With OpenLP version 2.0 development heading fast to another alpha
|
||
release, the popularity of OpenLP seems to also be rising. Granted,
|
||
using Facebook as a popularity meter may not be the best way to tell,
|
||
but seems pretty good to us. One of the most notable changes that has
|
||
happened recently has been major changes to the output display. With the
|
||
next release you should see working text over video, text enhancements
|
||
(bold text, text colors, etc) and spell checking. I really look forward
|
||
to the spell checking because there is something pretty embarrassing
|
||
about looking up from the stage on Sunday morning realizing that you
|
||
misspelled something.
|
||
|
||
The songs plug in has also seen some improvements. Alternate song titles
|
||
are now working and also the ability to link media files to songs.
|
||
Personally I have also been playing around with the remote plug in. It
|
||
has a lot of uses but one that I have seen is using it for nursery
|
||
workers to flash something on screen when they may need a little
|
||
parental help.
|
||
|
||
OpenLP from a user's standpoint has really come a long way in the last
|
||
few months. I came to OpenLP from using a rather expensive “boxed”
|
||
software solution and OpenLP is set to absolutely blow it out of the
|
||
water for features and not to mention price. Then combine that with the
|
||
relatively low system requirements versus the others, and its simply
|
||
amazing what OpenLP is set to accomplish.
|
||
|
||
We can always use testers, especially as OpenLP nears completion. Please
|
||
check out the download section of the site to download the latest alpha
|
||
release. For more information on 2.0 check out the OpenLP 2.0 specific
|
||
section of the forum and always feel free to hangout with many
|
||
developers and users in chat on #openlp.org on freenode or check out the
|
||
webchat option.
