MySword for Android version 3.1 RC 9 is now ready for download. Please go to the Download MySword page.

A Release Candidate of MySword 3.1 is released for testing the Localization feature. You can download User Interface (UI) Languages via the Download Modules screen by tapping Language. You can also see the list of currently available languages from the new Download Languages page. Only the major parts of the UI (the commonly used) are localized. The final version will be released soon to Google Play Store.

The noteworthy new features are:

1. New Preference: Single tap in Full screen - enable/disable the single tap in full screen to temporarily show the buttons.
2. Support for Language specific Book names in Bible modules displayed in the Bible view as well as Verse Select screen.
3. UI localization support using downloadable language module. Currently, the following languages are available for download: Hungarian, Italian, Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian), Tagalog.
4. Improved book identification in verse link that can be used in manually typed verse link in [[]] or Enter verse dialog (long tap of Verse Selector). Common shortcuts like Lv for Leviticus, Mt for Matthew and so on are added. Also, verse link that is solely book name with space is now properly linked like 2 Kings.
5. Links with comma are now properly linked like [[Mat 4:5,6]] which goes to Mat 4:5 instead of Mat 4:1.
6. Simple external file link support using http:// and file:// in the editor (links that starts with www. or / are converted into http://www. and file:///, respectively). For file://, Android native file extensions currently supported are: png, gif, jpg and jpeg for image; mp3, ogg and mid for audio; mp4, mpeg and 3gp for video; and others are treated as text/html MIME type. Appropriate applications must be available in the Android device.
7. Added smcaps CSS style for small caps that can be used in the Editor as well as other modules.
8. New Bible view button: Bible view preferences - short cut for paragraph mode, words of Jesus in red, show Strong's tags, Morph tags, translators' notes, title and with verse line spacing (Premium version only).
9. Reference/Translators' notes popup text now follows the zoom level higher than 125% (Normal). It is scrollable for long text.
10. Insert date, date/time, symbol/special character (Premium feature). Premium shows the symbols in popup up dialog while the Deluxe in split view over the Module preview on the right.
11. Support for Bible tag <FU><Fu> for underlined (used in Wilbur Pickering New Testament WPNT) and <FO><Fo> for OT quotation (currently only used by KJV and the new KJVLite and must be manually formatted for CSS using style name .ot; you can enter: .ot{font-weight:bold} ).

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.

We are making MySword better. Thank you for your feedback.
