+==============
+OpenLP Website
+==============
+
+This repository holds the OpenLP website, so that anyone can contribute to the site.
+
+The website is built using Nikola, the static site generator. It uses Disqus for comments, which has superior
+spam detection and moderation tools. The instructions below show you how to get set up on your local machine.
+
+Installing Nikola
+-----------------
+The OpenLP site is built on **Nikola** 7.6.x. This means you'll probably need to install it in a virtual environment.
+Not to worry, this is pretty simple.
+
+First up, install the ``python-virtualenv`` package::
+
+    $ sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
+
+Now create a virtual environment somewhere. I usually put it in the same directory as my Bazaar repositories::
+
+    $ virtualenv venv
+
+Once that has been created, you can install Nikola with ``pip``::
+
+    $ cd venv/bin
+    $ ./pip install --upgrade nikola
+
+*Note: I'm using ``--upgrade`` to make sure that I install the latest version of Nikola, so that even if I have a version of Nikola installed, I'll have the latest and greatest here.*
+
+I like to symlink the ``nikola`` binary into the project directory I'm working in, for ease of use::
+
+    $ cd ~/projects/openlp/website
+    $ ln -s ~/venv/bin/nikola nikola
+
+Now you're ready to start working on the web site. Next step is to build the site::
+
+    $ nikola build
+
+That will run through a whole bunch of stuff and build the site for you. To run the site, simply use the ``serve``
+command::
+
+    $ nikola serve
+
+This will start a local Python web server and tell you where to go in your browser in order to preview the site.
+
+Once you're this far, you'll be ready to start contributing toward the we site. Have fun!

+OpenLP has hit another milestone with 100 Facebook fans! This is yet
+another sign of OpenLP's growing popularity. 2009 has been a great year
+for OpenLP. Version 1 has seen updates and is better than ever and
+version 2 is coming along nicely with many of the frequently requested
+new features and an overall improved look and feel. As more and more
+churches move to using media to enhance their worship experiences it
+only stands to reason that the popularity of OpenLP will continue to
+increase. What will 2010 bring to OpenLP world? A release of 2.0? 200
+fans on Facebook? 500? perhaps even 1,000 Facebook fans? Whatever
+happens it is great to see that OpenLP is gaining in popularity and also
+helping Christians all over the world worship Him more effectively.
+
+If you're not already a fan, why don't you head over to our Facebook
+Page and become a fan! Don't forget to follow OpenLP on Twitter, and add
+the RSS feed to your aggregator! We also have a group on Facebook, and a

+It is time once again for an OpenLP head count. 1,000 Facebook fans is a
+huge sign of the people who use and support OpenLP. While, of course, we
+aren’t exactly getting scientific here, it is great to know that OpenLP
+is helping out churches literally all across the world.
+
+The OpenLP Beta 2 release has been out for a while now is working very
+well . I know it has been working very well for our church. Further
+improvements are scheduled for the next beta release that will be out
+soon. As always your input is need, in bug reports, testing, and
+spreading the word about OpenLP.
+
+We can also especially use the help of Mac users. The developers and
+testers for the most part do not have a great deal of access to Mac
+hardware. If you are a Mac user and have time your help would be greatly
+appreciated. The hope is that OpenLP will be running on OS X Lion on the
+release after the upcoming release (1.9.8). Currently OpenLP does not
+run on Lion due to known issues.
+
+Another thing to look forward to in coming releases is improved
+multimedia support. I know this has been an issue for many users, me
+included. Don't fear help is on the way. It may be a few months before
+this is completely resolved but there is a huge effort to get media
+support working properly in OpenLP on all platforms for all users.
+
+We are extremly grateful for all those users of OpenLP that have left a
+message of thanks and support. I know this is a great uplift to the
+developers who are tirelessly working on this project in their spare
+time. Also, if you need support there are several options for you. You
+can always drop an email to support at openlp.org, or chat at #openlp on
+freenode, and you can use the convenient web chat. We are also still
+working on documentation for version to so be sure to check it out also.
+
+The community at OpenLP is always growing. If you would like to get
+involved in developing, testing, documentation. or support, come join in
+today and help us make OpenLP even better.

+but the software will still run fine afterwards.
+
+Secondly, in some cases, the Search Button in the Bible Verse Lookup

+The milestones for OpenLP keep on coming. Today we reached 200 Facebook
+fans! Excitement is building for the release of version 2.0, and version
+1 has been receiving some nice improvements over the last few months.
+There have also been some comments about users leaving high priced

+and more churches are turning to OpenLP because of cost. After turning
+to OpenLP many are being pleasantly surprised at how well it competes
+and in many cases performs better than its high priced alternatives.

+OpenLP has hit yet another milestone, 350 Facebook Fans. While not
+scientific, it appears that OpenLP's popularity is ever increasing as

+
+ 
+
+As you can see OpenLP 2 is running very nicely on Ubuntu.
+
+Please be advised that version 2.0 is still in the alpha stage. It will
+likely crash and do strange things without warning, so we can use all
+the testers that have the time to try things out. If you are interested
+in trying out OpenLP 2.0 check out the FAQ . It would not be advised to
+depend on version 2.0 for your every day needs just yet.
+
+Please try OpenLP 2.0 out and help us make it the best release possible.
+Also, feel free to join us in chat anytime.

+With OpenLP version 2.0 development heading fast to another alpha
+release, the popularity of OpenLP seems to also be rising. Granted,
+using Facebook as a popularity meter may not be the best way to tell,
+but seems pretty good to us. One of the most notable changes that has
+happened recently has been major changes to the output display. With the
+next release you should see working text over video, text enhancements
+(bold text, text colors, etc) and spell checking. I really look forward
+to the spell checking because there is something pretty embarrassing
+about looking up from the stage on Sunday morning realizing that you
+misspelled something.
+
+The songs plug in has also seen some improvements. Alternate song titles
+are now working and also the ability to link media files to songs.
+Personally I have also been playing around with the remote plug in. It
+has a lot of uses but one that I have seen is using it for nursery
+workers to flash something on screen when they may need a little
+parental help.
+
+OpenLP from a user's standpoint has really come a long way in the last
+few months. I came to OpenLP from using a rather expensive “boxed”
+software solution and OpenLP is set to absolutely blow it out of the
+water for features and not to mention price. Then combine that with the
+relatively low system requirements versus the others, and its simply
+amazing what OpenLP is set to accomplish.
+
+We can always use testers, especially as OpenLP nears completion. Please
+check out the download section of the site to download the latest alpha
+release. For more information on 2.0 check out the OpenLP 2.0 specific
+section of the forum and always feel free to hangout with many
+developers and users in chat on #openlp.org on freenode or check out the
+webchat option.

+It's difficult to tell just how popular an open source project is, but
+with OpenLP's Facebook following growing it seems safe to say that
+OpenLP's popularity is also growing. Version 2.0 is really starting to
+look like a mature finished product. The recent release of the first
+beta has been very positive. We are now suggesting that all new users
+start out with 2.0 Beta 1, since support has now officially ended for
+the 1.x series and 2.0 has reached a very stable point in its
+development.
+
+The OpenLP community is constantly growing and changing. We can always
+use an extra hand as OpenLP is a large project. We could especially use
+assistance writing the documentation for version 2.0. The developers are
+working hard to make sure that OpenLP is not just an alternative to
+commercial software but that it is a superior option. Part of being a
+superior product is having great documentation and support. If you are
+like me and not a programmer but would like to help out, maybe assisting
+with documentation is a place you can help out. If documentation is not
+for you, but you are good at helping others we can always use help
+answering questions in the forums or providing support in IRC.
+
+Since I am someone whose church has been blessed by the developers of
+OpenLP I would like to also take a moment to thank them for their hard
+work and dedication. It is rare, even in the Christian world, for a
+group of people to set out to do something with no hope of physical or
+monetary reward. The developers of OpenLP truly are doing this by making
+this product available to all and asking nothing in return.  As we enter
+the Easter season may we all be more like this and ultimately learn from
+Christ selflessness as he gave himself for us who did not deserve it.
+
+    5But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our
+    iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and
+    with his stripes we are healed.

+At last, after five hours of labour, the new mother was resting with her
+newborn son gently nursing while her husband was taking care of the last
+few things after the birth. It hadn't been an easy day and she was glad
+that it was over.
+
+After a number of days' travel, they had reached their destination, the
+so-called "City of David." However, even after the journey was over,
+they struggled to find accommodation. Eventually, an old innkepper,
+seeing a heavily pregnant woman, had pity on them and offered them the
+only place he had left open, his stables. And it wasn't over yet, just
+as they settled down, Mary's labour started. Now everything was over,
+and they could finally rest.
+
+Joseph put the last of the cloths in the bucket of washing water, and
+walked over to his wife. Despite the hour and the preceding labour, her
+face was glowing, and she was happy. He looked down at the boy in his
+wife's arms, and thought back to the miracle of how the Lord had made
+his wife pregnant, despite her being a virgin.
+
+While this boy was not technically his, Joseph already regarded the baby
+as his own. One day, this little Jesus would save the world, but until
+then, he needed a father here on earth.
+
+    And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And
+    she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling
+    cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them
+    in the inn.

+Hi Folks,
+
+I was in a local Christian bookstore yesterday, and I suddenly thought,
+"What if, for the release of openlp.org 1.0, we make a distribution kit
+for people to distribute openlp.org to churches and to Christian
+bookstores?"
+
+My idea is basically this: we create a professional distribution kit for
+people to download, burn to CD, and then hand out to churches, Christian
+bookstores, and other places.
+
+The distribution kit would contain the following:
+
+A CD ISO image containing the following:
+
+-  A nice autostart screen that opens when the CD is inserted into the
+   drive, with a menu to get started.
+-  A full manual, including a "Getting Started" guide, in several
+   formats.
+-  The openlp.org 1.0 installation application, of course.
+
+A professional-looking CD label for people to print and stick on the CD.
+
+A professional-looking CD cover for CD cases containing the CD.
+
+A big poster.
+
+A smaller poster of sorts.
+
+A brochure that could be handed out as well.
+
+If you can think of anything else to add, let me know!
+
+Of course, to do all of that we'll need a few things:
+
+-  Graphic designer(s) to design the CD label, CD cover, posters,
+   brochure and autostart screen.
+-  Some technical writers to write the documentation.
+-  LOTS of people to distribute openlp.org to their local Christian
+   bookstores, churches, and other places.
+
+So, if you can and would like to help out, please let me know. Use the
+contact page to get into contact with us.

+They carefully crept into the stable, so as not to wake the baby, and as
+they entered the stable each one gasped a little. "Here he is, this
+child will save us!" whispered one of the herdboys at the back of the
+group to another. A feeling of awe and amazement came over them, and
+they quietly but excitedly went over to the proud father and shook his
+hand, and then gave the young mother a hug.
+
+It was a breathtaking moment, right there in the stables. This little
+baby, born to a poor carpenter and his young wife, would fulfill all the
+prophecies of countless generations and prophets. The nation had been
+waiting for this moment for more than 600 years.
+
+    As the angel choir withdrew into heaven, the sheepherders talked it
+    over. "Let's get over to Bethlehem as fast as we can and see for
+    ourselves what God has revealed to us." They left, running, and
+    found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. Seeing was
+    believing. They told everyone they met what the angels had said
+    about this child. All who heard the sheepherders were impressed.
+
+    Luke 2:15-18 (The Message)
+
+May the Lord bless you this Christmas, and remind you of what Christmas
+is really all about.

+As you may or may not know, my primary desktop system runs Kubuntu
+Linux. I do this because Linux is far more stable, it's virus-free, it
+has far superior security, and in general is more user friendly. It's
+also updated frequently (every 6 months in the case of Kubuntu), any
+security flaws that are found are patched immediately (including my
+system downloading and installing those patches), and it's 100% free to
+boot. As such, I like to promote Linux as an alternative to Windows.
+
+Recently I came across a "rant" - a person venting their frustration -
+on a Dutch chap's site. It is unlike a normal rant because not only is
+the length of a dissertation, but it's also well thought out and well
+written. Most rants are irrantional, illogical and full of insults; this
+rant was the complete opposite. And what was the rant about? It was
+about Microsoft.
+
+I urge you to read this document. You can find it at:
+http://www.vanwensveen.nl/rants/microsoft/IhateMS.html. It's a very
+honest and factual essay on Microsoft. As you read it, I encourage you
+to think about what a Christian response to Microsoft would be. Should
+we as Christians actually be using their software? Should we be
+endorsing a company like that through using their software?
+
+It says in Philippians 4:8-9: "8Finally, brothers, whatever is true,
+whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is
+lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or
+praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or
+received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the
+God of peace will be with you. "
+
+My question is this: Is Microsoft a company you want to associate with
+as a Christian, as a member of the Church? Are they "true, noble, right,
+pure lovely or admirable"?
+
+I would recommend that you show print out this document and show it to
+your pastors and those involved in the leadership of your church. Ask
+them to think about what I've said.

+
+We've found a few more bugs, so we haven't released yet. That said and
+done, I think that we will release in this week, even if there are still
+known bugs, just to get the release out there.
+
+Also, I didn't have the time I thought I would have, since my fiancée

+well, firstly, i'm working on a freelance basis until the end of the

+year. thanks to this company that stuffed me around a bit, my fincances
+are VERY thin. i'm barely making it financially and any prayer is very
+much appreciated.

+secondly, i'm very busy otherwise, due to church commitments mainly, and
+then this freelance work (as any freelancer knows, you're \*always\*
+working - well, except for sundays). so i have't had much chance to look
+at openlp.org.
+
+however, i have had a bit of a look at it, and there are a few things in
+the pipeline at the moment.
+
+there's a fairly major "bug". there's a couple of SQL statements which
+makes large databases with many authors take \*FOREVER\* to load, thus
+making the program appear to hang when it is started. i'm trying to
+figure out one query that will do all the work, and quickly, but i never
+wrote the majority of the code in openlp.org 1.0 and on top of that i
+have never used sqlite before. so i'm wading through these things, but
+i'm getting there.
+
+also, one of the features that has been frequently requested since the
+0.9x days is multilingual support. this actually looks to be \*fairly\*
+trivial to implement, so i'm busy with that too at the moment. so
+hopefully i'll have beta4 out soon with multilingual support in it!
+
+other than that, i don't have much to say...
+
+God bless folks!

+I've busy with a few things marketing-related for openlp.org lately,
+including creating a flyer for people to print out and hand out, or put
+in local Christian bookstores (with their permission, of course).
+
+This flyer is done in Scribus 1.3.3.9, and the page size is A4. In South
+Africa our standard paper size is A4. I don't have any Letter size
+paper, so I can't test that flyer out. I've attached both a PDF and the
+original Scribus file to this post so that you can download it and print
+it out, and if you have an alternate paper size, you can edit it to fit
+your paper size.
+
+If you do print it out from the PDF, make sure that it disregards the
+printer margins when you print it out. I've sized it on the page so that
+it fits well inside the physical bounds of the pieceof paper. It's 3
+columns, so that you have 3 flyers per sheet of paper. Don't forget to
+flip the paper over and print the second page on the back!

+We're very close to releasing OpenLP 2.2 now. We've made a few

+release will be 2.2.
+
+These are the bugs we fixed in this release:
+
+-  #1473632: crash on every file dialog

+
+I'd like to say a special thank you to Tomas G who has been fixing bugs

+PyInstaller and OpenLP to make OpenLP sail on Mac OS X.
+
+A Windows build will be uploaded during the course of the week.

+This new application replaces the existing Android Application. The two versions can be installed side-by-side on the same device.
+
+This code is Alpha so has been tested and, in at least one church it is already being used live but there may still be issues with it.

+The new version builds on the Android 5 material design theme and whilst will work on a phone, a tablet is the recommended device.
+
+This new version works with OpenLP 2.0 and 2.1.5.
+
+The following functions are supported:
+
+* Select Address and Port of running OpenLP instance.
+* Handle user authentication of display changes. - **2.1.5 only**  
+* Support SSL if implemented on OpenLP - **2.1.5 only**
+* View all items in a service
+* Change the slide of a live item
+* Make an item in a service live
+* Blank the display
+* Issue an alert
+* Support a graphical main view - **2.1.5 only**
+
+The new version can be found at the `Google Play Store`_.

+Following hot on the heels of the 1.9.10 release the next version of the
+Android client has escaped.
+
+This client version works best with 1.9.10 but will also work (with
+restricted functionality) with other versions.
+
+The new features added since 0.4 are:
+
+-  Changes to the panels to allow them to be swiped left and right
+   instead of only being accessed via the menu. This should improve  the
+   usability of the application.
+-  Provide the ability to poll the main application for updates. This
+   will allow two users to work together. In the settings there is a
+   "Refresh Displays" setting which allows the refresh time to be set.
+   The default is 5 seconds and a refresh time of 0 seconds turns this
+   feature off.
+-  Following requests from a number of users it is now possible to have
+   Server profiles for different locations. These are accessed again via
+   the settings panel.
+-  To aid usability, the displayed verse is now highlighted on the live
+   tab so it is obvious which slide is selected.

+|Ubuntu 12.04|
+
+The OpenLP team has always supported older versions of Ubuntu, even when
+they were no longer supported by Canonical. Unfortunately this places a
+strain on the team and on which tools we can use to continue developing
+OpenLP. For this reason we have decided to only support versions of
+Ubuntu that Canonical themselves support.
+
+Recently Canonical announced that they would be ending support for
+Ubuntu 10.04 and 11.10 at the end of April. This means that only
+versions of Ubuntu 12.04 and higher are supported by Canonical. OpenLP
+therefore will only be supporting releases on Ubuntu 12.04 and higher as
+of immediately. This also means that the upcoming 2.0.2 bugfix release
+of OpenLP will only be available on Ubuntu 12.04 and higher.
+
+Since 12.04 is the latest Long Term Support release of Ubuntu, we are
+hoping that this should not affect anyone. If you are affected, and
+there is some reason why you cannot upgrade to a later version of
+Ubuntu, you can come into our IRC channel and chat with us about getting
+OpenLP running on your computer.

+Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you read that correctly. OpenLP 1.9.9 is the
+last of the beta series. From now on, OpenLP is in release candidate
+phase! Release candidate phase means that we will not be adding any more
+features and will be concentrating on fixing bugs.
+
+We believe that all the functionality which was in version 1.2 has now
+been included in version 2.0, and for the next few months we will be
+focusing our efforts on fixing as many outstanding bugs as we can.
+
+Features added:
+
+-  Transparent themes, for background videos (theme video backgrounds
+   not yet possible)
+-  On-the-fly changing of backing tracks
+-  Repeating of backing track list
+-  Use `VLC for displaying
+   videos <http://manual.openlp.org/configure.html?highlight=vlc#available-media-players>`__
+   - not on Mac OS X yet, unfortunately. (Note: To be able to use this
+   feature the `VLC media player <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/>`__ has
+   to be installed on your computer.)
+-  Search songs by song book/number
+-  Configurable `automatic service file
+   names <http://manual.openlp.org/configure.html#default-service-name>`__
+   using the date
+-  The reference format used to look up Bible verses has been localised,
+   and can be changed along with the interface language
+-  Configure the "next slide" action when at the end of the current item
+   in the slide controller to either move to the first slide again, to
+   the next slide of the next item, or nothing.
+
+Of course we have also fixed over 46 bugs in this release!

+The full list of changes can be seen on `our launchpad

+
+We're pleased to (finally) announce the latest bugfix release of OpenLP
+2.0, version 2.0.2 (codename Debugged Deborah). In this release we have
+made over 30 tweaks, improvements and bug fixes all over OpenLP, but the
+areas that have seen the most work are the user interface and the song
+importers. This wouldn't have been possible without all the feedback and
+error reports we have recieved from you guys. They really do help!
+
+Some of the bugs fixed in this release:
+
+* OpenLP does not start due to mimetypes bug
+* Theme in Song Editor is never reset
+* We should not warn when verse order is empty
+* Inconvenient focus in Song Editor when adding authors
+* Macro enabled presentations are not shown in OpenLP
+* Images always get black background when loaded from saved service
+   file
+* "Display verses on live tool bar" ignored
+* Typing a path for a theme background causes a key error
+* Typing a path for a theme background does not set background
+* Adjust Line Spacing does not work
+* Configure shortcuts has two items called settings
+* Attach button on exception form does not work
+* Transtion + fast slide changes + ESC causes screen to open again
+* Delete button in Configure Formatting Tags gets focus
+* Importing an OSIS bible always results in English book names
+* Traceback in czech bible download Webbible import fails
+* Traceback when importing bible with disabled bible plugin in FTW
+* Non existing chapters result in traceback when searching webbibles
+* getFileNames corrupts file names that use "special chars"
+* Opensong Import \*some lines missing
+* Foil Presenter Importer fails if no verses
+* SongShowPlus traceback
+* SongShowPlus importer does not handle verse labels such as 1A
+* Issues importing Sunday Plus Files
+* OpenLP 1 database importer crashes when encountering control chars
+* Easy Worship importer progress bar is out
+* Cancelling character table dialogue in importer causes OpenLP to crash
+
+For the full list of the changes we've made see:
+https://launchpad.net/openlp/+milestone/2.0.2
+
+As usual, you can grab this release from the `download
+page </#download>`_. The Mac OS X version, torrents,
+portable versions and various Linux packages will be updated over the
+next week or so.
+
+A very big thanks to everybody who helped out, and thanks to you, our
+community, for your bug reports, giving support and helping others.
+
+    Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances;
+    for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

+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

+
+We're currently working on the Service Manager (what used to be called

+already have some initial bits to both of those working, but neither is
+complete yet.

