Please? I want to see a release. Currently trunk seems relatively stable for usual modules, so I'd like to see a release (once a couple of patches of mine have been committed...) A major problem with alternate versification is there currently isn't any way to map between different versification schemes - which is very important for parallel views, etc. Also, quite a lot of code assumes things like 2 testaments - I'd like to give these a little time to migrate. > > On another issue: I've just sent Matthew Talbert my Phillips NT module to >> demonstrate verse linking.

Firstly, bibles have this turned off by default (this is the *only* difference I can see between swcom and swtext apart from comments... otherwise all the code looks like it has been duplicated) . Secondly, you don't get proper verse numbers. I've just been making bpbible so that it handles linked verses, so it now shows verse numbers like 1-3, 5-6, etc. It seems to happen in commentaries, but I haven't seen it in Bibles (except for the test ones I have generated).
