Merry Christmas from the Xiphos development team. The source tarball was built and put onto SourceForge a few minutes ago. Package builders should be doing their thing over the next day or three. The Win32 installer will be uploaded to SourceForge when it's ready; Linux *.rpm and *.deb will appear in their usual places.
Significant development since September or so: - Xiphos-internal interface language selector. - Bookmarks are exportable. XML, HTML, plaintext. - Xiphos' main window navigation can be sampled and driven via external programs such as Bibledit, notably in support of Bible translators' work. - Universal synchronization has been implemented between the main window and all detached windows, including embedded parallel tab. - Several new interface translations: Russian, Romanian, Spanish, Chinese. - Huge improvements have been made to startup, search, and module manager setup times, due to internal refactoring of the usage of the Sword library. - The verse annotation feature localizes verse references. - Many dependencies on GNOME libraries have been removed. - When doing searches, both sidebar and advanced, the "purplify" word-match facility has been rewritten from the ground up, and correctly identifies search keywords. - Corrections were made to text justification handling for RtoL languages. For those neck-deep in the code: - Function prototypes are enforced. - The debug build of Xiphos includes substantial null pointer detection in the use of certain common string functions. - The ImageMagick dependency is gone, replaced with GTK functions. - Timers have been implemented to show SWMgr creation delays. In a couple months, we will follow up this release with the forthcoming 3.2 for support (finally) for av11n and xulrunner/webkit Windows display driver. cheers, --karl _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: [email protected] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
