[sword-devel] NASB and Dictionary lookup in Xiphos

[Greg Hellings]

I have submitted a PR that removes the NASHebrew/NASGreek handling code in
Xiphos. With it applied, clicking on Strong's numbers now works as expected.

Fedora packages with the applied patch are building now and will be ready
shortly. Any other packagers wishing to include this fix ASAP can fetch the
patch here, until the fix is merged and a new release is made:
