Release 4.2.1
07 May 2020

After a long dry spell, Xiphos is back with a new release. This is a release of many bug fixes and much re-structuring, especially for how the build system operates, an important factor for those in development. The older waf build system is gone, having been re-engineered from the ground up with cmake.

User-visible changes regard crash-avoidance bugfixes and cosmetic matters: Corrected use of visuals in parallel window, corrected verse displays, status bar repair, corrected alternating fg/bg in parallel, improved/corrected spacing of Strong's and morphology with respect to mainline text, additions to the languages recognized in module displays, increased limits on book name length for exotic UTF-8 languages (encodings too long), and some new and updated interface translations.

Ubuntu users, surf https://launchpad.net/~pkgcrosswire/+archive/ubuntu/ppa because Ubuntu no longer supports a certain library package required by Xiphos for editor support. Other mainstream distributions have latest Xiphos in their distribution pipes.
