The Road to RootsMagic 8: More to Preview Posted by Michael Booth August 14, 2020 We ve been so busy working on RootsMagic 8 that we ve neglected to post any updates on our progress over the last few weeks. While we ve been sharing videos and tidbits via email and social media, we realized that we needed to pull these recent updates into one place to better communicate with all of our users.The Testing ContinuesWe have many users who have been using RootsMagic 8, reporting bugs, and giving suggestions. In order to start testing the software, a user first agrees not to disclose to others about their experience or even that they are a tester. So for those that aren t testing, it feels like everything is very quiet in regards to RootsMagic 8 while those that are testing are actually very busy and active. We gradually add more users to our testing pool so as not to overwhelm the process. Many of you have already volunteered to test the software and- if you aren t already doing so- we hope to give you the opportunity soon.Video Previews GaloreWe ve also been posting video previews of RootsMagic 8 onto our YouTube Channel. If by chance, you ve missed them- then you ll definitely want to check these out:RootsMagic 8 Preview People PageRootsMagic 8: Work-in-Progress PreviewRootsMagic 8 Preview MappingRootsMagic 8 Preview Edit ScreenAnd our latest video:RootsMagic 8 Preview Reports, Charts, Publish SearchWe hope you enjoy these video previews of what is to come in RootsMagic 8. Thank you for your patience as we work hard with our testers to make this our best version of RootsMagic yet. Leave a comment... RootsMagic 7 Now Available for macOS 10.15 (Catalina) Posted by Michael Booth March 16, 2020 We are pleased to announce that RootsMagic 7 is now available for Apple computers running macOS 10.15 Catalina. When Catalina was released last October, it required all applications to be 64-bit applications. This, unfortunately, broke the wrapper that allowed RootsMagic to run on macOS. While users with previous version of macOS could still use RootsMagic, users who had upgraded to Catalina found that RootsMagic (and many other software applications) stopped working.After much work and testing, the wrapper for RootsMagic 7 has been updated to 64-bit that allows it to run on Catalina, as well as prior versions of macOS.Users who installed a previous version of RootsMagic 7 on their Mac should uninstall RootsMagic before installing the new wrapper. Full instructions are found here.Those users that are installing RootsMagic 7 on their Mac for the first time may download it here.RootsMagic 8In addition to the updated wrapper for RootsMagic 7, we are hard at work finishing up RootsMagic 8.  Version 8 is a fully-native, 64-bit macOS application and runs great on macOS Catalina. Keep watching for more news about RootsMagic 8. Leave a comment...
