A note about the future of ecsoft2.org

ecsoft2.org runs on software (Drupal 7 and PHP 7.4) that reached its end of life years ago and no longer receives security updates. Keeping the site online safely is getting harder.

Giving it a future means migrating it to a current platform — and that is only worth doing if people still use it and want to help keep it alive.

If you care about ecsoft2.org, as a user, a contributor, or someone willing to lend a hand, please ggambatiscali [dot] it (get in touch) by January 31, 2027.

If no one comes forward by then, the site will be turned into a read-only archive, so that its content stays available.

Web Family Tree v. 2.1 (30/7/2019, Peter Moylan)	Readme/What's new	LIST OF CHANGES Version 2.1 (30 Jul 2019) Fixed: index file fault that was making display slow. In wft.en.lng, "Husband" and "Wife" labels changed to a single space character, to avoid saying whether the couple was married. This change has not been made in the other language files, because different users will have different opinions about this, so each user will have to make their own decision.
