Thank you, Troy!
Well, it's probably just my developer's mind ... thinking that something
could go wrong with a module update and one may want to revert back to a
previous version.
Best regards,
Tobias

Hi Tobias. Well, adding to the API wouldn't be a significant change there.
What would be significant is retaining previous versions in the remote
repository. I doubt we can get people to offer every version of their
texts. Updates are usually bug fixes and if they are not simply this, we
usually break out the module with a new name, e.g. the NASB1995 is a new
module name to preserve the 95 edition, since the latest NASB module has
translation differences now as it is updated to the 2020 revision. If a
user wants the previous edition, they can grab the NASB1995.
If a user wants a previous SWORD version of a module, then we've done
something wrong.
Do you have a particular use case you have found which would benefit from
allowing previous SWORD versions to be installed?

Hi Troy,
As I am thinking about module upgrade support for Ezra Bible App (currently
not implemented) I am also (once more) asking myself why there isn't an API
for installing arbitrary module versions with InstallMgr.
The two additional use cases that I would like to have in the SWORD engine are:
- Add a function to list the module versions for a given module and a given
repository
- Add a version parameter to the installModule function
Would it be much effort to implement this in SWORD?
Are there any existing design constraints that make it hard to add this?
