What's new in Version 15.0

1. Current verse highlight customization under Other Look and Feel:
   1. Option: none, highlight (default), underline, box, left bar, right bar, top bar, bottom bar, left text.
   2. Verse bar size (px) default to 7.
   3. Verse left text default to ★ but can be changed to emoji. The text is placed before the verse number so when the left text option is selected the underline on the link is removed.
   4. Option also to change line or box color via Color Theme (Current verse alternate, .currentx in CSS).

   It's now possible to have both the current verse highlight and user highlight on the same verse provided they are not the same background highlight. The left screenshot shows Left bar while the right one Box.
   

2. New Display Preference: option to use icon for Navigation links. It's also available in Bible View Preferences.
3. Editor improvements:
   1. Long tap Copy verse from split pane and Paste verse range with text (from Hyperlink or Search) will now show Range dialog even if it's the last verse so that Copy settings will be used like formatting.
   2. New journal entry change date from the current date will now automatically change the Id as well.
4. Show notes date unchecked will now also hide dates in other notes in case of multiple notes but those with similar verse (range) will now have the Bible reference shown as a separator.
5. Reader's Edition view where verse numbers are not shown aside from annotations. Can be enabled in the Bible View Preferences (Bible with Gear button).

   The left screenshot shows paragraph mode (Premium/Deluxe) while the right one verse mode.
   

6. Highlight improvement for Deluxe:
   1. Added Bold, Italic and Underlined.
   2. Option to add Color for text or bar available via the Menu.
      1. Show colors to show the color selection to the right of highlight colors.
      2. Color mode: text color (default), left bar, right bar, top bar, bottom bar.
      3. Color bar size (px) default to 7.

   Note that old MySword can't display highlights with bold, italic, underline and color. Also, Current verse highlight will take precedence in case of conflict.

   The left screenshot shows color mode as text color while the right one right bar. Both also shows verse 6 in bold. (The magenta left bar in verse 1 is current highlight as left bar.)
   

7. New preference for Popup in Split windows (Deluxe): Popup select current window (use current or active split window).

What's new in Version 14.8

1. Compare/Parallel option to Use full name or title instead of abbreviation.

   

2. Notes and Journal popup: option for Edit.
3. Visual Color Theme Editor (Premium) improvement: Commentary (embedded) and Tag text/link font style can now be changed.
4. Tag (Deluxe) improvement: added Edit date useful for Own Pace Reading Plan notes stats.

Bugs Fixed in Version 14.8

1. EasyEnglish has a new abbreviation in Compare, EEB, but can't be tapped to open the EasyEnglish in whole chapter mode. (This may also be experienced with WEBME and WEBBME if the latest updates on the Bibles were not downloaded.) Reverted to old EasyEnglish abbreviation.

What's new in Version 14.7

1. Notes Editor improvement: added verse/range before the date in Notes Add/Edit multiple notes selector similar to Single notes icon list selection.
2. Updated the Journal Preferences to include Show notes/journal date similar to Notes Preferences.
3. Added option to not add date to either Notes or Journal new entry and placed this option in the Notes and Journal Preferences (outside the Editor).
4. Preferences improvement:
   1. Placed a message to download Bible Animals, Plants or Objects when None is tapped and the dictionary is not available.
   2. Placed a message to download R.M. Atlas or Rumsey when the Bible Maps option is tapped and the books are not available.
5. Button bar color (Deluxe) for Light Theme affecting Navigation Drawer color:
   1. Lower saturation (25% or lower) will now cause the navigation drawer to have similar saturation and not be fixed at 50%.
   2. Gray (saturation 0%) is now possible and will not be pink.
6. Old Bible links for WEBME and WEBBME will map to WMB and WMBB in case the new abbreviations of the updated modules are now registered by MySword (e.g. fresh download or Abbreviation cache is cleared).

Bugs Fixed in Version 14.7

1. Fixed the Editor bugs:
   1. Find in Page should use Find and Replace if no split preview but both should use Find in Page if only Preview is visible.
   2. Find and Replace followed by autosave should not save the Editor search highlights.
2. For non-Bible modules without entry and Navigation links option is unchecked the message of no entry is found no longer shows up.
3. Search with Split view (Deluxe) first open should not be full preview without search parameters and results list pane so users will not be confused.

What's new in Version 14.6

1. New Display Preference: option to show/hide Compact view bottom buttons as well as Navigation links. They are also available in Bible View Preferences.
2. New Compact mode custom button (bottom) option: Menu. So aside from the top right Menu overflow, it's now possible to set one bottom button to Menu.
3. Editor improvement: added Material Icon (Premium) to Insert menu.

