== What is Family Connection? ==
Family Connection is an easy-to-setup online hub for your family that
includes a Family News section with Photos, and an Address Book.

For more information, visit http://familyconnect.ruby...

== Downloads ==

== Main Changes / New Features in 1.1.2 ==
- Added lightbox support for viewing images. Clicking on a thumbnail
now brings up the full-sized image inside a nicely framed area within
the browser window.
- Added an experimental pre-dispatcher that helps diagnose database
connectivity issues if not set up correctly. (See http://
inquirylabs.com/blog2005/?p=38)
- Added birthdays. No calendar / reminders yet, however.
- Added a "last visited" date to each person in the address book so
members can see when others last visited the site.

users entries, remove user accounts, modify other user accounts etc.

uploaded their photo.
