 XIPHOS RELEASE NOTES
 ____________________
 
+Release 3.2.2
+06 Jun 2014
+
+This is a cosmetic/clean-up release.  No new capability is present.
+
+- Building against GTK3 (i.e. waf configure --gtk=3) should once again
+  be reasonable.  Generally, GTK3 will require --enable-webkit-editor,
+  because the older editor seems not fully de-lintable for GTK3.
+
+- Internal use of generic warnings has been updated to re-introduce
+  "modal" warnings, i.e. user acknowledgement before Xiphos proceeds.
+  This is necessary for e.g. startup catastrophes, where the warning
+  dialog must appear and remain for user ACK before the program exits.
+
+- Added statusbar acknowledgement of alt-[SRM] display modifiers, as well
+  as BibleSync keyboard navigation.
+
+- The Preferences page for BibleSync has been de-cluttered somewhat.
+
+- The unnecessary doubling of win32 login name is gone in BibleSync.
+
+- A build complaint from very new compilers has been fixed.
+________________________________________________________________
+
+Release 3.2.1
+06 Jun 2014
+
+This release has drastic forward movement in BibleSync plus a number of
+bug fixes.
+
+- BibleSync is no longer integral to Xiphos alone; it has been separated
+  into its own library, to make it available for other Bible programs.
+  There is some activity toward integrating it into others already.
+
+- BibleSync has gained a number of features, both in the library itself
+  and in how Xiphos uses it.  It now uses its own Preferences page, due to
+  additional features and complexity.  Notably, BibleSync operates using
+  speaker beacons, limiting the trouble that can be caused by either
+  inadvertent or malicious navigation by others.
+
+- BibleSync in Xiphos 3.2.1 will not interoperate with 3.2.0.  The
+  addition of speaker beacons means that 3.2.0 will not recognize or
+  generate them, and 3.2.1 will not recognize a speaker without them.
+  (As applied to BibleSync 1.0.0 -vs- 1.0.1 differences.)
+
+- Fixed a very old error regarding inconsistent internal use of the
+  scripture cross-reference option.
+
+- Consequent to that xref bug fix, exported content correctly no longer
+  contains either footnotes or xrefs.
+
+- Persistent difficulties with module archive have been resolved.
+
+- Generic warning dialogs, used all over the place, have been replaced
+  with a non-modal method that is not troublesome in the face of timing
+  constraints.
+
+- Compatibility issues with Solaris and BSD are resolved.
+
+- Added populating the verse list directly from a dialog (context menu).

+
+Release 3.2.0
+05 May 2014
+
+This release is to accommodate one late-arriving Sword engine change and
+to support generalized companion modules.  It also provides the first
+implementation of BibleSync, a shared navigation protocol specification
+for Bible programs, details of which we are sharing with other programs'
+authors and hope to see being made available soon.  GTK2 is still the
+display toolkit we expect to be used.  Also, several urgent bugfixes have
+been made.
+
+- New BibleSync subsystem: Multicast group navigation with glue on
+  navigation reception and transmission when navigating locally.
+
+- Preferences added to support BibleSync options: mode enable, navigation
+  style choice, and activity tracing and privacy toggle options.
+
+- Updated companion modules (conf directive Companion=Abc,Def,Xyz) for
+  Bibles and commentaries so as to allow arbitrary sets where the 1st
+  opens in the main window and the rest open in detached windows.  This is
+  important for organizations such as Wycliffe who produce grouped
+  modules, useful in such a manner.
+
+- Added kbd toggles alt-S (Strong's), alt-M (morphology), alt-R (red words).
+
+- Heading generation changed in line with Sword 1.7.3's new internals.
+
+- Fixed crash on unparseable xref module content.
+
+- Fixed crash on copy/export.
+
+- Fixed crash on bogus middle-click on multi-ref bookmark.
+
+- Fixed crash on handling xref within heading
+
+- Fixed win32 pango module filesystem placement.
+
+- Fixed module manager column width setting.
+
+- Fixed module manager archive function.
+
+- Fixed NASB-specific lexica references for forthcoming NASB release.
+
+- Removed gconf query.

+
+Release 3.1.6
+12 Jan 2014
+
+This release is for compatibility with the recent Sword release, a number
+of small features, and many bug fixes.
+
+This release was very delayed both due to our need for the long-awaited
+Sword 1.7 release, upon which any release of Xiphos has been dependent for
+more than a year, and because of time demands on Xiphos developers.
+
+Due to many problems with GTK3 support, 3.1.6 is being released with the
+expectation of being built against GTK2.  The GTK3 problems will be
+resolved for a future release and we will move Xiphos forward for that then.
+
+Incidental improvements and bug fixes:
+
+- The existence and placement of Preferences, Module Manager, and Advanced
+  Search windows is saved.
+
+- Major compatibility changes for the underlying Sword interface,
+  especially renderText() and its minions.
+
+- Live chat nick selection identifies user's platform and Xiphos version.
+
+- Manual updates to reflect recent additions (eg. Alt-A [annotate]).
+
+- Journals can be opened in regular display detached window (not editor).
+
+- "Friendly" (abbreviation) month names for devotional use in the
+  dictionary pane.
+
+- Export off-by-one error when crossing chapter boundary is fixed.  Export
+  also made somewhat more general and featureful.  3.1.5's missing export
+  submenu is back.
+
+- Addition of repository support for HTTP, HTTPS, and SFTP.
+
+- Version differences in dbus IPC (xiphos-nav) have been homogenized.
+
+- Build inconsistencies across Linux distributions are fixed.
+
+- Removed last vestiges of unneeded, defunct KJV pilcrow (¶) handling.
+
+- A number of updates to native language support for module tree lists.
+
+- Sword's OSISVariants now works (had never been added since Sword's OSIS
+  support came into existence).
+
+- Xiphos internals have moved forward to Sword's XHTML interface, leaving
+  behind the old HTMLHREF interface.  Many consequent internal changes.
+
+- Unicode punctuation is no longer mis-spoken in ReadAloud.
+
+- The last of the historic gtkhtml3 support has been removed, other than
+  the editor component in GTK2: Xiphos depends exclusively on webkit.  This
+  is Xiphos' 5th display engine.  We do not intend to change it ever again.
