More JPS delay

Since I last wrote, the JPS version of VerseWise has been rejected two more times! (Or is it three?) I believe I have remedied all of Apple's concerns and just uploaded a new binary.

Of course, this also affects the other versions of VerseWise. Users of these other versions will noticed fewer graphics in the History section.

Sorry for the delay!

I am also working on a 2.1 update. At this rate, JPS users may see 2.1 within a week or two of 2.0. :\

Landscape

Just wanted to let you know that I am working on restoring Landscape mode. Unfortunately, it is not as trivial as I'd like, what with the new toolbar, which is why I released update 2.0 without it. But iPhone OS 3.0's extended use of Landscape has given me new motivation! 

JPS delay

For those of you waiting for JPS to be updated to 2.0, I apologize! I encountered my first application rejection!

Even though JPS looks exactly like my KJV, RV and DR releases, the reviewer did not like the fact I was using the Bookmarks button to activate View History. Even though Safari accesses its View History through its Bookmarks button. I even re-submitted the app to give the reviewer a chance to see the error of his ways. (Alas, he did not.)

I do intend to add full bookmark functionality, but until then I've updated the button.

I will update the other versions with this button, unless I add full Bookmarks functionality first.

2.0 released

Update 2.0 of KJV is now available in the store. I'll be uploading the other translations over the weekend; they should be in the store within the week.

This update includes:

• View history
• Low light refinement
  
• Settings moved into app

Update 3/3: JPS and RV have been uploaded to the store (and should be available in a couple days). I am now working on updating the DR text (I found a source with fewer typos), and will upload that soon.

View history

Along with making Settings more easily accessible, I've added View History bookmarks to the 2.0 update. They store up to 100 of your last accessed chapters. Being able to bounce between multiple chapters is very convenient!

Expect more bookmark functionality in the future, including bookmarks you can add and save and reading plans (such as Bible-in-one-year and weekly Torah portions).

Psalms numbering in Douay-Rheims

I've had a couple questions come in recently about how the Psalms are numbered in the Douay-Rheims Bible. In some places it can appear they're off by one or two. There is a good explanation on Wikipedia.

Basically, the Douay uses the numbering from the Septuagint, which is the Bible that Jesus and the Apostles used. So, no need to feel bad because you're different! :)

Low light mode refinement

Refining low light mode a little for 2.0. Oh, and is that a new icon down on the toolbar?

Update 3/3: I've had a request to return the navigation and toolbars back to black. I'll work this into a future update.
