Over the weekend, a bug was discovered in the processing of USFM files that use the glossary word tag pair \w_...\w*. The bug caused the actual glossary word to be deleted from the verse text.This bug has been fixed and tested. The updated source code for Go Bible Creator has been checked in to the SVN repository.Packaged binaries for Go Bible Creator 2.4.2 will be uploaded presently.

We recently encountered a very old bug in Go Bible Creator, or rather in Sun Java (now Oracle).The internal manifest has a line break inserted at column 72 for long Info: lines.Amazingly, the original method counted bytes rather than Unicode characters. This meant that long lines that contained multibyte characters could end up with the codepoint being split at the line breaks, thus rendering

Symmetric Scrolling (Symscroll) Branch If you look at the SVN repository, the symmetric scrolling (symscroll) branch is where all the new check-ins have been taking place. The features available on this branch include: Symmetric scrolling. Pressing 'up' goes up by one screen, and pressing 'down' goes down by one screen. This should be much more intuitive than the previous method*. Touchscreen

What you are looking at may seem insignificant. It is the Khmer Bible on a $90 cell phone. This phone can be purchased locally and other phone models as cheaply as $50 which can run the Bible as well. Currently, nearly every church leader, adult and many young people (even in Cambodia) have access to cell phones. The phone you hold in our hand has more power than computers were 15 years ago

A ten-minute guide to setting up a WAP siteThis article describes, very briefly, the steps involved in providing WML pages to mobile devices, in particular WAP-enabled mobile phones. It assumes that reader is already familiar with HTTP, HTML, and Web server operation, but knows nothing about WML or WAP protocols. The article does not attempt to describe WML, but does provide a simple example.

There are a total of 4.3 billion cell phones in general use, 3.5 billion of which are GSM phones. 80 percent of cellular traffic is over GSM.cf. Total world population (2010) is estimated to be 6.797 billion.Does anyone doubt the importance of getting the Bible on to GSM cellphones in as many languages as possible?

Yesterday I discovered that it is possible to convert any Java ME application to an Android package file APK, using a free online converter called GetAPK.One of my colleagues has tested this for a few Go Bible applications in a number of different languages, with a considerable degree of success. He wrote, It's not perfect, it sometimes hangs if you run multiple copies of the program at once, the

Producing GoBibles as such is not the total focus for me, but producing material for Iranian churches is. And GoBible fits perfectly.Thanks to David for bringing me into the fold.Thanks to Magdi for his successful work on the Arabic Bible which kept me going when I did not get the Farsi version right.

Go Bible was launched four and half years ago by Jolon Faichney in Queensland, Australia. He began programming version 1.0 in August 2003. Since then it has progressed in leaps and bounds. The current version 2.2.6 is now available from the main Go Bible website.I first came across Go Bible just over a year ago, in March 2007, shortly after being given a Sony Ericsson K750i mobile phone as a