   

4. Export page (Premium) improvement: option to embed Material Icon font. Browsers in recent versions of Android can no longer reference external font files because the URL now starts with content:// instead of file:// so embedding the font is the best option.
5. Tag (Deluxe) improvement: added Material Icon whose color and size can be set. Use the menu to add.

   

Bugs Fixed in Version 14.6

1. Quick menu in Bookmarks, Verse list, Tags popup y position is off in devices with cutouts in portrait mode or when MySword is opened in Split screen bottom or Popup view.
2. Modules deleted by some File Managers are just hidden by adding a dot at the beginning of the filename causing MySword to treat them as .bbl.mybible, .cmt.mybible, etc showing error (Downloaded module(s) incomplete).
3. Strong's links on text (Deluxe) with Red words and OT quote may cause the red to end on the first quote like in KJV Mat 9:13, 15:4, 9, Mar 7:10, 12:30, 31.

What's new in Version 14.5

1. Maps improvements:
   1. Fixed the Stamen maps issue being available only up to the end of October 2023.
   2. Added more maps: ArcGIS (Streets and Imagery, for Android Oreo and higher) and Esri (WorldStreetMap, NatGeoWorldMap, WorldImagery).
   3. Option to exclude ArcGIS to speed up Map initial load for slow devices.
   4. Changed the default from Stamen to Esri.NatGeoWorldMap.

   The new default Esri.NatGeoWorldMap (Rev 1:11) and ArcGIS.Imagery (2Ki 23:29-30). With ArcGIS.Imagery, if Bible Maps setting is set to Modern Maps only, the zoom level can be higher and ArcGIS provides zoom level similar to Google Maps (NASA maps can't even reach that level as it's satellite based).

   

2. Copy improvement: better support for apps that don't fully support HTML CSS styles as they are not rendered but shown instead. If there are no Red words nor OT quotes and showing them is disabled then no styles will be embedded.
3. Format (Deluxe) improvements:
   1. Option to break words on en dash and em dash or -- equivalent. Please see Preferences in the Format screen. Note that these will be counted as words so the word count will increase and old formats may adjust.
   2. Common start or end will no longer break additional format. Previously, overlap logic included contained but shorter and either flushed to the start or end so the format is broken into 2.

   Gen 1:5 BSB uses em dash (—).

   

Bugs Fixed in Version 14.5

1. Large button Editor shows Split pane to the right even if not enabled.
2. Format (Deluxe) bug: Color, highlight, box, line containing bold/italic/underlined at the end doesn't work.

2. Improved Parallel (Premium) view verse mode autoresize columns, especially for mixed languages and differing font sizes. Requires updated Android System WebView to at least version 92.

   

3. Modules with empty file names (e.g. .bbl.mybible, .cmt.mybible) will no longer show errors as they are automatically excluded and deleted.

Bugs Fixed in Version 14.4

   1. Verse - the default behavior where all keywords must be found in a verse.
   2. Chapter - all keywords must be found in the whole chapter (index will be created).
   3. Verse range - all keywords must be found in the generated verse range index. The verse range can be based on any of the Alternate sources like default.english.hdgs.twm, BSB, ISV, LEB, NET (any Bibles with both OT and NT and titles/headings that break the chapters into topics or verse ranges).

   Note that chapter and range will only work when there are more than one keyword or double quoted phrase and only for Search types Standard, Exact, No accents (diacritics) and Prefix and exact (No accents). Quoted phrases cannot span multiple verses. Also, the indexes can always be recreated which is useful for changing the verse ranges.

   Example: search on NHEB for love self-control results in having 7 entries including Gal 5:16-26 using BSB as range source.

   

Bugs Fixed in Version 14.3

1. Page scroll to bottom Parallel view (Premium) with sticky header only scrolls to the next page down.
2. Parallel view (Premium) paragraph mode no longer autoresize columns.

   2. M’Cheyne Aug 4 to Dec 31 should have Psalms first before Luke/John.

Bugs Fixed in Version 7.3.1

MySword 7.3.1 is just a bugfix and there are no new features added. The following are the bugs fixed:

1. Popups do not work properly on Large Button size setting.
   1. An error message is displayed regarding setVisibility or null.
   2. Some popups like Extract verses, Compare via long tap menu, Search results and Editor previews crash MySword.

