When and what features will be added and improved for L4?

Does anyone know what features are being prioritized and when will they be released for L4? Important to me right now is the copy passage features (this is a must). A full list of search terms/operators that will work in L4 (certain boolean operators are not working, like 'exact' on word searches.

Thanks

Thanks again! You've been my help twice. They released the program now, but for some those features are needed sooner than projected. Also, with all the feedback from the posts, maybe logos has re-prioritized certain features that are not listed on the web page.

Yes, possibly. But nothing I've seen yet, officially.

In terms of not soon enough, the balance Bob felt was important was to consider releasing the product as is and letting people take advantage of the new features already implemented (while still able to use L3 for those not) or just wait until it was all done. Either way, he argued, you won't have the feature that isn't yet there until its there - In other words, if you can't wait for sentence diagramming until Q2 2010, it would not come faster if they delayed the launch of L4 until it was ready, it would still be Q2 2010 -- only you'd have nothing that L4 does have until then. He said, (paraphrased) if you want to wait until that certain feature is added, wait, no one is forcing you to move out of L3 or into L4.

So, I'm interested in a VW clean diesel, but I'm also unwilling to buy a new car. So, I can wait until the new ones become available on the used car market and in the meantime keep running my Caravan -- it is my choice. But for those who have no car (no Logos) he wants to get it out there so they can get on board with the new and add features as they are developed. He's taking a risk. But not forcing anyone to do anything.

If you can't live without an L3 feature, don't.

All that said, I do agree that Logos has not communicated the lack of features well/adequately/at all in many cases. That's a mistake they've made.

Okay they made a mistake. That's water under the bridge. I think everyone has heard that they've done that poorly. Can I say, move on, nicely?

If you really don't like L4 ask for your money back, wait until Q3 2010 or whenever the features you want are finished, and buy in then -- probably at a higher price point -- that's your prerogative. I'll wait for my Jetta diesel, you wait for L4.

That's my point of view. Hope it isn't a rant.

Not sure what you mean, but we have put multi-verse support into Copy Bible Verses, and are adding global shortcut keys for it. This will be released soon.

I believe there's a forum post here with search operator help, and we'll continue to work on the help file.

I really like the program, not trying to bag it, just checking into what is being prioritized. For the CBV, I was thinking about the multi-verse feature, the ease of creating a custom style (this seems to be much easier in L3, I tried it and found it more difficult for customization) and also will there be an icon in the tray to open a CBV window.

Just open tools, then click and drag CBV to the right of the command bar to create a shortcut for it.
