<p><font face="FreeSerif">BTW, I'm entirely aware that it's been
over a year since last Xiphos release, too. Frankly, I have lost
heart. I was on quite a roll as Xiphos went into v4-land (av11n)
and gained quite a few other new features around that time
(BibleSync, CSS, module abbrevs), along with fixing a pile of
longstanding bugs that had been haunting me -- roughly early
2014 to summer 2015. But when engine release overdue-ness
reached the year-plus stage, I discovered that I can't justify
giving a damn.</font></p>
