Version 2.6.0 Released

This is a major release with several key features being enabled for the first time...

Annotations BETA Release:
I am making available an early prototype of Annotations support for underlining and highlighting (no notes yet). Annotations only work for the Library Publications (excluding the Daily Text) and your Briefcase articles. See the screenshot below for an example of what this looks like.

NOTE: You will need to enable Annotations support by turning it on in Admin and agreeing to the terms of the Beta release.

NWT Cross-References:
All languages that have the Rbi8 Bible on WOL now have access to the full NWT Cross-References! Simply click on a "+" and all have all references extracted and shown in a popup window (see screenshot below). If you want to zoom in on a specific scripture just click it to have it open in Equipd.

NWT Footnotes (English Only):
The English NWT Bible now contains the Footnotes! Simply click on a Footnote to have it appear in a popup window, fully formatted, with clickable scripture references. Other languages will be added over time.

Study Questions:
Content from WOL is now automatically reformatted to show the study questions before the paragraphs, and styled similar to the EPUB format. This works for all languages.

Publication Footnotes:
Publication Footnotes for all languages can now be viewed in a popup window, minimising the need to scroll. Languages that support scripture lookups will find the Scripture references are still clickable inside the footnote for automatic lookup.

Scriptures in Popup Window:
When you click on a scripture reference in the Library or Briefcase Equipd can now extract and show the scripture in a popup window, so you don't even need to switch to the Bible tab to read the scripture. You can still click on the scripture to open it in the Bible tab for full context, or for side-by-side comparison across languages or translations. You can also optionally disable these Popup windows in Admin > Bible.

Images in the Briefcase:
You can now optionally have the images loaded from WOL and displayed in your Briefcase articles. These images are not pre-cached (yet), and they will only load if your device has an active Internet Connection. If there is no Internet Connection then the images will not be displayed. You can turn this feature off in Admin > Briefcase if you want to avoid mobile data charges.

Jump to Sub-Headings:
By clicking on the Title in the top black bar you can now jump directly to Sub-Headings in the article, or to the top of the page. See the screenshot below for an example of this. Not all cached content contains subheadings.

Faster Pre-caching:
Speed improvements to the Pre-cache process - multithreading now gives 3-4 times faster pre-caching

Pre-cache in the Background:
I have added the ability to close the Pre-cache windows so you can carry on using Equipd while the pre-caching continues in the background. Still not a perfect experience, but ... better.

Scroll Locations Remembered:
The Library and Briefcase now remembers the scroll location as part of the History. So for example if you are half-way through a Chapter 2 of the Bible Teach book, and then leave the page and go somewhere else, and come back - it will return to the same location half-way through the chapter.

Other Enhancements:

  • 11 New Languages - Icelandic, Totonac, Tzotzil, Umbundu, Hiligaynon, Kikuyu, Mazatec(Huautla), Ossetian, Nahuatl (Northern Puebla), Papiamento (CuraƧao), Tatar.
  • Added the remaining books on WOL that were not yet in Equipd - so now all of them are! Isaiah 1 & 2, YPA 1 & 2, Worship God, Bible Stories.
  • Added the 2013 Yearbook
  • New Dutch publications - Bearing Witness Brochure, Draw Close Book, Come Be My Follower Book, Great Teacher Book
  • New Indonesian publications - Bearing Witness Brochure, Bibles Message Brochure, Draw Close Book, Come Be My Follower Book, Great Teacher Book, Was Life Created Brochure, Listen and Live Brochure
  • Fixed an issue where deleting the Daily Text EPUB file may block you from reinstalling it
  • You can now swipe to delete articles in the Briefcase 
  • The Briefcase article search now includes the reference - so you can now search for all "w13" for example
  • Larger Bible Chapter window (used in multi-language mode)
  • Added initial support for scripture lookups in Afrikaans, Dutch, Danish, German, Portuguese and Italian. This means you can now click on a scripture in these languages and Equipd will attempt to auto-detect and lookup the scripture. You can also change the setting in Admin > Bible > Clipboard Lookup so that you can lookup scriptures from your clipboard in one of these languages.
