Oct 10, 2017
  • Added a new Czech locale.

New in BPBible Portable 0.5.3 (Oct 10, 2017)

  • Fixed a bug which meant that all reference tooltips were showing with a grey line underneath the contents.
  • Fixed a bug which meant that images didn't show in OSIS books.
  • Fixed a bug which meant that searches were not permitted if the word didn't occur in the current book (even if related words did).
  • For example, in the KJV "sloth" could not be used to search for "slothful".
  • Fixed a bug where highlighting the word searched for produced strange results if the verse had a passage tag.

New in BPBible Portable 0.5.2 (Jun 21, 2013)

  • Improvements:
  • Strong's Number HighlightingStrong's Number Highlighting
  • The display of Strong's Number / morphology information for a book has been improved:
  • It is possible to have the information for a particular word only show on hover or on click rather than showing all the time.
  • It now highlights all the other places in the current window where the original language word currently being hovered over is used.
  • The presentation of text in the version comparison window has been improved.
  • It is now possible to turn off the orange reference bar at the top right of the Bible window (it will default to off). This was because it would shadow too much of the text.

  • Fixed a bug where the error message would never go away if an invalid reference was entered in the quick selector (e.g. John 50:1).

  • Fixed a bug where in some cases footnotes and headings would never appear.
  • Fixed a bug which meant that scriptural tooltips would not work when in column mode.
  • Made handling of the OSIS tag in some Bibles and other books handle more cases.
  • Removed the tooltip from the search textbox to prevent it from obscuring search text.
  • Fixed a bug which meant that NT-only books would continue to show "Loading..." if Genesis 1:1 was displayed.
  • Made line breaks in Robinson work correctly.
  • Fixed a bug which meant that comments on verses with discontinuous ranges could
  • cause an error.
  • Fixed a bug which meant that books in a Right to Left script were being shown Left to Right in the parallel table in the version comparison window.
  • Fixed a bug which caused crashes when changing fonts or display options after changing the current language.
  • Fixed a bug preventing the search index from being built with the latest version of the KJV.

  • Fixed a bug where the current verse would change when changing versions, even if the current verse was on-screen.
  • Fixed a bug which meant that BPBible would just display "Loading..." if you went to a verse that didn't exist (like Mark 9:46 in the ESV).
  • Fixed a bug where BPBible would not let you change how Strong's Headwords were displayed.
  • UPDATE (12/02/2012): A new build (0.5.1.1) has been released to fix the following problems:

New in BPBible Portable 0.4.7 (Aug 13, 2010)

  • Languages:
  • Fixed a bug where the bookname language would always display in the menu as Afrikaans after the main language had been changed to a different language (though the bookname language would actually be the main language).
  • Fixed encoding issues which caused unwanted accents in Spanish.
  • Made Devenagari scripts larger under Windows 7, since the OS would display them as far too small.
  • Improvements:
  • If you search for a Strong's Number from the version comparison window, it will now switch the current Bible to the Bible you used to search from. This ensures you will not get no results because the current Bible does not have Strong's Numbers.
  • If the current Bible is not complete (e.g. it is New Testament only), Guess the Verse will now only show verses to guess that are present in the current Bible.
  • BPBible has been updated to use the latest version of PLY.

  • Fixed a crash when invalid references are entered in the harmony window.

New in BPBible Portable 0.4.6 (Jun 18, 2010)

  • Language - There are now three new languages BPBible can be used in:
  • Lithuanian
  • Romanian
  • Portuguese
  • We have also added Nepali Bible book names and abbreviations.
  • Topic Management
  • A toolbar icon was added to order topics by passage order. Coloured tags
  • Added support for coloured topic tags.
  • When clicking on a tag, the passage that was clicked on will now by visible in the passage list on the screen.
  • Minimised the chance of permissions errors in Topic Management preventing the rest of the application from working.
  • Prevented crashes when no topic was selected.
  • Prevented showing a tooltip in the main window from hiding Topic Management if it was the currently active window.
  • Other enhancements
  • Prevented BPBible from reloading the verse comparison window if the new passage is contained within the current passage. For example, if you had Genesis 3:1 - 5 open and changed the main Bible window to Genesis 3:2 it would not change the verse comparison window to Genesis 3:2.
  • Added support for viewing images in an external image viewer. Thanks to warkot for the original patch. New book selector
  • Made the book chooser dropdown include the book description as well as the book name.
  • The quick verse selector and the quick search selector now allow non-Latin characters to be entered. It is also possible to paste text into them from the clipboard. If a reference is mistyped then the window will now stay visible to allow you to correct it rather than vanishing.
  • Added a number of keyboard shortcuts (see http://code.google.com/p/bpbible/wiki/KeyboardShortcuts).
  • When the search window is displayed using Ctrl-F, the search text field is highlighted by default.
  • Other bug-fixes
  • A bug has been fixed that caused an "Errors have occurred" message box to appear when BPBible was closed after using Topic Management in Windows.
  • Prevented excess whitespace being displayed around headings.
  • Fixed a crash in the "Set Font" dialog when there is a book in the language "Norwegian Bokmal".
  • Prevented BPBible from crashing when there are too many items in the history.
  • Prevented a crash in book selection when all books had been filtered out.
  • Cross references from OSIS commentaries now refer to the current Bible rather than to the commentary.
  • Made OSIS references to distinct passages appear as distinct passages in the tooltip.
  • Fixed crashes when using non-English numbers in the header bar (e.g. Hindi/Nepali numbers).
  • Fixed crashes in rare cases when the system locale fails to load properly.
  • Made search work better when a stemmed search is performed with an index that was built before stemming was added.
  • Fixed crashes when building an index with stemming for a Russian text.
  • Fixed a bug with newer versions of wxPython where unmaximising a window would display every search window.
