Oddly, I had to add sqlite to the packaging for Nixpkgs.

No such issues on Fedora.</div>

<div> <font face="FreeSerif">Xiphos release <a href="https://github.com/crosswire/xiphos/releases" target="_blank">4.5.0</a><br>
<br>
Last release was in June. That was kind of
intermediate due to some security bugs. Turns out,
there were several more lurking, now handled by
generous contributors, mostly dealing with internal
URL handling.<br>
<br>
A lot has happened since June. Notably, bookmark
folder colors have given way to bookmarked verse
colorization per folder color, including mouse-hover
reveal of which bookmark(s) induced a verse's
colorization. Also, display of entire Bible books is
available in main display (only; not parallel, not
dialogs) at Prefs → Options → Display whole Bible
books. Those 2 features induced the jump straight from
4.4 → 4.5, in consideration of the volume of display
code updates they required. A bunch of display gotchas
have been repaired, such as broken checkmark images in
Prefs and Mod.Mgr. There is a modules "Favorites"
category in sidebar display. Saved parallel sets are
available in Prefs. A direct reference to Google
Translate is available by mouse-sweeping some Heb/Grk
text and using the context menu option. AndBible
bookmarks can be imported. Verse list multi-sets can
be optionally selected via a popup menu. Multi-column
display has been expanded to 8 due to recent
experience with large monitors. Margin justification
defaults on.<br>
<br>
A couple screenshots of bookmark colorization + user
annotation highlight can be seen <a href="http://ftp.xiphos.org/sword/pub/xiphos/binaries/images/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br>
<br>
The Windows build is internal to the release process,
already present at the release page. As well, there
are initial builds for Fedora 42/43/44, RHEL 9/10, and
Ubuntu (via alien(1)) available at <a href="http://ftp.xiphos.org/sword/pub/xiphos/binaries/" target="_blank">this link</a> but pumpkin
holders by distro should get up to speed in due time.<br>
<br>
The issues list is down to a bare dozen, from a high
of over 100 this time last year. Half of what remain
are wish list items without a clear path forward.<br>
<br>
Huge thanx particularly to Cyrille for his many
contributions.<br>