What's new in Version 7.3

1. Search improvements for encrypted modules:
   1. For English modules, a use FTS message no longer pops up as it is already made the default.
   2. For non-English modules like ABP and HiSB, the No accent (diacritics) index is automatically selected if available and no use FTS message is displayed.
   3. Create or use FTS message now also includes No accent (diacritics) in the suggestion.
2. Grid Verse Selector improvement for tablets: chapter and verse now initially scrolls to the current making them visible in case of long list like Psa 78 and 119.
3. Bible compare improvement: the notes icon (if any) is now linked to the notes.
4. WYSIWYG Editor copy/insert verse improvements: bold, italic and words of Jesus format are now retained.
5. Lemma lookup:
   1. Support for Lemma lookup for Bibles with Morphology and parsing info like Byz2005++, GRV, GRVx, TR and TRa:
      1. The lemma link is placed besides the Morphology key
      2. The Greek and Hebrew Lemma dictionaries for lookup can be set on the Preferences. The default for Greek is either LSJ or MLSJ if present. Currently, there is no official Hebrew dictionary that can be used for Lemma lookup yet except SEC of BHSE (which is just based on BDB/Thayer/Strong).
      3. The dictionary lookup is no accent if the dictionary supports it like the LSJ and MLSJ.
   2. Lemma lookup can also be used for Strong's dictionaries: The Original line with Hebrew and Greek words afterwards will have individual word links in case the Lemma dictionaries are selected (multiple words lookup will not do). This is useful for KJV and those with Strong's but no Morphology Lemma entries so you can directly link to other dictionaries like LSJ or MLSJ.
6. Editor's Mini Bible Viewer (Premium) improvements:
   1. Modern theme is now supported.
   2. Added Copy verse button before the Close button to copy the currently selected verse into the Editor.

7. Tag (Deluxe) improvements:
   1. Additional filter types (upper left selector) aside from All, Text and Icon, and changed behavior:
      1. Used - only those that are currently used (use count is not zero). This is useful for making the Tag screen load faster.
      2. External - icons in the external folder (named icons) only. Note only the icons on the root folder are listed.
      3. sub-folders inside the external folder. This is useful for grouping external icons. Please note that in case you manually move icons from the root to sub-folders for organization purposes, take care to update also manually the folder field of the tag records affected in tags.mybible file tags table using an SQLite Manager.
      4. All - note that this does not include the sub-folders for performance reasons.
      5. Text - no longer includes used external folder icons.
   2. Filter type and filter text/key are now saved in the settings database so that they are remembered in case of reboot or MySword is evicted by the Android OS from memory.
   3. Added Menu->Default placement so you can select other than Default.
   4. Delete tag used in verses is now possible but with confirmation code.

Formerly, this is only made possible via Custom Link and using prefix r for the link but embedding HTML things is complicated. The new popup link WYSIWYG Editor simplifies that.
3. Embedded XRefs in Bible modules improvement, support for TheWord's other range formats:
   1. +Interval, e.g. , equivalent to which is already supported
   2. verse 0, e.g. , equivalent to (whole chapter)
4. Edit Cross-References (Deluxe) improvement: Search for adding verse or range.
5. Word Frequency Improvement (Deluxe) for Jellybean and higher: added option to show Bubble Chart or Word Cloud.

You can also type arbitrary sentence on the Search box to look for similar title or content.
6. New Stats and other info features (Deluxe) for Gingerbread and higher:

   3. Summary of clipboard - display the content of the clipboard highlighting the summary sentences

   2. Added new top right menu and custom button options: Verse List, Stats and other Info, and short cut to Module types (Bible, Commentary, Dictionary, Personal Notes, Journal and Book). For the bottom custom buttons, if the current view already matched the short cut (for example, you are already in Journal view and there is a Journal short cut), tapping it will switch to Bible so in effect it is a toggle to that view and Bible.
3. WYSIWYG Editor improvements:
   1. Added Insert Box (via + or Insert button). You can specify the box color, style, size and background highlight/color. You can adjust the internal margin or padding by going to Format->Style parent tag, then adjust the padding which is default to 0.2em.

6. Support for anchor/bookmark range in Journals/Books similar to Dictionary LSJ useful popup of short text like abbreviation lookup that is reusable in different entries (also just like in The Word). The anchor name should not contain hyphen (-) as it is used for range. The options are:
   1. anchor name ends with - means text from the anchor up to before the next anchor (if any) only will be included; e.g. ##goal1-
   2. anchor name followed by - then another anchor name means up to before the second anchor name; e.g. ##goal1-goal4

Using the same index used by Exact and No accents search types, Java Regular Expression pattern matching is used on the app-side and not the database-engine side unlike the other search types so this is slower (4 to 5 seconds in Nexus 7 2012 edition searching ISV). But you can achieve exact search for example: \bcry\b will only match the exact word cry as \b is for word boundary. This search is for advanced search.

