<div dir="ltr">We're hoping to have an impending Sword 1.7.3 release soon. As such, I have attempted to merge only bug fixes and such over from the SVN trunk to the sword-1-7-x branch. A highlight of some of the improvements since 1.7.2:<div>
<br></div><div>JIRA fixes for</div><div>MODTOOLS-1</div><div>MODTOOLS-64</div><div>API-159</div><div>API-158</div><div>API-164</div><div>Study filter now defaults to off like other filters</div><div>Additional code examples</div>
<div>Vastly improved and updated flatapi/C bindings</div><div>Better standards compliance</div><div>Better error detection and reporting</div><div>Multiple small render improvements</div><div>Changes to how preverse content is rendered by the engine</div>
<div>Many fixes to utilities</div><div><br></div><div>Several of these (especially study filters, error reporting, and preverse content) will affect front-ends. Please, check out sword-1-7-x and check. Make sure it builds for you, using all your favorite options and settings. Also, build your favorite front end(s) against it and see how they fare. Some of these changes are old (January) some are brand new (last night) so front ends might not all be completely savvy.</div>
<div><br></div><div>As always, please report bugs. It is known, at the least, that the preverse content rendering is not completely fixed yet so 1.7.3 won't release until that is fixed.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, if you're geeky enough, please check I didn't break API or ABI compatibility with this. It is our intention for 1.7.3 to be a drop-in replacement for 1.7.2 including only bug fixes, so if I've accidentally merged a breaking change, we'll need to identify that and revert it properly.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks for following along, and please! Test and report failures/successes.</div><div><br></div><div>--Greg</div></div>