+
+i just want to apologise for the silence. i've been extremely busy, and
+then suddenly, after i thought, "yay! i have a nice job, a steady
+income!" our boss's contract was terminated, and that meant that we were
+out of work (we were subcontracted). so now i sit again without work,
+looking at the freelancing scene, wondering if i can make it... there
+seems to be a bit of work at the moment, but i'm not sure...
+
+and this other freelance work that i have been doing has been keeping me
+up late nights and things... let me tell you, working 20 hours days is
+not funny :-(.
+
+well, i hope that now with a little more time on my hands i can perhaps
+get some more done on openlp.org...
+
+thanks for your patience!

+
+Nightly builds are created every day around 10pm GMT. These builds are
+created on Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) and should also work on Mac OS X 10.6
+(Snow Leopard). These builds include latest development changes in
+OpenLP. The latest test build is available on the download page.
+
+I would like to encourage Mac OS X users and testers to test OpenLP
+builds and report bugs periodically since we do not have a lot of Mac OS
+X developers and the support for Mac platform is not perfect.
+
+Happy testing and reporting!

+Hi folks,
+
+Derek and I had a chat a few weeks ago and have decided to release
+openlp.org Beta 5 on Friday. it's not going to have all the features and
+bug fixes we'd hoped for, but it should have the majority of
+show-stopper bugs patched. We've fixed a number of things in the CCLI
+SongSelect and also in the Video part. We've decided to postpone the
+localisation, since that's gonna take a little longer than expected, and
+I haven't had the time to work on it until recently.
+
+Also, like I've said before, we have done a feature-freeze. This is
+because if we DON'T we'll NEVER release version 1.0.
+
+God bless!

+Howzit Folks,
+
+Beta 6 is almost upon us. I'm just trying to find some time to finish
+off the last few things. Some of the bugs from beta 5 are gonna be
+carried over to beta 6, because we haven't been able to solve them yet.
+There are also a few more new features.
+
+Our next release is RC1 - the first release candidate. We're hoping to
+resolve the remaining bugs, and any new ones from beta 6 from now on.
+Please note that this also means that there will be **no more new
+features**. We have made our feature freeze final, and any new features
+will be added in version 1.1, the development version of 1.2, which will
+be commenced once we have released 1.0 final.
+
+I'm really excited to be bringing  out our first ever proper version of
+openlp.org, version 1.0. Thanks for sticking with us, and bearing with
+us on this long road to 1.0!

+Well, we're still working on beta 6. It's **almost** there... I
+implemented the internationalization, but to my dismay it's not working.
+I'm going to look into it further to see if I can work out what's wrong.
+So hopefully, if I can figure that out soon, we can have beta 6 out by
+the end of this week, next week the latest.
+
+Thanks also to a post in the forums, we think we might have solved the
+CCLI SongSelect login problem. We're gonna also be looking at fixing
+that this week. Derek has also managed to pick up another 2 bugs and has
+fixed one of them in the mean time.
+
+Like I think I mentioned in my previous blog post, we're going to RC1
+next release, so that's gonna call for intense testing. So get your
+testing gear out, and pile into beta 6 and RC1 when they are released.

+
+Please note that we have not yet managed to fix the CCLI SongSelect

+Some improvements have been added to build 1496 to change the way songs
+and custom slides are paged. A new feature has been added to allow a
+song verse to be split *IF* it does not all fit on one slide.
+
+If a line contains **[---]** then, if the slide does not fit on a single
+display, that is where the slide will automatically be split. This means
+that songs can be set up for different size themes with complete control
+over the paging. In addition the need for two slides containing "V1" etc
+has been removed. One slide one verse and the display code will split
+things correctly.
+
+For custom slides a minor change has been implemented. **[===]** is now
+the slide break if you use "Edit All" and **[---]** is the soft break.
+**This does not effect any saved custom items you have created.**
+
+The interfaces will be updated before beta2 to help with adding this
+tag.

+Hi folks,
+
+When we released openlp.org 1.0, we hinted at a bugfix release soon
+after, to clear up any bugs that were still in that release, and true to
+our word, we've been working on openlp.org 1.0.1. We got our testing
+team to mercilessly attempt to break openlp.org in a bid to find as many
+bugs as possible. And we got them...
+
+After a few rounds of test -> fix -> test -> fix, I think we're almost
+done, and I'm hoping to release openlp.org 1.0.1 in about 2 weeks time.
+
+After 1.0.1 we're going full steam ahead on version 1.1, the development
+version of 1.2. As we go along, we'll have a few releases (1.1.0, 1.1.1,
+1.1.2, etc) so that those who want to run a bleeding edge version of
+openlp.org can. For the rest of you who prefer stability and
+reliability, we would suggest you stick with 1.0.1 until 1.2 itself
+comes out.
+
+We've also had offers from another 2 folks to help us out with 1.1, and
+so we're looking forward to a slightly faster development pace, although
+we can't make any promises.
+
+That's all from us for the moment. In the mean time, click on the
+Ohloh.net button at the bottom of the left hand column of the site, and
+let the world know that you use openlp.org by signing up and "stacking"
+openlp.org!

+As some folks are aware, the release date of OpenLP 1.9.12 was pushed
+back two weeks. This is because we currently do not have enough people
+testing out OpenLP and fixing bugs.
+
+We Need Your Help
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+With the final release of OpenLP looming in October, we need as many
+people as possible testing out OpenLP and seeing how many new bugs we
+can find.
+
+We Need Bugs Found (and Fixed)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We already have a `list of known
+bugs <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp>`__, and would appreciate folks
+checking to see if they can reproduce those bugs, and filing more if
+bugs are encountered. Please note that missing functionality is not
+considered a bug.
+
+We Need a New Website
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+One of the other needs we have before we release OpenLP is a new website
+design. If you're a rocking web designer, we want to see your mock ups
+of the site!
+
+We Need a User Guide
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There is the `start of a user
+guide <https://code.launchpad.net/%7Eraoul-snyman/openlp/user-guide>`__
+available, but unfortunately it has been forgotten due to time
+constraints. If you'd like to try you hand at completing it, or least
+contributing toward it, that too would really help.

+The conflict merge went well last week, and I have a working copy of
+openlp.org again. I've started the code cleanup, renaming various
+components in the code, formatting the code to follow a certain standard
+(rather than 3 different ones), and rearranging a few things as well in
+the process. The goal behind the code cleanup is to make it easier and
+faster to work on openlp.org, and to make openlp.org more efficient.
+
+What this all translates to at the end of the day is that you as the
+user will find openlp.org faster and more efficient, and when we need to
+make a change or an enhancement, it'll be faster too.
+
+Once I've completed the code cleanup, I'm going to continue with my
+rewrite of the control component, which will enable us to do things like
+use the up and down cursor keys to change between slides.
+
+On that note, I know a number of folks have asked me for the components
+so that they can make changes to openlp.org (I presume it's because
+development is not happening fast enough for them, and they want certain
+features for their church). Please chat with me and consider lending a
+helping hand with the development. If you want feature A, I'm sure that
+there are a number of other churches who also want feature A, and it
+would be beneficial to them if you contributed that back to the project.
+There are also a number of things you can and can't do with the current
+codebase, and unless you chat with me and ask, you won't know and you'll
+struggle unnecessarily (for instance, using the up and down cursor key
+will only be possible after a rewrite of the control component).
+
+In short, if you contribute back to openlp.org, not only do you benefit,
+but others will too. You won't need to make changes to your version each
+time a new version of openlp.org comes out, development will happen
+faster, and others will benefit from your changes as well.

+
+So, we've been developing openlp.org for a few years now, but to be
+honest, I've never looked at the commercial offerings. I know about
+them, and I know that most people seem to hear of them first, but I've
+never actually installed them and tried them out.
+
+So last night I installed 4 applications:
+
+-  EasyWorship
+-  SongShow Plus
+-  SongPro
+-  Sunday Plus
+
+I basically just installed everything, and then opened each program and
+tried to figure out how to use it without looking in a manual.
+
+Installation
+
+Apart from SongShow Plus, the applications installed in apretty straight
+forward manner. SongShow Plus, however, was a nightmare. It has a whole
+bunch of "components" which you can choose to install, only each and
+every component is an installer in and of itself. This means, that with
+a default install (pre-selected components), you install 26 components,
+and you have to click buttons on each installer a minimum of 3 times...
+that's a minimum of 78 clicks! It took about 15 minutes to install
+SongShow Plus, thanks to all their installers. I was not impressed with
+SongShow Plus after that.
+
+First Impressions EasyWorship
+
+If you wanted to say that openlp.org copied someone's interface, it
+would be EasyWorship's. Of all the applications, EasyWorship's interface
+is the most like openlp.org's. For me it was simple and easy to see what
+to do and how to do it. EasyWorship is also written in Delphi, like
+openlp.org, but it uses the archaic Borland Database Engine.
+
+SongShow Plus
+
+SongShow Plus has a very flashy interface, with a silver look and little
+effects here and there. However, as my wife pointed out, all the icons
+look the same. It's interface is somewhat similar to openlp.org and
+EasyWorship, but not quite as intuitive.
+
+SongPro
+
+Eyesore. That was my first impression of SongPro. It doesn't look good.
+The backgrounds of the text boxes are turquoise or yelow, and I couldn't
+initially figure out how to put together an order of service. The
+buttons are all too big, there's too much whitespace around certain
+elements, and it really looks like it was hastily put together with no
+regard for how it looks.
+
+Sunday Plus
+
+Bizarre, just plain bizarre. When you open Sunday Plus, it shows you  a
+small window in the middle of your screen that looks more like a
+calculator than anything else. From there I was absolutely baffled as to
+what to do. How do you set up an order of service? How do you
+add/edit/delete songs? I couldn't figure out how to use Sunday Plus
+after 5 minutes, so I just decided to leave it.
+
+Some Thoughts
+
+Features are not king. If you application doesn't look good, and isn't
+easy enough to figure out how to use, then people will not be impressed
+with it. From what I've read in forums on the Internet, a lot of people
+like EasyWorship because of it's smart, not too simple but not too
+complicated, and easy to use interface.
+
+I think it's important to have a decent set of features, but it's more
+important that your interface looks good (but not flashy) and that your
+program is easy to use, without having to read the manual.
+
+Comments
+
+If you think I'm right or wrong or missing something or overlooking
+something, please leave a comment.

+
+In the last few weeks code has been added to run Impress presentations

+
+Over the years people have asked us about financial contributions and donations to the project. OpenLP, like many other
+open source projects, is largely funded by open source project sites (SourceForge.net, etc), donated resources, or (in
+some cases) the developers themselves. Until recently, this has meant that donations have mostly been unnecessary.
+
+After some upheaval in the open source community recently, we decided to start building our own server infrastructure
+around the project to reduce our reliance on third parties who can exercise control over our digital assets. This
+means that OpenLP is now in charge of funding our own servers, bandwidth, build tools and other things.
+
+Now that we are funding a lot more ourselves, we've decided to accept donations from folks. You can either give us a
+once-off donation, or you can donate on a regular basis (automatically), or you can buy swag (t-shirts, mugs, caps,
+stickers and more). Take a look at our `Donate`_ page for more information on where and how to donate.

+Well, as you have probably already read in one of Raoul's recent blog's,
+we are planning a big launch for the V1.0 release of OpenLP.org.  With
+that in mind, we have decided to add a few of the smaller but more
+useful features from the feature request list.  This comes with the
+price of a slightly delayed V1.0, and possibly a few more Release
+Candidate versions.  Our feeling though was that there really were some
+area's that needed enhancing prior to a major distribution release. You
+can look forward to the following enhancements coming in the next few
+release candidates:
+
+* Enhanced Bible Verse handing where you can display multiple verses on one slide
+* Some keyboard navigation (actually I think it's in RC2 already)
+* Enhanced slide auto-scrolling
+* Import/Export of themes
+* Storage of theme data exclusively in the 'theme' directory in XML format
+
+There may be 1 or 2 other things, but these are the main ones as we
+didn't want to impact our timeline too much.
+
+God Bless,
+
+Derek

+Hi to all since this is my first blog entry since joining this project
+as part of the development team, and thanks to Raoul for his guidance
+and support.
+
+As you know by now, we have frozen the featureset for the current
+version of OpenLP.org which we are trying hard to get into a v1 release
+as soon as possible.  There have been some great idea's from you guys,
+and we are keeping them all on record for after the v1 release.  We are
+even putting some of our own idea's on the back burner for now.
+
+So...what's next. Well, there are 4 main issues on the table for the
+next, and hopefully last, beta release (beta5). These are:
+
+| 1) The translation feature
+| 2) Fixing the CCLI SongSelect
+| 3) Putting back the song theme assignment
+| 4) Getting the video working
+
+With regard to the Video feature, there is a possible workaround which I
+am using successfully at the moment.  If you have a relatively recent
+nVidia display card, there is a setting for "Full screen video".  If you
+set the "Full screen device" to "auto-select", the card automatically
+routes the video to the second display.  I had this setting unknowingly
+set on my development machine and couldn't figure out why video wasn't
+working on other machines.  Anyway, you can try this workaround and see
+if it works for you.
+
+I'm sure you are all eager to know when to expect the next beta.  Raoul
+and I have had a chat and we are planning it for early in the New Year. 
+I know that sounds a bit vague, but the translation feature is an
+immense amount of work and the video is a bit tricky since we are not
+DirectX experts.
+
+Well, that's how things stand at the moment.  We appreciate all the
+comments and feedback.
+
+God bless,
+
+Derek.

+
+One of the things I have been wanting to do is to extract the

+were. To this end, I extracted the documentation in XML format, and I'm
+writing a little editor that will be able to parse the XML and allow you
+to edit the pages of the documentation using a WYSIWYG HTML editor
+(currently it can do all of that, it just can't save).
+
+So, if you're still interested in helping out with the documentation,
+you think you can spare an hour a week perhaps, then please contact me,
+and I'll give you stuff to do!

+Many churches use CCLI for licensing their music. It's the easy way to

+
+The next time you have to fill in that questionnaire, don't forget to

+Yes, you read that right, it's the end of OpenLP 2.0.
+
+No, we're not stopping development. No, 2.2 is still going to be released later in the year. No, OpenLP the project is not coming to a close, don't worry.
+
+We're happy to announce the release of OpenLP 2.0.5, "Proselyte Paulus." This will be the last release in the 2.0 series of OpenLP.
+
+Bugs fixed in this final release:
+
+* Change to BibleGateway URL to use legacy web interface
+* Improve PowerPoint Error handling and improve handling for v2013
+* Powerpoint with video on first slide causes error
+* Issues with Themes when comparing theme files
+* Improved error messages with Easy Worship Song Imports
+* Allow more than 26 equal verses within a Song
+* Handle songs where two optional breaks follow each other
+* Improve Database update error handling
+
+As per usual, you can find the release on the `Download`_ page. If 2.0.5 isn't available for you, please try again in a day or two, some of the packages take a little while to be processed.
+
+The next release of OpenLP will be version 2.1.1, which will be the first beta version of OpenLP 2.2.
+
+    Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

+"Enflaming Elijah". We've been working hard on getting a lot of things

+
+So far we are on track to release 1.9.6 on the 26th of June, as per our

+
+Some key features/enhancements in the upcoming version:
+
+-  Faster startup times on Windows
+-  Translation of everything (hopefully!), including all menu items,
+   buttons on wizards and dialogs, and even the web remote.
+-  Improved language support for Bibles
+
+Thanks to everyone who has helped us so far.

+A few days ago another open source church worship project called
+`ExpoSong <http://exposong.org/>`_ had to `shut
+down <http://exposong.org/2014/01/08/eol-announcement/>`_. It seems to
+me that they had a very small development team and were unable to
+continue developing their software. ExpoSong's last release was over 2
+years ago, in December 2011, and I can only presume they took a rain
+check as 2014 came round and decided to officially stop the project
+rather than leave it hanging.
+
+It's very sad when an open source project has to shut down, but I can
+completely understand their position. Without time or resources to
+continue development, it is better to officially stop development rather
+than leave it open in the dwindling hopes that someone may have the time
+to continue at a later stage.
+
+For those of you who have come from ExpoSong, I have put together a
+step-by-step guide below to show you how to easily export all your songs
+from ExpoSong and import them all into OpenLP.
+
+Exporting Songs from ExpoSong and Importing Into OpenLP
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+First, in ExpoSong, click on **File > Export > Whole Library**.
+
+|Export songs from ExpoSong|
+
+Then select where you want to save your library file to.
+
+|Select Location|
+
+Once you have saved your file, open your file browser and navigate to
+where the file is.
+
+|Find exported file|
+
+Select the file and rename its extension from ".expo" to ".tar.gz"
+
+|Change File Extension|
+
+Now you should have a "tarball" in your directory.
+
+|Tarball|
+
+Using an archive program (Windows users can use
+`7-zip <http://www.7-zip.org/>`_, unzipping should be built in on Linux
+and OS X), extract the contents of the "tarball".
+
+|Extracted Archive|
+
+If you enter into the extracted "pres" directory, you should see all of
+your songs stored as ".xml" files.
+
+|Song Files|
+
+Now go into OpenLP, select **File > Import > Songs** and when you get to
+the Song Format page of the Import Wizard, select OpenLyrics. Then use
+the "Add Files" button to find the files you just extracted and add them
+to be imported.
+
+|Import into OpenLP|
+
+Follow the rest of the prompts in the wizard to finish importing your
+files.

+
+In just over a weeks time, the OpenLP `facebook
+page <http://facebook.com/openlp>`__ will be switched over to the new
+Timeline view. The new view gives us the opportunity to add a cover
+image to go along the top of the page, and this is where we would like
+your help...
+
+Ideally we would like to use a picture of OpenLP being used, with a full
+worshipping congregation and both the operators screen and the projector
+screen in view. For example a long time ago when v1 was just being born
+and monitors were still the size of a small car, the photo on the right
+was taken. We would like to bring it up to date..
+
+As always, there are a few restrictions. This makes it significantly
+harder, but we might accept an image close to the mark:
+
+#. We would like to see a view of a recent v2 version, with close to the
+   default layout.
+#. Any lyrics on the screen ideally in the Public Domain, if possible.
+   Although Scripture will be fine too. English would be preferable.
+#. A fairly full looking congregation, who don't look like they are
+   bored ;)
+#. The trickiest bit.. the image has to be an unstretched 851x315
+   resolution.
+#. In focus ;) and not too dark.
+#. Note that facebook displays the OpenLP logo over part of the bottom
+   left of the image
+#. Oh and full permission for OpenLP to use the picture, although you'll
+   retain the copyright.
+
+Also if you have other ideas for a type of image we could use, then
+please share them in the comments too.
+
+You can post images to our facebook wall or use an image sharing site
+such as `imgur <http://imgur.com>`__ and post the links below.
+
+*Disclaimer: We don't guarantee we'll use your photo as the cover even
+if it the only one created and has a 1000 likes. Therefore we don't
+recommend you spend 3 solid days setting up the perfect shot, and going
+out to buy the latest Canon or Nikon DSLR just to take this picture!
+Raoul has the final word.*
+
+We look forward to seeing your photos :)

+We have finally had some time to sift through the responses to the
+survey, and below I present to you the summary of the survey. There are
+some pretty graphs (for those who like graphs) and we've included the
+percentages of multiple choice questions. Note that due to most of the
+questions allowing more than one answer, the sum of the percentages will
+exceed 100%.
+
+And so, without further ado, here are the results:
+
+How did you originally hear about OpenLP?

