Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10 Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is based on the blog post: How to Use the Newest Logos Updates

The numbering scheme for new releases of the Logos/Verbum software is changing: *IMPORTANT* - New version numbers for Logos/Verbum software - Logos Forums. To those who always stay on the current version, this is unimportant. To those who don't know they can update for free, this is a big plus. For those who deliberately stay on an older version, it may matter. To NOT update automatically, Faithlife provide this advice:

Users who want to accomplish this usually set their update channel to an invalid channel using a command such as set update channel to invalid (or any other name you want that isn't default or beta). This means that the application will never find any updates to the software, but you can still download resource updates (and potentially control that by turning off automatic downloads).

But how do I know what is in the new release?

  1. If you regularly read the forums, on the release day there is always a post similar to this:10.1 (10.1.0.0041) is now available - Logos Forums which provides a link to the release notes and the download.
  2. The release notes can be accessed through the link in the forum announcement or directly through the wiki: Logos 10.1 (Wiki > Logos 10 & Verbum 10 > Release Notes)
  3. But what do these changes mean to me?  In the training blog, Mark Barnes released How to Use the Newest Logos Updates. Check it out. If you find it useful, let him know and encourage him to make it a regular feature.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
