever, but now has more options for complex searches.
 
Improved GEDCOM support

Improved Output in 2.0