+
+What do you love about OpenLP?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For this question, we had to manually work through everyone's responses,
+and pick out the most common themes. These are the top 5 themes we
+noticed, in order of most-mentioned to least-mentioned.
+
+#. Free/open source
+#. Ease of use/usability/simplicity
+#. Feature set
+#. Developers/development/community
+#. Cross platform
+
+There were also a number of enthusiastic users of the remote and/or
+Android app.
+
+We also noticed that some folk thought that OpenLP is donateware. It is
+not, we haven't publically accepted donations for a few reasons, mostly
+that we don't see the need. If you *would* like to donate, please
+`e-mail us (contact form) <http://openlp.org/support/email-us>`_.
+
+What do you dislike about OpenLP?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Once again, we had to manually work through everyone's responses, and
+pick out the most common themes. These are the top 5 themes we noticed,
+in order of most-mentioned to least-mentioned.
+
+#. Bugs and/or crashes
+#. Video issues
+#. Presentation issues (PowerPoint, Impress, etc)
+#. Speed issues
+#. Unfamiliarity with OpenLP
+
+We noticed that there were a large number of bugs that we've never heard
+of. If you do encounter a bug, please let us know! We can't fix it if we
+don't know about it.
+
+There were also a lot of "missing feature" complaints, which were almost
+all already in the list of features we're looking to implement, and thus
+we did not include them in these results.
+
+Helping with development
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We couldn't help but notice that a few of the respondents indicated a
+willingness to help develop OpenLP in some way. If you're keen to take a
+look at helping out, please see our `getting
+started <http://wiki.openlp.org/#Development>`_ page on the developer
+wiki and `join us in IRC <http://openlp.org/support/live-chat-irc>`_ so
+that we can help you get up and running.
+
+As always, God bless, and happy projecting!

+
+As with any piece of software, OpenLP is not bug-free. Sadly, in this particular case we didn't pick up some pretty major bugs until just after the release of 2.2.
+
+In this release we have only fixed the most glaring bugs. These are the showstoppers that prevented people from actually using OpenLP. There will be more releases as time goes on to fix other, smaller, bugs.
+
+Bugs fixed in this release:
+
+- The German, Estonian and Chinese (Taiwan) translations caused OpenLP to crash on startup
+- Error when VLC is not installed on Linux
+- OpenLP on Windows unable to detect VLC
+- ZionWorks import fails in OpenLP 2.2
+
+You can grab this bugfix from the Downloads section on our site.

+
+Hello folks,
+
+We are happy to announce the release of our **first beta** aka *Maverick
+Micah*. We have put a lot of effort into this release, squashing bugs,
+adding new features, and enhancing existing features, to make this the
+best release yet.
+
+We're really excited about this release, because it marks the changeover
+from version 1.2 to version 2.0. You see, from now on, we will only
+really be supporting version 2. It is much less work to support version
+2.0, and we feel that version 2.0 is at a point now where it can go into
+mainstream use. We will still support version 1.2, but there won't be
+any more bug fixing or releases of that version.
+
+If you have not used OpenLP before, we recommend you use this new beta
+release, rather than version 1.2.
+
+A number of people have already been using the alpha versions in their
+church services, and have been extremely happy with the stability of
+those releases. While we can't guarantee 100% stability, we feel that
+OpenLP 2.0 is stable enough to be used in your church services.
+
+Some of the new features and improvements:
+
+-  A *First Time Wizard* which will help you to do the basic
+   configuration and allows you to import sample songs, Bibles and
+   themes.
+-  Additional song imports: EasiSlides, Folipresenter, SongShow Plus
+-  In addition we added OpenLyrics import and export support, which
+   allows you to easily transfer songs between different OpenLP
+   installations. OpenLyrics is an independent standard, built to
+   facilitate interoperability between various presentation
+   applications.
+-  The ability to print *Service Order Sheets* (File → Print Service
+   Order)
+-  Define your own *Display Tags* to format slides individually
+-  Better media support
+-  A reference manual (very much a work in progress though!)
+
+Other improvements and bug fixes:
+
+-  An improved song search
+-  General usability improvements
+-  New search box for Bibles (just like the new search box for songs in
+   the previous release)
+-  A revamped web interface
+-  Many bugfixes
+
+Important note: Service files created in a previous release of OpenLP
+are not compatible with OpenLP 1.9.5
+
+Finally, the downloads links:
+
+-  Windows (XP and up, 32 and 64 bit)
+-  Mac OS X (10.5 and up)
+-  Linux
+
+   -  Ubuntu/Kubuntu/XUbuntu (Release PPA)
+   -  Fedora (Updates)
+   -  Arch (Arch User Repositories)
+
+See the download page for more distributions and operating systems.
+
+Don't forget to Like the OpenLP page on Facebook, retweet OpenLP's
+tweets, and tell everyone you know about OpenLP!
+
+**If you have any problems setting up or using OpenLP, please read the
+new manual as well as the Frequently Asked Questions.**
+
+    1"Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in
+    me. 2In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I
+    have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? 3And if I go and
+    prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to
+    myself, that where I am you may be also. 4And you know the way to
+    where I am going." 5Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where
+    you are going. How can we know the way?" 6Jesus said to him, "I am
+    the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father
+    except through me. 7If you had known me, you would have known my
+    Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him."
+
+    8Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for
+    us." 9Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you
+    still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the
+    Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10Do you not believe
+    that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I
+    say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who
+    dwells in me does his works. 11Believe me that I am in the Father
+    and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works
+    themselves.
+
+    12"Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do
+    the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do,
+    because I am going to the Father. 13Whatever you ask in my name,
+    this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14If
+    you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
+
+    15"If you love me, you will keep my commandments. 16And I will ask
+    the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you
+    forever, 17even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive,
+    because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he
+    dwells with you and will be in you.
+
+    18"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19Yet a
+    little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me.
+    Because I live, you also will live. 20In that day you will know that
+    I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21Whoever has my
+    commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves
+    me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest
+    myself to him." 22Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it
+    that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?"
+    23Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and
+    my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home
+    with him. 24Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the
+    word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.
+
+    25"These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you.
+    26But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my
+    name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all
+    that I have said to you. 27Peace I leave with you; my peace I give
+    to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts
+    be troubled, neither let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you,
+    'I am going away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you
+    would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the
+    Father is greater than I. 29And now I have told you before it takes
+    place, so that when it does take place you may believe. 30I will no
+    longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He
+    has no claim on me, 31but I do as the Father has commanded me, so
+    that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from
+    here.
+
+    John 14 (English Standard Version)

+For the next release due at the end of the month a "First Time Wizard"
+has been developed to help set up a new environment.
+
+This will allow a user to:
+
+-  Choose which plugins they want activated
+-  Download Songs, Bibles and Themes from the web
+-  Set up the Initial display screen and the default theme.
+
+As a number of users already have a working setup they will still need
+to run this wizard.  In most cases this will allow them to add
+additional bibles and themes BUT it may change their plugin settings and
+if they choose to download the songs it ***will overwrite their current
+songs database***.
+
+The default option is not to download any Songs, Bibles or Themes.
+
+This Wizard has be added to the code base.

+Revision 956 commits code to change the database schema for the way song
+information is stored.  This is to fix a previous oversight with
+alternative titles (they work and are stored correctly now) and to add
+the ability to link media files to songs.
+
+When updating to this or any later revision **your old database will
+crash OpenLP**.  To prevent this from happening:
+
+-  Move or rename your existing database (in ~/.openlp/data/songs or
+   ~/.local/share/openlp/songs on Linux or
+   %APPDATA%\\openlp\\data\\songs on Windows)
+-  Open OpenLP to automatically create a database with the new schema
+-  Import your old data by selecting  File -> Import -> OpenLP v2 Songs 
+   from the menu in the top left of OpenLP
+-  Find your old database and click Open
+-  Your data will be imported.  **This may take a while with no visible
+   progress feedback.**
+-  When the import is finished a message box will say this is the case.
+
+Being able to play tracks with songs is one of the few remaining version
+1 features left to implement in version 2 and this change allows us to
+start building that feature.

+Hi folks,
+
+In order to make our forums a little easier to use, we've consolidated
+our 5 groups and 13 forums into 2 groups and 7 forums. The
+language-specific forums have remained the same, so if you speak German,
+French, Spanish, or Portuguese, you can post your queries in those
+forums.
+
+The big changes come in the rest of the forums. We used to have a
+multitude of sections and forums, and in order to make the forums easier
+to use, and easier to figure out where the best place to post your query
+is, we have slimmed it down to 3 categories:
+
+-  General Discussion
+   This is where you can discuss more general topics, like problems with
+   the web site, or where to get Bibles, and other things that don't fit
+   in either of the other two forums.
+-  Troubleshooting
+   If you're having general problems getting OpenLP running, this is the
+   place to find help. If you think you've encountered a bug, but you're
+   not getting an actual error, you should post in here too. Please note
+   that since most of the developers use Linux, most operating system
+   specific queries cannot necessarily be answered.
+-  Development
+   Bug reports, feature requests, offers of help, and other
+   development-related topics can be posted in here.
+
+This is another change we're making in order to optimise the site,
+hopefully making the site almost as easy to use as OpenLP is

+|The Future|
+
+In preparation for some changes that we have made in the next major
+version of OpenLP we had to make a change in the last release (2.0.2) in
+the way that service files are saved. With OpenLP 2.0.2 and higher, you
+will still be able to read your old service files, but earlier versions
+of OpenLP will not be able to open files created in later versions of
+OpenLP.
+
+For example, OpenLP 2.0.2 will be able to open services files saved in
+OpenLP 2.0.1, but OpenLP 2.0.1 will not be able to open services files
+saved in OpenLP 2.0.2.
+
+Unfortunately a bug was introduced preventing services that had notes in
+them from being saved. We have already fixed this and plan to make a
+release (2.0.3) to address this issue in the near future. If you wish to
+use notes we suggest that you do not upgrade to 2.0.2.
+
+We thank you for your patience in this matter and apoligise for this
+bug. Steps are being taken including automated testing in 2.2 to reduce
+the chances of bugs like these slipping in the future.

+|Gearing Up For OpenLP 2.0|
+
+Those who hang around here regularly will know that we plan to release
+the final version of OpenLP 2.0 at the end of October. As one can
+imagine, with such a momentous release we'd like to make a big noise
+about it. Because OpenLP is open source, it is primarily driven by its
+users, whether they are developers, or just folks that hang out in the
+forums and want to help out in whatever way they can. With the upcoming
+release of version 2.0, we are going to need lots of help from YOU.
+Here's how you can help:
+
+Web Site
+~~~~~~~~
+
+We are in the process of completely rethinking the web site and making
+it more product-centric. We want to include some new elements in the
+site that we haven't relied on in our marketing previously.
+
+One of the things we want to display on the new site are testimonials
+from users of OpenLP. If you use OpenLP, and like it, please either post
+your testimonial in the forums or e-mail it to support (at) openlp.org
+and we'll include it on the new site. Be genuine in your testimonial,
+mentioning what you like about OpenLP and why you use it. Don't be too
+shy of pointing out one or two things that currently irritate you about
+OpenLP, honest testimonials give a far better reflection than purely
+positive ones.
+
+To be completely honest with you, hearing of a megachurch using OpenLP
+does far more for OpenLP's reputation than a small church. We will
+display all testimonials with equal status regardless of the church
+size, but we'd love to have some from the bigger churches out there.
+
+We also want to show off photographs of OpenLP in action. If you have a
+high quality photograph of OpenLP in use in your church, we'd like to
+use it on the site. We have a couple on our Facebook page, but we want
+more and we want better ones. The minimum requirements for photographs
+are 5 megapixels on a proper digital camera, not a mobile/cellular
+phone. These too can be e-mailed to us at the address listed above.
+
+Please be aware that not all testimonials and/or photographs will
+necessarily be accepted. We are looking for top quality content for our
+site, and if yours doesn't make the grade we won't include it. If you
+really want yours included, contact us and find out why it was not
+accepted, and we can work with you to bring it up to the inclusion
+standard.
+
+User Guide
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+|OpenLP User Guide|
+
+We're still looking for people to write and/or translate the user guide.
+It is already laid out, it just needs content. You don't need to be a
+developer to write it, we will help you get set up. The user guide uses
+a formatting system called reStructuredText, in a similar vein to
+Markdown or wiki formatting.
+
+If you'd like to help out, please contact us at that same e-mail
+address, or via the `contact
+page <http://openlp.org/en/contact-us/support>`_, and we'll get you up
+and running in no time at all.
+
+Fixing Bugs
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+|Bug Fixing|
+
+Of course we're still fixing bugs in OpenLP. If you come across any,
+please make sure to e-mail a full bug report to bugs (at) openlp.org.
+
+If you encounter the error window, you ***MUST*** either use the
+**E-mail** button to e-mail us directly, or use the **Save** button to
+save the report to a file, and then send us that file. If you just send
+us an e-mail saying that an error occurred, we can't help you, or figure
+out what the bug is. The information in that error window is vital.
+
+If you try to do something and it doesn't work, but it doesn't show the
+error window, please make sure you can reproduce the bug (can you do it
+again and again?) and list in as much detail as possible the steps you
+took to reproduce it. Also include which version of OpenLP, which
+operating system and its version, your distro and your desktop
+environment if you're using Linux, your graphics card, and any other
+information you think is important. For example:
+
+    Action Performed: I tried to add a new theme.
+
+    Expected Result: A new theme listed in the theme manager.
+
+    Actual Result: After running through the Theme Wizard successfully,
+    my new theme did not appear in the theme manager. It did appear
+    after restarting OpenLP though.
+
+    Steps to Reproduce:
+
+    #. Click on the New Theme button in the Theme Manager.
+    #. Run through the creation process, selecting any combination -
+       this bug affects all of them.
+    #. At the end of the process, click the finish button.
+    #. Notice that the new theme is not visible in the Theme Mananger.
+    #. Restart OpenLP and see the new theme.
+
+    Computer Details: Kubuntu Linux 12.10 (beta), LibreOffice 3.6,
+    nVidia GeForce 5600, VLC 2.03
+
+Before you submit a bug report, please search through our existing bug
+reports and make sure you're not reporting one that already exists.
+Additionally, we need to be able to reproduce your bug before we'll add
+it to that list, so your bug may not show up for a day or two. Relax, as
+long as you sent it to bugs (at) openlp.org, we have it and are looking
+into it.
+
+Tutorials
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+|OpenLP Tutorials|
+
+We are also still looking for more tutorials for how to use OpenLP. If
+you've written a blog post, we'd love to link to it. If you've recorded
+a screen cast, let us know so that we can include it in our playlist on
+YouTube. If you've written up a PDF or some other document, we have
+plenty of space to host it - e-mail it to us and we'll put it up.
+
+If you have any other bright ideas on how to show people how to use
+OpenLP, we're very much open to them!
+
+Marketing
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+|Blog About It|
+
+Lastly, we need to generate buzz! If you have a blog, please blog about
+us. If your church has a web site, see if you can link back to our site.
+If you have a podcast or a vodcast, please feature us - we welcome
+interviews! Of course you can also find us on all the big social
+networks, like `Facebook <https://www.facebook.com/openlp>`_,
+`Twitter <http://twitter.com/openlp>`_,
+`YouTube <http://www.youtube.com/openlpvideos>`_ and
+`Google+ <https://plus.google.com/b/117120749304988900189/117120749304988900189>`_.
+
+We'll be releasing a press kit in a few days with helpful information
+and useful buttons and icons for people to use on their web sites and in
+their blog posts.
+
+Any Other Help
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you think you can help us in another way not listed here, please
+contact us and let us know your ideas - we're always open to more ideas.

+I've been formulating a professional e-mail to some of the Christian
+bookstore chains here in South Africa, and I decided to make it
+available to the openlp.org community. This letter basically just talks
+about what openlp.org is, what open source software is, and why we want
+them to distribute it.
+
+I've created a forum topic with the letter in it, and I encourage you to
+look at the letter, translate it into your language, and decide amongst
+yourselves who should be the "openlp.org representative" for your
+country. Just remember to keep it sounding professional.
+
+Derek and I have been looking at how much it will cost to print labels
+for CDs and give those CDs away. We came to roughly 1 US dollar per CD.
+This isn't a lot, and you're welcome to investigate doing this yourself.
+I'll post CD labels and other packaging and promotional things later, so
+that you can print out and use these things. So if your letter is
+successful, you'll be able to download official openlp.org labels and
+print them out, and give the bookstores professional looking CDs.
+
+But don't stop there. Why not print out more labels and CDs and hand
+them out to folks from other Churches that you might know, so that they
+can also benefit from open source software?

+   So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,  as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

+**Update:** The Windows builds are now available on the `Download`_ page.
+
+Another step closer to version 2.2, today we have released version 2.1.5, the second release candidate. This release comes with 7 known bugfixes  as well as a few of other fixes.
+
+The PowerPoint integration has recieved a lot of attention and we hope some of the quirks has been fixed. Thanks go to the OpenLP community for quick feedback while testing the changes.

+Well, it's 2 days before the release of openlp.org 1.0, and I am proud
+to say that we have almost all the issues resolved. It was a bit
+touch-and-go earlier, with a few of the bugs being potential
+show-stoppers, and with solutions seeming to be unavailable, but
+fortunately we have managed to either fix them or work around them.
+
+The one thing that unfortunately is NOT complete is the user guide,
+otherwise known as the documentation. We'll be releasing with what we
+have so far, and after the release, we'll work on the documentation, and
+release 1.0.1 with the complete documentation. There is enough in the
+documentation for the user to be able to get to know how to use
+openlp.org, so it's not a big deal.
+
+For those who don't know, Hannah and I have also been moving these last
+two weeks, so things have been really hectic. I'm really grateful to
+Derek and Jonathan Corwin for stepping in and taking up any extra slack
+when I've not been able to get work done on openlp.org.
+
+Derek and I have also been investigating getting CDs printed. This is a
+slightly expensive affair, as you no doubt can imagine, but if there is
+enough interest, we'd like to pursue that option. I'm thinking of doing
+something similar to Ubuntu's Shipit, except that we don't have the
+millions that Mark Shuttleworth has, so we'd be asking you to pay for CD
+production and shipping costs. Of course, buying in bulk reduces the
+cost of the CDs, and in a minor way, the cost of the shipping too.
+
+And lastly, don't forget to subscribe to the openlp.org newsletter! This
+is where we'll announce new releases and important events. Don't worry,
+we won't spam you, and you won't get lots of mail.

+This evening I merged the bugfixes from openlp.org 1.0.1 into the main
+code. My next move will be to clean up the conflicts that arose in the
+merge (the version control software can't always do a perfect merge, so
+it lets me "resolve" some of those "conflicts"). Once I've done that,
+I'll be continuing with the code cleanup that is necessary to implement
+some of the more advanced things.
+
+The next step, after the cleanup, will be to rewrite the control
+component, which will allow a large number of usability improvements
+(like pressing the down key to go to the next slide!). Once I've done
+that, I'll start migrating the songs to the new database format
+necessary to add more features requested (like verse ordering). These
+first 3 things are the biggest changes, and once they're done, we will
+most probably start releasing development versions of openlp.org 1.1
+(which will become 1.2).
+
+I'm looking forward to a number of the improvements being introduced,
+and I hope you'll bear with me while they are being worked on. Thanks to
+all the folks who have posted feature requests, they have been noted,
+and will be sorted into various categories and decided upon once I've
+finished the code cleanup.

+e-mails about the components, please just drop me yet another mail - my
+e-mail is in a bit of a state of flux at the moment, and I can't access

+
+Videos are a great way to enhance the worship experience. Sermon
+illustrations, home grown videos for announcements before or after a
+service, showing videos to help set a “mood” of worship before a service
+starts or through a multitude of other creative ways, videos can be
+effective tools for worship. OpenLP has the ability to play videos as
+part of the service using the
+`Media <http://manual.openlp.org/mediamanager.html#media>`_ tab. You
+simply add your video, or audio to OpenLP then use it as you do a song
+or Bible verses in your service. Easy.
+
+If this works for you, don’t read any further, but what if you set up
+OpenLP and videos do not perform correctly? Actually, if videos work for
+you keep on reading anyway you might still need this someday. We are
+going to walk through a sure fire way of getting videos working in
+OpenLP without a lot of work.
+
+First, lets look at how OpenLP plays videos. OpenLP uses resources
+already installed on your computer to play videos. That is enough
+detail, if you want to do an in-depth look at audio and video codecs by
+all means please do but just understand in theory if your computer will
+play a file, OpenLP “should” play this file also. Theories are great,
+but as with many this theory fails many times in practice. In the past
+the solution was to install codec packs and do a variety of other rather
+hackish things with hopes that videos would work. This is no longer the
+case, thanks to another open source project
+`VLC <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html>`_ paired with OpenLP 2.0.
+
+If you have not heard of
+`VLC <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html>`_ lets just put it this
+way it is the premier media player, regardless of operating system. If
+`VLC <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html>`_ won’t play your file,
+stop, nothing will play your file. That may not be entirely the case,
+but chances are if
+`VLC <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html>`_ won’t play it nothing
+will. So what does this have to do with OpenLP you ask? Remember OpenLP
+uses resources on your computer to play videos and with
+`VLC <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html>`_ installed OpenLP can
+use this most awesome media player to take care of all of your media
+problems.
+
+The first step is to download
+`VLC <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html>`_ from
+`HERE <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html>`_. If you are running a
+Linux distro it should be available using your distro’s package manager.
+You will need version 2.0.3 or above to work correctly. Once you have
+`VLC <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html>`_ installed we are just
+about finished.
+
+Now we need to tell OpenLP to use
+`VLC <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html>`_ to play all media.
+Don’t worry you won’t regret this and if you do you can always change
+this setting back. Go to Settings, then click on Configure OpenLP. You
+should now be greeted by a window that looks similar to this:
+
+|Configure OpenLP|
+
+Click on Media on the left hand panel to enter the media settings. You
+should see a list of available media players. Click on the check box to
+enable `VLC <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html>`_. In the player
+order box, click on VLC and use the up arrow to promote it to the top of
+the list. You can also disable all the other media players if you wish.
+If you check the “Allow media player to be overridden” check box you can
+change the player on the fly from the
+`Media <http://manual.openlp.org/mediamanager.html#media>`_ tab in the
+`Media
+Manager <http://manual.openlp.org/glossary.html#g-media-manager>`_.
+This is a good option for some users, but really if you are using VLC
+you shouldn’t need to do this.
+
+|Media Configuration|
+
+That is it, you should now be able to play about any video you will ever
+get your hands on.
+
+ 
+
+**Note:** If you install
+`VLC <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html>`_ while OpenLP is running
+you will need to restart OpenLP after installing
+`VLC <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html>`_.

