Jaak, We are supporting 32 bit devices and operating systems for the foreseeable future. Emails on sword-support confirm that.
Libsword use is considerably more than Bibletime. I am not argueing against increased speed and changes in the development model, I am arguing against careless breakage. Bindings and utilities are an absolute necessity, 32 bit support may well be necessity for a good while longer and the keeping small of the list of compulsory dependencies has reasons too.

Apologies for brevity and typos.On 26 Sep 2016 01:37, Jaak Ristioja <j...@ristioja.ee> wrote: > > On 26.09.2016 00:25, Peter von Kaehne wrote: > > Libsword needs to be working for all kinds of devices and in a million > > of unanticipated environments.
