What's new in Version 15.7

1. New tablet option: Show page navigation in Compact mode. Left/Right arrow buttons around verse or topic will show up for previous and next chapter or page navigation.
2. Map geo database will now be recreated automatically in case it's corrupted or entries become truncated.

Bugs Fixed in Version 15.7

1. Editor's Edit Style (CSS) current or parent tag when using Nice HTML/CSS editor will cause a crash if the empty line that's supposed to have the CSS style is deleted then OK is tapped.
2. Not localized: Backup folder (hint), Default, Backup All and Restore All in Sync. Missed localization of Sort in Select Journal Id and Tag screens.

What's new in Version 15.6

1. Search improvements via new preferences:
   1. Bible: Book From changes To also. Option to not set the Book To to the same as Book From when From is changed. See the Menu then Preferences.
   2. Notes: Results sort order for non-FTS search type (see the bottom left button):
      1. By Book, chapter, verse (Default)
      2. By Date - from oldest (ascending)
      3. By Date - from newest (descending)
      4. By Title - ascending
      5. By Title - descending
2. Added new Bible view preference: Optimized indents (also available in the Preferences under Other Look and Feel, below the group related to paragraph). Previously indentations are automatically optimized for Poetry books (Psalms, Proverbs, Song of Songs, and Job 3-41 except 32) or chapters whose verses are all indented so that too much indentation on smartphones will not have wide left margin.
3. Alternate Title source (Preference) improvement: Psalms and Ecclesiastes titles are now excluded in the detection at first time load. Previously, if you start MySword on Psalms with a title like Psa 5, the Bible will be detected to have built-in titles so the alternate title source will no longer show up in other books. Starting at other books is fine though even when you go to Psalms.
4. In case settings.mybible file is corrupted (no such table: settings (code 1 SQLITE_ERROR)), there is now an option to revert file to fresh install state.

Bugs Fixed in Version 15.6

1. In paragraph mode for single verse poetry popup, optimize indents may outdent too much and cropped text if the first line is more indented than the next colon like in WEB Psa 2:7, 7:5, 17:14.
2. Dictionary lookup of Hebrew (Deluxe) may cause a crash if TBESH or other Hebrew dictionaries with no accent entry is present.

What's new in Version 15.5

1. The Editor's JavaScript library is updated from the old 2013 version to 2024. Note that Lollipop and Marshmallow's Android System WebView must be updated to at least version 60 for the editor to work.
2. New Preference (under Non-MySword modules): RTF font-size line height correction. Checked by default so Editor font-size less than 100% displays widely spaced while regular view is reduced but when unchecked both the Editor and regular view will render the line height almost similarly. When unchecked though, RTF modules with font-size may cause overlapping text like in Pilgrim's Progress from The Word.

Bugs Fixed in Version 15.5

1. Editor newly added lists (bullets or numbers), when poetry formatted verses are inserted/pasted some parts will move out of the list but Detect verses before insert will fix the problem.

What's new in Version 15.4

1. Option to Show Compare link in main search results pane of Bible search. Please see the Preferences via Menu overflow or 3 dots icon on the top right. Note that the Compare will be an icon if the Compare/Parallel link as icon is checked in the Main Preferences.

   

2. Upgraded Sync Backup's Cloud provider API to the latest for Dropbox. The old API of Dropbox used by MySword 15.3 or lower will no longer work by 2026 due to old SSL certificates.

Bugs Fixed in Version 15.4

1. Download modules error: Trust anchor for certification path not found. And Check for updates error: Not able to check for updates, even though the internet is available.

   Note: Nougat (Android 7.0) and higher is fixed and still uses https.

   Marshmallow and lower reverts to non-https. Users may opt to manually update the APK and download the modules using a browser though.

2. Sync Backup main progress bar goes beyond 100% when syncing notes.
3. Notes Add/Edit dialog that lists multiple entries: the checkbox for Enter/Edit notes details not saving and working.
4. Manual Check for updates that showed an update that's ignored 3 times will no longer cause that dialog to display on the next manual Check for updates for the same new version of MySword. This behavior should only be for the automatic one.

