Today Bibledit-Gtk 4.1 was released.

Bibledit is a Bible editor.
It is available at http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/bibledit or
http://bibledit.org.

Changes:

30 August 2010

It is easier to delete a row of project notes since the remaining notes
redisplay immediately.

Accessing the references history also goes through Ctrl-G.

Spelling checker in the USFM view.

Imports Bibles from the Online Bible.

Requires a local web server such as Apache.

Requires libsoup.

Runs again on the Mac.

Reference exchange with Xiphos and BibleTime goes through the local web
server.

The one snapshots database per project was split into databases for each
chapter. Note that the one-time automatic conversion will take a good
while to complete.

On shutdown, maintenance on the git repositories and the sqlite
databases and other things may be done, depending on the usage of these
items.

Collaboration through git now runs through external programs, greatly
enhancing the responsiveness of Bibledit.


The show project notes dialog shows how many notes would be displayed if
the current selection would be applied.

The English versification system was corrected in 3 John 15 and Rev.
12:18. Both verses were omitted so it conforms to the majority of
English translations.

Improvements to clarity and brevity in the references window.

Includes the ptx2pdf package and can use xetex.

Exports the stylesheet to Paratext format.

Can use XeTeX's font mapping technology so that e.g. Farsi numerals are
printed in all Farsi instead of in Latin numerals.

Can copy the contents of the References Window to the clipboard.

Project notes are no longer stored in a database but in flat files.

Can set XeTeX shaping engine options, e.g. "arab" for Farsi printing.


The project notes, also known as consultation notes, can be shared in a
team.

The name "Bibledit" now covers a suite of programs, no longer one
program.

Foundations are being laid for a web-based version of Bibledit, called
Bibledit-Web, as part of the Bibledit suite.

The former "Bibledit" has been renamed "Bibledit-Gtk", and has become
part of the Bibledit suite.

Bibledit-Gtk always shares focus with Bibledit-Web.
