Project rename

Posted by Manfred Bergmann in News on February 21, 2011

“MacSword” has been renamed to “Eloquent”.
A new version will be released soon.

Updating from MacSword to Eloquent through the integrated updater will not work.
You need to download Eloquent manually once, after that the updater mechanism will work again.

You can take over all your data.
Just rename the preference file org.crosswire.MacSword.plist to org.crosswire.Eloquent.plist.
Also rename the “MacSword” part of the folder /Users//Application Support/MacSword before you start Eloquent for the first time.
If you already started Eloquent and the folder “Eloquent” already exists, just copy all data into this folder.

    MacSword 2.1

    Posted by Manfred Bergmann in News on January 8, 2010

    Version 2.1 has been released with the following new features:

  • Notes system. Left sidebar has a new category “Notes”. Notes basically are RTF text files manageable in MacSword. They can be created, moved and deleted from MacSword and are integrated into MacSword as tabs or windows. Bible references can be added to note’s text which will show the reference target as tooltip or in the preview window. This should give a bit of word processing capability without the need of another software like TextEdit.
  • A different font can be chosen for every module.
  • Left sidebar is more iTunes like with new drawer icons.
  • Headings (pre-verse and book/chapter introductions) are now displayed when enabled.
  • The latest version of the SWORD engine including developer utilities.
  • Two main menu items have been added that create/remove symlinks to the SWORD module utilities in /usr/local/bin folder.
  • Fixed problems with right sidebar width settings.
  • Finally we have support for morphology modules.
  • Many of code cleanups, refactorings and general fixes.

    • Get it now from the download page.
