 RootsMagic just announced Version 11.0.4 of their desktop family tree genealogy software with a set of updated features.  

Since I didn't report any other updates, here are all of the updates since Version 11.0.0 was released in September 2025:

  • Fixed: Ctrl+Shift+Left and Ctrl+Shift+Right (or Cmd on Mac) select text a word at a time now.
