[sword-devel] BPBible 0.2

[Ben Morgan]

Hi All,

Happy Easter.

I've just release BPBible 0.2, my Python based Bible viewer.
It's homepage has moved to bpbible.googlecode.com, where it is being hosted.

Some of the new features:

   - Linux support, in addition to Windows support
   - Gospel Harmony feature
   - Strong's Headwords support - show the (transliterated Greek or
   Hebrew) word instead of the number
   - Version comparison window
   - Sticky tooltips - detach a tooltip for later use
   - Back and Forward buttons
   - Tidier Copy Verse Dialog
   - Quite a few keyboard shortcuts to speed up your browsing. For
   example:
   - Quick copy - just select a range and press Ctrl-Shift-C to copy the
      verses selected in the style you last used
      - Quick reference lookup - just press g and type
      - Quick search - just press s and type
      - Many more fixes and tweaks

There are no Linux binaries available, but it's reasonably easy to build (I
hope).

I would really love as many people as possible to try this out, and give
suggestions for improvement. That way I can prioritize certain areas of the
software. And if anyone wants to help...

Can anyone try it out on a Mac? wxPython is meant to be cross-platform, but
past experience shows it can take a few changes to get it working under a
different platform.

Hopefully I will get my Install Manager troubles worked out before the next
version of BPBible, so that it will have a remote install manager.

God Bless,
Ben
