Hello folks,
|
||
|
||
We are happy to announce the release of our **first beta** aka *Maverick
|
||
Micah*. We have put a lot of effort into this release, squashing bugs,
|
||
adding new features, and enhancing existing features, to make this the
|
||
best release yet.
|
||
|
||
We're really excited about this release, because it marks the changeover
|
||
from version 1.2 to version 2.0. You see, from now on, we will only
|
||
really be supporting version 2. It is much less work to support version
|
||
2.0, and we feel that version 2.0 is at a point now where it can go into
|
||
mainstream use. We will still support version 1.2, but there won't be
|
||
any more bug fixing or releases of that version.
|
||
|
||
If you have not used OpenLP before, we recommend you use this new beta
|
||
release, rather than version 1.2.
|
||
|
||
A number of people have already been using the alpha versions in their
|
||
church services, and have been extremely happy with the stability of
|
||
those releases. While we can't guarantee 100% stability, we feel that
|
||
OpenLP 2.0 is stable enough to be used in your church services.
|
||
|
||
Some of the new features and improvements:
|
||
|
||
- A *First Time Wizard* which will help you to do the basic
|
||
configuration and allows you to import sample songs, Bibles and
|
||
themes.
|
||
- Additional song imports: EasiSlides, Folipresenter, SongShow Plus
|
||
- In addition we added OpenLyrics import and export support, which
|
||
allows you to easily transfer songs between different OpenLP
|
||
installations. OpenLyrics is an independent standard, built to
|
||
facilitate interoperability between various presentation
|
||
applications.
|
||
- The ability to print *Service Order Sheets* (File → Print Service
|
||
Order)
|
||
- Define your own *Display Tags* to format slides individually
|
||
- Better media support
|
||
- A reference manual (very much a work in progress though!)
|
||
|
||
Other improvements and bug fixes:
|
||
|
||
- An improved song search
|
||
- General usability improvements
|
||
- New search box for Bibles (just like the new search box for songs in
|
||
the previous release)
|
||
- A revamped web interface
|
||
- Many bugfixes
|
||
|
||
Important note: Service files created in a previous release of OpenLP
|
||
are not compatible with OpenLP 1.9.5
|
||
|
||

**If you have any problems setting up or using OpenLP, please read the
|
||
new manual as well as the Frequently Asked Questions.**
|
||
|
||
1"Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in
|
||
me. 2In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I
|
||
have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and
|
||
prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to
|
||
myself, that where I am you may be also. 4And you know the way to
|
||
where I am going." 5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where
|
||
you are going. How can we know the way?" 6Jesus said to him, "I am
|
||
the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father
|
||
except through me. 7If you had known me, you would have known my
|
||
Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him."
|
||
|
||
8Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for
|
||
us." 9Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you
|
||
still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the
|
||
Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Do you not believe
|
||
that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I
|
||
say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who
|
||
dwells in me does his works. 11Believe me that I am in the Father
|
||
and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works
|
||
themselves.
|
||
|
||
12"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do
|
||
the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do,
|
||
because I am going to the Father. 13Whatever you ask in my name,
|
||
this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If
|
||
you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
|
||
|
||
15"If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16And I will ask
|
||
the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you
|
||
forever, 17even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
|
||
because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he
|
||
dwells with you and will be in you.
|
||
|
||
18"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19Yet a
|
||
little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me.
|
||
Because I live, you also will live. 20In that day you will know that
|
||
I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21Whoever has my
|
||
commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves
|
||
me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest
|
||
myself to him." 22Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it
|
||
that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?"
|
||
23Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and
|
||
my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home
|
||
with him. 24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the
|
||
word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.
|
||
|
||
25"These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
|
||
26But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my
|
||
name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all
|
||
that I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give
|
||
to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts
|
||
be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you,
|
||
'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you
|
||
would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the
|
||
Father is greater than I. 29And now I have told you before it takes
|
||
place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30I will no
|
||
longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He
|
||
has no claim on me, 31but I do as the Father has commanded me, so
|
||
that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from
|
||
here.
|
||
