Hello!

The BibleTime team is proud to announce the immediate availability of
BibleTime version 3.0 RC 1, which is the first release candidate in
the stable 3.0 series of BibleTime.

Notable changes since 2.11.2:

Enhancements:
 * Text windows now have continuous scrolling from the beginning to
end of a module. At the end of a chapter just keep scrolling to see
the next chapter.
 * You don't have to open the Personal Commentary for writing. Edit it
in a normal text window or even when it is a parallel column in a text
window.
 * Automatic text scrolling up or down with variable speed and pause.
 * Copy to clipboard by choosing the beginning and ending reference.
 * A search filter was added in the "Install Works" page of the
Bookshelf Manager.
 * You can select text from a single column when using parallel texts
in a window.
 * Added a user interface to delete or create search indices.
 * The first time the Bookshelf Manager is used in a session, the
remote libraries are updated.
 * Improved popup menus and icons for module chooser buttons and text
window headers.
 * Show module unlock information in about text when available.
 * Improved unlocking of modules.

Bugs fixed:
 * Locked Bible not unlocking properly
 * Place not being saved in Daily Devotional.
 * Problems with MAG window references using  hebrew modules OSHB and
OSMHB
 * Unable to create a search scope for deuterocanonical books
 * Searching with quotes not working.
 * MAG windows Strongs references not working unless config settings
were saved.

documentation (handbook and howto). We have amended the build system
to generate the documentation by default, but this can optionally
disabled. See README.md for details.
