I have good and bad news. I've been accepted to attend a summer class overseas, during June 16-Aug 5. I am not planning any more work on BibleCS before I leave.

I'd like to hear some requests regarding peoples desires for BibleCS during this timeframe.

New features currently:

        Build against 1.5.8 engine (previous release is against 1.5.6)
        Added indexed search support.
        Added UTF-8 i18n support in UI.
        Probably some bug fixes along the way.

We can:
a) release a beta tonight and a final in a week (if nothing major is broken).
        b) wait until after the summer and add more features then.


The down side of releasing now is that it's been a long time between BibleCS releases, and it might be a discouragement to people when they only see the above changes after such a long time. They usually won't notice the changes from the engine update, except that it will allow them to view newer modules, like the upcoming NASB-- but they probably would have never know that they couldn't have viewed it with the previous release.

        Looking forward to hearing what you think,

                -Troy.

Troy,
It has been some time since you posted a beta of BibleCS. Will you be putting together another beta based on the released 1.5.8 Sword API? As JSword is just about ready for a 1.0 release, I'd be glad to do some testing.