+Looking back over the past year, OpenLP has had quite an eventful year.
+In 2011 we had the last two releases of openlp.org 1.2.x, had five
+releases of OpenLP 2.0 (1.9.x), we moved from alpha releases to beta
+releases, and we end-of-life'd openlp.org 1.x. Not only that, OpenLP
+even has an Android app!
+
+Both as an application, and as a project, OpenLP has gone from strength
+to strength during 2011. Since the first beta release (version 1.9.5) we
+have had over 80,000 downloads, and the new manual has seen steady
+improvement since it was first put together. There have been a number of
+favourable reviews of OpenLP, and we've seen people talking about OpenLP
+more on the Internet this year. The OpenLP site has also seen almost
+150,000 visitors this year.
+
+This coming year promises to be even bigger and better. While we don't
+have a fixed release date for OpenLP 2.0, the general feeling is that it
+will likely be toward the end of 2012. This means that lots of bug
+fixing lies ahead of us, we'd like to get things like translations and
+the manual complete, and look at revamping the web site for the final
+release too.
+
+Often we make New Years resolutions but in 2 Corinthians 13:5, Paul
+tells us:
+
+    Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test
+    yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus
+    Christ is in you? - unless indeed you fail to meet the test!"
+
+    2 Corinthians 13:5, ESV
+
+A careful self-evaluation is often insightful and motivating, especially
+for Christians working on their New Year’s resolutions. As we kick off
+the new year, take time to examine you faith and confirm your commitment
+to Christ, reflecting on what He has done for you this past year, and
+thinking of what you can do in the coming year to strengthen your faith
+and deepen your relationship with Him.
+
+In short, the OpenLP team wishes you a blessed and fruitful new year.
+
+PS: Don't forget to upgrade OpenLP to version 1.9.8.

+
+Before I kick off the main gist of this post, I'd just like to announce that OpenLP 2.0.3
+has finally made it to our `Ubuntu PPA <http://launchpad.net/~openlp-core/+archive/release>`_.
+
+Unfortunately I was having computer hardware issues and I wasn't able
+to get the build process set up until a few days ago. I've remedied this
+problem by setting up the build process on our Continuous Integration
+server such that anyone can build packages for the PPA by simply
+clicking a button.
+
+As per the title of this post, we have set up a
+`survey <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1tGoW26DU-zwIkyyNHFNm_f9a9zgsZH3YrwfGwFIkZN8/viewform>`_
+to help us decide on what the most important features are that we need
+to work on. This survey is completely anonymous, but we do ask that you
+only fill it out once. We've also set maximum number of features to
+choose so that we are absolutely certain that these are the most
+important features. Have your say: `complete the

+We, the OpenLP team, wish you all a very blessed Easter time. We hope
+that you remember our Lord almighty, who sent his son *Jesus* into the
+world to save us.
+
+    Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever
+    believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who
+    lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"
+
+    John 11:25-26 ESV
+
+Things have been rather quiet recently on the OpenLP front, and we
+wanted to give you an update about the current state of development. We
+will be releasing another bug fix version of the 2.0 release in the near
+future (most of us are just rather occupied with real life), and will
+continue with these bugfix versions until either 2.2 is released, or
+there are no more bugs (yeah right!). Of course we've been putting most
+of our effort behind continuing the development of OpenLP, implementing
+more features and doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work to ensure OpenLP
+remains a stable product.
+
+|Image Groups|
+
+Some nice features have been added recently:
+
+-  The "Blank to" buttons in the live controller expand into 3 separate
+   buttons if there is enough space (like in version 1.2.x)
+-  You can create "image groups"
+-  The remote plugin can now use HTTPS
+-  The remote plugin can now also be password protected
+
+|SSL and Password|
+
+Some other internal improvements:
+
+-  Save services without media files
+-  Media players (such as Phonon and VLC) are now in OpenLP core,
+   instead of the media plugin
+-  Various bugs in the media players have been fixed
+-  Preparing to move our code from Python 2 to Python 3 numerous
+   performance improvements have been added to the code
+-  Rewritten the Settings code
+-  Various other internal rewrites and cleanups
+
+We also have some new Czech Bibles available for download in the First
+Time Wizard.
+
+**NOTE:** The current development version is not stable. Do not use it
+at church, it will crash :)
+
+We are also happy to see that the community is growing, with more people
+helping out on the forums. We are always grateful for every helping
+hand.

+The openlp.org team has decided to up the ante on our marketing, but we
+need your help!
+
+We've created a Facebook Page, a group on Facebook, a Twitter account
+and a group on LinkedIn (see the "Follow Us" section below the menu on
+the left). We're also working hard to improve the SEO of the site.
+
+There are a few ways you can help us out...
+
+| Social Networking
+
+You can help by following us on Twitter, becoming a fan of the Facebook
+Page, and by joining the Facebook and LinkedIn groups. openlp.org's
+Twitter page is linked to the blog on the site, so you'll always see the
+latest news via Twitter, and joining the groups on social networks
+allows you to network with other users of OpenLP, and with the
+developers too.
+
+Vote for OpenLP
+
+Both Ohloh.net, a social network for open source applications, and
+SourceForge.net, an open source project hosting service, offer voting
+and reviewing facilities. So go and vote for OpenLP on Ohloh.net or
+SourceForge.net.
+
+| Linkage
+
+Furthermore, if you have a blog or a web site, add a link to the
+openlp.org site with the words "free church presentation software" or
+"free worship software" on an appropriate page. If you're not so hot on
+your HTML, we have a sample of each below.
+
+``I use some <a href="http://openlp.org/"; title="free church presentation software">free church presentation software</a> called OpenLP!``
+

+Are you eager to help out with OpenLP but aren't a developer?
+
+We need folks to help write the manual for OpenLP 2.0. You don't need to
+be a developer, but a good working knowledge of how to do things like
+set up dual monitors is essential. Experience with markup systems like
+BBcode, Markdown or even HTML is an advantage, but not necessary.
+
+So what does it entail?
+
+Basically, you'll be writing up documentation in something called
+reStructuredText, which is plain text with a little bit of markup. It
+might sound pretty intimidating, but it isn't that complicated. You will
+also need to work a little with Bazaar, the version control system we
+use, but that's not that complicated either. And don't worry, we will
+help you every step along the way.
+
+Interested?
+
+Send an e-mail to info [at] openlp.org with a subject line of "Help with
+Manual" and your name, e-mail address, and username on the site.

+I am proud to announce the release of Release Candidate 1. This is the
+first in our release candidate series. Once we are satisfied that no
+more bugs exist in openlp.org, we will release the final version of 1.0.
+Remember to post your bug reports in the forum topic.
+
+Many thanks once again go to Derek for his part of the development of
+openlp.org 1.0. I don't think we'd be where we are now without him.
+
+Just insofar as the next version of openlp.org, we follow the Linux
+kernel's versioning system, with stable releases being even numbers, and
+development releases being odd numbers. So that means that the next
+stable version of openlp.org will be 1.2. All new features will be in
+the development version, version 1.1, while we maintain the 1.0 branch,
+just bringing out bug fixes for any bugs that may still arise.
+
+Some of the first jobs we will be doing in version 1.1 will be a major
+code cleanup. This means that internally we will be tidying up the
+openlp.org code, which often results in faster code, and making
+openlp.org more flexible internally. We also will be moving to SQLite 3.
+Currently our song and bible databases are all in SQLite 2.8 format, and
+we want to upgrade to make use of the updated features in version 3.
+
+We will obviously also bring in a number of the features that have been
+requested so far. We have a nice long list of features, and we would
+like to implement as many of those as is possible. Once again, however,
+we will have to make a call on some features, on whether or not they
+make sense to be included, and on how long they will take to implement
+versus getting a product out.
+
+Hope this helps to clear up what direction we are headed in for the
+short run.

+4. It's looking great! I have been very busy outside of programming,

+From time to time in the past I have blogged things of a more personal

+version is still in the pipeline, as are a number of other developments
+- keep your eyes peeled!

+As many folks know, the CCLI SongSelect importer in openlp.org has been
+disabled due to problems with the service. What many people don't know
+is that all the applications out there that interface with SongSelect
+are actually pretending to be web browsers, and are painstakingly
+pulling the information out of the SongSelect web pages.
+
+The reason openlp.org (and many other presentation applications) stopped
+working with SongSelect was because CCLI was busy moving their systems
+from a ColdFusion-based setup to an ASP.NET-based setup (to be honest,
+I'm not sure if that's an improvement). I took a look at SongSelect
+again today, and it seems like they have finished the conversion and are
+now in full swing with the ASP.NET system.
+
+This is both good news and bad news for us. The good news is that it
+means that we can integrate with SongSelect again. The bad news is that
+ASP.NET is a terrible system (for reasons I won't go into right now) and
+it's gonna take a very long time to get the SongSelect integration
+working again.
+
+We're going to look into getting it going for release with openlp.org
+1.2, but unfortunately we can't make any promises.

+In v1 of openlp.org, there is the option to enable keyboard shortcuts.
+However these hotkeys require you to press 3 keys at once, and as such
+are not very easy to use.
+
+In v2 we've improved the situation. You can now for example use the left
+and right keys to go the previous/next item in the order of service, and
+Esc to hide the display. We also plan in the future to add shortcuts to
+allow the user to skip straight to a verse or chorus and the ability to
+customize the shortcuts.
+
+However one shortcut we haven't yet implemented is blank screen, and
+we're trying to figure out what key to use as the default. The obvious
+is "B", but we want to reserve that in the future for "Bridge"...
+
+I've looked at other software, and discovered that there doesn't seem to
+be any standard for this. V1 uses Ctrl+Alt+B, SongPro uses Z. OpenSong
+uses K. Mediashout uses F6. Easyworship uses Ctrl+B, Words of Worship
+uses ESC.
+
+My assumtion so far is that "T" will blank to theme. I'm wondering
+whether to change hide the screen to be "H" instead of ESC, which would
+affect single screen users the most. Then we could use ESC for blank.
+Another option would be "E" for say empty.
+
+So the question is, what key would you prefer or what other suggestions
+do you have? We'd prefer to stick to single keys rather than
+combinations and reserve any verse tags.

+I've done what any developer should NEVER do. I've released RC6 with a
+few bugs that we know about.
+
+Well, I wanted to give everyone a nice little Christmas present. The
+latest version of openlp.org, with quite a few bug fixes. There are also
+two new import/export functions.... one to import openlp.org songs, and
+one to export openlp.org songs. Of course you can download openlp.org
+from the Download page. Bug reports in the usual place.
+
+Here are some of the bugfixes we made:
+
+-  Importing and exporting of songs database.
+-  Corrected various issues in theme management, including previews and
+   vertical align.
+-  Ability to hide the display screen completely, enabling other
+   applications to display on the second screen.
+-  If you edit a song, the song remains selected, and the list doesn't
+   scroll out of view (partially fixed).
+-  Added an option to select whether or not you want to be prompted
+   every time you load openlp.org and the screen is blanked.
+-  Bible formats changed and Bible CSV Importer Wizard improved.
+-  Show/hide options for the media manager, order of service, and theme
+   manager.
+-  Various other song, Bible, etc. display fixes.

+|Translate OpenLP|
+
+**Update:** Instructions on how to test your translation out have been
+added to the `bottom of this blog
+post </blog/2012/11/15/last-call-translators#testing-translations>`_.
+
+This is the final call for all translators. If you wish to have OpenLP
+in your langauge you need to have completed the translation of
+`OpenLP <https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/openlp/>`_ on the
+`Transifex <https://www.transifex.com/>`_ site ***by midnight UTC (GMT)
+on Friday the 23rd of November 2012***.
+
+Because we believe strongly in quality over quantity at OpenLP, we will
+not be including any translations that are incomplete into the final
+build. **This means that if you want your language to be part of the
+final release of version 2.0, you need to make sure it is 100% done by
+the end of Friday the 23rd**. This deadline also gives you just over a
+week to complete any outstanding translations.
+
+Currently, the following translations are more than 85% complete, but
+still need some work (ordered from most complete to least complete). My
+estimate is that none of these should take longer than an hour to
+complete.
+
+#. Afrikaans
+#. Dutch
+#. German
+#. Hungarian
+#. Japanese
+#. Polish
+#. Spanish
+#. Greek
+#. French
+#. Danish
+
+The following translations are between 20% and 65% complete. Unless
+these are worked on this week, they probably won't make it into the
+final release of OpenLP.
+
+#. Russian
+#. Finnish
+#. Slovak
+#. Bulgarian
+#. Italian
+#. Chinese (Taiwan)
+
+Lastly, the following translations are less than 10% complete. If any of
+these translations makes it into the final release, I will be very
+surprised. These translations seem to have been abandoned by their
+translators.
+
+#. Korean
+#. Latvian
+#. Romanian
+#. Albanian
+#. Chinese (China)
+#. Korean (Korea)
+#. Spanish (Chile)
+
+|Current Status of OpenLP Translations|
+
+Testing Out Your Translation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To test your translation out, do the following:
+
+#. Make sure you are running the `latest nightly
+   build <http://openlp.org/download#nightly-builds>`_
+#. Install Qt Linguist
+   Windows and OS X users can download Qt Linguist from here:
+   http://code.google.com/p/qtlinguistdownload/downloads/list
+   Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux and Unix users can install Qt
+   Linguist from their package manager
+#. Download the language file from Transifex
+#. Open it in Qt Linguist
+#. Open the File menu, select "Release" and save the resulting release
+   file with only your language code as the file name (see Transifex for
+   your language code)
+#. Copy the release file to OpenLP's i18n directory
+   Windows: C:\\Program Files\\OpenLP\\i18n or C:\\Program Files
+   (x86)\\OpenLP\\i18n
+   Mac OS X: /Applications/OpenLP.app/Contents/MacOS/i18n/
+   Linux: /usr/share/openlp/i18n/
+   \*BSD: /usr/local/share/openlp/i18n/
+#. (Re)start Openlp and select your language

+
+Our non-English users would have noticed that some of them can use
+OpenLP in their own language. Now, I am an English speaker, so I don't
+have any issues using OpenLP as-is, but I can imagine that it would be
+way better to be able to use OpenLP in English if it were only available
+in another language.
+
+The good news for our non-English users is that we already have a number
+of languages which are 100% (or close to 100%) translated.
+Unfortunately, the bad news is that not all the translations are
+complete, so there are still English words creeping through in a few
+translations. Additionally, in order to produce a top-quality final
+version of OpenLP, we'll be dropping any incomplete translations from
+OpenLP when we release it in 2 weeks time.
+
+Here's the break down of the different translations we currently have:
+

+and then request to join a language team. Once you've been added to that

+    *O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
+    Sing to the Lord, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after
+    day.*
+
+    Psalms 96:1-2
+
+We are ecstatic to announce the first stable release of the 2.0 series
+of OpenLP! We've been developing this new version of OpenLP for four
+years now, and this long awaited mature release contains numerous
+improvements over OpenLP 1.2.
+
+New Features We Like Most
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It is difficult to pick a single favourite with so many new features, so
+we decided make a list of our top favourites instead:
+
+-  Support for four major operating systems - Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
+   and FreeBSD (a first priority for many of us)
+-  Better media support by integrating VLC into OpenLP (requires
+   `VLC <http://www.videolan.org/vlc/>`__ to be installed)
+-  An enormous list of programs to import songs from, so that switching
+   to OpenLP is fast and easy (see below for a full list of supported
+   programs)
+-  More Bibles available (there are more import formats supported)
+-  Remotely control OpenLP via any device with a browser
+-  Android remote control app
+-  `Stage view <http://manual.openlp.org/stage_view.html>`__
+-  Show and control PowerPoint presentations through OpenLP
+
+For a full list of features, check out our
+`Features <http://openlp.org/features>`__ page.
+
+Features You'll Know From Version 1.2
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+And of course most of the old core stuff works just as well as, or even
+better than before:
+
+-  Presenting songs and Bible verses
+-  Showing images and playing videos
+-  CCLI reports
+
+Making the switch
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We all know that the worst part of switching to a new program is getting
+all your songs from the old one into the new one. Typically this
+involves a whole lot of copying and pasting between programs, or just
+plain re-typing songs from scratch. We realised that this is a huge
+pain, and so OpenLP ships with a song import wizard which can import
+your songs from a record number of existing applications. OpenLP will
+save you time and import your whole lyrics database from any of the
+following programs:
+
+-  DreamBeam
+-  EasySlides
+-  EasyWorship
+-  FoilPresenter
+-  MediaShout
+-  OpenSong
+-  PowerSong
+-  SongBeamer
+-  SongPro
+-  SongShow Plus
+-  Songs of Fellowship
+-  Sunday Plus
+-  Words of Worship
+-  ZionWorx
+
+Known Limitations on Some Platforms
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+-  Not all versions of VLC work with OpenLP.  VLC 2.0.3 has been tested
+   and is known to work well.
+-  On Windows, OpenLP is a 32bit application and therefore only works
+   with a 32bit VLC.
+-  On Mac OS X, the only version of VLC that works with OpenLP is 2.0.3.
+   Using an alternate version will cause OpenLP to crash.
+-  Transparent themes have stopped working on Windows.
+
+What Makes OpenLP So Awesome?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The number one thing we are proud of is that it is free software, and is
+licensed under the `GNU General Public
+License <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License>`__.
+This means that OpenLP is and always will be free. Not only free in that
+you don't have to pay for it, but also you can freely download the
+source code and add your needed feature or let someone else do it for
+you. Furthermore, as long as there is at least one developer who needs
+improvements in OpenLP, the project will not fade away, like a number of
+commercial solutions have, leaving you with a program which will not run
+on your current operating system and all your songs locked away in a
+now-useless database.
+
+In short, even if your church's budget is not that tight, there are
+plenty reasons why OpenLP is still a winning solution.
+
+Where Do I Start?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Wow, you made it all the way down here without rushing off to download
+OpenLP? Impressive dedication! Well, go ahead and `download OpenLP
+now <http://openlp.org/download>`__!
+
+If you are new to OpenLP, take a look at our `list of video
+tutorials <https://www.youtube.com/user/openlpvideos>`__ done by members
+of our community. A good video to start with is the `Getting started
+with your service in
+OpenLP <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX9fQkEB_j0>`__ tutorial. If you
+get stuck, or want to learn more, we have a `user
+guide <http://user-guide.openlp.org/>`__ (currently still being worked
+on) to show you how to do the most common tasks in OpenLP, and a
+`reference manual <http://manual.openlp.org/>`__ which contains
+everything you'll ever need to know about OpenLP.
+
+Finally
+~~~~~~~
+
+Last, but not least, I want to thank all the folks who have managed to
+make OpenLP 2.0 a reality. I would not have been able to accomplish such
+a huge task by myself. So, to the core team, Tim Bently, Jonathan
+Corwin, Andreas Preikschat, Martin Zibricky, Stevan Pettit, Wesley
+Stout, John Cegalis, Philip Ridout and Mattias Põldaru, and to all the
+others who have contributed to OpenLP, I want to say a big **THANK
+YOU**. You guys have been awesome, and I really appreciate all the hard
+work you do. It is often a thankless task.
+
+| In His name,
+| Raoul Snyman
+| OpenLP Project Leader

+I seem to have found myself the only one left on the openlp.org "team."
+All the folks who have been involved in openlp.org have had to bow out
+due to external commitments. In plain english (and through no fault of
+their own) they are too busy to help out.
+
+So, I'm left asking for assistance again. If you're interested in
+helping out with openlp.org (not just development - things like support,
+etc), I'd really appreciate your help. You don't need to be a rocket
+scientist or a rock star, you just need a couple of free hours every
+week to lend a hand.
+
+Things have been quiet here recently. About 2 weeks ago my computer's
+motherboard gave in, and I was without a computer for a couple of days
+while I went about ordering a new one. My computer was 5 years old,
+which meant that I couldn't just replace the motherboard, I had to
+replace EVERYTHING.
+
+Otherwise, things are plodding on. I'm busy with a lot of
+behind-the-scenes work at the moment, which means that there's nothing
+new, just old stuff made better, but nothing really visible. This work
+is very necessary though. It builds the base for future features, for
+everything we want to accomplish with version 1.2. It also means fewer
+bugs in the system, and more reliable performance, something I'm sure
+everyone would appreciate.
+
+That's all for now!

