...with the obligatory screenshot too.
In the screenshot above, you can see how we've started working on Themes, Previews, and the Slide Controllers. I searched for Genesis 1:1 in the Bible Verse plugin, and then sent it to the preview

controller.
We're currently working on the Service Manager (what used to be called the Order of Service) to make it a little more powerful that the previous one, and on getting things displayed on the second monitor. We already have some initial bits to both of those working, but neither is complete yet. [Less]

Hi folks,
Good news for those experiencing the latest two bugs, I've fixed them and I'm releasing openlp.org 1.0.3.
This release fixes a problem some folks were having where openlp.org would forget which monitor had been setup for
... [More]
the projector, and in some cases would throw a "List index out of bounds" error. It also fixes a bug where some folks would see a number of "openlp.org" folders in the recycle bin.
You can get all the 1.0.3-goodness from the download page. [Less]

The new Theme Manager is now taking shape and I have been able to generate some sample layouts.
There are a number of changes being introduced in the new versions. The most significant is that themes will need to be exported from version 1
... [More]
and imported into version 2 due to internal changes in the storage mechanism. The import will correct the structure and add defaults where appropriate.
Other changes include:
Real Font sizes not percentages on the screen.
Ability to set the font size and color for footers
Background rendering for circles.
Two examples are below. [Less]

One of the questions we get every now and then is "When is openlp.org 2 going to be released?"
To be honest, we have no idea. We're working on it whenever we get a chance, and I must say that the pace that we're getting things working is
... [More]
actually quite amazing. Many thanks go out to Scott Guerrieri, Martin Thompson and Tim Bentley who have done most of the work so far.
But, before I go on, let me show you a few screenshots on Mac OS X:
If you look in the screenshots above, you'll get a good idea of how the plugins system works. In the main window, you can see each of the items in the media manager. Each of these items is provided by a plugin. In the settings form you can see the tabs at the top of the window. Those tabs (apart from the core tabs - General, Themes and Alerts) are also provided by the plugin system.
The Songs plugin also provides the Song Editor form, which is called up and manages the songs. You can also see the Custom Slide Editor form that the Custom Slide plugin provides.
Eventually, the plugins will even be able to respond to events within openlp.org!
We still have a lot of work to do, but things are progressing nicely. If you'd like to find out how to help out with the development of version 2, have a look at the Getting Started page on our developer wiki. [Less]

Hi folks,
For those who haven't realised it yet, version 1.0 is in maintenance mode. This means that we are no longer working on it, apart from fixing the occasional bug. This also means that we are no longer supporting anyone else trying to
... [More]
compile or further develop 1.0 because it has reached it's end of life.
If you're keen to add features or otherwise help with the development of openlp.org, please work on version 2.0. We have a developer wiki with some articles on how to get started on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, and other important pages like coding standards and a plugin developers' guide.
You're also welcome to join us in IRC, where we have developers, users, and friends of openlp.org hanging out and chatting from time to time. [Less]

I've been hacking on the Image plugin for a while and finally figured out enough about Qt and it's Model View architecture to get the Media Manager to display the images as previews. My hope is I can reuse a lot of the code to display the preview and live panes... but that's for another day :)

The developement of the Bible plugin is nearing completion and we have mananaged to add some new features, as well as port the current functionality.
Bible Imports
Two new import methods have been added.
Ability to import bibles
... [More]
from Sword bible reader. This functionality will create a bible from a bible downloaded by the sword software. The quality of the import is only as good as the source material but it opens up access to a wide range of bibles in many languages.
Ability to access bibles directly from the Internet. These bibles will be downloaded on demand and cached on the local machine so they can be used whist not connected to the internet.
Bible Presentations.
It is now possible to mix verses and/or versions on the same slide.
For example
A slide could have Matthew 1:1 and Matthew 1:3 on the same slide.
Also a slide could have Matthew 1:1 from the NIV and The Message on the same slide.
Hopefully this will give you an idea of some of the improvements coming up.
