Like many other open source projects, OpenLP uses even version numbers to denote a stable release, and odd version
|
||
numbers to denote an unstable (or development) release.
|
||
|
||
Currently we're in the process of working on OpenLP 2.5 which will become OpenLP 2.6 when we release it. We’re still
|
||
not in a position to make this release, but I thought I'd write this blog post to assure you that lots of work is being
|
||
done behind the scenes.
|
||
|
||
So what have we been working on?
|
||
|
||
New features:
|
||
|
||
- Support for chords in songs
|
||
- Supporting more projectors by upgrading to PJLink 2
|
||
- Support for bibles from the SWORD Project
|
||
- Support for ProPresenter 5 song import
|
||
- Video backgrounds to songs (depending on your platform)
|
||
- Video timing display so you can see the time left for a media item
|
||
- The splitting of the Web Inferface from the core code allowing faster updates and user defined variations
|
||
|
||
Behind the scenes:
|
||
|
||
- A new renderer and display based on Reveal.js, which should allow us and you to do a lot more in the long term
|
||
- A new RESTful API for better remote control and potential integration from other apps
|
||
- The migration to a new web interface framework allowing easier integration for new funtions
|
||
- The change to save themes in JSON instead of XML
|
||
- Change to the way file paths are represented internally in OpenLP to make interoperability between different operating
|
||
systems better. This will help with things like transferring service files between different computers.
|
||
- A whole lot of bugs fixed
|
||
|
||
So while we might seem to be quiet, the real reason is because we're trying to get everything ready for another
|
||
feature-packed release.