4. In the Save Picture dialog, a big image that is added has a bad preview requiring a scroll down.
5. In case there are many big images and it did not crash, display and scroll can be very slow.

Bugs Fixed in Version 3.5.1

The following bugs were fixed:

1. Verse Selector / Text-to-speech Settings bug:
1. Slow load due to reinitialization of settings and module manager. The original load time of less than 1 second to 1 second became 2 or 3 seconds for regular devices or even as long as 70 seconds for installations with hundreds of modules or slow SD card.
2. Reinitialization causes having two instances of the managers that are not in sync causing the Personal Notes Editor to be locked on the initial verse and the Journal Editor to crash.

Bugs Fixed in Version 3.5

The following bugs were fixed:

   3. xhdpi - Galaxy Notes I & II, Galaxy S III, LG Nexus 4, Optimus Vu and other high pixel density devices
3. Notes icon in Bible verses is optimized and made clearer/sharper in high (hdpi) and extra high (xhdpi) pixel densities just like the above for Gingerbread and higher.

   2. Made the Exact, No accents (diacritics), Full-text search (FTS) - Standard, and FTS - Exact / No accents indexes case-insensitive for non-Latin characters like Greek. You will need to Reindex indexes created in old version of MySword.
   3. Search Limit (Premium and Deluxe) is now saved so that when you exit MySword, it is remembered the next time you search.
   4. Search history is now sorted such that the most recent search key is on the top and not at the bottom. This is very helpful for many items in the list requiring scrolling. Reusing an old key will move it to the top.

Bugs Fixed in Version 3.4

The following bugs were fixed:

1. Personal Notes bugs:
1. Insert Personal Notes entry triggers a "table commentary2 has no column named toverse..." error if an Exact or No Accent index is present.
2. Insert Personal Notes entry triggers an "error code 19: PRIMARY KEY must be unique" error if an FTS index is present.
3. Delete Personal Notes entry will not delete the FTS Exact index entry which causes insert error for the same verse.
4. Create FTS may insert wrong rowids so any updates are not reflected in the index.
5. Updating notes whose verse is not the same as the current Bible verse (may happen if you select verse or use the previous/next buttons) will change the internal current verse to that of the Bible's because of wrong refresh of the Bible view, so the next Add/Edit will show a wrong verse (the current Bible verse).
6. FTS (Standard and Exact) search result for Personal Notes is not sorted by verse but by record order. The fix requires reindexing.
2. The editor bottom buttons height is too short in Deluxe Split View for tablets with high pixel densities (hdpi or xhdpi) ASUS Pad Infinity, Acer Iconia Tab A700, Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9 (hdpi) and Nexus 10 (xhdpi).
3. Fresh install leaves empty folders in the default path if different path is chosen, and the default path as well as the new path previously do not exist.
4. Search and Download screen when closed by Android to reclaim memory if you open other apps may cause a forever spinning progress dialog when you go back to MySword and Android restores the Search or Download screen. Clicking back is not possible and a Force Close in Android Settings->Apps is necessary to restore original behavior.
5. Only the default user is supported in Jelly Bean multi-user tablets because only the default's data path is accessed so other users will throw permission denied exception.

16. Allowed a space before or after the colon in Bible verse reference, e.g. , which is needed to support RTL tweak so that the chapter and verse will properly be in RTL. Consequently, references in copy/share verse includes a space after the colon for Arabic/Hebrew UI language.

Common shortcuts like Lv for Leviticus, Mt for Matthew and so on are added. Also, verse link that is solely book name with space is now properly linked like 2 Kings.
5. Links with comma are now properly linked like which goes to Mat 4:5 instead of Mat 4:1.
6. Simple external file link support using http:// and file:// in the editor (links that starts with www. or / are converted into http://www. and file:///, respectively).

