[sword-devel] Memory leak caused by InstallMgr::refreshRemoteSourceConfiguration()

2021-03-26 Thread Jaak Ristioja

Hello!

Valgrind detects a memory leak in Sword 1.9.0 which can be reproduced by 
running `installmgr -sc` when no "${HOME}/.sword" exists.


The bug seems to be caused by the refreshRemoteSourceConfiguration() 
method of InstallMgr which overwrites sources[is->caption] without 
freeing the previous value.


Best regards,
J

Interesting observations, Peter.

It was way back in December 2013. I searched the archives for FirefoxOS 
(without the space).

In the email thread, Stephan mentioned what now redirects to this

https://zefanja.github.io/biblez-ng/app/

The Module Manager is now very slow.
It never completes the egg-timing.  Abandon-ware???

The last email from Stephan was dated Jun 26, 2017
Subject: CORS API
and was in response to Simon Biggs, who made only a fleeting appearance in the 
mailing list in December 2016 and shortly after that.

Best regards,

David

[sword-devel] Transliterated forms?

2021-03-26 Thread David Haslam
How does each front-end app render transliterated forms encoded using the xlit 
attribute of the OSIS w element?

Is this neglected aspect of front-end design considerations partly because so 
few Bible modules have this feature?

Aside: I’m about to submit a module update that adds this feature.

The .conf file includes

GlobalOptionFilter=OSISXlit

IMHO, merely displaying the xlit data as inline text after each word is less 
than ideal.
It would be better handled in a similar manner to Strong’s and Morph.

Best regards,

David

[sword-devel] KaiOS, Firefox OS

2021-03-26 Thread ref...@gmx.net
Years ago we had a couple of people here on the list who worked on HTML 5 apps 
for , I think Firefox OS. Firefox Os was , unsurprisingly, a Linux system, 
which equally unsurprisingly went nowhere, or so it seemed. 

Recently I stumbled over the fact that Firefox has actually made a resurgence 
in form of KaiOS, which apparently is making huge inroads in both India and 
Africa. In India it is the second system, at around 11% , rising, of the market 
acc Wikipedia and Android (at 79%, falling). In Sub Saharan Africa it is taking 
over the market of J2ME phones (where we had an app for)

The current top phone for that market is called the Nokia 8210 or so which goes 
on Amazon for around £49. It can get jailbroken and can run a non-spyware 
version of KaiOS called GerdaOS. 256mb RAM and 4Gb ROM is the spec of that. But 
KaiOS is open to app submissions and actively encourages this. Whatsapp etc 
e.g. are on that. So jailbreaking might actually not be necessary other than to 
allow initial sideloading of an app. 

Questions: 

Are those who worked on Firefox OS still active here on the list? 

Could Bishop run on a system like this? 

What other HTML5 based apps did we have over the years passing by here? There 
were a few, I think, also something for another phone operating system which 
was promising but got nowhere. SlideOs or some such.
