Two new BibleCS binaries are available on the alpha site. Sword-icu.zip: http://www.crosswire.org/sword/ALPHAcckswwlkrfre22034820285912/alpha/swo rd-icu.zip Sword.zip: http://www.crosswire.org/sword/ALPHAcckswwlkrfre22034820285912/alpha/Swo rd.zip
The only difference is that Sword-icu is built & linked with ICU stuff, so it includes the transliterator. Other updates (included in both) include: using SWMarkupMgr instead of SWMgr (no difference should be noticeable to the user) SCSU compressed/encoded modules now work (there aren't any available yet, but I ran a test with the BHS and got a 12% reduction in size when using SCSU and ZIP over just using ZIP) new splash screen I did a bunch of other little minor fixes & cleanups in anticipation of a public release. None of these should have any effect at all, but it's always possible. Sword.zip is more or less a release candidate for 1.5.3, whereas Sword-icu.zip could be thought of as an early beta of 1.5.4. --Chris
