V1.2.3 is mainly a bug fix release, with 1 or 2 small enhancements.

Hi All

This is a fairly minor update release, but I guess more minor to some the others :)

Changes in openlp.org 1.2.2.

- Correction for bug prevent song information display from being deactivated
- Added option to ignore saving the unsaved OOS content when selecting to open a new OOS
- Fixed bug preventing the theme export to use any folder outside of the "Documents and Settings" folder.  Themes can now be exported to any folder.

V1.2.1 is purely a bug fix release, solving

• A translation bug in the Portuguese language
• A problem if a default display was not selected in the First Run Wizard
• A display numbering issue causing "index out-of-bounds" exceptions
• A bug with the blank screen notification message being on the wrong display at startup
• A bug where in certain Windows display configurations, the Verse search button was not visible

Hi All

Just to let you know that CCLI (Germany) that has listed openlp.org on their website as projection software supporting SongSelect as well as supporting the German language.

God bless,

Well, it would appear as if there are 1 or 2 small (?) issues that I missed in my testing.  Firstly, it's important to select a monitor in the First Run Wizard.  Failure to do so will result in an error message, but the software will still run fine afterwards.

Secondly, in some cases, the Search Button in the Bible Verse Lookup goes missing.

I plan to make these corrections in the next few days and release an update. Feel free to try and find as many bugs  as you can in 1.2.0 so we can make 1.2.1 bug free :D

Hi all,

For those of you out there that don't have musicians to play music for your church service and use audio tracks, version 1.2.0 will be a welcome surprise (since it wasn't in the project plan). Due to a personal requirement, I continued development on the v1.x line of openlp.org and added the facility to play audio files. Not only that, but they can be linked to lyrics and managed together.

Hi All. 

With V1.0.1 release coming up soon, Raoul and I were thinking of possibly bundling a few additional themes with the openlp.org distribution.  I'm sure there are many of you out there who have designed some pretty awesome themes. Well, how about sharing them with everyone?

The only limitation, will be that they have to use free fonts and free images. Please submit your fonts with your exported theme files if necessary to either derekscotney[at]openlp.org or raoulsnyman[at]openlp.org.

Hi All. 

Due to the fact that neither Raoul or myself have Windows ME installed, we are looking to all you eager volunteers who do have Windows ME to give us a hand.  We have a reported bug where openlp.org V1.0 doesn't install the packaged themes properly on Windows ME, and then on exiting throws some nasty errors.

Hi All

We are fast approaching the planned release of openlp.org v1.0 at the end of this month, and we would like to put together a group of about 10 testers to put the software through it's paces to help us iron out any last issues. We would like to have a test release available by the middle of next week, and then run quick update cycles when issues are found and corrected.

Nothing sums up Christmas like the following song:

Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King.
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing.

I pray that you and your families would all have a very blessed and Christ filled Christmas. May we never forget the reason why Christ was born to us, and His gift of Grace.

Yours in Christ,

Derek.
