Revision 700 and the Better Bible Plugin

Well folks, we've reached another milestone with OpenLP 2.0 - revision 700. And not only have we reached a big revision, the Bibles plugin is now better than before!

The importer has been reworked, both interface-wise and code-wise. It features a Wizard style interface, well known in computer interfaces these days, making it faster and easier to use the importer. The code has been changed fairly dramatically now as well, to facilitate a pluggable import system, where developers can easily add new importers with little hacking.

General searching has also been improved. We've reduced the number of times verses are pulled from the database, opting for an all-in-one-go approach, which should speed up the displaying of Bible verses, especially when displaying dual verses.

There are a few other fixes hidden in there too, but the work on the Bibles plugin is the most prominent feature of this revision.

Where does this place 2.0? Is 2.0 currently in alpha (features still being developed), beta (feature complete, but bugs being eliminated and features refined), or release candidate (known bugs eliminated, last stages of testing)? Keep up the great work!

Re: Revision 700 and the Better Bible Plugin

By your definition, 2.0 is still in alpha status. We still have a few features to implement.

Re: Revision 700 and the Better Bible Plugin

Thanks for the update. :) I'm extremely excited for the 2.0 release...holding onto the edge of my seat...you guys are getting added to my "short list" of e-ministries/projects to support (financially)...and I hope to throw some extra cash your way soon (not much, but I'll try to do little amounts on a semi-recurring basis).

update: :( I just tried to use the Support this project button on the right hand side and it says you guys haven't opted in? Do you guys need/want donations?
