[bt-devel] Next stable release

[Daniel Owens]

I have heard nothing more about the latest sword release, but I have 
done some further work on the Westminster Hebrew Morphology module. Here 
is a summary of how the module works in BibleTool (online) and BibleTime:

- Lemma lookup: Works in BibleTool (not BibleTime)
- Lemma search: Works in BibleTool (not BibleTime)
- Morph lookup: Works in BibleTool (this will need to be explored in 
BibleTime after the release because of the case-sensitive issue)
- Morph search: Works in BibleTime (not BibleTool), but case-sensitive 
issue crops up as well

Morph search may work better than I know. Does anyone know, can you do a 
case-sensitive search in BT? That will be the key to an effective morph 
search. After that, lemma search needs to work. (By the way, the link 
http://lucene.apache.org/core/1_4_3/queryparsersyntax.html in the search 
help in BT no longer leads to anything.)

If anyone is interested in having a single-book module (Ezekiel) for 
testing/development purposes, I can send you one.
