4.5 Beta 1 (v4.50.0.1142) will be available for testing this afternoon. Please read Important Change post about this beta.
To upgrade to Beta 1 when it ships, enter the *Update Now* command if you’ve switched to the beta channel before, or enter the *Set Update Channel to Beta* command if you're on a stable version (such as 4.3 SR-5). To install Beta 1 from scratch, see the notes and download link in this thread.
Installation Note: The Logos4Prerequisites.msi will be updated, which will require elevation. A few new and updated fonts will be installed.
See Release Notes: http://wiki.logos.com/Logos_4.5_Beta_1.
Summary of what's new in this Beta:
Highlighting has been merged into Notes, and it is now easy to convert a highlight to a note and vice versa. Additionally, we've provided several new note indicator styles, including 'No indicator', as well as the ability to select any highlighting style for your notes. Because highlights are now stored in Notes documents, this also gives you more control over which highlights are displayed in your resources with the Visual Filters menu.
Once a user has updated to 4.5 Beta 1, during the beta period Favorites and Resource Position preference changes will not be synched to the iPhone/iPad application. Changes in 4.5 Beta 1 will also not be synched to Logos 4.3 or earlier versions.
Yeehaw!!!!

What decision?
"When highlighting is added to selected text a note will now be added to the active, open Notes document, or to the most recently active Notes document "
This brings in significant challenges:
1. Notes are often of a transactional nature with regular additions and deletions. This throws my highlights (which I often want to perpetually remain) at great risk.
2. Notes for a resource is fragmented into multiple note files.
3. What happens when some of the note files with highlights of a resource are deleted? It becomes a very messy scenario.
I would prefer logos managing highlights as probably one note file per resource that is NOT exposed to the end-user.

Yes this seems like it could become confusing and dangerous. Although it's not completely clear.

I agree. But I'll withhold judgment until I try it out.

HH, is that 144000 smileys? ( I didn't take time to count them)

haha...the funny thing is I actually counted the smileys and came up with 144. Thats kinda funny.
downloading....
Lets see 12 smiles represent your Old Testament notes & highlighting -times- 12 smiles for your New Testament notes & highlighting = 144 smiles.
A perfect and complete joy.
here we go... wonderful!

This happened with the last beta release also.
The old design was single-user oriented, so it was okay that there was no "highlight document."
The change is driven by several things:
- Support for mobile devices and web-presentation of notes/highlights (Biblia.com), which drove some technical changes.
- New use cases requiring multiple sets of highlighting on a single book. (You can search within a highlight, do the Search Analysis on highlights, etc.) This requires "named" or "document-like" highlight sets.
- Document sharing -- in the future you'll be able to collaborate on annotations, or let select individuals take copies of your annotations; this also requires named and manageable highlight documents.
We could have duplicated the whole notes file system for highlights, but people are also asking for highlighting capabilities on the selections to which they attach notes. So it just made sense to merge these things together into a single annotation system.
