UNSTABLE Gramps 4.0.0 Beta2 release.

This is a technology preview to allow distribution packagers (and plugin

writers) to update their scripts (and plugins). This release is not

production ready, so only use it for testing!

It is recommended that Gramps 4.0.0 be used with python 2.7 since many

dependent packages do not yet have python 3 versions. A determined person

can probably download their sources and build them, however.

The dependencies for Gramps 4.0.0 are _completely_ different than 3.4 due

to the switch to GObject introspection, and the removal of autotools. So

only install 4.0.0 if you are certain you can obtain the dependencies,

see README and INSTALL.

For linux, in Ubuntu 12.10 you can install 4.0.0, but you will need to

compile and install osmgpsmap manually to have the maps working (see

http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_029:_GTK3-GObject_introspection_Conversion#OsmGpsMap_for_Geography )
