[sword-devel] NA28 shows no verses

Mon Jun 1 20:41:11 EDT 2020

Great. Right. The final things I had on my to-do list for this release:

Renaming the __u64 style macros to something like SW_u64.

Merging the Windows FileMgr patch you have been keeping for Xiphos into something build configurable.

A large refactoring commit I have locally which completes the camelCase normalization of the public API but doesn't yet pass all unit tests. Need to debug and find what I missed.
