I had to make changes in JSword to accommodate the NASB. It is checked in. It 
works properly for Bible Desktop. I don’t know if it has been incorporated into 
AndBible or STEP.

I’m readying a release for Bible Desktop. Hope to have the nightly builds 
running again soon. Then a limited beta with those. Followed by an official 
beta. (I’ve about a dozen places that the av11n is not right, still assuming 
KJV.)

Last I looked, we have about 3K downloads of Bible Desktop a month from the 
CrossWire server. Haven’t looked recently. This is nothing compared to AndBible.

Part of the process is to change how I develop so that I don’t have changes 
that preclude more frequent releases. (That’s a different discussion.)
