MyBible released two updates in 2 days here are the improvements and fixes for both new versions:
MyBible 5.6.1
Fixes
- Prevented an inability of MyBible to start in case if a MyBible appearance theme specifies borrowing
of some theme aspect from the same theme.
MyBible 5.6.0
Improvements
- File import functionality is “rendered harmless” and extended:
- Eliminated MyBible’s reaction to all file types in file managers, keeping reaction
only to two file extensions: *.json and *.zip. This is a compelled change, forced by
an apparent confusion of users faced with an unexpected MyBible 5.5.0 reaction
to all file types (“why does MyBible interfere with my starting MP3s from the file manager?”).
Import of all MyBible’s file types is still possible – via a .zip archive. - Supported import of .zip archive file contents. Note that most file managers on Android
handle .zip files by themselves (unzipping them “on the fly”, like if they are just directories),
so in order to pass a .zip file to MyBible for importing you will need to find in your file manager
a function like “Open with” and then select MyBible; some file managers may not even have
such a feature, so in this case you might want to use the system “Files” app. - In addition to file types possible to import in MyBible 5.5.0, supported import (from a .zip archive) of:
- notes (*.txt, *.html)
- fonts (*.ttf, *.otf)
- Added a usage tip on import of files.
- Prevented a crash when the user closes a file import dialog before the process is completed.
- Eliminated MyBible’s reaction to all file types in file managers, keeping reaction
- For extra module registries, supported having an extra module abbreviation
the same as a module in the main registry – both will be shown in the modules list,
both will be downloadable (but only one of them can be actually downloaded at a time,
since both end up as the same file on the device). - In the Strong’s number usage search functionality improved the Strong numbers entry dialog –
it is now possible to choose one or several Strong’s numbers from the history of accessed ones. - Added the “bookmarks: background” setting in the “Show” submenu, allowing to turn off and on
background highlighting for bookmarks shown in the Bible text. - When there is a current modules registry downloading problem, updating and downloading
of modules (per the last successfully downloaded modules registry) is no longer blocked. - Localizations:
- The entire Ukrainian localization is proofread by Roman Babiy.
- Updated the Serbian localization.
Fixes
- TTS:
- Removed requesting of the Phone system permission, since another way was found
to detect presence of an incoming or outgoing phone call, and pause TTS for that. - Fixed a problem of stopping TTS when the screen goes off or when another app is brought
to the foreground (the problem was introduced in MyBible 5.5.0). - Fixed pausing of TTS for phone calls, which was not working in last several versions.
- Removed requesting of the Phone system permission, since another way was found
- Prevented copying of shown Strong’s numbers-related information when the “Copy ancillary information” setting
is unchecked. - Corrected behavior of the extra registry adding dialog in part of the URL entry.
- Fixed an incorrect work of the “Borrowing from other themes” feature in the Themes window
in case if more than one part of theme settings is specified as borrowing from the same theme. - Fixed a problem of not being able to show some dictionary articles with big maps in them.
- Restored usage of the BOOKS_ALL.title field to show a full book name in the Bible text
(unintentionally lost in MyBible 5.5.0). - Prevented showing in dictionary selection lists of dictionary modules
having no DICTIONARY table (according to the MyBible Modules Format document update). - Fixed the action of the setting
“Repeated activation of the same word shows … from all the dictionaries and lexicons”. - Prevented showing of “%s” in the widget title in Psalms for some Bible modules.
- Corrected placement of a separator between a Strong’s number and a morphology indicator
in modules with right-to-left writing (in Hebrew). - When starting MyBible while there is not yet a downloaded Bible module,
the “Welcome” window cannot be closed until default modules for the user interface language
have been downloaded – this prevents a problem of an empty Bible window during the first MyBible launch
by a hasty beginner user who rushes to close the “Welcome” screen before default modules
have been downloaded.
