We will lbe measuring syncing success, performance and stability. Last week, MacKiev sent FTM 2017 to 25,000 new beta testers, and this is what they were looking at: We’ll announce that as soon as analysis of the results are available. We are grateful for the participation of a volunteer beta tester with 270,646 people in her tree who agreed to stay up late to help (thank you, Tracy!) When these tests are complete we hope to be able to make a decision on a partial or full rollout. We are conducting tests with Ancestry engineers tonight to check modifications made for handling the largest trees. – Nearly all (98.2%) of test drivers elected to continue driving after the first 48 hours. – Most test drivers (94.8%) reported being able to sync. MacKiev has updated their status of Family Tree Maker 2017 page, and the signs are very encouraging:įor performance, a majority found FTM 2017 faster than their previous edition: I think the end is nearly in sight for the official release of Family Tree Maker 2017, for both Mac and Windows. Note: I will be posting my impressions of the beta version of FTM 2017 at the end of this article.
