  • Make handling of verse, chorus, bridge, .. names more tolerant for case changes to prevent verse image backgrounds from not showing (Vwout)
  • Fix for cosmetic bug that causes the input field to be hidden in the inputbox. This prevents creating a new song (bug #416) (Vwout)

New in OpenSong 2.1.0 (Feb 3, 2014)

  • Fix for selecting (movie) files on MacOS for use with Videolan (bug #362) (Vwout)
  • When sharing the sets between Windows and Linux, using Microsoft fonts, it is recommended to install the package ttf-mscorefonts-installer.
  • Added a Readme with basic information and instructions how to build OpenSong
  • Change in WebSocket implementation, POST authentication is removed from handshake (Vwout)
  • The websocket initialisation now uses a GET request to upgrade the HTTP connection in accordance with the RFC6455.
  • As the websocket connection is now not authenticated, actions that modify the state of OpenSong are no longer allowed. This means that the websocket allows all GET actions, plus the ws resource actions.
  • Allow mouse click over slide preview on PresentHelperWindow to move forward and backward one slide. (Feature request #347) (swampcat)
  • Cosmetic fix in song editor (inconsistent behavior of 'keep aspect ratio' checkbox) (bug #406) (Vwout)
  • Added explanatory labels to spacing-editboxes in the print settings dialog (feature request #99) (Vwout)
  • Fixed incorrect button state when no verse is selected for setting verse specific backgrounds (bug #399) (Vwout)
  • Cosmetic fixes when switching languages (bug #402) (Vwout). The list of themes is reloaded, a restart of the program or a reload of the song is no longer needed. The themes list has a wider listbox.
  • Fixed folders selection in Song Mode (bug #394) (Vwout). When the songs folder is 'All', the behavior is back what is was before: the song is loaded and the folder selection does not change. A new feature is added, a double click on a song when the selected folder is 'All' will show the song, and change the selected folder to the folder that the song is in. The song list will be updated to the contents of the folder.
  • Fixed highlighting of the current song in the Songs list (bug #397) (Vwout)

  • Fixed issue with Windows installer not loading default Bible (le717)
  • Update Windows Inno Setup added in 2.1 RC1 to newest version (le717)

  • Minor change to make OpenSong run using Xojo 2013 (Vwout)
  • Fix for REST implementation regarding the presentation action that did not work (Vwout):
  • all /presentation/section actions
  • all slide actions that modify the presentation state (/presentation/slide/previous, next, ...)
  • /presentation/screen/freeze action
  • Improvements for Linux (Vwout):
  • Fix in rendering; the font size interpretation is now equal as on Windows and Mac

Although Window(0) should be the top window for the app, for some reason on OS X 10.5 (Leopard) this will return a handle to a window that is not visible.

New in OpenSong 1.3b2 (Feb 11, 2008)

  • Fix Bible citations so a single verse shows up as "Genesis 1:1" and an entire chapter is "Genesis 1".
  • Add the Bible name to the slide group's name tag so the Set routines will treat two adjacent passages of the same range but different Bibles as two distinct entities instead of combining them.
  • Fix some filename comparison issues in StringUtils.CompareHymnBookOrder and in MainWindow.lst_songs_songs.CompareRows. This will hopefully clear up some of the issues seen with items sorting the wrong way. Definitely fixes an issue with "2008-02-09" being evaluated as less than "2008-02-08 Alternate".
  • Fix song preview in SongPickerWindow to avoid NOE if the file isn't valid XML.
  • PlistDict would silently fail to store an integer as a real (and vice-versa) even though get getter and setter for both convert to double.
  • Fix debugger not re-enabling or storing new value if previously disabled.
  • Fixed bug where Bible.genindex would attempt to close the splash window even if it didn't exist. Fixed bug in exception handler that caused the resulting NOE to cause a complete program crash.
  • Added Classes/GUI/StringSplitter and Classes/GUI/CanvasSmartSplitterDebugger to project. Added credit for the source to the English translation ("StringSplitter by Harrie Hooie (http://www.harryhooie.com/source/)")
  • Modified SongPickerWindow to use a splitter between the song list and the preview to give the user more control over the display.
  • Added StringUtils.Chop to delete a specific string from the end of another. This is part of a later version of StringUtils than the one currently in the project. (TODO: Reorganize and strip code added for OpenSong from StringUtils to allow us to update StringUtils when new versions are available.)
  • Fixed SongPicker so that the backspace key will work if focus is on the song list and a search is in progress.
  • Added second column to SongPicker listbox to show the folder if more than one folder's songs are being displayed. Adds song_lookup/songs to language file.
