Good suggestion Karl. Others sound like they would also like this. May
I ask first for some feedback regarding current state of TRUNK? I
believe we have a fairly optimized impl of the old functionality running
in the new paradigm of dyn versification. We might be able to clean it
up by next week. I currently understand there are two issues:
1) non-backward-compat change of removing VerseKey::books hardcoded
array. We've talked about adding a SWORDVERSION define, but I just had
a 'doh' moment and realized we have: pkg-config --modversion sword
2) stability: we are missing bounds checks for calls into the new
VerseMgr, resulting in crashes if you, for example, ask for the max
chapter of a book which doesn't exist. I think this is the main cause
for crashes, but it would be nice to get some feedback from the frontend
developers of how stable the current code base is. After a few days of
hunting bugs and valgrinding, we can make a good decision if we should
release without dyn versification.
I would like to have a release soon, as well. We have committed to a 6
month release cycle and are about 1 month late, I believe.
