[bt-devel] cvs test complete

[anthony kerr]

I just did a fresh cvs compile of both sword and bt, the compile went 
smoothly. I have done an extensive test, and have written notes as follows. 
There are quite a few things here, but don't be discouraged, we love your 
labour of love.

1.The BHS is rendered much cleaner now.

However there is still a problem with certain holem-waws. However many are 
rendered correctly. I think I have identified a pattern now.

When the cantillation marks are turned off, all holem-waws that follow a 
consonant with no vowels are rendered under that same consonant, rather than 
to the left of it.

Conversely, when the cantillation marks are turned on, most holem-waws are 
rendered correctly, except for the case in say Genesis 1:5  לָאֹור which has 
no cantillation marks under the aleph, and the holem-waw slides in under the 
aleph.

2. On any module if I didn't have the option line break after every verse on,  
then when I selected a verse which was below the veiw area of the bible 
window, bibletime wouldn't move me to the correct place in the text. I would 
have to manually scroll down. But with line breaks on between verses there 
was no problem.

This carried over into the search display window, when I clicked on one of the 
search result references the display window didn't move to show me that verse 
and so I had to scroll through heaps of text to see it. (this has been the 
case for a while now, I just have forgottent to report it).

3.As for printing, I was only able to print a chapter, I wasn't able to print 
just one verse.  I also wasn't able to print just the references from the 
search results, so had to print reference and text. Being able to print just 
the references is a useful feature.

I did like the ability of the old print manager to add multiple print jobs 
(i.e. individual verses) before finally sending to print. This seems to be 
lost in the new system. However it isn't that important to me, so don't spend 
time on it on my account.

4. Also the rendering was a bit funny for the NA27 greek text i.e. John 16:1 
(what I am studying at the moment).
1Ταῦτα RD APN <οὗτος> λελάληκα V 1XAIS <λαλέω> ὑμῖν RP DP <σύ> ἵνα C <ἵνα> μὴ 
D <μή> σκανδαλισθῆτε V 2APSP <σκανδαλίζω> .
with the greek words appearing between < >.

Other greek text modules were OK.

5. The strongs/morph numbers show up as part of the text, and the ability to 
turn them on and off has been lost. Is this because BT is transitioning to 
accommodate the info display system? It is very helpful to be able to turn 
the strongs/morph codes on and off.
