Languages
BPBible in Chinese
There are now three new languages you can use BPBible in:
- German
- Hungarian
- Chinese (Simplified)
It is now possible to use language-specific numbers rather than just using 0 - 9.
In the languages sub-menu, the language is also shown in its own language, as well as the current language.
Strong's Number Headwords
BPBible with original language headwords
It is now possible to display Strong's Numbers headwords in three different formats:
- As a Strong's Number.
- As the original language word.
- As the original language word transliterated into English.
Strong's Numbers are now shown without leading zeroes (e.g. G35 rather than G00035).
It is now possible to search for all occurrences of a Strong's Number in the Bible from the tooltip giving the definition.
Search on Strong's Numbers now allows strongs:g2500 as well as strongs:G2500.
Topic Management
Topic management now allows passages to have multiple verse ranges, such as Genesis 3: 1 - 5, 7, 9, not just a single verse range, such as Genesis 3:1 or Genesis 4:1 - 6.
Improved the formatting of multi-paragraph comments when viewing the passages for a topic.
BPBible now only displays the reference once for passages in the Manage Topics preview window, rather than once for every verse.
Fixed a bug with renaming topics after closing the Manage Topics window and opening it again.
Book support
Books that use sword:// URLs to link to other books are now supported.
Books with linked verses are now supported.
Empty verses are now skipped rather than showing a number with no content, and empty chapters now say that the chapter is empty.
Book Management
The "Manage Books" window now updates to show books that have just been installed.
Some problems with deleting books have been removed, though it still not possible to delete an open book.
Searching
Improved the error messages for searching a book with invalid XML.
The search icon on the toolbar now searches in the current window rather than always searching the Bible window.
Performance
The dictionary topic list will now be much faster, and the book selector pull-down at the top of each book window should also be faster.
Other
Improved the positioning of tooltips. Now the tooltips are aligned with the link. This should make it more easy to use tooltips with (for example) the TSK. A preview window was also added, which is a pane which is used for the tooltip information instead of a tooltip. The preview window is used instead of popping up a tooltip if:
- The preview window is open (Windows > Preview)
- Shift isn't held down (you can use shift to lock the previewer so that you can move towards it without it changing)
- You aren't hovering over a link in the preview window. If you are, a tooltip will be opened instead.
References to books with only one chapter now treat the number as the verse number rather than the chapter number. For example, Jude 7 will go to Jude verse 7 rather than displaying an error saying there is only one chapter in Jude.
The Guess the Verse activity now uses an error icon if you guess wrong. This helps you tell whether you are correct or not.
A Show verse option has been added to Guess the Verse to find out what the verse is.
The font chooser will now always show Greek and Hebrew (these fonts will be used for Greek or Hebrew even in other language text).
Also, the font chooser now display the correct title in other books and daily devotional titles, rather than the internal key.
Fixed a bug where selecting the first Bible in the Bible window's Bible dropdown changed the current chapter as well as changing the current Bible.
Fixed a bug with the Bible header bar under Linux where tooltips were incorrectly displayed after moving over it.
Fixed a bug in following some references in the Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge.
