• Copy to clipboard by choosing the beginning and ending reference.
• A search filter was added in the "Install Works" page of the Bookshelf Manager.

• The first time the Bookshelf Manager is used in a session, the remote libraries are updated.

• Place not being saved in Daily Devotional.

Snap details:

• Filename: bibletime-3.0.0_beta1-amd64.snap
• The snap allows installing on any linux system that supports snap. A snap contains all necessary libraries so it is independent of your installed libraries.
• It can co-exist with a BibleTime installed using your normal install procedures.
• It is also large.
• It will install core18 which contains additional libraries.
• Snaps use different file space than normal apps. It has a different $HOME path so it will not share BibleTime settings or sword modules
• Install like this:
  sudo snap install --dangerous bibletime_3.0.0-beta1_amd64.snap
• The run path varies on different operating systems. On ubuntu use: /snap/bin/bibletime
• After an installation it will behave funny the first time it is ran. It may be very slow to start. It may also not be able to download modules. I recommend you start and immediately quit after an installation.

Flatpak details:

Flatpak allows installing on any linux system that supports flatpaks. The required libraries will also be installed so it will be independent of your installed libraries.

• flatpaks use different file space than normal apps. It has a different $HOME path so it will not share BibleTime settings or sword modules
