8.7 (8.7.0.0039) is now available
The Logos Bible Software desktop application version 8.7 is now available to all users.
To immediately update to the current stable version, enter the Update Now command. Otherwise, the app will automatically update the next time it's scheduled to check for updates.
Notable New Features
Context Menu
The Context Menu in resources has new styling, and is now laid out left-to-right. You can find out more information from the Release Notes and this Blog Post.
Resource Text Selection Menu
This new feature provides quick access to commonly used commands and tools.
Update: We are aware of the issue with the Resource Text Selection Menu not showing up. We are working on a fix and will be shipping and SR as soon as possible.

Just curious. Is there an ETA for the new context menu to be launched in the web app?

Just Updated and enjoy the new menu. But, the "Show Selection Menu" option is not available in Program Settings.

Thanks,
just to let others know, the "Set Show Selection Menu to Yes" command won't work either.

Is it possible to turn it on from the command menu? I've tried "Set Show Selection Menu to yes" but that doesn't work.

Love what this update brings! One issue I am having is that whenever I bring up the context menu, there is no hover over feature for items in the main, left column that are too long & don't fit within the allotted space. Case in point, when right clicking on a word in my NA 28, I have four options that all read "Lexham Discourse Greek New Testament..." with, seemingly, no discernible way to differentiate them within the menu.

Sorry for the delay on the Selection Menu, folks. We overlooked a small but important detail to turn it on for all users. We are working on a fix, and we'll put out a service release ASAP.

I love this new update - especially the changes to the right click context menu. Kudos to the Faithlife team! [Y]

So can I jump to a morphology chart directly from the context menu now? Or do I still have to open a Bible Word Study guide first? (Just wondering since I haven't installed the update yet.)

8.7 SR-1 has been shipped, to turn on the Selection Menu for all users. Thanks for your patience!

I canceled my download of the SR, is this problem widespread?

The crash appears to be caused by combining multiple search filters, e.g., searching within a particular highlighting style and also searching within a passage range.
This can happen from running a Bible Search (with those options), but it can also happen in the background when Visual Filter documents are evaluated; this may be triggered by opening a resource.
We will ship an update as soon as possible tomorrow to resolve this issue.

I also wanted to say thank you for this update. I love how the Logos team is always forward thinking, seeking out ways, such as found in this update, to make the Logos ecosystem more efficient and productive. I think you'll see even more widespread praise for this update as it makes it way to users.

Don't know why, but my instance of Logos is not finding the new update. I'm stuck on 8.6.0.0052. I'm on a mid-2013 MBA running MacOS Mojave 10.14.6.

I was just about to post the same. I'm stuck on 8.6.0.0052 too on Win10, 1903

8.7 was pulled due to a bug that crashes the app. A new update will be available as soon as possible.
Thanks to FL for including Carta and a Hebrew audio bible in Logos 9!

This has been fixed in 8.7 SR-2.

Thank you Faithlife for a fantastic update that simplifies some of my workflow. Having highlighting instantly available without having to have an extra pane open is fantastic. Even better is the ability to instantly add highlighted verses to a passage list without having to first go open the passage list. This is an update that was clearly focused on core usability and it shows. Well done!

FL replied to me in the web app forum about another topic and advised that they were getting ready to pick up the web app project again, but that the first projects will be under the hood updates. As such, I wouldn't think we'd see the new context menu in the web app for quite some time.
I am very excited about the prospects of the web app, and can't wait until there's better parity between the web app and desktop. It may be a while, but I am confident that it will be well worth the wait. Logos reminds me a lot of Apple in terms of their development of updates / new features. It usually takes them a while to pull things together, but when they finally release its a wonderful product that was well worth the wait.
