Beta Bible Modules
Note: Missing verses are based upon the KJV versification. A list of common versification systems and how they vary from the NRSVA versification can be found here and here.

Module Name | Is the module complete? | Any eternal loops or other structural problems? | Conf Problems? | Display problems on any frontend? | Ready for import into main repository? | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
ABU 1.3 | NT only, conf reflects this, appears complete | features: WoC
In Matt 5 there is a WoC display problem. The WoC has a start in verse 3 and ends at the end of the last chapter. Fortunately, the WoC start and finish in this module is on chapter boundaries. If it had started in chapter 5 and finished in chapter 7 then the display of chapter 6 would never highlight the WoC. The SWORD Engine currently terminates WoC at a verse boundary, regardless of how it is encoded. This is because it does not keep state regarding WoC across a single verse. No frontend will display it correctly, because it is not a frontend problem. I (DM) see several solutions (there may be others):
The easiest is to change the module. If not that, I'd suggest changing osis2mod, which probably is the best solution, resulting in easier module definition. I don't like the SWORD Engine change, because it is incomplete.

None | Displays fine in GS, MS, SW, BibleCS, and BD but for WoC problem in these front ends [this problem is a code or frontend error--will not fix--Osk]. | ||
KJC | NT only, conf reflects this | features work - WoC | None | Displays fine in GS, BibleCS, BD, MS, SW | Ready | |
Leeser | OT only, conf reflects this The following verses are missing: Josh.21.36-37 Amos.9.15. the verses are empty, the content is not reversified and FNs deliver no explanation. Comparison with printed text would be useful |
UTF-8 encoding problems. See Gen 1:11 fruittrees. Plenty extraneous UTF8 control characters, abuses foot notes as secondary versification scheme (e.g. Hos 1:10-11 and 2:1) | None | Extraneous control characters in BibleCS, GS, MS, BD, SW. | Reimport and remove control characters | |
Noyes | Partial OT (Job-Mal), complete NT. NT empty verses:
|
UTF8 problem in Amos 1:1 et al - U+0096 all over text | About needs increased accuracy (re "italics") | Display problem dt superfluous control character in BibleCS, GS, BD, MS, SW | Reimport and remove control characters | |
Worsleys | NT only, conf reflects this | There is a markup problem concerning the WoC and transitive changes are badly marked. Example:
Matt.5.3-4 (formated for readability) <q who="Jesus"> Blessed </q> <hi type="italic"> are </hi> the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. <q who="Jesus"> Blessed </q> <hi type="italic"> are </hi> they that mourn; for they shall be comforted.
This WoC problem is in all tested apps: GS, MS, BD, SW and BibleCS. |
None | In GS, MS, SW, BibleCS and BD WoC problem (see e.g. Matt 5), but otherwise fine. | ||

FreCrampon Bugs already known, do not test |
Whole Bible Versification of this Bible is in the old Testament in stretches extremely different from the KJV. Both chapters and verses are of different length. As a result a lot of KJV verses, particularly at chapter ends are empty and other chapter ends are overloaded. Particular problems exist in the small prophets: Joel has 4 chapters and Malachi only 3 in original versification. As a result following verses appear empty when KJV versification is imposed. OT is missing:
NT is missing:

None | Displays fine in BD, GS, MS, SW and BibleCS | ||
FreJND | Whole Bible, appears complete | features: FN and Xref work fine
Skc (maintainer)> See FreJND about markup, it must probably be added in .conf, but where? DMS: I'd suggest a textual comment in the About. |
Headings in Psalms are all "canonical" and not subject to "heading" filter. If these are the only headings, should the conf still have Feature=OSISHeading? | Displays fine in BD, in GS occ UTF8 problem - Mal 1:9 and Matt1:20 create odd characters (star in front of SEIGNEUR or DIEU (skc> this is intentional)), SW displays junk before DIEU in Mal 1:9 (looks like an engine problem handling <divineName>), MS doesn't display these verses at all, BibleCS ok | |
FreMartin Bugs already known, do not test. |
Whole Bible (missing Acts.19.41 Rom.3.31 Rom.8.39 2Cor.13.14) Some verses are united: Acts 19:40-41, Rom 3:22-23, Rom 8:20-21, 2Cor 13:12-13, altering the regular versification scheme. A check against a printed Bible is needed to confirm this specific scheme. | Conf has UTF-8 encoding problems. | Displays fine in GS, BD, MS, SW and BibleCS |
German Bibles
Note: Versification of German Bibles in the old Testament is in stretches extremely different from the KJV. Both chapters and verses are of different length. As a result a lot of KJV verses, particularly at chapter ends are empty and other chapter ends are overloaded. Particular problems exist in the small prophets: Joel has 4 chapters and Malachi only 3 in original versification. As a result following verses appear empty when KJV versification is imposed.

Application Bugs Found During Testing
During testing pre-existing bugs may be found in an application.
MS
- In GenBooks: click on a leaf, then click on (About). (About) does not show. Sometimes nothing happens, other times another entry's content shows.
- In About w/ UTF-8 characters, e.g. GerLutherpredigten, garbage is shown because it tries to interpret it as "Latin-1".
- Does not handle WoC when milestoned quotes are used: Words of Christ
BD
- Does not handle foot-notes in anything but Bibles.
- Does not handle WoC when milestoned quotes are used: Words of Christ
GS
- Does not handle WoC when milestoned quotes are used: Words of Christ
SW
- Does not handle UTF-8 in Description when listing names of modules.
- In About w/ UTF-8 characters, e.g. GerLutherpredigten, garbage is shown because it tries to interpret it as "Latin-1".
- In About w/ \uxxxxx? RTF codes, e.g. TurNTB, ? is shown.
- Well, that's the expected behavior if the font lacks the encoded character (and so, not a software or a module bug but a font deficiency if anything).-Osk
- Does not handle WoC when milestoned quotes are used and transChange is in the WoC:
Words <transChange type="added">of</transChange> Christ
The words following <transChange> are not highlighted.