What's new in Version 15.3

1. Improvement in Search by using Regexp SQLite function:
   1. Option to use SQLite Regexp in Regular expression (no accents) search type instead of the slower Java. SQLite engine based regex is faster than retrieving all records and filtering on the app. The option is on the Preferences menu item of search accessible via the 3 dots icon on the top right.
   2. Option to use SQLite Regexp in Standard search type. The option is available below the Type selector.

   Note: Regexp in Regular expression (no accents) search type mimics the old behavior so spaces are considered search key separator and each search key as Regexp expression and ANDed (all expressions must be satisfied). On the other hand, in the Standard search type, the entire search text including embedded spaces is considered one Regexp expression (leading and trailing spaces are always trimmed out). See Help in the Search screen and the following about Regex expressions:

   • Complete Syntax from Android Developer
   • Quick Start Guide from Regular-Expressions.info
   • Tutorial from Chua Hock Chuan of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
2. Improved initial load time of Preferences in case there are too many books, commentaries and dictionaries by lazy loading Bible pictures, maps and things.

What's new in Version 15.2

1. New Notes Preferences:
   1. Notes icon: select from 7 SVG notes icons, Emoji, pick File, or option to enter Custom URL. You can change the emoji by selecting it first then choosing Custom icon. You can also use Custom icon to embed SVG or Base64 data.
   2. Notes icon size (default is 32px).

      

Bugs Fixed in Version 15.2

1. Bible View Preferences Reset Hidden in large buttons: multi lines are cropped.

What's new in Version 15.1

1. New Notes Preference: Title then date in selector (instead of the default date then title).
2. New Share Settings (Premium) for Bible verse range with text similar to Copy Settings:
   1. Place verse ref at the end
   2. Complete book name
   3. Verse per line
   4. No verse numbers (formerly placed at the bottom of the verse range selector)

   

3. Tag (Deluxe) Custom placement is now supported for Strong's links on text. Previously, tags were placed at the end or the default.

   Note that if a text tag has notes and it's placed between words inside a phrase in Strong's link, the box of the text will be badly formatted because of overlapping links.

Bugs Fixed in Version 15.1

1. Cannot create Exact, No accents or Prefix/Exact index (Deluxe) for Barnes.

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.

What's new in Version 14.4

1. Detect verse support for European non-English format/punctuation like Polish and French verse references.
   1. Bible references in Polish Bible footnotes using Polish/German format will now be automatically converted to links.
   2. Editor has new option in Menu for Detect verses punctuation: Standard, German/Polish (Mt 7,7-8.15.24-27), French/Portuguese (Mt 7.7-8, 15, 24-27).
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. Tap word selects verse preference doesn't work on Parallel view in Single column mode.
2. Scrolled parallel paragraph view (Premium) history navigation doesn't resize columns.

Bugs Fixed in Version 14.3.1

1. Show Highlights available in the Bible View Preferences resets upon restart.
2. Tap word selects verse preference doesn't work on Parallel view.
3. Download update doesn't work if port 4443 is blocked by ISP so default port should be used.

What's new in Version 14.3

1. Download modules option (via Menu): Use default port - don't use port 4443 as it could be blocked by device or internet provider. When checked, the download MySword update will also use the default port.
2. New Bible Search option available for Deluxe: Search range type. You can enable via Menu->Preferences. The range types are:
   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.
3. Search when Strong's links on text (Deluxe) is enabled:
   1. Strong search does not highlight words with found Strong.
   2. Red words only for the first word when preference show Highlights is not enabled.

What's new in Version 14.2

1. Option for Nice HTML/CSS for CSS Editor for Color Theme and Edit HTML/Style of Editor. Please see Menu of CSS Editor and Menu->Preferences in Editor.
2. Preview via menu for CSS Editor for Color Theme.
3. Customize the colors of the Verse Selector books. Please see Menu. Free version can only change default colors while Premium and Deluxe can be fully customized by adding book ranges as well.
4. Verse List menu action: Remove translation.
5. Animals, Plants and Objects popup picture can now be tapped to view on external app.
6. Preview and Search results split pane (Deluxe) improvement: support for tap picture to view on external app.

