I'm not sure why my Andersen-Forbes syntax database is version .90 when the Andersen-Forbes website says, "The A-F database of August 2010 (v0.95) is part of the current Logos release."
Can someone comment on this?

There is a possibility that Logos is working on a new version. It is also possible that the website is simply wrong.

Hi Brian
Check the title page - I think you will find it says 0.95 - even though the Logos title field reports 0.90!

Thanks, Graham!
Well, mine says ‘90’, Andersen, Francis I. and A. Dean Forbes. The Hebrew Bible: Andersen-Forbes Phrase Marker Analysis (V 0.90, Aug 09). Bellingham, WA: Logos Bible Software, 2009.
Graham, your thread referral is dated dec 2010, two years old.....So maybe we need a developer from HQ to address this issue instead of maybe guessing....I dunno....

Version 0.95 (Aug 2010) is in the current release, as the andersen-forbes.org website and the AFPMA heading indicate. Why the database label wrongly has "The Hebrew Bible: Andersen-Forbes Phrase Marker Analysis (0.90)" is known only to the Logos minions.
The folks at Logos are at work getting version 0.97 (Mar 2012) ready for release. Version 0.97 includes about 30,000 improvements in all, including greatly improved text type assignments, extended periphrastics, resolution of additional polysemic cue phrases, and cleaned up verb "semantics/valence" . Once version 0.97 is released, I plan to put a brief white paper explaining the improvements on our website.
We are actively at work on version 1.0. It will finally realize the "full representation" described in section 9.2 of our recently released book on Biblical Hebrew grammar. It likely will take the better part of a year to prepare 1.0 for release.
Hope that clarifies matters...

Feedback always welcomed!
Thanks Dean
Appreciate the clarification and the ongoing work.
Thanks, Dean. I just did an update on the resources but still have the same conflicting dates with the 'Phrase Marker Analysis'.
Maybe if Bob or a developer is lurking, they can speak some and clarify the issue….
The current shipping version is 0.95. Looks like we missed updating a piece of metadata or two, but the files (text, graphs, syntax database) are in sync.
Thanks Vincent.
Hi Dean! Where can I find a detailed explanation of how to use your syntax? Todd
Todd Robel:Where can I find a detailed explanation of how to use your syntax?
Check out the Eisenbrauns title Biblical Hebrew Grammar Visualized (https://www.eisenbrauns.com/ECOM/_3I71FCYV1.HTM).
We also had a disk of videos on syntax searching made in the days of LDLS 3 that I believe Dr. Heiser is reshooting for Logos 4. So that's something to watch for.
There are two issues here:
1. For an explanation of our grammar, see our recently published book, Biblical Hebrew Grammar Visualized. But, as we note in its preface, "this book is not a user manual for the Andersen-Forbes data as realized by the Logos software" (p. xii).
2. For "a detailed explanation of how to use [our] syntax", you will need to consult the teaching materials produced by Logos. The pair of tutorial white papers on our web site (andersen-forbes.org) assumes Logos 3, alas. I have not [yet?] sacrificed time from other projects to update them for Logos 4.
Too many ideas, too little time...
Dean
I got the cited syntax searching videos a few months back. They're quite good. And of course, they feature the best software ever written (Libronix!).
But an update for the 'blue one' would work too, since the videos are gone.
That's nice that 0.97 is coming soon!
Martin Grainger Dean:Any updates on this?
The update is ready to go, but there was a snag with the rebuilding of two of the reverse interlinears (one of which was the KJV), so I think we're waiting for this to be resolved to ship the update. I'm as anxious to get this out the door as anyone, but I don't have an estimate for you.
