[sword-devel] Ezra Project 0.17.0 released

[Tobias Klein]

Hi all,

Ezra Project 0.17.0 has just been released.

https://github.com/ezra-project/ezra-project/releases/tag/0.17.0

Ezra Project 0.17.0 is the first version that runs on Android tablets 
(at least Android 5 with a 7" screen). Supporting this new platform has 
been the major change in this release. Note that initially, the UI for 
Android is only available in English. You can install Ezra Project from 
the Google Play Store 
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.ezraproject.cordova>. 
Aside from that, the new version comes with a few improvements and bugfixes.

Note-worthy improvements and fixes are:

  * Add option to open verse lists in new tab directly (tagged verse
    lists, xrefs).
  * Directly select whole input text when clicking on tag filter.
  * Integrate information "About Ezra Project" in Info Dialog.
  * Application did not work with non-ascii user directories on Windows.
  * Fixed bug: Could not install certain modules where the module id is
    not located in the first line of the *.conf file.
  * The basic application architecture has been changed significantly in
    order to support re-use of 99% of the code base. Backend and
    frontend functionality are now running in two different processes. A
    positive side effect is that the startup performance has improved
    due to that.

Details regarding changes can be found in the changelog
