NASB 2020

Will it be a free download or update?

In all likelihood, no. If a resource is updated and the publisher considers the updates part of the "same" resource, then updates are automatic and free. 

In this case, this is a completely new resource altogether. You would have to purchase it, and it would appear as a new resource in your library. 

I was just wondering when and how Logos would release the new 2020 update of the New American Standard Bible (NASB).

No idea. Typically resources go on "pre-pub" before they are released in Logos. That process can be short or long. The resource is not currently in pre-pub... take that as you will. 

It is not unheard of for a resource to jump into production quickly, which might happen here. On the other hand, Bibles probably take much more time than some other resources to convert, add RI's, etc. 

Thank you, JT.

Occasionally they also just... appear, already Live.

Thank you, but where?  I don't see it Live anywhere.

The comment was intended to say, "sometimes books just appear available for sale, without any pre-pub process at all." It wasn't in reference to the NASB2020 in particular.

Thanks for explaining my inadvertently cryptic post, JT! (Sorry, Irving!)

Thanks.

No problem, Sine.

That would be a neat addition to L9 whenever it comes.

Thank you, Ted!

VERY IMPORTANT! WILL THIS BE A STAND ALONE OR WILL MY 1995 DISAPPEAR?

 Sorry for the caps but they are for emphasis.

You are purchasing a new permanent resource licence.  This should have no impact upon the existing permanent resource licence in your library, They are two separate permanent licences. FL should not remove a resource from your library for which you have a legitimate permanent licence.

IMHO

Stand alone as always when you purchase a new resource. The only way an old resource would disappear is if the update were free and considered "the same resource" as the one being replaced.

Thank you- but I just had to know before I pulled the trigger.

Better to ask! [:)]

I just found out that The NASB20 is in production to be published by Logos sometime soon. The price is only $6.99. 

Glad everyone is happy about 2020, but I would be twice as happy if they fixed 1977 with notes and highlighting (corresponding) I use this version more than any other- duplicating hilites across other bibles is a pain.

That would require reverse interlinear functionality

Any idea when NASB 2020 will come out? Usually, the pre-production green line indicates how far along they are, but there is no indication when will it take place.

A couple days ago another company stated that they had yet to receive the tagged text, so I would suspect Logos may be waiting for a greek hebrew tagged text to process it. As I would suspect numerous people would be asking about when it would be tagged if it was released without it. The light is at the end of the tunnel just hold on a few more days...

Thanks. That’s good news!

I was told just before L9 launch it would probably be a few more months.

Could be I only know what i read at Accordance, the implied context was it would be days after they got the text not weeks that THEY would be releasing it. That said differing companies have differing processes. I know some people were upset that it was available online yet not from them. Logos will do things the way that is best for them, I am sorry if i mislead anyone, I had guessed that things would be similar at both companies as too length of time to prepare.

Wow, that's means sometime next year. 

Wow, that's means sometime next year. 

If it took Lockman Foundation 25 years to produce this update, I believe it is reasonable to give Faithlife a couple of months to tag the Reverse Interlinear.

Sorry, I did not notice you had responded to my inquiry. Based on your response, would it be possible to get an approximate date for the release? 

Thank you for your response. 

Funny, I have been waiting (like many others) since October of last year for the release of the NAS20, but no one is saying anything. I wonder why does it continue to take so long to release this update. Thanks. 

Logos,

Please give us an update on when NASB (2020) will be released.

Thanks

Ken

Where have FL said there will be an RI? It’s not included in the price of the Bible text for 6.99. I hope there is one and I hope I have missed where they said they are producing one or is it being assumed there will be one when the text is released?

Where have FL said there will be an RI?

On the Feedback site.

Most websites already have the NAS30 online. There is no reason to be waiting this long. It has been 6 months "in production". All I want to know is if anybody has an idea as to WHEN will be released? 

Thanks,

Thank you. So if only on feedback site no likely to be available when the text is released but happy to be wrong about that.

Is there any update on when the NASB 2020 will be available?

Why is it taking so long?

Ken

It is my opinion that the NAS20 has been given low priority. I don't care anyway. I have read so many negative things about this update that I will cancel my order the moment Logos releases it. Try waiting for the LSB (Legacy Standard Bible) that will be finished in the fall. As for Logos, who knows when they will release it after that.

Why not cancel it now, then?

I don't know all the details, but I heard that late April is our current estimate if all goes well.

I'm sorry it's taken so long.

Thanks Phil,

Hopefully, Faithlife can achieve, or even better, beat that timeframe.

Do you have any idea why it's taken so long?

Cheers

I don't have specifics, but if I had to guess I'd say Logos 9, Wordsearch, and Same-Day Release titles were prioritized higher and pushed it out a bit.

I've asked the team to start prioritizing new Bibles and treat them as Same-Day Releases as often as possible.

I have read so many negative things about this update

I read about some of the included alterations, and I am probably 30/70 in the "not happy" column. There may be some helpful updates (I sent them about half-a-dozen or more typos plus some needed [my opinion] translation improvements), but making the "most literal English version" into a "more reader friendly version" is probably going to lose Lockman the only solid readership they had. Granted, most people prefer easy over legit, but becoming "one of the crowd", especially in a Bible market saturated with "easy-reading" Bibles, seems like a successful suicide mission. I was looking forward to my fave Bible getting better--now, I'm probably not going to pick it up until it's been rolled into base packages after the new car smell has worn off.

There is no way to cancel it now.

You should be able to go to the Open Pre-pubs page on your account and delete it. That is the same as canceling. Can you not do this?

I didn't know that. Thank you. 

Have you thought about the LSB (Legacy Standard Bible) which is nothing but a glorified NAS95?

In your estimation, how long will it take to release the NAS20?

At the top of this page, Phil ballparked it to the end of this month...but that's a guesstimate, not a promise. FL is usually tight-lipped about product releases because any ballpark projection offered is almost invariably contorted into a ironclad promise, which results in impatient customers engaging in flaming histrionics if the tentative date isn't promptly met. Comfort yourself and think of Doris Day.
