  • Reunion 12 now runs in 64-bit mode by default. Note that some older Mac technologies no longer work in 64-bit apps. So you may encounter issues with very old pictures/movies (particularly those in QuickDraw PICT format, which has been discontinued by Apple) and music in slideshows.

  • New Duplicate Check feature. When adding a person, a new window appears showing possible duplicates to the person you're adding. You can make it as sensitive as you want. Potential duplicates can be reviewed, to help decide whether to link an existing person or continue adding a new person. No need to look for duplicates after the fact.
  • Sort events for everybody, marked people, or the current couple. An "Event Template" lets you determine the best order for events that have no dates. For example, always keeping burial after death, even when the burial date is unknown.
  • The new Citations List is a powerful and flexible tool for reviewing, searching, and managing citations and citation detail. It's easy to see a list of citations for any person, family, or group of people. Citations can be sorted in several ways and citation detail can be edited in one place for better consistency. This new feature shows the precise usage of each citation; not just the person, but the field, source number, template, and citation detail for each citation record.
  • Vastly improved fan charts, including: full circular fans (and any degree of spread from 150° to 360°); the ability to exclude empty cells; color controls for individual fan cells, or by generation, sex, branch, or direct line; the fine-tuning of space between generations, adjacent cells, and lines of text; control of shadows and rounded corners for cells; and much more.
  • New Color Tags feature lets you use color to tag people in your family file. Color tags provide visual clues to distinguish different groups of people with particular attributes. For example, people modified in the last 30 days could be given a green tag, descendants of any ancestor can be given an orange tag, ancestors of a person can be given a cyan color, people flagged as "uncertain" can have a magenta tag, people with multiple parents can have a yellow tag, Y-DNA and mtDNA can be assigned different color tags, etc.
  • We've greatly enhanced the ability to search for citations and citation detail. There are 3 new, powerful searches in the Find panel: Number of Citations, Cited Source Number, and Citation Detail. These are in response to wish-list requests, such as: searching for text in the citation detail field, searching for people with a particular field that has no citations, cites a certain source, or has a certain number of citations; searching for people with general source citations, etc. The possibilities are vast.
  • Reunion's Find feature can show you exactly where matches occur — not just the person who has a match, but the precise field where the match occurs. This happens with a new Match menu button that appears in the Results list.
  • The Source window now shows all elements together and visible in one glance (Source Fields, Free-Form Text, Multimedia, and the Preview). No more using tabs to see or edit different elements. All four sections are can be revealed or hidden, and they’re all resizable.
  • Reunion's web output now features "responsive design," meaning that web pages created by Reunion will appear optimized for whatever device (desktop, phone, tablet) is viewing them.
  • New Book features:
  • A new book based on a relative report, with chapters for each relationship.
  • A new book based on an hourglass report. This book moves both directions, forward and backward in time, combining the descendants of a person, together with the ancestors of a person and/or the ancestors of his spouse.
  • The Book Project window has clickable links, making it easier to navigate the book before creating a PDF file. For example, clicking names in the index, place index, sources, media, etc. Also, a new History menu for backtracking as you navigate to different pages in the book.
  • New Add Section window offers several prebuilt sections for books and a place to save/recall your own customized book sections. These include Front Covers, Back Covers, and Custom Sections. This feature makes it easier to assemble a book from pieces that have already been created and modified to your liking.
  • In the Sections list of the Book Project window, the titles of chapters within the main report now appear. For example, instead of showing simply "Ancestor Report" in the list of book sections, you'll see "First Generation," "Second Generation," etc. This makes it easier to navigate to different generations or chapters in the Book Project window.
  • Text can be fully justified (i.e., text in paragraphs can be left- and right-justified).
  • Preferred pictures in books can be auto-sized to a uniform width, for neater appearance alongside text.
  • Text can be colored automatically: select different colors for males, females, relationships, and highlight the names of direct ancestors/descendants.

New in Reunion 10 (Jun 27, 2012)

