Bibletime 1.0 Stable Version Release.
Bibletime is the first Bible study tool specifically written for the K Desktop
Environment (KDE). It contains most of the features that are available in
commercial Bible study software  for the MS Windows environment.

Bible Texts, Commentaries, and Lexicons for Bibletime are available from
Crosswire Bible Society (http://www.crosswire.org) at no charge. The range of
texts available is larger than most commercial Bible study tools, currently
numbering over 190. These include classics like Luther's original German
translation, John Wesley's commentary (English), and Bible translations into a
number of languages (including Dutch, German, English, Spanish, Thai, Chinese,
and a number of others).

Bibletime 1.0 provides the following improvements over version 0.3:
Improved search dialog, including tools for analyzing search results, and search
progress meter.
Parallel display of multiple translations allows synchronized scrolling of
several open texts.
Unicode support allows display of texts that have different alphabets at the
same time. For example Latin, and Greek.
Select display font and color.
Printing is greatly improved and now supports print to printer and print to
postscript file
The select / copy tool has been improved to support copy to text file and copy
to HTML file
The handbook has been revised extensively.

Bibletime is available as Unix / Linux source code, and precompiled binary
packages for KDE2 / qt2 Linux systems.
The Bibletime application can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/bibletime or
http://www.bibletime.de
