[sword-devel] Module release: KJV

[Donna Whisnant]

Hmm..  OK.  Interesting.  I guess Blayney missed one ...  though I don't know that I like this change in general, as it's going to make it much more difficult to search for things like "Caesar".  Who spells it "Cesar"?  Seems it would have been best to have just left it the even more correct composed form of "Cæsar" from the Latin...

I thought that the origin of this 1769 text was from the Scofield variation of the Oxford text instead of Blayney?  Is that not true?

Oh well ... thanks for the clarification.  And on the extra space, I wasn't intending for a there to be another update just for that -- just wanted to report it so you can check in the change to version control for the next release so it doesn't get overlooked...

Thanks,
Donna

While I'm not sure that that's technically the correct spelling, as opposed to just decomposing the character into "ae" and "AE", I wanted to point out that you missed one.
