v1.4.0

BTT-Writer 1.4.0 Release Notes

We are delighted to announce the release of BTT-Writer 1.4.0! It contains the following changes:

• Mark all chunks as done, a new menu option that allows the user to finish all the chunks for a chapter at once. This is especially useful when doing revision work.
• Insert \p paragraph marker before first verse of each chapter when exporting to USFM. This improves compatibility when importing into other USFM-based tools.
• Customize location of index.sqlite download url in settings.
• Documentation and other updates.

Desktop only

• Localization support! The BTT-Writer buttons, labels, and other text can now be displayed in multiple languages. This initial release provides translations in English and French.
• Fixed resource loading bug that could cause a crash in rare circumstances.

Android only

• Support for new WACS Security configuration that previously required a change to settings before the app could sync projects with WACS.
• Localization for many languages have been added or updated.

v1.3.1

BTT-Writer v1.3.1 Release Notes

• Added a new update menu command "Download New index.sqlite", which will download both source texts and language definitions at the same time. This is much faster than the previous import commands, but may not have the very latest definitions and texts if they were added very recently.
• Better handling of corrupted projects, which are now zipped and placed in the backups folder if they can't be opened normally. The presence of a corrupted project no longer causes all projects to disappear.

Android Only

• Fixed a bug when loading a source text that could, in rare circumstances, cause sections of source texts to fail to load.
• Fixed a bug when rendering footnotes that could cause footnote content to be rendered interleaved with the source text.

Desktop Only

• Developers only: Fixes and improvements to the Docker build process.

v1.3.0

New Features

• Translated book names and chapter titles are now used when importing from and exporting to USFM. (PR134)
• Paragraph markers (\p) are now recognized and rendered. (PR135)
• Projects are now backed up before deletion. (PR146)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed issue where adding too many source texts could cause the UI to become unusable. The number of source texts is now limited to three. Please let us know if your project requires more than three source texts. (PR136)
• The Read Server now points to the new Live Reader URL. (PR133)
• If the user starts the app while it is already running, now the existing instance is activated instead of starting a second instance. (PR138)
• Fixed some readability and color issues with dark mode. (PR145)

Previous Updates

• (v1.2.3) The list of available languages is now pulled from WA's new public data API. The language list API URL is now configurable in settings if you'd prefer to use a different API.

v1.2.3

This release uses a new endpoint for language information, found at:

https://langnames.bibleineverylanguage.org/langnames.json

The new language workflow from the language selection screen is now disabled. If your language is not on the list, please email sam_todd@wycliffeassociates.org to begin the process of adding it.

v1.2.2

This bugfix release corrects a problem encountered when trying to create or upload a repo on MacOS. It explicitly sets the name of the primary branch rather than use the default (which can vary from client to client).
