Just a quickie update on the state of 1.5.3 from my experiences and such (Troy should have some real announcements soon).
The Sourceforge bug tracker for Swordlib now has only one bug, a memory leak in UnicodeRTF that may have been corrected recently (so maybe no more known bugs). I updated Daniel's SwordPackages Wiki page (http://sword.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/SwordPackagers( with some information about OSes/distros that I've successfully compiled Sword 1.5.3 on. So far, I've confirmed it to compile on BeOS 5.0, Debian (PPC) unstable, MacOS X 10.1, Yellow Dog Linux 2.0, and Windows (both with BCB and VC++ 6). I plan to test a few more OSes, like BSD and Solaris if I can get them to install, but I would consider Sword 1.5.3 to be done in at the moment. Sword doesn't work on QNX because of some namespace issues on that platform. My apologies to you QNX-users. :) --Chris