+OpenLP 2.0 is moving along nicely at this stage, and we're probably not

+in need of one thing in particular: people with Macs.
+
+Currently most of our developers are using Linux, and we have plenty

+developer level on Mac OS X. The only problem with this is that we can't
+test out OpenLP on Mac OS X, nor can we package it for Mac OS X.

+
+As promised (though more than a few days), I've created a basic media or
+press kit. I'll add more to the media kit as time goes by, but I wanted
+to get something out there now so that folks can start promoting OpenLP
+on their own sites and blogs.
+
+In the initial version of the media kit, you'll find the following:
+
+-  An OpenLP branded wallpaper in the follwing display ratios: 16:10,
+   16:9, 4:3 and 5:4.
+-  The OpenLP icon in the following sizes: 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64,
+   128x128, 256x256 and 420x420.
+-  An 80x15 badge for your website.
+-  A project summary document for a quick blurb on websites.
+-  Sample interview questions and answers for anyone who wants to
+   interview the team (or wants an interview but doesn't want to
+   actually interview us!).
+
+As I gather more items, I'll add them to the media kit, so be on the
+look out for more updates, including more wallpapers and website badges.
+
+For Windows uers, and those who like zip files, you can download
+`OpenLP-MediaKit.zip <http://sourceforge.net/projects/openlp/files/mediakit/OpenLP-MediaKit.zip/download>`_,
+and those who prefer tarballs can download
+`OpenLP-MediaKit.tar.gz <http://sourceforge.net/projects/openlp/files/mediakit/OpenLP-MediaKit.tar.gz/download>`_.
+
+Now go forth and multiply!

+Hi folks,
+
+I've just committed one of our largest (if not the largest) chunks of
+code yet. It is a complete rewrite of the way media works in OpenLP. You
+should not see any noticeable difference from your perspective as the
+user at the moment, but this change gives us the ability to use various
+media "engines" to play videos and audio other than the ones built into
+your platform.
+
+For instance, one of the engines we are working on at the moment is VLC.
+VLC is the dominant media player, and being able to use VLC as a video
+player means that OpenLP should be able to play any video that VLC can
+play. However, this is not yet implemented, we'll let you know when it
+is.
+
+Due to the nature and the size of this change, we'd really like as many
+people as possible to test it out for us, and make sure it is bug-free.
+You'll need to download tonight's nightly build (see the download page),
+and make sure to backup your OpenLP data and keep the installer for your
+previous version of OpenLP close at hand. Don't install this on your
+church computer!
+
+If you do encounter any bugs, please check our Launchpad.net bug
+tracker, our support system, and the forums before posting your bug
+report - we may have already received it from someone else.

+About 2 and a half years ago, when we first started development on
+OpenLP 2.0, we had a look at all the technologies out there in order to
+decide what would be the best technologies to use in order to make a
+cross-platform version of OpenLP a reality. We settled on two in
+particular, a language called Python, and a graphical toolkit called Qt.
+In those days, the latest version of Python was 2.5 and the latest
+version of Qt was 4.4. So we made those versions our minimum software
+versions, and anything older than that we didn't try to program for, and
+we didn't offer support for.
+
+Two and a half years later, we've looked at the current versions of
+software, and what minimum versions we should support. We looked at our
+supported operating systems, and their support, and decided to base our
+minimum versions off theirs. In particular, we had a look at Ubuntu
+Linux, which has two types of releases: short term support releases, and
+long term support releases (better known as LTS). With this in mind, we
+looked at the minimum versions of Python and Qt in Ubuntu's 10.04
+release (the most recent LTS).
+
+We aren't concerned with Windows or Mac OS X, since we have to build and
+compile OpenLP completely for those platforms, whereas the Linux and
+\*BSD support OpenLP natively. Since Fedora, FreeBSD, and the other
+Linux and \*BSD distributions are all up-to-date, and none of them offer
+the same LTS-style releases that Ubuntu does, we decided to use Ubuntu
+as our yardstick.
+
+So, as of today, the minimum software  requirements are Python 2.6, Qt
+4.6 and PyQt 4.7, and the minimum version of Ubuntu is 10.04. The
+minimums for Windows is XP and OS X is 10.5. Fedora's minimum version is
+typically the release in development, and then all releases back to the
+current release. Arch Linux is a "rolling release" distro, and so OpenLP
+generally works on it. OpenLP generally works on all versions of FreeBSD
+as well, since it's a source-based system, and you can generally find
+the latest OpenLP package for PC-BSD as well.

+that the 1st of December was a Sunday. Only once we were getting closer
+to the release date did we realise that it was a Saturday!
+
+|Site Maintenance|
+
+So, we're still releasing OpenLP 2.0 this weekend, just on Sunday the
+2nd of December, rather than Saturday the 1st. Are you ready for version
+2.0?
+
+In semi-related news, we'll be running some maintenance on the web site
+this weekend just before the release. So don't panic if see a "website
+under maintenance" page, the web site will be ready for the release on
+Sunday!

+
+Due to a packaging issue on one of our supported platforms (Debian, to be precise), we have had to radically shift
+forward the release date of OpenLP 2.4, as well as cut out a whole lot of features we had hoped to include.
+
+The biggest feature of OpenLP 2.4 will be the move to Qt 5.x. Qt is the GUI library we use for OpenLP's interface, and
+up until now we've been using version 4.8 of Qt. Just like all software projects, Qt has been moving on (they recently
+released version 5.5), and we've unfortunately been lagging behind.
+
+We had always intended to upgrade to Qt5 in OpenLP 2.4, but thanks to the aforementioned packaging problem, we have to
+release a version of OpenLP which uses Qt5 by the end of January. With this in mind we decided to cut the release
+cycle short and just release 2.4 with Qt5 and some bugfixes.
+
+The good news in all of this is that we should be able to make OpenLP's multimedia capabilities more powerful thanks
+to the reworking of media in Qt5. This should also encourage developers to continue contributing to OpenLP, which means
+that we all win.
+
+Here's our intended release cycle for OpenLP 2.4:
+
++---------------+------------------------+
+| Date          | Version                |
++===============+========================+
+| 27 Dec 2015   | OpenLP 2.3.1 aka Alpha |
++---------------+------------------------+
+| 10 Jan 2016   | OpenLP 2.3.2 aka Beta  |
++---------------+------------------------+
+| 31 Jan 2016   | OpenLP 2.4             |
++---------------+------------------------+
+
+If we feel we need it, we may release a second beta on the 24th of January, but this depends on developer availability,
+and how many bugs we have found and/or fixed.
+
+We Need You
+-----------
+
+Again, we need you. We've just uploaded some fresh language files to `Transifex for OpenLP 2.4`_ (you may need to be
+logged in to view this page), and we need your help to translate them into your languages. We'll blog in about a week
+again with a status update for these translations. Not many strings have changed, but we'd like to give folks whose
+translations were not able to be included in OpenLP 2.2 to get their translations up to date and included in OpenLP 2.4.

+Well, this weekend I released Release Candidate 3, with a few more
+improvements (they're not really new features, but they are improvements
+to existing features). So Derek and I were chatting last night about the
+current state of openlp.org, and we are pretty sure that if there are no
+more bugs in RC4, we will release 1.0.
+
+In terms of the distribution (or marketing) pack, a designer friend of
+mine who has been associated with openlp.org since the early days has
+had a bit of time on his hands recently and has been having a go at
+designing posters and the like. I'm going to see how far he has got, and
+then we can start putting the pack together.
+
+However, we still need people to assist with the documentation. This is
+an area that is sadly lacking, and neither Derek nor I have the time to
+write up the documentation. If you see yourself being able to help out,
+please contact us, either through the site contact form, or by e-mailing
+**support-at-openlp.org**, or by e-mailing me personally at

+As you may well have seen, the release date for the first 2.0 alpha has
+been set, and the developers are working hard to ensure the deadline is
+met!
+
+Up until now we've been asking testers to post bug reports or feedback
+on the mailing list or IRC. However as the 2.0 feature set has become
+more complete and stable, more people are trying it out and posting
+their feedback in the forums. We've attempted to point them in the right
+direction, but have now come to the conclusion that we're not got going
+to be able to hold back the tide once the alpha is released.
+
+Therefore new 2.0 specific forums have been created, to help separate
+v1.2 posts from v2.0 ones.
+
+If you just want to discuss how great \*cough\* 2.0 is, need a bit of
+help getting it to do what you want or other general 2.0 chat, then you
+can use the General Discussion forum. Just don't ask us when the final
+version will be released, we don't know :)
+
+If you have hit a problem with 2.0 that we don't already know about then
+you can post the problem in the Bug reports forum. Remember to tell us
+which operating system you are running, and offer as much information as
+you can regarding the steps leading up to the problem.
+
+And finally if you have need of a specific feature in 2.0, and it hasn't
+already been suggested then post the request in the Feature requests
+forum. However remember that the developers are still busy getting the
+basic 1.2 feature set finished, and there is already a long list of
+additional things we'd like to do. So we might not get everything in
+2.0, but we'll do what we can!
+
+We look forward to hearing from you!

+* No cancel button on FTW "No inetrnet page"
+* Bible quick search to end does not work
+* Thumbnail of images isn't shown in stage view and remote control
+* When deleting a presentation from the mediamanager the cursor remains busy
+* Importing certain presentation manager pro files fails
+* Consider moving the delete option in the right click menu to the bottom of the menu.
+* Some disk errors are not being caught
+* Zefania bible imports all books as "Genesis" if book name is missing
+* One failed download stops first run wizard
+* Remove support for .theme files
+* Second Bible verse separation
+* Traceback when importing CSV bibles
+* Traceback in FTW on download error (404)
+* After downloading KJV through FTW, searching in KJV causes traceback
+* Double clicking item in preview adds to service instead of sending live
+* Alert is displayed on a single screen when "Display on a single screen" is not checked
+
+Important Notes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+OpenLP 2.1.3 is **not backwards compatible** with 2.0.5. Once you have upgraded from 2.0.5, version 2.0.5 cannot read the upgraded files. OpenLP 2.1.3 will make a backup on startup, but it is recommended that you make your own backup too.
+
+Upgrading from versions of OpenLP before 2.0.5 are not supported. You need to upgrade to 2.0.5 first, and make sure you run OpenLP at least once before continuing to upgrade to 2.1.3
+
+This is a beta release, which means it is not yet finished and likely to still contain a few bugs. Please test it out as much as you can (using a Portable build on Windows is a good way to do this) and report the bugs you find.
+
+Service Files created in 2.1.3 cannot be opened in 2.0
+
+System Requirements
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+OpenLP's system requrements have been upgraded since the 2.0.5 release. We have had to drop older operating systems in order to take advantage of newer features not available in older operating systems. Please take note:
+
+* Windows Vista and up
+* Mac OS  X 10.8 and up
+* Ubuntu 14.04, 14.10 and 15.02
+* Fedora 21
+
+    I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?
+
+    My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
+
+    Psalm 121

+yes, you heard correct, there's a new beta coming up in the next couple

+2 months i think) and has fixed the powerpoint issue it seems. he's also
+made some improvements to the interface, and even reworked the themes
+slightly. many thanks to him for his dedication and hard work!
+
+in other news, i have yet another new job. this one looks much more
+permanent that the last lot. i at least have an initial year long
+contract. i also have a decent salary that will cover my expenses
+nicely. my expenses are also about to decrease, since i'm taking the
+train to work, and it's FAR cheaper than the petrol for the car. i'm
+praying that things are looking up.
+
+well, that's all from my side for now.

+Following 2 months of work, the display and text rendering code has been
+replaced. Due to the magnitude of the change there may still be bugs, so
+please report them in the usual way.
+
+These changed allow a number of significant new features to become
+available:
+
+-  Text over video now works correctly.
+-  Changeable image and video backgrounds now have a proper start and
+   finish.
+-  Text enhancements are now available like colours and styles (bold,
+   italic, etc).
+-  Spell checker for songs and custom slides.
+
+Unfortunately we've had to remove two theme features as they are no
+longer possible: transparent backgrounds, which was an early attempt to
+implement text over video, and indentation for line wrapping. Any
+transparent themes will automatically be converted to a black
+background.
+
+Also note that themes may now display slightly differently as we are
+using a different display technology.
+
+To access the new text enhancements, edit either a song or a custom
+slide and you'll see a new menu has been added to the right-click
+context menu of the edit box. This will allow tags to be inserted as a
+pair or wrapped round selected text. We will no doubt implement a nice
+WYSIWYG editor in a future release. Eventually we'll even allow the user
+to define their own tags, so that they can add styles to their slides.
+
+From a developer's point of view to code is now much simpler and easier
+to maintain going forward. The new code is based on a web browser so
+HTML tags now can be added to text for display. Tags are implemented
+using a non-HTML tagging mechanism, so that it is easier to work with
+the tags and the text.
+
+As an additional bonus, I have added a spellcheck to the songs and
+custom editors.  It makes use of the PyEnchant libraries, so Linux users
+will need to add "python-enchant" (Fedora and Ubuntu) from their code
+repositories, and Windows users will have to download the library
+from http://www.rfk.id.au/software/pyenchant/download.html. The builds
+will include this library automatically.
+
+The screenshot you see here of the development team's favourite song is
+an example of what we can achieve.

+**PLEASE REMEMBER TO READ THE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS BEFORE USING AN
+ALPHA RELEASE**
+
+Some of the new features in this release are...
+
+-  New search box for songs
+-  Song re-indexing tool
+-  SongBeamer import
+-  Importing songs from the service file
+-  openlp.org 1.x Bibles added to Bible import wizard
+-  An additional web download Bible source
+-  Auto-completion of Bible book names in the Quick Search

+**PLEASE RUN THE NEW SEARCH RE-INDEX TOOL AFTER UPGRADING**
+
+Not only do we have all these new features, but a couple of our testers
+have started writing a reference manual for OpenLP 2, which can be seen
+on our new manual site. They are continuously working on it, and as they
+update it we update the new manual site with their latest work.
+
+We also tried to put a lot of polish into this release, cleaning up
+bugs, making OpenLP work better behind the scenes, tweaking the GUI,
+etc. Our list of open bugs has grown since Alpha 3, but then so has our
+list of fixed bugs.
+
+As part of the "polish" exercise, our Mac OS X packager has done a lot
+of work to fix up the errors in the OS X build. If you're an OS X user,
+please check our list of bugs, and let us know if you are experiencing
+any of them.

+Changes have been made to the songs plugin to give users the ability to
+edit songs in a service when the "Add missing Songs when Opening
+Service" option is disabled. In the past, this was not possible.
+
+This has meant that we needed to make a change to the songs database to
+protect the database. Thanks to the new internal upgrade system, you do
+not need to make the change yourself, OpenLP will do so automatically.
+In addition to this, the songs plugin will be disabled if the version of
+the database is newer than the version the code expects.
+
+This will only impact people using nightly builds who have a number of
+copies of the code or who copy the database between different machines
+and the database has been updated. It will also impact anyone who tries
+to install an older version of OpenLP after using the latest nightly
+build.
+
+It is recommended that you first backup your songs database if you think
+you may need to downgrade to 1.9.7 or an older nightly build after
+installing the latest nightly build.

+Hi folks,
+
+We're still busy hacking away at openlp.org version 2.0, hence the
+silence from us. If you don't hear from us, it's because we're working
+hard!
+
+It's coming along nicely though, we're got most of the ground work done,
+and we're now busy working on how to get a plugin to display an item to
+the screen. Thanks to some hard work for the team, most of the core
+plugins (the Bibles, Videos, etc) are about 75% done. The next few steps
+are going to be working on the openlp.org core, getting things to talk
+to each other nicely and writing the control component (or "widget" as
+Qt likes to call them).

+Well, according to our bug list, we have one last bug to fix. And in the
+traditional style of bugs, it's proving to be the most elusive. Derek
+and I are both working on it, so we're hoping to have it solved pretty
+soon.
+
+One thing to take note of is that the XML format for the themes has
+changed slightly. Fortunately this is not a big problem, and will cause
+at most a minor inconvenience. The simple way to "upgrade" your themes
+from the older to the newer format is to edit them and save them with
+their original settings.
+
+These last few changes will be the last ones for openlp.org 1.0. After
+RC6 we will clean up any additional bugs in openlp.org, and then release
+the final version.
+
+We're hoping to have RC out in the next week or so, and then 1.0 final
+by the end of January. It's a little later than Derek or I expected, but
+then again, we didn't expect our day-job workloads to be that much
+either...

+I must admit to those frustrated users who installed beta 5 only to find
+out that it wiped out their song collection, that it is kinda my fault.
+I had not checked the installation script (which I got from Tim
+originally) to see what it was doing. Also, I noticed that I had not
+included the proper database with the public domain songs in it, so you
+all got my little test database. My humblest apologies!
+
+So I have updated the installer, and I will be uploading it in the next
+week (probably from work, where we have a nice fat pipe onto the
+Internet, rather than my dialup at home).
+
+In other news, Derek and I have already fixed a number of bugs that you
+mentioned. Please keep those bug reports coming in. I'm also about to
+start working on the internationalization ("i18n" for short)
+functionality and hope to get that underway shortly.
+
+Also, good news for those who run openlp.org in a limited user account,
+we have started making provision for that too. You will be able to run
+openlp.org in a limited user account, and each user account on the
+computer will have their own settings, although all users will have the
+same database, themes, etc. Of course you'll still need administrator
+access to install openlp.org, but that's normal for any other
+application as well.
+
+I'm very pleased with the progress we have made so far, and Derek is
+doing a fantastic job, so well done to him!
+
+Oh, and as usual, we're always on the look out for helping hands. We
+need documentation done and we need a few more people in our support
+team, and of course more developers are always welcome. Please use the
+Contact Us page to let us know.
+
+God bless!

+
+We are pleased to announce the release of the third alpha version of
+OpenLP!
+
+It has been three months since our last alpha release, and the
+developers have been working hard to fix bugs and add new features.
+We're getting ever closer to a complete application, and there are
+already enough finished features that some Churches are using the alpha
+releases in their Sunday Services. We hope more people will be willing
+to give this new version a try. Read on for more details about this
+release.
+
+***Note, if upgrading from 1.9.2 you will need to convert your song
+database, or OpenLP will fail to start.***
+
+The complete list of features can be seen on the Version 2.0 Features
+page of the developers' wiki. Some of the new features we have been
+working on for this release are:
+
+-  More song imports have been added, including openlp.org 1.x and
+   OpenLP 2.0, OpenSong, CCLI, Words of Worship and EasyWorship.
+-  The display code has been rewritten, and as a result video
+   backgrounds are possible as well as text formatting.
+-  A lot of effort has been put into internationalization. Some
+   additional languages are now available, although some of those
+   available within OpenLP are incomplete. If you would like to help
+   translate your language, more information is on our wiki.
+-  Spell checking within the song editor.
+
+Important Note
+
+If you have been running a previous release, then you will need to be
+aware of a few changes:
+
+#. The songs database has been changed and will cause OpenLP to crash.
+   Details to upgrade this are in a previous blog post
+#. Due to the display code changes, your themes may no longer work the
+   same. You will need to review your themes to check they are OK.
+#. In addition, the theme indent and the transparent background options
+   have been removed.
+#. Presentations may need to be reloaded to rebuild their thumbnail
+   cache
+#. The user interface has changed in places, so take the time to
+   familiarize yourself with the new layout
+
+Version 1.x Users
+
+If you are upgrading from v1, it is now possible to import your song
+database direct from the Song Import menu option. At the file open
+dialog, enter:
+
+::
+
+    %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\openlp.org\Data\songs.olp
+
+Testing
+
+This version is still in alpha. Although quite stable now, it is still
+incomplete and not completely tested. Some bugs may exist and some
+features may be missing or not working as expected. We would very much
+like you to report any problems you find at Launchpad.net
+
+Any questions, please ***first*** check the Frequently Asked Questions,
+and then, if you cannot find a suitable answer to your question, contact
+us on IRC via the Contact Us menu on the left. (Ask a question in IRC
+that is already answered in the FAQ at your peril - the developers don't
+like repeating themselves! :)
+
+We are now starting work on our next alpha, which we're hoping will be
+our last before we go beta, and are aiming for a Christmas release.
+Check our Milestone page to follow progress. Please remember that
+dates/milestones may change as the developers work in their spare time.
+
+Download
+
+To download this version, please go to the Development Release section
+of the Download page.
+
+If the 1.9.3 version for your system is not there yet, please check back
+in a day or two as the packagers work to complete their builds.
+
+Finally, a big thank you to the developers, testers and translators for
+the work that has gone into this release.

