While the updater is perfectly safe, it’s always a good idea to back up your files. Please read this carefully before you update:ġ. In beta testing over the past ten days, 800 outside testers with trees of all sizes noticed the improvement. Some actions that previously took several minutes in FTM 2014 now take just a few seconds. SPEED: We’ve improved both speed and responsiveness.We wanted to make this build what it is - the most stable edition of Family Tree Maker ever made. Even some pretty obscure ones that we knew only a few users might ever find. STABILITY: We’ve crushed every crashing bug we could find or that’s been reported to us.You’ll find it as a new option in the export window. And if you’re sending them outside your computer, that’s a very good idea - so your family history doesn’t ever fall into the wrong hands. SECURITY: New in this build is the ability to add password-protection to the tree files you export.

(Even if you’ve already updated to a previous edition of FTM 2014.1 or Mac 3.1). For those of you who have been waiting patiently (or impatiently) for an update we thought every user of FTM 2014 and Mac 3 should install, well it’s here, and here’s why you should install it. The announcement below comes from Jack Minsky, the President of Software MacKiev:ĭrum roll, please. It’s taken a while (longer than expected), and during the past year they have done LOTS of fixes, but now they are happy to announce the free update is finally available. From the moment that MacKiev bought Family Tree Maker (FTM) from Ancestry back in January 2016, they announced that there would be a free update for those who have Family Tree Maker 2014, and Family Tree Maker Mac 3.
