[sword-devel] Ezra Project 0.8.0 released

[Michael Johnson]

What is a "known" language? One you can speak?
Check the ISO 3-letter language codes and corresponding language names. Or read the .conf files.
ALL of the languages on eBible.org have language codes that can be mapped to a language name, usually 2 language names: one in English, and one in the language it is in. Note that if you limit yourself to 2-letter language codes, you ignore most of the languages spoken on this planet. Use the 3-letter ISO codes.

I may still add some other distributions based on demand. The packaging for each of these distributions is done in individual Docker containers, which also really helped to get this done efficiently.

>>     Noticed Hebrew (module: WLC) is left justified.  You should be able to key off the config entry: Direction=RtoL

>     Thanks for the hint! Could I do that automatically based on certain information in that bible's *.conf file?
>
>>     I like that I can highlight multiple verse and then click a tag to add them to that tag.  I am not sure if they are tagged individually, or as a group, but regardless, they all seem to be tagged.

>>     I am not sure how to show all the verses associated with one of my tags.
>>
>     Click on "Select tag" (next to "Select book") in the menu above the text display area and choose one. You can also choose multiple ones. Then click on "Select tag" again to hide that dropdown.

>>     I notice you're not showing all the books associated with the current module.
>>
>
>     Yes, that's correct. At the moment the books shown is a static list. The only thing dynamic is that within that static list Ezra Project checks which of these books are actually available and disables the links if they're not.
>
>>     Great start!  Thanks for your work!  I am sure building up personal tab libraries of Bible topics and sharing those with others can be a wonderful way to study God's Word. 
>
>     Thanks for the encouragement :). Sharing a tag library could be a feature for the future. At the moment a "Word export" is implemented, but that obviously is not the same as sharing a technical database. I could implement a simple JSON or XML export/import to support such a feature.

>     There's other features besides tagging that I have on my mind. Generally I want to support the user in creating material based on the bible that is not "separate" (like separate text documents), but rather directly linked with the text.