+
+Hi folks,
+
+It is with great pleasure that I announce the first alpha version of
+OpenLP 2.0! We've been working on this for a long time (since September
+2008 if I have my dates correct) and decided to give everyone a taste of
+what we've been working on.
+
+As we've mentioned before, OpenLP 2.0 is cross-platform. This means that
+it runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and even FreeBSD! However, since
+OpenLP 2.0 is a complete rewrite, and this particular release is an
+Alpha, there are a few things to be aware of...
+
+From our FAQ: What is an alpha release?
+
+An alpha release is a very early incomplete release. It has missing
+features, and bugs and is likely to crash or do unexpected things. It is
+intended for those who aren't scared of program crashes and want to help
+test the software. It is also for those who are interested in seeing the
+new features.
+
+What new features will I find in 2.0?
+
+Since 2.0 is a rewrite from the ground up, you won't find a great deal
+of new features since initially we want to ensure all the v1.2 features
+are included. However the developers have managed to sneak a few in.
+Take a look at the Complete list.
+
+Is there a manual or any documentation for 2.0?
+
+No, we don't have any documentation yet. If you need help, just ask in
+the forums or use the live chat feature. If you would like to help write
+some documentation, please let us know - we are always happy for new
+volunteers to join the team and contribute to the project.
+
+I've started OpenLP, but I can't see the songs or bibles section in the
+Media Manager
+
+On some systems, the media manager plugins default to a deactivated
+state. This is something we will address in a future release, but for
+now you will need to turn them on manually.
+
+| More Questions?
+
+It is recommended that you read the rest of the Frequently Asked
+Questions before using OpenLP 2.0 Alpha 1, as it contains some very
+important information.
+
+ 
+
+Download
+
+This is the part you've been waiting for!
+
+**Windows XP/Vista/7:**
+    OpenLP-1.9.1-setup.exe (14.4MB)
+**Mac OS X (10.4 and higher):**
+    OpenLP-1.9.1.dmg (35.2MB)
+**Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu (Karmic/9.10 and higher):**
+    We have a PPA (Personal Package Archive) which you can add to your
+    package management software to download and keep up to date.
+**Fedora:**
+    We are busy working on getting an OpenLP 2.0 package for Fedora.
+**FreeBSD:**
+    We are busy working on getting OpenLP 2.0 into the ports system.
+**Source Code:**
+    OpenLP-1.9.1.tar.gz (1.9MB)
+
+ 
+
+Do you like OpenLP?
+
+If you really like OpenLP, look at the following ways of helping promote
+OpenLP and also keeping track of the development of version 2.0:
+
+-  Are you on facebook? Then become a fan and "Like" the posts.
+-  Are you on twitter? Then follow openlp, and retweet the
+   announcements.
+-  Give us a thumbs up on the SourceForge project page.
+-  If you have a website or blog, then link to our site
+   http://openlp.org/ with a few words saying what the software is and
+   why you like it.
+-  Add a placemark on our Worldwide Usage map, so others in your
+   locality can see someone close by is using it.
+-  If you are a member of any Christian Forums or websites, and their
+   rules allow it, then perhaps review the software or ask others to
+   review it.

+We have decided to delay the release of OpenLP 1.9.4 (aka 2.0 Alpha 4)
+for two weeks, till the 9th of January. Due to some unforseen technical
+difficulties (namely my Internet connection at home giving up the
+ghost), we have been unable to fully prepare for the release.
+
+By delaying the release for 2 weeks, we hope to give the translators a
+chance to get their translations up to speed, and give the testers and
+developers a chance to iron out most of the remaining bugs. This will
+hopefully ensure that we have a well-rounded release.

+Hello folks,
+
+We are pleased to announce OpenLP 1.9.6 "Enflaming Elijah", also known
+as 2.0 beta 2. Download it, it is AWESOME!
+
+Since the release of beta 1, we have encouraged users to download and
+use OpenLP 2.0 instead of openlp.org 1.2. This means that OpenLP 2.0 has
+been put through its paces, and people have been testing it by using it
+in their services. Of course this opens us up to the discovery of bugs
+and we have fixed a large number of those as well as introduced a number
+of improvements. Much to our pleasant surprise, there were actually
+fewer bugs than we were expecting.
+
+If you have any problems setting up or using OpenLP, please read the
+manual as well as the Frequently Asked Questions. Bug reports can be
+sent to bugs(at)openlp.org, and queries not addressed by the FAQ or the
+manual can be sent to support(at)openlp.org.
+
+This release brings many performance and stability improvements. But not
+only that, it also includes a number of new features:
+
+-  Customisable shortcuts
+-  Service printing can be tailored via a CSS file
+-  Start and stop media at selected times
+-  Open services files in OpenLP by double clicking on them on most
+   platforms
+-  Prevent two copies of OpenLP running at the same time
+-  Virtual page breaks
+-  Search for Custom Slides
+-  A progress bar when loading and saving Service files
+-  Web remote improvements:
+
+   -  Search for, and go live on an item
+   -  Search for, and add an item to the service
+
+-  Stage view
+
+Other improvements and over one hundred bug fixes, including:
+
+-  Various Mac OS X specific fixes
+-  Reworked the Bibles for better language support
+-  Bug fixes in the song importer
+-  Numerous UI improvements
+-  Startup performance enhancements on Windows
+-  Display screen rendering performance enhancements
+-  PowerPoint and LibreOffice integration improvements
+
+A full list can be found on our project site:
+https://launchpad.net/openlp/trunk/1.9.6
+
+Important Notes:
+
+-  HTML is not allowed in songs/custom slides anymore, it will be
+   displayed as normal text. If you would like to embed your own HTML,
+   you can use display tags instead.
+-  In order to make use of the Bible improvements, Bibles will need to
+   be upgraded. This will be automatic when OpenLP starts after the
+   upgrade. Note that this will take some time so do not do this upgrade
+   5 minutes before a service starts!
+-  Upgraded Bibles are incompatible with older versions of OpenLP!
+-  In order to fix searching for apostrophes, a re-indexing of the songs
+   is necessary. Go to Tools -> Re-Index Songs to do so.
+-  JPEG support on OS X is still an issue, but we're hoping to have it
+   resolved in the next release.
+-  There is a Snow Leopard build in the works.
+
+Finally, you can download OpenLP by going to the Download page and
+clicking on the installer for your operating system.

+As some folks might have noticed, we released OpenLP 1.9.2 "Hairy
+Habakkak" (aka Alpha 2) about three months after we released our first
+alpha release. The more adventurous folk might have even noticed that on
+the developers' wiki, the rest of the releases are all aimed to be about
+3 months apart.
+
+While we aren't 100% set to those timelines, we have mostly decided to
+get a new release out every 3 months, for a few reasons:
+
+#. Firstly, to show people that we're actively working on version 2.0. I
+   think a lot of folk wondered about it, since we were making a lot of
+   noise, but no one had seen anything yet.
+#. Secondly, to widen our testing. The more folks who test OpenLP and
+   find bugs, the less bugs there will be in the final version.
+#. Thirdly, to give ourselves a deadline. This helps us as developers to
+   have a goal to aim for, and motivate us to accomplish certain tasks
+   by the release date.
+
+With this all in mind, we'll be having a developer's meeting at the end
+of August, to asses our progress and see if we want to make a release
+happen at the end of September, and what will be included in that
+release out of all the features we planned to develop. These developer
+meetings are open to anyone who wants to attend, are usually announced
+on the developer mailing list, and held in our IRC channel.
+
+You can read up on our proposed releases on our developer wiki. Please
+note that these are NOT finalised, they simply serve as a guide for what
+we want to achieve.

+
+After much discussion, the developers have tentatively put the final
+release of OpenLP 2.0 in mid-October this year. This is a very
+auspicious occasion, since OpenLP 2.0 has been in development since
+September 2008. So after 4 long hard years of work, we can think of no
+better way to celebrate the release of OpenLP 2.0 than to throw a big
+party.
+
+Unfortunately, being much of a global affair, it will be rather
+difficult to get everyone from around the world to the same place to
+celebrate the release of OpenLP 2.0. A better solution would be for
+people in various areas to host regional release parties.
+
+There are a number of OpenLP `developers living in the
+UK <http://openlp.org/en/forums/general-support/general-discussion/uk-20-release-party>`_,
+and they are quite eager to get together for a release party. I live in
+`Cape Town, South
+Africa <http://openlp.org/en/forums/general-support/general-discussion/south-africa-20-release-party>`_,
+and I'm keen to host a release party here in Cape Town too.
+
+If you are interested in attending a release party, or hosting a release
+party, please post your location in an appropriate release party topic
+in the forums. If there isn't a release party topic, create one!
+
+Remember that release parties do not need to involve computers at all!
+You can get together at a local pub or restaurant, or host a bit of a
+party at someone's house. The release parties don't have to happen on
+the day of OpenLP's release either, they can be a week or two or three
+later. If you have any ideas of how to celebrate OpenLP's release, feel
+free to post your ideas in the forums too.

+The developers of openlp have really been burning it up here lately.
+There are some really neat things happening. The testing, however has
+been a little slow (mainly due to me dragging my feet) so we are needing
+a little help on the testing front. As most of you that are testers of
+2.0 know, the developers  want to use full regression testing for
+version 2.0. Full regression testing pretty much means no stone goes
+unturned, and every possible scenario is played out in testing before
+the release. To accomplish this we need to write test scripts for
+everyone to follow so we know that things have been checked out
+completely on a variety of hardware, operating system environments, etc.
+
+If you are interested in helping write some of the scripts we are
+breaking them down per plugin. For example the songs plugin will have a
+set of test as will the themes plugin, etc. This is fairly involved
+process but really helps you get to know the software well and is a way
+for those of us who can't or don't have the time to help with the coding
+to make a contribution. You can check out what we have so far here. The
+basics are making sure everything that should be there is there and
+making sure that everything that is there works. If you are interested
+in helping out let me know so we won't have two people working on the
+same thing or join us over in irc at #openlp.org.

+
+We are happy to announce another bugfix release of OpenLP 2.0: version
+2.0.3 "Patched Petrus". This release fixes a regression in OpenLP 2.0.2
+where \ `services with notes could not be
+saved <https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1216785>`_, and includes some
+updates to the translations. Windows and Mac OS X builds are on the
+download page as usual, and OpenLP will filter down to the various Linux
+distributions over the next week or so.
+
+As more minor bugs are brought to our attention, we will endeavour to
+make future bugfix releases of OpenLP 2.0 until OpenLP 2.2 is released.
+If you think you have found a bug, please check the list of bugs on our
+Launchpad.net project page to see if yours already exists in our bug
+tracker: \ `OpenLP at
+Launchpad.net <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp>`_
+
+Speaking of OpenLP 2.2 (and on a more technical note), we have completed
+the migration of OpenLP from Python 2.7 to Python 3.3. This was a big
+step for us, as Python 3 is not backwards compatible with Python 2, and
+we had to make some changes to the codebase to take this into
+consideration.
+
+NB: While there will be ongoing talk of OpenLP 2.2, please do not use it
+for church! OpenLP 2.1 (the development version of 2.2) is unstable and
+WILL crash in the middle of your service. OpenLP 2.1 is NOT compatible
+with OpenLP 2.0, you may lose some or even all of your data. As soon as
+the code is more stable, we will start our release cycles again with
+alpha and beta releases for folks to try out.

+
+Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to present to you our first beta release of OpenLP 2.2. This new version,two years in
+the making, is packed full of new features, bug fixes, and improvements.
+
+We realise that this may not contain all the new features that people are looking for, but we're hoping to speed up the
+number of releases we make to around two releases per year. We're hoping in this way to be able to include more bugfixes
+and have a faster and more reliable release schedule. This way you don't have to wait 4 years for every new release, but
+there will be fewer new features per release in order to achieve this.
+
+Important Notes
+---------------
+
+OpenLP 2.1.1 is **not backwards compatible** with 2.0.5. Once you have upgraded from 2.0.5, version 2.0.5 cannot read
+the upgraded files. OpenLP 2.1.1 will make a backup on startup, but it is recommended that you make your own backup too.
+
+Upgrading from versions of OpenLP before 2.0.5 are not supported. You need to upgrade to 2.0.5 first, and make sure you
+run OpenLP at least once before continuing to upgrade to 2.1.1
+
+This is a beta release, which means it is not yet finished and likely to still contain a few bugs. Please test it out as
+much as you can (using a Portable build on Windows is a good way to do this) and report the bugs you find.
+
+Service Files created in 2.1.1 cannot be opened in 2.0
+
+System Requirements
+-------------------
+
+OpenLP's system requrements have been upgraded since the 2.0.5 release. Please take note:
+
+* Windows Vista and up
+* Mac OS X 10.8 and 10.9
+* Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10
+* Fedora 21

+
+It's finally here! After almost three years in development, the next major version of OpenLP has arrived!
+
+A lot of work has gone into making this new version more stable, less buggy and easier to use, resulting almost 300
+bugfixes and improvements. This version also sees some changes under the hood, in terms of moving to Python 3 and adding
+unit testing to increase the quality of the codebase.
+
+New Features
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+But, without further ado, here are the new features you'll find in OpenLP 2.2:
+
+Songs
+-----
+
+* Show active song title in preview and live pane
+* Allow authors to be tagged by their type (words music etc)
+* CCLI SongSelect integration
+* Importers
+
+  * ProPresenter 4
+  * Worship Assistant
+  * PowerPraise
+  * PresentationManager
+  * EasyWorship Service Files (.ews)
+  * WorshipCenter Pro
+
+* Songbook can be displayed in footer
+* Duplicate Songs can be identified and removed manually if required.
+* An improve Formatting Tags user interface
+
+Bibles
+------
+
+* New web bible: Neue evangelistische Übersetzung (German)
+* Importers
+
+  * Zefania XML format
+  * OSIS importer rewritten
+
+Presentations
+-------------
+
+* Support for presentations created in PDF format
+* Support for LibreOffice 4 and 5
+
+Projector Remote Control
+------------------------
+
+* Projectors that support the PJLink protocol can be controlled from OpenLP (On/Off/Blank/Source Select)
+
+Images
+------
+
+* Can be placed in groups and added to services as groups.
+
+Remote
+------
+
+* Supports SSL for all requests. Certificates will need to be created outside of OpenLP
+* Supports Authentication for all update requests
+* Display thumbnails and notes when available in the Web User Interface
+
+Custom
+------
+
+* Auto load items from saved services
+* Items can be created from the Service Manager for items like bibles
+
+Media
+-----
+
+* Support for DVD and CD clipselection and playback (requires VLC).
+
+Services
+--------
+
+* Items can be renamed
+* Custom Items generated from Text items like bibles
+* Media items can be configured to autoload and remove screen blank when added to live display
+* Services can be saved without embedding media files. This will limit the portability of the files but reduces the file size (useful when media files are part of the service).
+
+Internals
+---------
+
+* Upgraded the code to Python 3 from Python 2
+* Refactored and improved the internals to:
+
+  * Improve performance and start faster
+  * Improve reliability of the media functionality
+  * Increase testability and start to introduce a comprehensive test suite
+  * Improve consistency of the settings
+
+Important Notes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Incompatibilities
+-----------------
+
+**OpenLP 2.2 is not backwards compatible with 2.0.5.**
+
+**Service Files created in 2.2 cannot be opened in 2.0.**
+
+Once you have upgraded from 2.0.5, version 2.0.5 cannot read the upgraded files. OpenLP 2.2 will make a backup on
+startup, but it is recommended that you make your own backup too.
+
+Upgrading from versions of OpenLP before 2.0.5 are not supported. You need to upgrade to 2.0.5 first, and make sure
+you run OpenLP at least once before continuing to upgrade to 2.2.
+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+There are some known issues in OpenLP 2.2 that you should know about before upgrading:
+
+1. Live Backgrounds does not work on Windows and Mac OS X
+2. Playback of linked audio does not work on Mac OS X
+3. OpenLP on Linux will not start up if VLC is not installed. Simply install VLC to get around this problem.
+
+We plan to fix these issues in OpenLP 2.4. We're moving to a faster release cycle, which means that OpenLP 2.4 should be released in 6 to 12 months from now.
+
+Thanks
+^^^^^^
+
+As leader of the project, I'd like to say a special thank you to the folks involved in this release. A special thank you to Tomas Groth, Jonathan Springer and Tim Bentley for their help, encouragement and preseverence.

+"Why?" You may ask. Well there are times when a visiting preacher pops
+in 5 minutes before the service with his PowerPoint created
+presentation, and you find that he's using
+LatestWhizzyUnnecessaryFeature(tm) which just doesn't format correctly
+in Impress and you don't have time to fix it. Since PowerPoint costs
+money better spent elsewhere, and native PowerPoint viewer doesn't
+support dual screen, this hasn't left many options.

+So I spent some time trying to automate PowerPoint viewer. This will
+only work on Windows of course, and since the viewer isn't designed to
+be automated, it may have the occassional quirk. However I have managed
+to get basic support working in 2.0 as you probably can't see too well
+in the small low quality screenshot above!
+
+**Also a useful tip for Windows 7 dual screen users.** Sometimes you may
+want to display something on the projector which OpenLP doesn't yet
+support, maybe a webpage. However dragging it across the screen in full
+view of the congregation isn't very professional and is a bit hit and
+miss. I've discovered that Windows 7 has a new key combination to assist
+with this. If you press the Windows key, the shift key and the right
+cursor key all at the same time, this will move the current window to
+the other screen/projector. If you then press Windows key and up arrow,
+this will maximise the window... although some apps also support "F11"
+for fullscreen.

+OpenLP is getting closer and closer to the release of version 2.0. As we
+draw nearer to that date more and more of you are testing it out and
+that is great. Testing helps the developers fix both problems large and
+small before the final release. There are, however, a few things we as
+testers can do to help the process along.
+
+The preferred place to report bugs is through email to: bugs at
+openlp.org.
+
+Here are some thing that need to be included to speed the process up:
+
+-  First please read the Frequently Asked Questions.
+-  What Operating System you are using: Windows, Mac, Linux (please
+   include the distro also) OpenLP is crossplatform so this is very
+   important.
+-  Please include what build of OpenLP you are using, such as the
+   relases: Alpha 3, Alpha 4, etc. Or you may possibly be using a build
+   other than a release, you can find this info from Help -> About
+   OpenLP. An example of a build number is: 1.9.4-bzr1264 where 1264 is
+   the build number.
+-  Please also include how you got the release of OpenLP if you
+   downloaded a release, a nightly build, from your Linux distro's
+   package manager, or from bzr.
+-  If something such as a file import fails, please attach that file.
+-  If something looks wrong, missing, out of place, or something that is
+   hard to describe, please include a screenshot. Many times a picture
+   truly is worth a thousand words.
+-  Write in detail every step involved to make the occurrence happen.
+   Please write this in a very clear way so that someone can know
+   nothing about the issue and follow step by step how to replicate the
+   bug.
+-  After writing the detailed explanation of how to produce the bug,
+   follow that explanation before sending and make sure you can
+   replicate the results.
+-  Pleas also include the debug file, you can find info on how to do
+   that in the Frequently Asked Questions.
+
+Please also be courteous in your correspondence. Remember that all the
+developers are volunteers. They are donating their time and using their
+skills as programmers not just to make a living but also as a ministry.
+Since this is a part time endeavour for them please exercise patience.
+
+All the testing is very much appreciated, we are just trying to get the
+info to the developers in a way that will help them do the most with
+their time as they fix problems, and add new features. OpenLP 2.0 is set
+to be a fantastic release and that is due to the efforts of a wonderful
+community that is developing, testing, and using OpenLP.

