[sword-devel] 1 bug left for 1.5.8

[Daniel Glassey]

> ATM morph entry attributes are only parsed for certain markup types,
> not for all. Please make this work consistently, as BibleTime makes
> use of the EntryAttributes Search, and it would be nice if the next

This is the details of the only bug left in the library for 1.5.8. If 
this bug isn't important enough please move it to a future release. If 
anyone can fix it please do. If there are any library bugs that aren't 
in the tracker please put them there or 1.5.8 will be released without a 
fix.

Regards,
Daniel
