Gramps Web

Customize Default Tree View

@elig-45 added a section to the user settings that allows to change the tree view (ancestor, descendant, relationship, or fan chart) that is opened by default when you first click on “tree”.

• feat: add user-default family tree view and shared display preferences by @elig-45 in https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps-web/pull/1001

Developer Tools

The user settings now have a new “developer tools” section that open a standalone version of the Gramps Web API documentation (based on Swagger) that allows sending raw queries to Gramps Web’s backend with authentication.
