Version 3.1.0.995-1004 31 Jan 2010

This is the first major update since release 3.0.

Major new functions include:

1. New Graphics Viewer for displaying maps and pictures. The new viewer appears when double-clicking on any image. It supports zooming and panning. Major image formats (bmp, png, jpg, wmf, gif) are supported (including transparency)

2. Images and graphics are now automatically resized in the Viewer. This allows easier reading. Resizing can be enabled on the module level and the end-user can choose to activate it or not. Much improved rendering of images has also been added with anti-aliasing on resized images.

3.  Major new functions for supporting morphology parsing and lemmas for original language modules. Searching has be greatly enhanced to support grammar searching (combined with strongs, lemmas, partial matches, etc). Bible view options dialog has also been enhanced to support new features. Strong codes and grammatical information can now be completely hidden from the viewer and appear only when the mouse moves over the words (all previous functions are also supported, e.g. inline links, etc). New 'Lookup' menus on Bible view context menu to lookup words in all modules (including lemmas, strong tags)

4. New icons everywhere: sharper and easier to read. Also, a new theme was added, Office 2010.

5. Unicode-only languages are now supported in the editors (also 3rd party virtual keyboards should now work properly)

6. Faster startup time in installations with many modules

7. Several small enhancements and bug fixes have been introduced (see list below).