Bugs Fixed in Version 14.2

1. Bible Maps can't be set to None.
2. MySword starts very slow in case there are too many books and Map is previously set to None.
3. Popup merged XRefs when annotations are shown: no space between poetry lines like in Psalms and Proverbs for Bibles that supports poetry formatting.
4. Alternate Title source BSB may not show titles in some verses like in Job and Proverbs (e.g. Job 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, Pro 1:1, 2:1, 3:1).

What's new in Version 14.1

1. Compare/Parallel view improvement: option to show annotations like cross-reference, map, people, animal, plant, object links. The links are placed on top in Compare while on the verse number column in Parallel verse mode (note that commentary link will also be shown here instead of the first Bible column) or first Bible column in paragraph mode.
2. Merged Cross-references popup improvement:
   1. Option to show annotations like cross-reference, map, people, animal, plant, object links.
   2. Option to show more annotations like titles, formats, tags and notes aside from cross-reference, map, people, animal, plant, object links.

Formerly, the .bblx can be renamed to .bbl.mybible but if it contained RTF formatting then they will show up in MySword, so converting to The Word then to MySword is the only alternative. But now MySword has basic RTF interpreter. Colors are mapped to MySword standard colors.

   e-Sword, MyBible and non-Bible The Word modules are not migrated into MySword format but instead adapted by adding SQLite views or adding some fields or table.

For tablets without physical home/back buttons in Non-Compact mode, the virtual menu at the bottom right is now gone but a new one is displayed at the upper right. This is an alternate to the (Blue) Gear button at the bottom and can be hidden in Preferences->Display settings (can also be shown in phones, though it will cramp the upper buttons area).
2. New Display setting: Scroll auto select verse. Scrolling that causes the current verse to be out of view will automatically select a visible verse adding to navigation history and syncing also other views in case of split view.

6. Better support for Morphology dictionaries:
   1. It is now possible to select a different Morphology dictionary other than the default RMAC (in Preferences). For module creators, add a field to Details table named Morphology and set the value to 1.
   2. Morphology links with codes not found in the selected Morphology dictionary will be automatically looked up on other morphology dictionaries so that different formatting or codes like in BIB can use its internal dictionary instead of the RMAC.

If there is a significant change in the original content (updated module), some diff patches may not work because of missing anchor context.

10. Reading Plan Own Pace (Deluxe) improvements:
    1. Picking up created journals for a verse range read is now accurate to the verse number (before only up to the chapter number).
    2. Adding a verse reading now gives a warning when the verse from or to is invalid.

   2. Speeds greater than 1 now have proportionate faster pause between verses.
3. Popup improvements:
   1. Dictionary popups now has a heading that can be tapped to see the word in other similar dictionaries for Kitkat and higher. This is useful for example in Strong's popup and you want also to see it in AHLB without going back to the Main view. For Strong's, the equivalent Hebrew/Greek word or phrase or break down of words in the phrase are also looked up so that Hebrew/Greek dictionaries are also used.

   2. 'd-=word' will only show Strong's in case the dictionary it is used is Strong, all otherwise.
   3. 'd-=word1%09word2%09word3' will lookup the tab delimited words beginning with the leftmost and using exact or no accent (if available) match.
   4. 'd-=Strong' will lookup not only Strong but also Hebrew/Greek dictionaries. Actually all dictionaries will be looked up except those whose abbreviations are in the active settings.mybible tabletsettings table entry for strong.lookup.exclude.list (default to all English/Bible dictionaries).
   5. In case there is only one dictionary where it is found, the list will no longer show.

3. Insert book link in Editor creates an invalid link without book if the current book is different.
4. Compare link is not working in Mini Bible viewer (Premium) of the Editor.
5. Reading Plan (Deluxe) bug fixes:

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. 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.

      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.

