is.<br>
<br>
4.1.x is expected to be a busy development time for Xiphos.
Already with updated Sword and BibleSync, future improvements will
include heavy work on module abbreviation sanity (it's an
inconsistent hack right now; I'll write about that to sword-devel
sometime in coming weeks), more BibleSync changes, resolution of
the ("new") editor component problems, and several other items on
my mind.<br>
<br>
Problems, questions...drop a note.<br>

Source tarballs and Windows builds. Linux builds to happen as
per-platform builders do their thing.<br>
I understand Debian/Ubuntu have a problem because of the outdated
editor issue. That will be handled soon.<br>
<br>
xiphos.org references will be updated...um, probably tomorrow
sometime.<br>

XIPHOS RELEASE NOTES<br>
____________________<br>
<br>
Release 4.1.0<br>
18 Apr 2017<br>
<br>
There has been much bugfixing and a number of features and
enhancements. Internal compatibility updates were made for the new
Sword 1.8 release, notably providing some new av11n schemes.
Several flaws in Advanced Search were corrected. Ongoing changes
to stay current with our display toolkit were made. Export output
has gained headers showing what search was executed on what
module, and an export verse counting error was fixed. Pre-book and
-chapter material is visually offset from main text. (For
examples, see module ESV2011 at every chapter 1.) Due to the
availability of the new Android/iOS Sword app Bishop, which
supports BibleSync, Xiphos' use of BibleSync has been given some
attention for this release: fixed one bug; tightened up how a
warning is used; added optional on-demand-only keyboard-driven nav
sync xmit as an enhancement, so that Xiphos need not xmit every
time the user navigates.<br>
<br>
On Linux, when run under Wayland instead of Xorg, some mild
rendering flaws are seen. Wayland is new, and working under it
has provided some surprises. Please help us work toward correcting
these by submitting bug reports when appropriate.<br>
