[sword-devel] PocketSword status

[David Haslam]

In theory, a module cipherkey could also be changed for a module update if (e.g.) the copyright owner included additional content and wished to charge users more than they paid for the earlier version.

Front-ends also need to cover that scenario, even if it’s not one we’ve seen in real life yet.

What implications might this have for the SWORD InstallMgr ?

Right now, it is, unfortunately, on hold, as I have another task in the foreground. I finished the main editing of the World English Bible, with the exception of still correcting the occasional rare typo. (I found one this morning in Ezekiel.) My foreground task at the moment is integrating SILE into Haiola for better PDF generation, especially

I'll also fix the key problem for when a module goes from locked to unlocked, which of course, will happen as copyrights expire and/or special permission is granted.
