Changes in BPBible 0.3

Changes to BPBible 0.3 include:

  • Header bar
    This is a feature unique to BPBible. It is a bar at the top of the bible window which has all the surrounding chapters on it for easy access. It also allows you to view an overview of each chapter. This is easier to try to see than to describe:
  • Book Installation
    You can now easily download books and install them. Remote installation, however, is not supported yet.
  • Search improvements:
    • Highlighting of search terms in results
    • New search operator (a, b) which does matches a or b.
  • Unicode support
    BPBible now should handle all unicode properly – searching may not be very smart, though (no stemming, accents removal, ...)
  • Daily Devotional support
    BPBible now supports daily devotional modules differently. It puts a calendar button next to the text book for easy selection, and formats the dates properly.
  • Parallel display in the verse compare frame
    Clicking on the parallel display button on the verse compare frame will put the translations you want to compare side-by-side.
  • Dictionary speed-ups
    Changing to a different dictionary should be much faster now, as it doesn't load the whole list at the start.
  • New locale, which gives nicer references.
    Changes to the old one are:
    I Samuel -> 1 Samuel
    II Samuel -> 2 Samuel
    ...
    III John -> 3 John
    Revelation of John -> Revelation
    It now also interprets jud as Judges, instead of Jude. This means that references in the Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge (TSK) to Judges will now work properly.
  • Filter book by name
    In the book tree, you can filter the books by name by typing into the filter window.
  • Bug fixes
    Many bugs in 0.2 have been fixed
