MySword for Android version 3.0 is now ready for download. Please go to the Download MySword page.

The noteworthy new features are:

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.
• Split screen where each view can have its own module type (Bible, Commentary, Dictionary, Journal/Book, Notes) which can be in sync or unsync. This is Tablet Deluxe version.
3. Search screen improvements:
• Added Go to selected and Scroll Page up/down buttons at the bottom.
• Split screen with search details and item results on the left pane (MySword 2.0 or lower) and preview of whole Bible chapter and contents for other types on the right. This is Tablet Deluxe version.
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.

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.
8. Added two CSS Color Themes: Dark Olive Green preset and Light Golden Rod preset (Premium version only).
9. Changed the fresh install initial Bible from KJV to whatever can be found first in this list: ISV, NET, NHEB, WEB, BBE, KJVLite, KJV.

The following bugs were fixed:

1. Adding/Removing Bible Bookmarks but not selecting a new bookmark will not update the four top bookmark buttons.
2. Search initial message of Maximum results of 100 is in black color so in dark background it is not readable.
3. The Previous/Next buttons in Arrange Dictionary, Commentary and Journal buttons have wrong description (the description is Bible's and is about verse/chapter). Also Select Journal/Book module and Select Topic of the Arrange Journal buttons have wrong sample text in the buttons.
4. If the default Strong's Dictionary or whatever is previously selected in the Preference is deleted or Strong's dictionary (Strong or Strong-lite) is not downloaded, if the Hebrew or Greek Strong's Dictionary is tapped in the Preference it will cause a force close.
5. Fresh install initial Bible translation shortcuts are always the first Bible followed by 5 Compares even though there are more than one Bibles downloaded.
6. The Editor's Mini Bible Viewer's copy all text, copy current verse and add current verse to clipboard does not work for Compare and Parallel if the Main window's current Bible is not Compare or Parallel.
7. Creating a Journal entry but canceling the editor will make a blank entry that is treated as there are no entries by the viewer.
8. Deleting all text in a journal entry and saving shows a warning message but the %s is not displaying the title. After the save/delete the viewer now shows there are no entries because the old entry is no longer available.
9. The search crashes when Parallel is selected (Parallel should not really be there).
10. Copy Dictionary, Journal, Commentary and Notes included the navigation links at the bottom, some other tags at the beginning and some HTML tags (in ISV there are some empty sup tags).
11. Using the %cssclassname text% wiki command in the editor inside a list makes the list non-terminating and the succeeding heading (h1. to h6.) not be parsed properly when the content is reloaded to the editor.
12. Select highlight dialog shows black background for the highlight items in Sony devices.
13. Formatting fixes to support special tags in Open English Bible.
