a few comments and significant things for which to watch:
Joachim helped out on the new OSIS Footnotes functionality. The only module that has osis footnotes, currently (of which I'm aware), is the awesome new ESV module that Chris made, which is on the beta site, so you'll need to download the ESV to test these. They now support hover over popups and distinction between a real 'footnote' and a type="crossReference" which get's parsed like a linked verseList.
The other awesome 2 new Bible, the ChiNCVt and ChiNCVs are also available on the beta site and contain a new feature for 'preVerse' headings. These modules were already announced on the dev list, but still would like feedback if anyone has any issues with these.
ESV still seems to have odd characters for ', ", and maybe others. We'll try to get those taken care of soon (Chris?), so you need not report that as a problem.
A new parallel view has been added. We couldn't get the RTF control to display a nice grid, so we gave up. If you know how to REALLY make RTF display a nice grid (and can actually demonstrate it with microsofts cheesy RichEdit32 control, please send me and RTF example (wordpad uses this control, so you can test there without programming anything other than rtf). The problem is in word wrap and column height adjustment.
The verse reference parser and locales have been updated, with the help of Martin and Joachim, to handle some of the wacky and inconsistently formatted references the ESV has in it's cross-reference notes. If you don't see anything popup when hovering over a note, then the parser still can't deal with that text. Basic osisRef syntax was also added, and with these changes there may have been issues introduced with other locales. Please check any locale for which you have any stake, and let us know if there are any problems.
That's all I can think of for now. Thanks for all your great work and feedback.
Here are the links. Have fun!

Hi Troy,
How are you doing? Is the temperature in Az getting above 100 yet?
We tested the Traditional NCV and found it very stable except a few occasions. There was a few incidence that the software was terminated unexpectedly. We are trying to reproduce the bugs. We are extremely appreciative for Crosswire's help. We are very confident that it is just a minor bug.
God has opened many doors for us lately. Southern Baptist Church is considering
to distribute our Bibles to Asia. We are also working with Billy Grahm's
Oklahoma Mission. We are all very excited on the new release of Chinese-English
Parallel Bible. Our shippment is currently on hold awaiting for the CD.
The fast turnaround time by your team is very very impressive. It is beyond
our expectation. It will be nice to have an estimate on the release date
of the SW. Is the feature of parallel view the bottle neck? Any idea on
how much longer it will take to complete the development? Do you recommend
us to drop that feature? Your guidance and advice will be deeply appreciated.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
God Bless you and your team for the wonderful work.
In Him, Kenneth