Bug's Fixed in Version 3.1

The following bugs were fixed:

1. Swipe left/right to go to previous/next page also fires in diagonal swipes which some users had noted. The sensitivity is now limited to 30 degrees or below (with respect to the horizontal) diagonal moves.
2. Create new Journal does not fire an error if the file already exists causing duplicated entries in the Journal spinner (drop-down list) even though a new journal is not created.
3. Initial install then download of modules always fail on the Sample journal because of wrong file name. However after restarting MySword the next try will work because the downloaded file list has a correct file name.
4. Link tap in Deluxe version does not look for similar module type on the right view first but always from left to right.
5. Highlighting and add/remove Personal verse notes in ICS may not scroll back to the current verse.
6. There is an unwanted space at the beginning of the table if it was preceded by a list (bullet or number) when loaded to the Editor. This causes the table to be broken when saved.
7. Problems with Select Modules Path other than the default path:
• Fresh install cannot use non-default path because MySword 3.0 is still using the default path.
• MySword cannot run if the default path cannot be created (/sdcard is not writable if the there is no SD Card in some models).
• Upgrade from MySword 2.4 which used non-default path cannot use that path because MySword 3.0 is still using the default path.
• Reinstall (uninstall/install) cannot use non-default path because MySword 3.0 is still using the default path.
8. View settings like navigation positions are not saved sometimes upon exit.
9. Some force close due to NullPointerException.
10. Fresh load of MySword then going to a new book for the first time will show there are no entries and suggests to create one. This may also happen when a link to a journal entry is clicked and you switch to a new book.
11. Fresh install of MySword may create 2 copies each of the 7 default journals, one copy in the journals folder and another in the journalsbig causing "Failed to initialize UI. Invalid location -1, size is 0" in the first run. The latter folder is supposed to be empty. The duplicate only happens if the file system is not FAT32/VFAT and file names are case sensitive (SD Card is normally formatted as FAT324). Succeeding runs will show duplicate entries in the Journal selector.
12. Reference/Translators' notes popup long text is not scrollable if font is specified.
13. Reference/Translators' notes with ' (singly quote) are cropped (e.g. NHEB Act 23:9 c, LEB Mat 17:22 2nd + one more, KJV Gen 20:3 + 40 more) while those with % shows Processing failed... (e.g. Mat 1:25 WPNT 2).
14. There are some remaining Bible or HTML tags in Share verse.
15. The Journal Id and Dictionary Word selector buttons are too narrow in Holographic Theme for High density screens and a little narrow for QVGA.
16. Table header text is not visible in Black background because the CSS is hardcoded. It should just follow the Parallel table color.

What's new in Version 3.0

1. New Preferences:
• Orientation (Automatic, Portrait or Landscape). Some tablet devices default to Landscape when Auto-rotate screen is disabled but if the user wanted Portrait, the Auto-rotate sometimes is distracting. This preference will select the preferred orientation.
• Button size (Normal, Larger). The larger will be very useful for tablets like Galaxy Tab 8.9/10.1 especially for people having difficulty with small icons.
• Honeycomb Theme (Default, Holographic Dark or Holographic Light) for Honeycomb and up tablets. Honeycomb and up tablets now default to Holographic Dark but the user still can change the theme. Galaxy Tab 8.9/10.1 users will be happy to see the UI especially button text to be easily readable. The UI is now better integrated with Honeycomb.
2. Main screen improvements:
• Changed the Previous/Next Chapter/Verse buttons on the top from Up/Down to Left/Right arrows to be more intuitive.

4. Editor improvements:
   • Added unlimited undo/redo capability for the editors (Premium version only). Added undo and redo buttons.
   • Added cut button.
   • Added highlight button that displays the highlight colors that can be used to highlight selected text. This uses the %classname text% MySword textile wiki syntax.
   • Improved the Bold, Italic and Underline button action behavior so that when there is no selection the cursor is placed in between the Wiki tags and not at the end so the user can just type the text he wanted to be emphasized.
   • Split screen where the orginal editor is on the left with a Module viewer on the right (the Premium version Mini Bible viewer is just a Bible viewer but this right pane can display also other module types). This is Tablet Deluxe version.
5. Reorganized the modules and database paths by moving all the databases to the modules path's specific folder per type: bookmarks.mybible, highlight.mybible and settings.mybible go to mydata folder; versenotes.mybible goes to notes; all bibles formerly on the top folder are moved to bibles folder, books to books folder, commentaries to commentaries folder, dictionaries to dictionaries folder, and journals to journals folder. This will now easily enable easy folder synchronization with Cloud storage servers and thus sync your PC notebook/desktop backup and your Android devices.
• Please see Cloud storage MySword data backup and synchronization
6. Removed the (-)Lite/Full in the Bible Abbreviation copy/share verse.
7. Added long tap/click Verse Select button for Enter Verse Dialog via keyboard. Spaces are optional for fast entry and you can use dot instead of colon. E.g. ma = Mat 1:1, ma5 = Mat 5:1, ma5.10 = Mat 5:10, 1j = 1 Joh 1:1.