+|LibreOffice Impress|
+
+As some of our users will have noted, `LibreOffice 4.1 was
+released <https://www.libreoffice.org/download/4-1-new-features-and-fixes>`_
+on the 25th of July. Included in this release are a whole lot of bug
+fixes and improvements, but one that stands out is an option that was
+added to Impress to aid in integration with OpenLP.
+
+As of LibreOffice 4.0, the presenter console extension became part of
+the core of LibreOffice, and OpenLP was not able to turn this off. Tim,
+one of our core developers, `submitted a
+bug <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56995>`_ to the
+LibreOffice bug tracker, and an Indian student named Manik Malhotra
+picked it up for part of his Google Summer of Code submission to
+LibreOffice. Many thanks to Tim for his ongoing push to make folks aware
+of the bug, and to Manik for writing the fix!
+
+As a result of being mentioned in the release notes, our website had a
+little bump in the amount of traffic it received on Thursday, Friday and
+Monday. Sundays are usually our busiest days (I wonder why?) but this
+past week it was Thursday, followed by Friday, followed by Monday. All
+three of those days beat the usual Sunday traffic.
+
+|OpenLP Website Traffic|
+
+Never heard of `LibreOffice <https://www.libreoffice.org/>`_?
+LibreOffice is an open source office suite, a free alternative to
+Microsoft Office. LibreOffice runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X, and
+can read and write most MS Office files. OpenLP supports displaying
+presentations using LibreOffice on Windows and Linux (OS X is
+unfortunately currently not supported).

+|Package|
+
+It has come to our attention recently that some folks, in order to use
+the goodness of LibreOffice 4.1 on Ubuntu, are using a LibreOffice PPA
+(personal package archive) which causes OpenLP to crash on startup. This
+seems to be due to a bug in the way LibreOffice is packaged in the PPA,
+as other Linux users on distributions such as Fedora and Arch are not
+encountering the problem.
+
+Please **do not install** LibreOffice from the PPA, it **WILL**
+break OpenLP.
+
+Folks, please note that ***OpenLP is currently not compatible with
+LibreOffice 4.x on Linux*** due to the fact that OpenLP uses Python 2.7
+and LibreOffice uses Python 3.2 which are incompatible. The next version
+of OpenLP, version 2.2, will be compatible with LibreOffice 4.x but
+unfortunately there is no way to backport this compatibility.

+Arch user I'm sure you are familiar with the AUR, but just in case check

+Ladies and gentlemen, I am extremely happy to announce that as from
+today you can install OpenLP in `Debian Linux <http://debian.org/>`_
+(unstable) by simply typing in ``apt-get install openlp`` - yes, that's
+right, OpenLP is in the Debian repositories.
+
+This is a really significant step for OpenLP because a number of the
+really popular Linux distributions are based on Debian, and thus OpenLP
+will filter down into distributions like Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Linux Mint
+in the near future. For instance, you should find OpenLP in Ubuntu 12.10
+when it comes out in October this year.

+
+Many thanks go to Joseph Mulloy who tirelessly working at it for many

+This week is only halfway through, and it has an exciting few days!
+First we found out that OpenLP has made it into Debian, and now I can
+proudly announce that OpenLP is part of Ubuntu as well (and Kubuntu,
+Lubuntu and Xubuntu by extension)!
+
+OpenLP is in the "main" repository for Ubuntu 12.10, which means that
+when you install Ubuntu, you can immediately install OpenLP too. No more
+PPAs or extra repositories to enable.
+
+We have also been able to get OpenLP "backported" into Ubuntu 12.04!
+This means that once you have enabled the "backports" repository (in
+Software Sources), you can also download and install OpenLP in Precise
+Pangolin.
+
+Don't forget that you can find OpenLP in openSUSE and Fedora too.

+    OpenLP one point nine point seven
+    It's like a match made in heaven,
+    With plenty new features
+    And fewer bug creatures.
+
+*(Stupid poem courtesy of Raoul - you can moan at him!)*
+
+**NB**: Please note that OpenLP does not work on OS X 10.7 Lion. This is
+a known issue, and we are working on a solution.
+
+It's release time again, and once again this new version will not
+disappoint. Along with over 79 bug fixes there have been a large number
+of features added.
+
+Moving on we hope the next release will either be the first Release
+Candidate, or the last beta.
+
+New features:
+
+-  Basic support for audio files on songs.
+-  Internal database upgrading (no more re-importing of your database).
+-  Drag and Drop support has been enhanced from the desktop into all
+   plugins and Services.
+-  It is now possible to change to the colour surrounding small images
+   used for themes or when displayed from a service.
+-  The Song database now records when a song is created and edited.
+-  Song Usage can now record when a song is used or printed.
+-  The Android client is now available on the Android Market
+-  More visible indication if song usage is active or not.
+-  Tooltips in the service manager, including theme name, notes and
+   media playing time.
+-  The spell checker is active in notes as well.
+-  The First Run Wizard can be re-run.
+-  Settings can be exported and imported.
+
+Major bugs that have been fixed:
+
+-  Render performance improvements.
+-  Image displaying performance improvement.
+-  Fixed JPEG support on Mac OS X 10.6.
+-  Formatting tags now work on second slide when slide is split.
+-  You can update the song's theme by double-clicking on the top level
+   item in the service manager after setting a new theme.
+-  The manual is now packaged with OpenLP on Windows.
+-  Various fixes around the First Run Wizard, including better handling
+   of no connectivity.
+-  Various fixes for the Bible and songs imports.

+Yes folks, that moment has finally arrived! I have released openlp.org
+1.0 beta 6. This is the last beta release of openlp.org, the next
+release will be Release Candidate 1, where we hope to have the majority
+of bugs out of the system.
+
+One of the big highlights of this new release is the translation. Want
+openlp.org in your own translation? Just copy the english.xml file, open
+it and replace the strings in there with translations of your own
+language, import the new xml file, and then select your new translation!
+
+There are a number of other small improvements here and there, including
+a few feature requests. Plenty bugs have been squashed too, although I
+doubt it's all of them.
+
+Well, download openlp.org from the download page, and post your bugs to
+the forum topic.

+ok, some people are probably wondering a bit about this latest "release"
+of openlp.org.
+
+i have released a prelimiary binary that i have which gets rid of that
+annoying powerpoint error, as well as a few other bugs. unfortunately it
+doesn't get rid of the big one where you can't get songs from your order
+of service live (though if you double-click on a song in the song list
+on the right, it will go live).
+
+i'm waiting for the last few components from tim, and then i'll be
+working to get rid of those last few bugs. then i'll release RC1, and we
+can all have a good go a bashing it until it breaks.
+
+once again, i'll take your bug reports (only, this is a release
+candidate, not a new version) and fix openlp.org up again, and then
+release it again. and so on and so forth until i'm happy with it, and
+then we'll release the final version.
+
+on the openlp.org 2.0 side of things, i've received one or two offers of
+help, but i'm looking for a team of about 6 people to work on it.
+unfortunately i myself don't have time to do much development (with 2
+courses and all my involvement at church it doesn't leave much time for
+other things), but i will be managing the project actively. we're using
+delphi 7.
+
+please contact me at raoul[at]openlp.org if you're interested in helping

+bugs which have just shown up, and thus i decided to rather create
+another beta release that people could use in the mean time.
+
+also, i've released a database importer, many thanks to Eric Searcy for
+putting that together!
+
+download, have fun!

+hi guys and gals,
+
+i've taken over development of openlp.org 1.0 from tim, since he's too
+busy to do it at the moment. i'm looking at it right now, and as soon as
+i get one or two issues sorted out, i'm gonna release it.
+

+Hi Folks,
+
+| Apologies for the silence, things have been busy.
+
+I have now finally finished my studies. Well, I've written the exam and
+I feel it went pretty well, so I'm optimistic that I've passed. I'm also
+doing no extra contract work at the moment, leaving me more time to
+devote to other things, like my fiance and openlp.org.
+
+And talking of openlp.org, the exciting news is that there has been some
+major development going on, thanks to Derek. He's had some free time
+recently and has been fixing some of the larger bugs. He's had a go at
+the PowerPoint stuff and seems to have fixed it (I know that a lot of
+people are going to be happy about that), and he's reworked the themes
+to be much more efficient and intuitive.
+
+Now that my studies are over, I'm going to resume concentrating on the
+translation side of things, since that's been another much-requested
+feature. However we are going to release beta 4 first, to get the
+important fixes out there first. Then once the translation is done we're
+gonna release beta 5.
+
+Beta 5 will be the last beta, and we're gonna go on to the release
+candidate stage after that. So please test it out and report bugs using
+the bug reporting forum.
+
+On a personal note, I'm without work again. The company I'm working for
+is closing down their development section, and so my contract ends at
+the end of november. That said and done, I already have 3 interviews
+lined up over the next couple of days, so any prayers would be
+appreciated.
+
+Well, that's all from this corner of the globe! God bless!

+I'm back from honeymoon, and feeling relaxed and refreshed. I was
+pleased to see all the bug reports and related requests when I got back.
+Thanks to you folks, openlp.org is being put through it's paces and
+refined into an almost bug-free piece of software.
+
+So I just wanted to say thanks to all those folks who have been
+rigorously testing openlp.org to see that it meets their requirements
+and operates without problems. Without you folks we wouldn't be able to
+put out such a fine piece of software (if I might say so myself).
+
+Please continue to test openlp.org, and send us bug reports (if we don't
+have them already), Derek and I would like to kill as many bugs as
+possible in RC5, probably have an RC6 to make sure we have no more bugs
+left, and then release the final version.

+just a quick message to show you a screen of what openlp.org in C++ is
+looking like. As you can see, most of the main window is implemented -

+So, over the last few months I've been doing more and more C++, and have
+been loving working with it. As my time is freeing up a little bit with
+regard to doing personal projects again, I've started work on a Cross
+Platform version of openlp.org based on the wxWidgets framework. The
+progress so far is stellar, in 3 days I've nailed most of the
+fundamental GUI features, and hopefully this completely open development
+platform will open up opportunities for more people to work on the
+project. I'll start uploading source into SVN in the next few days. The
+big advantage of this framework, for the non-techies among you, is that
+it can compile to binary on Mac, Linux and Windows; with support for all
+the libraries that openlp.org needs.
+
+Oh and you can see my band, Glass Darkly in concert live at CreationFest
+this summer - or any number of other places around the UK, and the US.
+Keep tabs on the website for more info.
+
+I'll keep you posted on any new developments.

+A couple of developers have tried in the past, and run into various

+
+You can download OpenLP for openSUSE by visiting the download page and
+clicking on the link for your version of openSUSE.
+
+Please note that you will not be able to import songs or Bibles from
+openlp.org 1.x as dependencies for this functionality are not present
+within openSUSE. Should you need this, please e-mail your database to
+support[at]openlp.org and the support team will try to convert them for
+you.

+To give a little bit of history: a big item for our OpenLP 1.9.6 (Beta
+2) release was to fix the JPEG support on Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6), not
+just on Leopard (OS X 10.5) - see this ticket. But it turns out that was
+not that easy to fix, as during packaging OpenLP it somehow get left
+out. For packaging we are using PyInstaller which does support packaging
+for OS X, but in this particular case the libraries were not being
+packaged correctly. Because of this bug in PyInstaller, fixing this
+issue was delayed until after the official release date of Beta 2. Kudos
+goes to Martin for fixing that issue:
+
+http://www.pyinstaller.org/ticket/373
+
+Now that the official fix is available, we have repacakged OpenLP for
+OS X, and made it available as OpenLP 1.9.6.1, a special release for
+Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) with JPEG support. This now enables users of
+Snow Leopard to use the JPEG format in images and theme backgrounds.
+Here's a direct download link:
+
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/openlp/files/openlp/1.9.6/OpenLP-1.9.6.1.dmg/download
+
+Enjoy!
+
+To answer a recent question about OS X 10.7, aka Lion: unfortunately
+at this point in time we cannot estimate when OpenLP will be officially
+supported on Lion (OS X 10.7). Currently the GUI toolkit we use (Qt) has
+some glitches on that new version of OS X that need to be fixed before
+we can create an official OpenLP package for Lion. But as you can see,
+we are working on it!

+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 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.

+YES! The moment has FINALLY arrived!
+
+We are very proud to present openlp.org version 1.0. We've waited a long
+time for this, and I'm not going to lie to you, we're very excited about
+this release. Over the last few years openlp.org has transformed from a
+small and seemingly insignificant open source application, to the most
+featureful open source lyrics projection solution (or so I've been
+told).
+
+For those of you who are eager to get hold of it, you can download it
+from our download page.
+
+Some of the features you'll find in openlp.org 1.0:
+
+-  Projection of:
+
+   -  Songs
+   -  Bible verses
+   -  PowerPoint presentations
+   -  Videos
+   -  Images
+
+-  Custom slides
+-  Timed congregational alerts
+-  Themes:
+
+   -  Solid colour, gradient, and image backgrounds
+   -  Text shadow and outline effects
+
+-  Translatable interface
+-  Importing:
+
+   -  Themes
+   -  openlp.org Songs
+   -  OpenSong songs
+   -  Bibles from CSV
+   -  Language translations
+
+-  Exporting:
+
+   -  Themes
+   -  Songs
+
+-  Setting up, saving, and loading of orders of service
+
+Please take this opportunity to spread the word about openlp.org.
+
+Finally, I personally would like to extend a BIG thank you to Derek
+Scotney (my partner in crime, I mean, development), Jonathan Corwin (he
+likes to break openlp.org and report the bugs to us, hence becoming our
+lead tester), David Bunce (heading up support, taking time to respond to
+people's questions about openlp.org), Richard Banks (web hosting, and
+this brilliant new site design), and all the rest of the folks in the
+community that have helped us get to where we are today.
+
+And finally, a word from the Word of Life:
+
+|  33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
+|            How unsearchable his judgments,
+|            and his paths beyond tracing out!
+|   34 "Who has known the mind of the Lord?
+|            Or who has been his counselor?"
+|   35 "Who has ever given to God,
+|            that God should repay him?"
+|   36 For from him and through him and to him are all things.
+|            To him be the glory forever! Amen.
+
+Romans 11:33-36 (New International Version)

+Hello everyone!
+
+Yes, it's finally arrived, openlp.org 1.0.1: the bugfix! We're sorry
+it's taken so long to get here, but it's full of fixes and enhancements.
+Thanks to relentless testing by Jonathan Corwin and his team, we've
+managed to kill bugs we would have never normally found. Below is a list
+of the changes in openlp.org 1.0.1.
+
+**NB**: Please note that the code used to display songs and bible verses
+**has** changed, so that a few bugs could be squashed. Unfortunately
+this means that your song and Bible verse text is going to look smaller
+than it used to (in most cases). The font size % is now a true
+percentage, whereas before it was an estimation.
+
+-  Rewrote display code to fix a number of spacing and overlapping
+   issues.
+-  Updated look of all toolbars to make button states clearer.
+-  Blanking/unblanking issues resolved.
+-  Various "List index out of bounds (1)" errors fixed.
+-  Fixed importing of songs from Order of Service files.
+-  Fixed Bible import wizard "Verses File" bug.
+-  Fixed up various PowerPoint issues.
+-  Fixed up various song import and export bugs.
+-  Fixed up various song display bugs.
+-  Added blanking functionality for images.
+-  Fixed Order of Service saving issues (missing songs, double quotes,
+   etc).
+-  Fixed selected-then-deleted theme issue.
+-  Added various hourglass cursors to indicate work being done.
+-  Ordered various drop-downs alphabetically, ignoring case.
+-  Fixed Cancel button on Custom Slide dialog.
+-  First Time Wizard never ran.
+-  Theme error handling updated.
+-  Fixed a few song-saving issues.
+-  Added spanish interface translation, thanks to Josué Zúñiga. 
+
+Many thanks to Derek for all his hard work, setting aside time to work
+on openlp.org!

+and some themes, but we'd like more languages, and a wider variety of

+Yet another bugfix release. This one, however, pulls in a fix for a bug
+in an external component use to import CSV bibles, and does some fancy
+footwork around PowerPoint (again).
+
+Here's a complete list of fixes:
+
+-  Corrected the Bible CSV import bug where verses containing comma's
+   were not imported properly
+-  Added \*.mp4 to the list of video file extensions
+-  Powerpoint XP compatibility updated
+-  Changed Powerpoint handling so that if an instance of Powerpoint is
+   already running at startup, that is used instead of trying to create
+   a new instance. Also, in this case, Powerpoint will not be shut down
+   when OpenLP closes
+-  Fixed Author import bug from .usr SongSelect files

+Over the last few months about 8 people have been quietly working on a
+new version of openlp.org: Version 2.0. This version is being written in
+Python, so that it will work on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X - a feature
+that has been requested many times.
+
+In addition to being cross-platform, openlp.org 2.0 has a plugin system,
+where people can write their own plugins if they wish. These plugins
+hook into openlp.org and allow plugin developers to do the same things
+that the core system does. In fact, the core system (Songs, Bible
+verses, etc) are all plugins themselves.
+
+One thing about writing these applications that is frustrating, is that
+when you start developing them you have to write a lot of code that
+doesn't appear on the user interface. You need to basically lay a base
+for the program, and only afterward when you get to the user interface
+part, can you see the fruits of your labour.
+
+I'm pleased to say that we are starting to see the fruits of our labour!
+Last night I got the Songs plugin to show it's panel in the Media
+manager, and to show the song edit window when you click on the Edit
+button. It might not sound like much, but we've had to do a fair amount
+of coding just to get to that point.
+
+Unfortunately we do still have a lot of work to do, but it's good to see
+that we're getting somewhere.

+Hello everyone,
+
+As Raoul has already announced testing time is here. I have been asked
+to help organize this effort. I have a pretty good list of possible
+testers, but the more the merrier.  I have already emailed many of you,
+if I haven't yet I will be getting to that soon (its a holiday weekend
+in the States and I've been more out of pocket than I thought). Here is
+a link for some info on testing openlp.org. If you are interested in
+testing just send me PM from the openlp.org site. Any help we can get
+will be greatly appreciated!

+We're arranging another developer meeting in the #openlp.org IRC channel
+to discuss openlp.org version 2.x. We've tentatively arranged it for
+Monday 19th May at 20:00 GMT. Since I know that time zones have changed
+recently in some countries, if an alternate time would suit you, please
+let us know on the openlp-devel mailing list or in a private message to
+me on the site.
+
+On a side note, we're fixing up the last few bugs in 1.0.1 and are
+hoping to release it soon. I know I've said that a few times already,
+but both Derek and myself have been really busy and tied up with work
+recently, and haven't had much of a chance to work on openlp.org. As you
+know, we do this all in our spare time, thanks to our very patient wives
+and families.
+
+Please keep Derek in your prayers, things at his workplace are not that
+great, resulting in him sometimes still being at work at 9pm in the
+evening. I'm really impressed that he manages to get time to work on
+openlp.org, and I'm really amazed at his level of dedication.

+This morning I was not on sound/data projector duty at church, so my
+wife and I decided to take it easy and arrive just before the service
+(instead of an hour or half an hour beforehand, as usual). However,
+unbeknownst to me, but beknownst to my pastor, the people on duty didn't
+rock up. So on our way to church, my wife gets a phone call from said
+pastor.
+
+"There's no sound coming out of the speakers... how do we fix  that?"
+
+So I had to trouble-shoot remotely via my wife. Of course this never
+really works (at least not in my experience) and so I had to hurry to
+church (while keeping to the speed limits along the way of course),
+instead of taking a leisurely drive. Somehow I knew that if there was a
+problem with the sound system, then chances were that there would be a
+problem with the data projector as well.
+
+We got there 10 minutes before the service was due to begin, and I saw
+that not only was the person on sound duty not there, but the data
+projector was unattended as well. Thankfully, a friend who operates the
+sound from time to time had stepped in and was helping out there, so I
+quickly hopped in at the computer, opened openlp.org, and started
+setting up the service.
+
+Unfortunately the service started before I had selected all the Bible
+readings for the sermon (our pastors like having the verses up on the
+screen while they're preaching), but I wasn't worried about that.
+Whenever I got a chance, I'd just add the next verse selection. No
+problem with openlp.org's everything-in-one interface.
+
+The part which took the longest was not setting up the service, but
+rather finding the correct verses. Our pastor that was preaching this
+morning has a habit of saying he's reading one verse, when he's actually
+reading 3 verses on, or in a different chapter altogether!
+
+This reminds me of another service, where the preacher had not given me
+a list of all the verses in his sermon, and I was pulling verses on the
+fly. Wow. I would not have been able to do that with another projection
+application. openlp.org's interface makes it easy to show adhoc things
+on the fly.
+
+Have you got a story to tell? Why don't you comment on this post and
+tell me your story.

+
+It will import from straight text files, or from ZIP files containing
+loads of OpenSong files.  Note that, unfortunately, there's something
+weird about importing files with non-ascii characters in their filenames
+from zipfiles which I haven't got to the bottom of yet.  This causes the

+Anyway, testers - have at it!

+Unfortunately it seems that the 2.0 release of OpenLP didn't go quite as
+smoothly as planned, and a few bugs crept into the release just a few
+days before the deadline. Fortunately we've been able to track these
+bugs down and fix them.
+
+The bugs we've fixed are:
+
+-  Song export and import now works correctly
+-  Transparent themes are once again transparent
+-  PowerPoint/lmpress files with unicode characters in the filename can
+   be imported
+-  OpenLP is now more usable with the XFCE desktop on Linux
+
+Please note that it will still be necessary to use an older version of
+VLC on OS X (2.0.3) as more recent versions are still troublesome (2.0.4
+and 2.0.5) and we are attempting to rectify the problem.
+
+We hope that despite the name, this version is less buggy than the
+previous one and that you can use it with confidence during your acts of
+worship.
+
+As usual, you can grab this release from the `download
+page <http://openlp.org/download>`__. The torrents, portable versions
+and various Linux packages will be updated over the next week or so.

