We're really happy to announce our first beta release of the upcoming OpenLP 2.4.
13
You might think this is really soon after the last release, and it is true. We are having to accelerate our release to
14
move to PyQt5 due to a packaging problem on Debian, Ubuntu, Mint and other Linux distributions. As of today, OpenLP is
15
no longer in the Debian repository because a package it relies on has been removed.
17
We're long overdue moving to Qt5 as it is, so this just means we're moving to Qt5 a little sooner than we had
20
A number of features have been added, and some bugs fixed, in this release:
22
* Removed unnecessary ‘?’ help buttons, and fixed the remaining ones
23
* Double verses at end of song now show correctly on stageview
24
* Ctrl-F selects all text in the search field
25
* Verse order can now be either upper or lower case (e.g. "v1 v2 v3" or "V1 V2 V3")
26
* Songbooks now support multiple songbook entries
27
* Fixed various issues with song importers
29
While version 2.3.1, the first alpha, was release, we didn't blog about it. The following updates were released in 2.3.1:
31
* Upgrade to PyQt5 from PyQt4
