Logos 4 Mac Alpha 14 Release Notes

The app should auto update, but you can always download the latest release from: http://www.logos.com/logos4mac

General

Quite a bit has changed in this release, a trend that I expect will continue in upcoming releases. Things that have been stable in previous releases should remain stable unless otherwise noted. However, new areas may be not-so-stable and are likely incomplete. So, if you choose to go spelunking in these areas, know that the likelihood of crashing and/or hanging increases.

Additionally, over the next few releases, we're going to be exploring, in stages, improvements to the overall look & feel of the app. This includes colors, shading, shadowing in-app iconography (not the Dock icon), etc.

• Added support for Greek/Hebrew morph information on word mouseover
• Dragging a horizontal boundary line no longer causes the application to crash

Known Issues

Settings Panel

• still needs the “Hidden Resources” section
• some preferences don't affect the content yet (e.g. “Program Scaling”)
• clipping issues when the Settings Panel has too narrow of a size

General

• Closing tab panels sometimes causes the app to hang, particularly with Guides. This is a bug with a third party open source framework we are using. We are working with the open source community to resolve this bug (Yes, Jack, this is the BBOD bug that is still here). This should happen less frequently, though.
• Having your default text size set above 100% will have undesirable results in some panels (Information, Reading Plan Tool)
• No Greek/Hebrew tense/mood information will show in the Resource Display if your mouse is already over the panel when it loads.

Favorites

• items inside folders can't be manipulated (dragged or launched)

(Bible) Explorer

• People Places and Things and Media do not support drag and drop of items
• Drag and drop for Commentaries is not reliable. Have not been able to consistently duplicate problem. 
• My Content is not implemented
• No context menus

!!! Biblical People/Places/Things

• These panels (even the unimplemented ones) leak memory.