      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)

3. Module selection in Fullscreen in Kitkat automatically closes the list.
4. Bible links nice popup sometimes jitters, shakes/scrolls down then up.

   1. Each search result item can now show different fonts for main text, Greek, Hebrew and Extended Latin.
   2. Added search type: Prefix and Exact (No accents). Using the same index used by Exact and No accents search types, it is similar to No accents search but it does not allow suffix and infix matches. For example: kill will not match skill but will match kill, kills, killed and killing.
   3. Added search type: Regular expression (No accents). 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. Added Help in the Menu or Action bar which explains the differences among the search types. Examples are given as well.

3. Improved accessibility for old people:
   1. Increased the maximum text size from 300 to 500%.

      Note that this is also useful for Hebrew text; and if you do not want the non-Hebrew to be bold, you can choose a font without bold like GentiumPlus.

4. Added Clear abbreviation cache in Preferences under Modules management section near the bottom. The module abbreviations cache makes MySword start faster. Clear the cache if you had updated an abbreviation in an SQLite editor outside MySword. When MySword restarts, the cache will be recreated.

6. New Bible Preferences (Premium): Show Cross-references, and Custom Cross-Reference.
7. Format Bible verse words with bold, italic, underlined, highlight, color and box (Deluxe version).
   

Bugs Fixed in Version 4.3

1. Multiple chapters verse range popup in ISV displays only the first verse.
2. Multiple words quoted search for Non-Standard search type does not highlight the result in case there are tags in the verse like italic. Introducing the Strong's, morphological tags and translators' notes links as popups in the search improvements of MySword 4.2 caused this issue.

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.

6. Footer navigation changes to arrow ASCII symbols if normal text will not fit.

9. Text-to-speech for commentary, dictionary, personal notes, book and journal (Deluxe version).

Bugs Fixed in Version 3.5

The following bugs were fixed:

1. Copy Verse Range list is not visible in some Gingerbread or lower devices as well as in Honeycomb and up using Default Theme for Honeycomb Theme.
2. Deluxe Split view scroll issues at start up (only but fine during normal use):
1. The leftmost split view does not scroll properly and is always at the top.
2. The other split views in types other than Bible does not scroll at the correct position in high and extra high pixel densities (Nexus 7 and 10 tablets) but is fine in medium (most tablets).
3. Text-to-speech: ndash (NET, LEB) and mdash (ASV, ISV, LEB, NHEB, WEB) are read as hyphen by SVOX.
4. Editor restarts with Failed to initialize null if Android reclaims memory when you switch to other apps.
5. Other screens restart with Failed to initialize null or crash if Android reclaims memory when you switch to other apps.

   • Long tapping the Play button will show the Settings where you can set the volume, pitch, speed, repeat mode (repeat page or continuous), and background instrumental music.
2. Button icons are optimized and made clearer/sharper for low (ldpi), medium (mdpi) and extra high (xhdpi) pixel densities. Some icons are also optimized for high (hdpi) pixel densities. The following devices will benefit most:
   1. ldpi - Galaxy Y, Pocket, LG L3 and many low-end devices
   2. mdpi - Galaxy Ace, Sony Xperia Go, Miro, Tipo, LG L5, HTC Explorer and most tablets
   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.
4. The editor bottom buttons height is adjusted to normal taller height for 4 inches or higher screens. It was originally intentionally made shorter for small screen devices like Galaxy Y.
5. Search improvements:
   1. Added Reindex menu item to be able to recreate the Exact, No accents (diacritics), Full-text search (FTS) - Standard, and FTS - Exact / No accents indexes.
   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.
   5. Search history is now saved (into the settings database) so that when you exit MySword, it is remembered the next time you search. Only the most recent 50 search keys are saved. Long tap the Search History button (down arrow) to change the limit.

10. Added Delete module button similar to Journal for Bible, Commentary and Dictionary. It is also now possible to delete read-only Journals/Books.

13. Support for Jelly Bean tablets' multi-user mode.

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.

What's new in Version 3.3

   5. The FTS boolean keywords AND and OR and proximity operator NEAR are no longer highlighted.

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.
