Greetings!

We are happy to announce the availability of MySword 4.1 for download. MySword 4.1's major features are separation of Books from Journals, popup improvements, other links as popup and faster subsequent initial loading of the app.

Please go to the Download MySword page.

The noteworthy new features of MySword 4.1 are:

  1. Separation of Books from Journals.
    1. A new Yellow B icon for Book is made available for the Bottom buttons.
    2. The new Book view Top bar buttons is similar to Dictionary and has 8 shortcut buttons.
    3. The Editor will now use k for Book link instead of j which is now used exclusively for Journal. Old Notes and Journal entries with j links to books will still work though.
    4. There are new Preferences for Books as they are now separated from Journals: Modules Management and Buttons Arrangement.
  2. Popups improvements:
    1. Other links as popup: dictionary, Strong's, commentary, notes, book and journal. Consequently, the Preferences section for these and Nice popup are now moved to second level named Popups.
    2. Added Close All button on popups to close all popups in case of popups are opened from popups.
    3. Added Preferred OT and NT translations for Bible popups.
  3. New Bible view preferences for Interlinear Bibles (Preferences->Other Look and Feel, or in Premium Bible view Preferences button):
    1. Show transliteration
    2. Show interlinear text
  4. Faster subsequent initial loading of MySword by caching the basic module information into the settings database. MySword with 100 modules that loads for 3 seconds in Nexus 7 now loads for 2 seconds. Users with hundreds of modules and slow SD card (internal or external) will benefit much.
  5. Search Personal Notes with blank or empty keyword will list all notes.
  6. Support for Samsung Multi-window feature.
  7. Temporary SQLite files are automatically deleted:
    1. At start up while modules are picked up from folders.
    2. After search index creation.
    3. Save and delete Personal Notes or Journal entry.
    4. Save tag, bookmarks and highlights.
    5. Upon exit, settings temporary file is deleted.
  8. Better fresh install button arrangement.
  9. Share improvement: option for No verse numbers for each verse in multiple verses (Premium Feature).
  10. Editor improvement: Insert Journal link in Personal Notes now always includes the journal name (Premium Feature).
  11. Tag (Deluxe Feature) improvements:
    1. Tapping the notes preview text in the list will automatically launch the Notes Editor.
    2. An icon with notes now has an underline indicator at the bottom.

The following bugs were fixed:

  1. Bible links as popup does not use the specified Translation in the link (e.g. [[Joh 3:16/KJV]] will still use the current translation even if it is not KJV).
  2. In full screen mode, tapping the tag icon with notes toggles the display of the buttons.
  3. Save navigation history limit of 100 or higher slows down the startup. Galaxy Y with 175 entries almost hangs it while Sony Neo L with 200 entries slows down to 120 seconds start. Faster devices are faster.
  4. Note and journal Bible links in languages whose book name is in Greek or contains extended Latin characters do not display and work properly.
  5. Tapping pictures to be viewed in Android Gallery crashes the gallery in some devices running ICS 4.0.4 like Sony's.
  6. In the Editor, if there is a !" followed by another ! after some text, that will be treated as an image so it looks like the text is cropped.
  7. Creation or recreation of search index for Books fails because of null tags.
  8. Paragraph mode (Premium feature) for Bibles without paragraph tags (e.g. BBE) becomes just one paragraph per chapter.
  9. Share (Premium feature) of non-Bible content contains the simplified footer navigator in case the word version did not fit in the view.
  10. Share and insert Bible link with text (Premium feature) will not strip off official MySword tags like HTML font tag found in some third party created modules.
  11. Copy verse range sometimes uses the Bible in another split view (Deluxe).
  12. In Compare mode, adding or editing a tag's custom placement causes a crash because the translation to use is not known.
  13. Non-FTS Exact search (Deluxe) and Non-FTS No accent search (Free) for books do not return any results.
  14. Multiple rows split (Deluxe) where one view is maximized, tapping a Bible link only restores the current row and the other rows are not made visible.
  15. Tag icon with notes (Deluxe) does not display embedded icons, e.g. Notes with !{width:32px}Face-smile.svg!

We are making MySword better. Thank you for your feedback.

Enjoy using MySword!
