Looking back over the past year, OpenLP has had quite an eventful year.
|
|||
|
|
In 2011 we had the last two releases of openlp.org 1.2.x, had five
|
|||
|
|
releases of OpenLP 2.0 (1.9.x), we moved from alpha releases to beta
|
|||
|
|
releases, and we end-of-life'd openlp.org 1.x. Not only that, OpenLP
|
|||
|
|
even has an Android app!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Both as an application, and as a project, OpenLP has gone from strength
|
|||
|
|
to strength during 2011. Since the first beta release (version 1.9.5) we
|
|||
|
|
have had over 80,000 downloads, and the new manual has seen steady
|
|||
|
|
improvement since it was first put together. There have been a number of
|
|||
|
|
favourable reviews of OpenLP, and we've seen people talking about OpenLP
|
|||
|
|
more on the Internet this year. The OpenLP site has also seen almost
|
|||
|
|
150,000 visitors this year.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This coming year promises to be even bigger and better. While we don't
|
|||
|
|
have a fixed release date for OpenLP 2.0, the general feeling is that it
|
|||
|
|
will likely be toward the end of 2012. This means that lots of bug
|
|||
|
|
fixing lies ahead of us, we'd like to get things like translations and
|
|||
|
|
the manual complete, and look at revamping the web site for the final
|
|||
|
|
release too.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Often we make New Years resolutions but in 2 Corinthians 13:5, Paul
|
|||
|
|
tells us:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test
|
|||
|
|
yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus
|
|||
|
|
Christ is in you? - unless indeed you fail to meet the test!"
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
2 Corinthians 13:5, ESV
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A careful self-evaluation is often insightful and motivating, especially
|
|||
|
|
for Christians working on their New Year’s resolutions. As we kick off
|
|||
|
|
the new year, take time to examine you faith and confirm your commitment
|
|||
|
|
to Christ, reflecting on what He has done for you this past year, and
|
|||
|
|
thinking of what you can do in the coming year to strengthen your faith
|
|||
|
|
and deepen your relationship with Him.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In short, the OpenLP team wishes you a blessed and fruitful new year.
|
|||
|

PS: Don't forget to upgrade OpenLP to version 1.9.8.
