[bd-users] [bibledesktop] New Release of Bible Desktop

[Michael Crider]

Thanks for the great work. I have an icon that runs the latest nightly 
from webstart (except those rare times when it is completely broken), 
and I've enjoyed using the parallel version feature. I like the way it 
was finally implemented.
Keep up the good work.
Michael
