[sword-devel] Ezra Project 0.8.0 released

[Tobias Klein]

Thanks, Troy! It took me a while in the beginning to figure out how 
Sword uses its system/user config/data directories. Looks like I hadn't 
fully understood it yet at that time.
I'm planning to improve this in the next version of Ezra Project.

Best regards,
Tobias
