Hi! You might want to consider scanning the Sword++ git logs to cherry-pick some fixes back into Sword. For example Sword not verifying TLS certificates with Curl, enabling MiTM attacks [1] (not good to have in persecuted countries), a thread safety issue leading to hangs in front-ends [2], out-of-bounds memory writes, various memory and resource leaks etc. Work in progress.
Reporting all of these bugs back to Sword is not a priority for the Sword++ project, because it would tremendously slow down our (mostly my) efforts, and we just don't have the resources for that. I advise someone from the Sword team to take a look whether you can benefit from some of our work, although not all of these can trivially be ported to Sword. Besides these 2 cents, I'd also like to thank the Sword team for their great work! God bless!
