Fixed: (MAC) Dropping the same media into RootsMagic was adding duplicate media items
Fixed: Media on Ancestry sources for facts was not downloading (there is still an issue with media on user sources which has been reported to Ancestry).
Fixed: Updating notes on Ancestry now works
Fixed: Source icon colours (pink vs green) were inconsistent at times
Fixed: Cosmetic issues
Fixed: Issue affecting TreeShare in 11.1.0. This issue only affects citation links (not your people, facts, or media), and it only occurs if TreeShare was used in version 11.1.0. Updating to 11.1.1 prevents the issue going forward.
New: Switch to new Ancestry API. Ancestry is switching to a new API (the system RootsMagic uses to communicate with it). RootsMagic users should experience better reliability in uploading and downloading data from Ancestry. Very shortly, Ancestry will be turning off the old API, and all versions of RootsMagic before 11.1.0 will no longer be able to interact with Ancestry.

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