  • Pictures Everywhere - You can include pictures in all buttons in the family view: a couple, their children and parents.
  • Places - new features include: mapping of places in Google or Bing, entry of geo codes for places (automatic or manual), internal place database that tracks all your place entries and encourages more consistency and accuracy, ability to merge places, room to record general notes about places.
  • Sidebars - A new sidebar appears along the right side of the family view. The sidebar is easily switched between lists of: people, sources, multimedia, relatives, ages, places, find results, bookmarks, treetops, clipboard, calendar, reminders, and contacts. The sidebar is useful for navigating, searching, linking via drag & drop, etc. Plus, it's available when you're entering or editing information, creating reports and charts, finding, marking, etc. The sidebar has conveniently replaced several separate windows in earlier versions of Reunion.
  • Tree View - The new "tree view" is bigger, better, more flexible than the old "overview" window. Choose a pedigree or hourglass chart style (to show ancestors and descendants). Include pictures, places, and relationships. This feature is similar to the tree view on our iPad software.
  • Family View Preferences - There is much greater ability to customizing the appearance and content of the family view. For example: any event or fact can appear inside child buttons or lists; more color/font options; parents can appear stacked or side-by-side to make the best use of your screen size; you can include last name and/or "married name" in child buttons; the text in buttons (children, couple, parents) can be justified left, center, or right.
  • Web Searching - Search genealogical web resources for more information about a person.
  • "On This Date" Report - A new report that lets you go back in time. Pick any date in a person's past and see the makeup of his family on that date: what family members were alive, how old everybody was, etc. Even include historical events in the report for context.
  • Obituary Report - A new report that creates an obituary for a person.
  • Relationship Chart shows, graphically, the relationship between two people (and they don't have to be blood relatives).
  • Web Project - A report for the web that includes a new web tree chart for chart-like navigation through the information you publish, linked family cards, person sheets, media pages, and sources.
  • Web Styles - Reunion 10 introduces all-new attractive web styles with a trio of elements that can be selected independently: color theme, format, and font.
  • Events Report - A new chronological report showing a list of events for people in your family file. Include all people or only marked people. Choose any event or group of events to be included. Open this report in the new List window for even more flexibility (adding more columns, sorting, etc.)
  • Multimedia Usage Report - Now an interactive report that shows a list of multimedia files linked to the family file. Selecting any item in the list provides a supplemental list of every record where the media item is linked. Missing items are identified; as are items used multiple times.
  • More relatives are included when identifying and listing relatives, including non-blood relatives. For example: spouse of daughter, spouse of uncle, step mother, step grandfather, step son, step granddaughter, father of spouse, sister of spouse, spouse of aunt of spouse, etc.
  • Navbar - The new "navbar" appears along the left side of Reunion's window. The navbar provides big, clearly labeled buttons for the most common things you want to see or do: family view, tree view, charts, reports, find, change, mark, and logs. No need to hunt through pull-down menus at the top of your screen.
  • The List window is a new, separate window with it's own navbar, containing lists of: People, Events, Relatives, Places, Results (of Find searches), Calendars, Couples, and Contacts. For most day-to-day use, the Sidebar will suffice; but the List window provides powerful, flexible lists with lots of columns, fields, and sorting options.
  • Improved Ages report - Ages is now a sidebar, visible anytime right alongside the family view and it includes pictures. There are several new ways to represent age: days, months, years, years and months, months and days, years months and days.
  • Easy Merge - When you're certain that two people are really the same person, just drag one person and drop him on the other person. Reunion will ask if you want to merge the two records.
  • Print and copy the family view. It's easy to print, email, or copy the family view (or "family card" as it was previously known).
  • Added support for privacy filtering in descendant charts, pedigree charts, relative charts, and descendant reports.
  • Added support for documenting civil unions and domestic partnerships.
  • Images can be dragged/dropped from a web browser into Reunion (into a person, family, or source record). For example, when you find a census or tombstone image on FamilySearch.org or Ancestry.com, just drag and drop it on a person or source record in Reunion.
  • Side-By-Side Matching and Merging People - Evaluating matches is much easier in the new Merge People window. You can see, side-by-side, a synopsis of a person and a possible matching person. View and compare the parents, spouses, children, and dates of each person who might be a match.
  • Better tracking of multimedia files - After multimedia files (such as picture files) are linked to people, families, or source records, the multimedia files can be moved and renamed in the Finder and Reunion will automatically keep track of the files. Thus you won't be breaking links to pictures if you reorganize, move, or rename your picture files/folders in the Finder and you don't need to manually relink pictures or tell Reunion where they've gone.
  • The Person menu - Every person in the family view has a powerful Person menu button. (Look for the little triangle in the upper-right corner of each person's button.) This button provides many useful features with one click; for example: finding relatives, showing treetops, navigating to other spouses/children, changing child status and bold text of children, adding to bookmarks, searching the web, etc.
  • Export to iCal - Move birthdays, anniversaries, or other events into iCal.
  • History button - This new button, in the bottom bar, shows a list of the people/families you have visited. You can look back through the history in order to revisit a particular person/couple.
  • New feature to copy a customized family view from one family file to another.
  • New options for sorting children by birth dates in all families or families with a marked parent.
  • Auto-size columns - Control-click the title of a column in the List window, the list of children in the family view, or the Edit Family > Children panel.
  • Bookmarks can be displayed in the sidebar for easy navigation, are now unlimited, and behave similarly to bookmarks in your web browser. (i.e., you opt to put people into the bookmarks list).
  • New feature to copy multimedia files to a new folder. If your mother-in-law asks for all the pictures on her side of the family, it's easy to share just those pictures. Or, if you export a GEDCOM file, Reunion can copy all of the multimedia files into a folder to accompany the GEDCOM file.
  • Picture thumbnails are stored inside the family file, which provides much faster navigation between different people and families. It also means you can copy your family file on another Mac and the images for each person will appear in the family view, tree view, and sidebars, without needing to copy picture files to the other Mac.
  • Export Reunion Family File - lets you export people (all, marked, unmarked, or no people); sources (all, cited, or no sources); multimedia (all multimedia, preferred pictures only, or no multimedia). You can now import and export sources without people. Or vice versa. You can also copy all multimedia items linked to all, marked, or unmarked people into a new folder. This feature makes it much easier to share a subset of your family file and relevant images with another person.
  • Enhancements to the Import Reunion Family File feature include the ability to import all source records or cited source records from another family file while importing no people.
  • Multimedia Files Preferences - new option to designate places not to be searched for missing items and to prevent unnecessary searches of (potentially very large) iPhoto libraries if you do not keep your genealogy pictures in iPhoto.

