Hello folks,
|
||
|
||
We are pleased to announce OpenLP 1.9.6 "Enflaming Elijah", also known
|
||
as 2.0 beta 2. Download it, it is AWESOME!
|
||
|
||
Since the release of beta 1, we have encouraged users to download and
|
||
use OpenLP 2.0 instead of openlp.org 1.2. This means that OpenLP 2.0 has
|
||
been put through its paces, and people have been testing it by using it
|
||
in their services. Of course this opens us up to the discovery of bugs
|
||
and we have fixed a large number of those as well as introduced a number
|
||
of improvements. Much to our pleasant surprise, there were actually
|
||
fewer bugs than we were expecting.
|
||
|
||
If you have any problems setting up or using OpenLP, please read the
|
||
manual as well as the Frequently Asked Questions. Bug reports can be
|
||
sent to bugs(at)openlp.org, and queries not addressed by the FAQ or the
|
||
manual can be sent to support(at)openlp.org.
|
||
|
||
This release brings many performance and stability improvements. But not
|
||
only that, it also includes a number of new features:
|
||
|
||
- Customisable shortcuts
|
||
- Service printing can be tailored via a CSS file
|
||
- Start and stop media at selected times
|
||
- Open services files in OpenLP by double clicking on them on most
|
||
platforms
|
||
- Prevent two copies of OpenLP running at the same time
|
||
- Virtual page breaks
|
||
- Search for Custom Slides
|
||
- A progress bar when loading and saving Service files
|
||
- Web remote improvements:
|
||
|
||
- Search for, and go live on an item
|
||
- Search for, and add an item to the service
|
||
|
||
- Stage view
|
||
|
||
Other improvements and over one hundred bug fixes, including:
|
||
|
||
- Various Mac OS X specific fixes
|
||
- Reworked the Bibles for better language support
|
||
- Bug fixes in the song importer
|
||
- Numerous UI improvements
|
||
- Startup performance enhancements on Windows
|
||

|
||
|
||
Important Notes:
|
||
|
||
- HTML is not allowed in songs/custom slides anymore, it will be
|
||
displayed as normal text. If you would like to embed your own HTML,
|
||
you can use display tags instead.
|
||
- In order to make use of the Bible improvements, Bibles will need to
|
||
be upgraded. This will be automatic when OpenLP starts after the
|
||
upgrade. Note that this will take some time so do not do this upgrade
|
||
5 minutes before a service starts!
|
||
- Upgraded Bibles are incompatible with older versions of OpenLP!
|
||
- In order to fix searching for apostrophes, a re-indexing of the songs
|
||
is necessary. Go to Tools -> Re-Index Songs to do so.
|
||
- JPEG support on OS X is still an issue, but we're hoping to have it
|
||
resolved in the next release.
|
||
- There is a Snow Leopard build in the works.
|
||
|
||
Finally, you can download OpenLP by going to the Download page and
|
||
clicking on the installer for your operating system.
|
||
|
||
Don't forget to Like the OpenLP page on Facebook, retweet OpenLP's
|
||
tweets, and tell everyone you know about OpenLP!
|
||
|
||
For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord
|
||
Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving
|
||
thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that
|
||
the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you
|
||
the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him
|
||
better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in
|
||
order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the
|
||
riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his
|
||
incomparably great power for us who believe.

Ephesians 1:15-19a (English Standard Version)

God bless, the OpenLP team
