zCom4 & zText4 modules? #244

Closed DavidHaslam closed 1 year ago

DavidHaslam commented 7 years ago

Support for zCom4 and zText4 never made it to SWORD 1.7.4 and will require SWORD 1.8 or later.

However, JSword has just been enhanced to support these ModDrv values.

The .conf file for such a module should include: MinimumVersion=1.8

What might happen to xulsword if it encounters a zText4 module? i.e. Will it crash or otherwise behave unpredicably? I imagine it should simply drop the module when the program opens.

JohnAustinDev commented 7 years ago

xulsword has for a while been built from SWORD svn revision 3203 which supports zText4. So zText4 modules aren't a problem for xulsword's engine. However zText4 is an unexpected module type for xulsword's module installer, so they are being rejected by version 3.14. But xulsword 3.15's installer will recognize and allow them.

I suppose the symptom would be that such a module would be recorded as Dropping in the consoleLog.txt file. As indeed it was for the RusCARS4 module.

Module RusCARS4 was rebuilt from the OSIS XML file by myself in order to see how other front-ends fare. Same content as module RusCARS but using the bigger record size.

btw. The module names ending with "eb" are all from the eBible.org repository. I suspect Michael's Haiola makes every module have the same MinimumVersion, even in cases where this is not strictly necessary.

The latest SWORD release is 1.7.4 so I don't know why xulsword 3.14 was still compiled against 1.7.3 See https://www.crosswire.org/wiki/Sword_library_versions

Aside:

Module FreBDM1707 is the French Bible David Martin 1707 that was built using one of the new versification schemes for French translations prepared by DomCox.

These av11ns will only become available in SWORD 1.8 or later.

The module was also made by DomCox and sent to modules at crosswire.

Aside:

I've really no idea why module KorRV has 

MinimumVersion=1.7.9
SwordVersionDate=2013-10-14
...
Versification=NRSV

Methinks this must be a typo in the conf file, as it should probably be OK with MinimumVersion=1.6.1

I have therefore created a modules issue 327