  • places from the Places sidebar into place fields in the family view
  • places from the Places sidebar into place fields in the Edit Person/Family panel
  • a person's button into the Relatives sidebar to identify all his relatives
  • a person's button into the Treetops sidebar to identify all his treetops
  • a person's button into the Ages sidebar to show the ages of a person in the sidebar
  • a person from any sidebar or List window to the Home button, to designate his family as the home family.
  • The old "mailing address" feature has become "contacts" and includes support for many more fields, more types of fields (cell phones, social media, etc.), and multiple occurrences of fields.
  • Address Book support - new integration with Apple's Address Book app:
  • drag vCard files (.vcf) or Address Book entries to people in Reunion or into the Contact Info window
  • drag a new icon in Reunion's Contact Info window to move address data to the Finder or to Apple's Address Book app
  • Last Names Report appears instantly in Reunion 10. If you want to see a list of all "Smiths" in your family file, just double-click "Smith" in the list and the sidebar will instantly be filled with Smiths.
  • New ability to search for events containing particular elements, such as a particular day of the month, month of the year, or year.
  • New ability to search for text in multimedia comments.

  • New Space Inside Boxes menu items to increase/decrease the space between the content of chart boxes and the borders of chart boxes; in effect, giving boxes a little more or less "breathing room."
  • New Lock Defaults feature lets you preserve your chart defaults while making changes and experimenting.
  • Added several Control-key shortcuts when clicking a chart box or object to make aligning, layering, and grouping objects much easier.
  • Chart Info window now shows the correct "Overall Paper Size" regardless of the scale setting in the Page Setup window.
  • New marking options for groups of people - you can now mark or unmark:
  • everyone linked to a person: this feature makes it easier to split a family file or create reports that completely exclude a spouse's side of the family, for example.
  • paternal and maternal ancestors
  • parents of spouses
  • siblings of ancestors
  • non-blood relatives.
  • Numerous new shortcuts, including new shortcuts to increase/decrease the font size of all text in the family view (Command +/-), a new shortcut to return to the home family (Command R), a new shortcut to see a pop-up list of children, including half siblings (Control-click anywhere in the children box in the family view) and many others.
  • New visual clue - In the Sources sidebar (which, in earlier versions of Reunion, was called the Source List window) the column for multimedia shows how many multimedia items are linked to each source record.
  • Event memo field limit has increased to 2,500 characters.
  • New visual clue - In the Edit Person > Names/Events/Facts, a new column shows how many multimedia items are linked to cited source records.

  • New troubleshooting menu item that rebuilds Reunion's cached files in case you experience unusual problems.
  • New Couples list makes it easier to get a list of all people and their spouses. Includes lots of columns and sorting options.
  • A new Marking Shortcuts window brings to your fingertips quick lists of marked people, unmarked people, and other common marking functions.
  • Improved Statistics Report - More comprehensive and flexible.
  • Numbering - a new option will "clear" numbering for marked people. This option will help keep track of smaller subsets within your family file that you think are related to other subsets, but you're not sure.
  • When importing a GEDCOM file that contains links to images, the first image linked to a person will become the preferred picture in Reunion for that person, unless the GEDCOM file specifies the preferred picture. Thus, any people who do have images linked will always appear with a preferred picture after import, even if none were specified as preferred in the GEDCOM file.
  • New "US Census" perspective event file. And the "US Presidents" perspective event file has been updated with inauguration dates.
  • Manual/Help:
  • A new History button in the manual shows a list of recent manual pages you've visited.
  • A new Top button quickly takes you to the top of manual pages.
  • Pressing Command-? opens the manual to the relevant page, no matter where you are in the software.
  • The Help menu (in the menubar at the top) lists the current navbar selection and the current sidebar selection and will take you to the appropriate page in the manual.
