[sword-devel] SBL/ETS update / J2ME / Mac

[Manfred Bergmann]

Troy.

minimum Sword version 1.5.9.
Does Hesychius work with 1.5.8?
If not, I have to compile and integrate 1.5.9. Are there any API  
changes from 1.5.8 that might break something?
Unfortunately I don't know the API of Sword so if there are any  
problems I'm more or less helpless.


Best regards,
Manfred
