e-Sword version 9.0 changes from 8.0

http://www.e-sword.net/files/setup902.exe

This update uses a completely different database format for all resources. Everything is faster and more reliable as a result of this change. All add-on modules have been updated and will need to be reinstalled to use with this update. You can redownload purchased modules using the original information you were given when previously purchased. User files will be automatically updated to the new format provided you are installing this over an older version of e-Sword. Each file will be renamed with an ".old" file extension when the conversion is successful.

The Bible Search feature now allows the ability to perform case-sensitive searches.

The multi-row tabs are now locked in place, so no more moving targets!

A new Bible book browser has been implemented and is no longer docked to the side of the program. Press the F2 key to display the Lookup Scripture Reference dialog next to the mouse pointer wherever it is located, or access it from the main toolbar with the button next to the "Lookup" combobox.

Study Notes can be made on any verse in the Bible, now including the Orthodox Apocrypha and the Catholic Deuterocanon.

You can now Export the Study Notes and Topic Notes in HTML, Word DOC and Adobe PDF file formats, in addition to the previous plain text and Rich Text formats.

You can now Import both HTML and Word DOC files directly into the Study Notes and Topic Notes.

The Print Preview feature has been updated, and now all printing is performed through it.

Highlighting custom colors are now saved for use between sessions.

Localization of the e-Sword user interface continues with the implementation of fully Unicode compliant controls

ATTENTION

This update uses a completely different database format for all resources. All add-on modules have been updated and will need to be reinstalled to use with this update.

e-Sword User Module Conversion Utility for e-Sword v9.0.1 is now available!

Mahaira Ministries

Brother Rick Meyers, the author of e-Sword, has graciously provided the Conversion Utility for e-Sword 9.0.1. It can be found at the e-Sword website in the Extras section. Scroll to the bottom of the page, download and convert away to your hearts content. Over the next week, we here at e-Sword Users will be converting our entire library, and then next weekend (May 9-10, 2009) we will take the e-Sword Users website down and release all of the converted modules at once.

IMPORTANT- If for some reason you encounter a problem converting your user made e-Sword modules and desire help, please leave a message in the newly created forum, e-Sword 9.0.1 User Made Module Conversion. Please don't ask Brother Rick for help, instead post your message here and the e-Sword Users Team will attempt to solve your issue.

Most likely you do *not* need to install this module conversion utility, but if you have been one of those adventuresome users who have created your own custom e-Sword modules then this utility should convert it for use with the current version of e-Sword. It is not possible to provide support for this tool as there is no way for me to know how you may have created your module

Keep the older Esword setup file vs 8 or before. Do not over write your previous download module and Esword Setup files. Those module not listed in Esword website may not be updated to work in version 9
