XIPHOS RELEASE NOTES

Release 3.1.5
19 Feb 2012

This is primarily a toolkit compatibility release, providing 2 features,
plus numerous ongoing routine bug fixes and enhancements.

- The WebKit display driver, which finally brings display feature parity
  to Windows with what has been available on other platforms for some time.
  WebKit is now our normal display driver for all platforms.  Windows users
  should see §3.9 of the manual for differences from the older gtkhtml3
  driver.  Mozembed (xulrunner) is no longer in use, replaced by WebKit.

  Note that certain problems were encountered regarding RtoL languages,
  especially Arabic and Hebrew (Farsi seems fine) very late in the effort to
  finalize Win32 WebKit support.  Farsi both fully translates and provides
  RtoL-inverted display; Hebrew translates fully (modulo missing strings)
  but does not RtoL-invert; most perversely, Arabic translates half
  strings and does not RtoL-invert.  We do not yet understand these
  flaws but will continue to try to resolve them, perhaps in a 3.1.6 for
  Windows only, as these problems do not haunt non-Windows builds at all.

- GTK3 compatibility, for the sake of newly-updated environments such as
  Fedora 15/16 and Ubuntu 11.10.

Other incidental improvements:

- Module-internal footnote & xref numbering/lettering is respected.

- Display of headings, footnotes, xrefs, and red words all default On.

- Image content is resized in parallel windows and the previewer.

- Module lists include modules' 1-line descriptions as well as short names.

- Verse numbers will no longer be "widowed" (left alone at the end of a
  line) by being forced to combine against the first word of their verse.

- Verse number display is configurable: bold, brackets, superscripts.

- RtoL consistency improvements.

- Studypad save respects its default directory specification.

- Base font is respected in all parallel views.

- Font selection order has been fixed: Any user specification (per module
  or per language) supercedes module configuration file specification.

- In export, avoid more than one dialog, ever, about checking a module's
  license, and change copy/export defaults to plaintext and 1 verse.

- Ctrl-0 (zero) forces base font size to 0.

- Ctrl-[1-9] selects the Nth tab.

- Countless internal module, cache, font, and display fixes.
