NB: The below was written in Feb2023 for V2.13.3 when I thought I was getting close to a release. It needs a cleanup to cover the past 7 months and reach V2.140, I'll do that soon and delete this line.

Change Log:-

Overview
===============
- Fixed 3 tracking rectangles (mouse hot spots) in the Self and Family Tabs which were causing the UI to crash on Ventura.
- Repaired deprecated code to comply with min spec macOS 10.13

Date Handling
===============
- Replaced deprecated use of CalendarDate with DateComponents. (many times).
eg:
[[NSDate date] descriptionWithCalendarFormat:@"%A %d-%b-%y at %H:%M" timeZone:nil locale:locale]
becomes
[Utils getDateStr:nil withFormat:@"EEEE d-MMM-yyyy at HH:mm"]

API usage
===============
- Generalised use of API queries to the backend of iFamily.
--- Introduced visual elements to notify user that API request/response is occurring in the background.
---impacted files from Utils_API.m:
AppController.m
DownloadLatestRelease.m
Registration.m
Utils.reportException()


Gedcom changes
===============
- date handling

File Handling
===============
- in NSURL -> Use of stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters instead of stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding

General
===============
-Implicit casting of AppController, FTreeDocument and FTAssociation where used.

Deprecations
- [NSImage imageUnfilteredTypes] -> imageUnfilteredFileTypes

SCRATCH

This problem still occurs.

Adding a file (jpg) to Pictures.

The file referenced in the panel (See attachment) was being loaded into Pictures for the very first time.

Is this version compatible with Mac OS Sonoma (14)? I am currently running Ventura 13.5.2.

Jerri, did you ever receive a response? I am also looking to upgrade from macOS 13 to 14 and concerned about compatibility. I emailed support but have not heard back. Is iFamily no longer being updated?
