Dear patient frontend developers :)
This weekend, as I was ready to release our RC candidate with a few very
minor patches submitted from generous developers, I compiled BibleCS
against the RC and discovered a very radical change we had inadvertently
made.
VerseKey vk1("jn 3:16", "jn 3.21"); // bounded versekey
VerseKey vk2;
vk2 = vk1;
This USED to conceptually position vk2 to "John.3.16". It now does a
full identity clone, assuming bounds and all.
What I've done to 'set things right', so to speak, is to push the
concept of VerseKey::positionFrom down to SWKey. SWKey::operator = now
calls SWKey::positionFrom, and there is a default implementation which
just calls the previously called SWKey::copyFrom method.
If these methods don't sound familiar, good. I am hoping my changes
have put behavior back closer to what they used to be-- hopefully what
most people expect.
All this to say, there has been an interface change and a small but
highly trafficked behavior change and I would like to post a new RC
before releasing.
I've used the opportunity to also fix a few standalone VerseKey
instances that remained in the engine and some utilities which were
forcing KJV-only v11n.
Look for a post soon. Comments and hatemail welcome and deserved.
-Troy.
