[sword-devel] SwordReader beta 1

[David Trotz]

I am happy to announce my first official beta version of SwordReader 
since the rewrite I started early last year. This version as 95% of all 
the functionality I expect to have in a 2.0 release. I plan to spend 
however long it takes in the beta phase to have a solid first release. I 
can use all the feedback and testers I can get in order to achieve this 
goal, so I am cc'ing this email to the sword-devel list.

This current build has support for biblical texts, commentaries, and 
dictionaries.
Biblical texts have support for strongs/morph pop ups as well as 
footnotes and cross-references.
Commentaries have support for scriptural reference pop-ups.
Dictionaries should have support for scriptural references, but as of 
yet they do not.
All views can be accessed from the tabs at the bottom of the screen.

Known issues:
If you switch from the bible view to a commentary view while the text is 
still loading, then try to load a scriptural reference from the 
commentary, there is a good chance you will crash the application.
Smartphone support is not included in this build. Not sure when we will 
get Smartphone support back.
