[sword-devel] Ezra Bible App 1.19 released

[contact at tklein.info]

I implemented some fixes in Ezra Bible App to make this repo update issue more transparent for the user. Previously it would fail completely if more than two repos do not update. I increased the threshold to three now. Also, if any repos fail to update an error message shows which exact repos failed. This fix will then be available with the next release.

Currently eBible.org seems offline.
This alone should not have caused your issue from earlier, there must have been a second repo that also did not work.

Best regards,
Tobias

Hi Fr. Cyrille and David,

I have observed this behavior from time to time. Not sure which repository is causing this.
I will investigate. The only thing I can advise here is to try again later. I agree that the behavior for individual repositories that are unavailable should not block the entire operation.
Note that this functionality (basic module assistant and repo updates) was not changed in 1.19, so at least this is not a regression.

Best regards,
Tobias

Hi Tobias,

Just installed it in my iPad Mini 4 which has iPadOS 15.8.7 (latest supported).

The following occurs whether or not the connection is via a VPN Server.

It gets stuck at 90% during Loading Languages, and eventually displays an error message.

Is perchance one of the repositories currently offline? If so, it ought to respond gracefully and work with those that are currently accessible.

Or was the root cause something else entirely ?