+|Download OpenLP Open Source Free Worship Projection Presentation
+Software|
+
+Tracking usage of OpenLP is incredibly difficult. Because it is an open
+source project, there are no registrations to check, you don't know how
+many times OpenLP has been copied and given to other people. So we don't
+ever have a true idea of how many churches are using OpenLP.
+
+Tracking downloads is also quite difficult due to OpenLP being available
+in a number of distribution channels. We know roughly how many downloads
+there are of the Windows and OS X versions because most folks just
+download them from our SourceForge.net mirrors. There are a couple of
+BitTorrent downloads, which we cannot track, but it is such a small
+download that most folks just do a direct download.
+
+Tracking downloads for the various Linux distributions is far tricker,
+as there are no download statistics available. We cannot retrieve any
+number from FreeBSD, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian or Arch. Having said that,
+we do have a PPA (Personal Package Archive) on Launchpad.net for our
+Ubuntu users, and we are able to track those downloads.
+
+So, using the data we **do** have available to us, we can surmise that
+as of the time of posting, OpenLP 2.0.1 has been downloaded **43,781**
+times. That's over *forty thousand* times! The real figure is probably a
+lot higher, thanks to the downloads we can't track, but this still gives
+us a rough idea of the impact of OpenLP.
+
+If you haven't downloaded OpenLP yet, `DO IT
+NOW <http://openlp.org/download>`_!

+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 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.

+Following the success of alpha1 and comments in testing, a number of
+improvements have been added:
+
+-  Images and bible verses can be added to existing service manager
+   items (of the same type) by using the context menu within the plugin.
+-  It is now possible to re-order and delete images within an Image
+   service item.
+-  In the latest release it is possible to add multiple songs,
+   presentations, media and custom items to the service manager.  This
+   can be achieved either by drag and drop or the context menu.
+-  In single screen mode it is possible to turn off the main display. 
+   This would be useful setting up a service on a single screen machine.
+
+Please note that services saved in alpha1 will not be able to be loaded
+by a post alpha1 build.  This is due to internal changes in the storage
+of the data.  I hoped that post alpha2 the format will be backward
+compatible.

+but 1.9.8 and up will be.
+
+Don't forget, we support all flavours of Ubuntu, including Kubuntu,
+Xubuntu and Lubuntu. Mint Linux is also supported, as long as you are
+using the standard edition, not the Debian edition (the Debian edition
+should work too, but it doesn't work directly from the PPA). We also
+support all releases from 10.04 and up, so don't worry if you want to
+stick to the LTS releases of Ubuntu, we still support you!
+
+To download OpenLP 1.9.7 for Ubuntu 10.04 to 11.10, go to our download
+page and add the PPA to your software sources. To download a nightly
+build (testers and adventurous users only!) of OpenLP, go to the

+hi folks,
+
+FINALLY! i have managed to get rid of the last few bugs (that i know of)
+in openlp.org, and i'm about to release RC1 (Release Candidate 1). i'm
+waiting on the documentation guys to update the help file with the few
+changes that there are, and then i'll release the install file.
+
+i'm looking for someone who has delphi 7.0 (not personal) and who would
+like to write an importer application to import songs from one
+openlp.org database to another. it shouldn't be too much work (probably
+about 5 hours max), but i don't have the time at the moment to work on
+it. if you'd like to help, pop me an e-mail and let me know.
+
+well, that's all for now, thanks for your patience.
+
+raoul.

+As you might have noticed, openlp.org has stagnated again. My profuse
+apologies, this was due to an error with PowerPoint that I was not sure
+how to solve. I didn't have PowerPoint installed, so I could not figure
+what the problem was.
+
+Well, this evening I eventually **did** install PowerPoint, and
+recompiled openlp.org, and it seems to have solved the problem. I also
+added the CCLI license number to the slides, and fixed up a bit of the
+positioning of the informational text at the bottom of the slides.
+
+Unfortunately, there still seem to be a few issues with PowerPoint not
+displaying properly, and focussing problems. I'll be meeting with Tim on
+Tuesday evening to see if we can get past those last few hurdles, and
+then RC1 should be good to go.
+
+On a side note, please could you keep both Tim and myself in your
+prayers.
+
+-  Tim is due to get married in July, he's got his studies, and then he
+   also has work to contend with. He's gonna be taking a much lesser
+   role in the development and administration of the project due to his
+   commitments.
+-  I am between jobs at the moment, and with no fixed income and bills
+   looming, things are not looking bright financially. I'm still
+   suffering from the financial burdens of last year (including my car's
+   clutch giving in which was expensive to fix), and therefore this does
+   not bode well. I have a confirmed job, the company just is not yet
+   ready for me (long story - mail me if you wanna know), and it's
+   starting to get serious.

+Hi All
+
+Well, I hope that for at least some of you RC3 brought with it some new
+useful features. There seemed to be quite a few people wanting a Bible
+Verse enhancement and that was one of the main changes in RC3 that was
+released this past weekend.
+
+Coming in RC4 will be the last of the additional features we decided
+were "have to have's" for a full version 1. These include a migration of
+the theme data out of the songs database and into the theme directory in
+XML format. Also, the ability to both import and export themes. If we
+can twist Raoul's arm a bit, maybe we can add a "theme's" section to the
+website where you can submit your theme creations for other to download
+and use.
+
+RC4 will also see the old "Alerts" feature from 0.994 coming back as
+well as a "custom slide" which can be used for
+Liturgy/Announcements/etc. We also want to add it a fixed font size
+option which many of you want.
+
+We would like to get **your input** on one issue though. At some stage
+we need to do a database migration from SQLite version 2.8 that we are
+currently using, to version 3. This will require us putting together
+possibly an external tool which will need to be run to migrate the song
+data from the current song database into the new v3 database. What we
+would like to find out from you is whether we should put do this
+migration now, before v1, or post v1. The reason we are asking you to
+make the call for us, is because we plan to do a big launch for v1. This
+will mean that if the DB migration happens after v1, there will be many
+more of you doing migrations. It shouldn't be much of an issue to do the
+migration, but what are your feelings? Raoul will put a poll up on the
+website where you can give us your opinion.
+
+Thanks, in advance.
+
+Derek.

+|OpenLP 2.0 Release Candidate 1|
+
+We are very proud to announce the first release candidate for OpenLP
+2.0, codename "Admirable Anna". This new release, version 1.9.10, is a
+preview of what the final version of OpenLP will look like. This release
+does not contain any major new features, and mostly consists of bug
+fixes and minor enhancements. There will be no more development on
+features in this version, all new development will happen in the next
+version of OpenLP.
+
+Minor features and enhancements in OpenLP 1.9.10
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* OpenLP now has a portable version in PortableApps.com form
+* Users can now set a custom location for their data files
+* DreamBeam song importer
+* PowerSong importer
+* ZionWorx CSV song importer
+* Improved rendering times
+* Keep/restore selected book, chapters and verses when changing the bible translation in advanced search
+* Added a dialog to edit metadata of Bibles, and additional language options.
+* UI and usability improvements to the web remote
+
+Major bugs fixed in OpenLP 1.9.10:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* The new BibleGateway web site was causing issues with the web Bible importer
+* OpenLP did not exit properly on some Windows systems
+* Disabled VLC integration on FreeBSD due to it not being supported by VLC
+* Theme wizard now uses the current output display geometry when creating a thumbnail for a theme
+* Fixed a problem where newly imported Bibles would throw an error
+* Fixed most of the issues surrounding the progress bar for videos
+
+Known issues:
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When using song imports, if the filename or its folder contains
+non-ascii characters, then this may cause a crash. A workaround is to
+rename the file/use a different folder with plain a-z characters. Only
+affects imports from openlp.org 1.x, OpenLP 2.0, EasySlides,
+EasyWorship, PowerSong, and ZionWorx.
+
+Getting Ready for the Final Release of OpenLP 2.0
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Web Site
+^^^^^^^^
+
+Are you a web designer? Do you know Drupal? We need you!
+
+We're looking for a web designer who knows Drupal to redesign our web
+site for the upcoming OpenLP 2.0 launch later this year. We will be
+upgrading the web site to Drupal 7, and moving our forums over to
+Vanilla Forums, so we need someone who at least has experience with
+Drupal 7, and possibly experience with Vanilla Forums too. The theme
+needs to be based on our new logo and the colour scheme that goes with
+it. We can provide you with the SVG file, and any other help you need.
+
+We're also looking for some people who can help maintain the site. This
+isn't a huge job, thanks to Drupal, but we do need folks who can
+troubleshoot any bugs that arise (there have been a couple since our
+recent upgrade to Drupal 6), and update the Drupal installation with
+newer versions of modules and the Drupal core when new minor releases
+come out.
+
+Release Parties
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Some people have also mentioned having regional release parties, similar
+to the Ubuntu Linux release parties. Please go ahead and try to organise
+a release party in your area, to celebrate the long-awaited final
+release of OpenLP 2.0. Release parties don't have to be anything fancy,
+just a couple of folk meeting somewhere to celebrate the new release of
+OpenLP 2.0 in a few months.
+
+    There was also a prophet, Anna, the daughter of Penuel, of the tribe
+    of Asher. She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven
+    years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was
+    eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day,
+    fasting and praying. Coming up to them at that very moment, she gave
+    thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking
+    forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
+
+    Luke 2:36-38 NIV

+Yep, we've released RC3. This includes a (hopefully) fixed PowerPoint
+bug. Neither Derek nor I are getting it anymore, so we figure it's

+
+Derek also rewrote the bible verse selection section, and added the
+ability to add more than 1 verse to a slide... just select 2 or 3 verses
+and click on the "Add to order of service" button, and it'll appear on 1
+slide. Also, if you look in the options window, you'll see that there's

+Hi All. Release Candidate 5 has now been released. Due to the nature
+of some of the issues/problems raised in RC4, we felt that we should add
+an additional RC version before going to a full V1.0. This was mainly
+due to a lot of rewriting of code to sort out some of the 'little
+quirks'.
+
+The main issues corrected were:
+
+* A theme import/export problem (involving the delete option)
+* In the Bible verse 'Verse' layout mode, verses are not split across slides
+* A Bible verse bug seen in imported Bibles was fixed
+* A bug in the deleting of songs was fixed
+* Auto Open Last OOS feature was fixed
+* Missing last slide character bug was fixed
+
+For all you Vista users out there, the missing DLL (d3drm.dll) that
+was causing issues, will now be installed if you are running on Vista.
+It has also been confirmed that Powerpoint in Office 2007 is compatible
+with OpenLP.org.
+
+With any luck, this will now be the last release before V1.0.
+
+God bless, Derek.

+It's a plain fact: SourceForge.net's servers suck. We moved the site
+away from them, we've moved our project management tools away from them,
+and I think I might just move entirely away from them.
+
+I'm on dialup here at home. Which is slow. So it takes a HECK of a long
+time to upload the 7.5 megabyte install file for openlp.org. So you can
+imagine how unimpressed I am that the file upload failed at 95%. You can
+imagine then that I'm even less impressed with the fact that you cannot

+wait 24 hours before the is automatically deleted. And that for some or
+other unknown reason I cannot log in to the shell server to upload the
+file there and then move it across to the upload server.
+
+So, as much as I am ready for a Friday release, SourceForge.net's
+pathetic service is not. So please be patient while I wait.

+
+From near the beginning there has been some form of remote control
+functionality in OpenLP V2. At first it was just a basic command line
+utility. Then we developed the basic Web view which although functional,
+wasn't very pretty.
+
+Well in recent weeks remote operation has been getting some more much
+needed attention, in the shape of a new design targetting mobiles, an
+Android App and a Stage View.
+
+First Raoul worked his designer magic on the Web Interface giving it a
+shiny new look which was easy to use on a smartphone. As more and more
+people now own an iPhone, Blackberry or Android phone and the number of
+Churches with Wi-Fi connections are increasing, this offers much more
+flexibility in the operation of OpenLP. If the worship leader decides to
+skip a song, with a couple of buttons she can put the correct song on
+the screen. The car park attendant or nursery supervisor can easily put
+a message on the screen over the network from their phones.
+
+The next person to take advantage of the remote functionality was Samuel
+Sjöbergsson who has started writing an Android OpenLP app. With help
+from Johan Mynhardt and Tim it is making good progress and it is great
+to see two new developers join the team. It is still very early days,
+but we're looking forward to the potential of this app. We're not yet
+ready to put this in the Android Market, but if you want to take an
+early peek at what has been done so far, you can download it from
+launchpad.
+
+Finally in the latest nightly builds, you will find the most recent
+addition. A Stage View. For those who don't know, this is a specially
+designed output for those people on the stage. They don't need all the
+whizzy background graphics, they just want a plain view of the current
+and perhaps the next verse and an indication of which verse they are on.
+A clock helps them to know when to stop, and perhaps some notes to act
+as a reminder.
+
+We've had a few feature requests for this, but because of the complexity
+of adding support for a third monitor, and the relatively few users who
+have three video outputs, we've not considered it high priority. Then
+came the realisation that this could be easily achieved with the remote
+API, and I set about writing a simple page to prove the concept. So not
+only can this then be opened in a full screen web browser on your third
+monitor (if you are lucky enough to have one), but you can save the
+expense of lots of video cabling and instead open it on another Laptop
+or Tablet on the network.
+
+To use the remote functionality, first go into Settings -> Plugin List,
+and Activate the Remote plugin. To view the web address, go to Settings
+-> Configure OpenLP, choose the Remote page and the hyperlinks should be
+displayed.
+
+We would love to know if you make use of any of these remote options,
+and also tell us your ideas on how we could improve them or of any
+limitations that might be stopping you from using them.

+Well folks, we've reached another milestone with OpenLP 2.0 - revision
+700. And not only have we reached a big revision, the Bibles plugin is
+now better than before!
+
+The importer has been reworked, both interface-wise and code-wise. It
+features a Wizard style interface, well known in computer interfaces
+these days, making it faster and easier to use the importer. The code
+has been changed fairly dramatically now as well, to facilitate a
+pluggable import system, where developers can easily add new importers
+with little hacking.
+
+General searching has also been improved. We've reduced the number of
+times verses are pulled from the database, opting for an all-in-one-go
+approach, which should speed up the displaying of Bible verses,
+especially when displaying dual verses.
+
+There are a few other fixes hidden in there too, but the work on the
+Bibles plugin is the most prominent feature of this revision.

+Since I've been redoing the Bibles, I've been selecting ridiculously
+large ranges of verses to test out my other code, and I've been getting
+fed up with how long it took to fetch all the verses in order to display
+them.
+
+Let me explain a bit of the process first. When you do a search for
+verses, it doesn't actually fetch the verses at that time. It just runs
+through the database and sees how many verses there are, and then shows
+that to you. Only when you use the "Preview," "Go Live!" or "Add to
+order of service" does openlp.org actually fetch the text of the verses.
+
+So what would happen is that I would select about 8 chapters' worth of
+verses, which amounts to about 150 to 200 verses, and when I clicked on
+"Preview" it would take anything from 30 seconds to more than a minute
+to fetch those verses. Nope, that's not satisfactory for me, I decided.
+So this evening I sat down and decided to rewrite the code completely.
+
+The rewritten code is definitely more complicated than the old code, but
+now instead of fetching each and every verse by itself, my code writes a
+bit of a crazy SQL query, which then fetches all the verses at once. A
+much more elegant solution, and MUCH faster. It now takes less than 5
+seconds to fetch those 150 to 200 verses.
+
+Unfortunately most of you will probably not notice much of a difference.
+I think most passages are only a few verses long... usually no longer
+than about 20 verses, so the performance gain will not be significant.
+However, it should be far faster now for the minority who like to read
+300 verses in a go .

+We've run into a couple of unforseen problems with the Bibles. Some
+translations use different names for some books. Some translations are

+rewriting how the Bibles work. We used to have an abbreviations file
+which we'd use when you're doing a Bible search using a book's
+abbreviation, and then the full search version of the Bibles page used
+to use that abbreviations file for it's lookup list.
+
+So now we're making the Bibles self-contained. Each Bible file will
+contain it's own abbreviation table, and instead of doing a text lookup
+on the name of the book in the verses table, we'll get the id of the
+book from the abbreviation table (which has become a fully-fledged book
+table) and use that for the lookup.
+
+So, for those interested, here are the create statements (SQLite) for
+the tables in the new format Bible files:
+
+.. code:: SQL
+
+    CREATE TABLE testament (
+        id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
+        name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL
+    )
+
+    CREATE TABLE book (
+       id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
+       testament_id INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1,
+       name VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL,
+       abbreviation VARCHAR(5)
+    )
+
+    CREATE TABLE verse (
+       id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
+       book_id INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1,
+       chapter INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1,
+       verse INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1,
+       text BLOB
+    )
+
+What's great about this new format is that if you are Spanish, you can
+have all the names of the books in Spanish! So not only do you get
+openlp.org in Spanish (through the Language interface) but you can also
+have the Bible in Spanish.
+
+Ok, let me get back to openlp.org...

+.. title: Roadmap: openlp.org 1.0, 1.2, and beyond...
+.. slug: 2008/01/14/roadmap-openlporg-10-12-and-beyond
+.. date: 2008-01-14 19:01:01 UTC

+
+I was going to reply to the Cairo graphics library topic in the
+discussion forums, but my answer started getting too long, and I decided
+to rather blog about the roadmap of openlp.org, since in essence that's
+what was being proposed in that forum topic.
+
+Full steam ahead for version 1.0!
+
+So, our top priority at the moment is version 1.0, and getting it out
+the door at the end of this month. We have indeed worked long and hard
+on openlp.org, to get it to a state where it is a stable, reliable,
+feature-full application that contains the features that 90% of churches
+out there are going to need on a Sunday.
+
+So, no more features, just bug fixes, and then out the door with version
+1.0.
+
+Version 1.2: Featuritis is the name of the game!
+
+Next up on the list is version 1.2. Internally, there are a number of
+improvements that can be made to openlp.org. While they won't
+necessarily seem to make a difference externally, it will make our lives
+developing and maintaining openlp.org easier. Once we're done with the
+code clean up, we'll start entertaining feature requests again.
+
+Of course, we will do our best to incorporate as many of the new feature
+requests as possible, but some will fall by the wayside. We need to be
+realistic. Once again, version 1.2 will only run on Windows. We realise
+that there have been a large number of requests for a cross platform
+version, but the current version of openlp.org is tied down to Windows.
+There's no way we can convert it to a cross platform version.
+
+Cross platform, coming right up in version 2.x!
+
+A while back I started thinking about a cross-platform version of
+openlp.org. However, I didn't see that much of a demand, and since I was
+rather involved in getting version 1.0 going, I was glad I didn't have
+to think about it.
+
+Over the years, however, we've had request after request:
+
+-  "Does it work on Mac OS X?"
+-  "I downloaded openlp.org, but I can't run it in Linux"
+
+So, we're definintely going to develop a cross platform version. There's
+just one problem: it has to be from scratch. As I mentioned before,
+openlp.org currently is not portable at all. It's glued firmly to
+Windows.
+
+The cross platform version will most probably be written in C++,
+although I've entertained the idea of using Python. We're not there yet,
+so I'm still thinking about it (and I'd love to have your input on it,
+if you've got anything to say on the matter). We'll also use one of the
+cross platform graphics libraries, like SDL or Cairo, so that openlp.org
+becomes truly platform-independent.
+
+**Update:** At a developer meeting we decided to use Python, as it would
+be simpler and easier to implement a plugin system.
+
+Of course because we have to rewrite openlp.org from scratch, openlp.org
+2.0 is going to take a long time to develop. If you are interested in
+helping out with the cross platform version, please contact me. I'd
+actually like to get it started now.
+
+So where does that leave us?
+
+openlp.org 1.2 is once again going to be a while away. I doubt we'll
+have anything beyond beta stage by the end of this year. There's a lot
+of work that needs to go into it, and since none of the team is devoted
+to working on it full time, things will no doubt take a little while. I
+hope to have the first alpha release of 1.2 (i.e. 1.1.0) in about June
+of this year, although we'll see how far we get.
+
+After a couple of alpha releases we'll have a minor code freeze (no more
+major features), where we will start working towards a final product.
+This will be our beta release phase, and after a few betas we'll have a
+full code freeze (no more features, end of story) and enter into the
+release candidate phase.
+
+After the release of 1.2, the 1.x branch of openlp.org will go into
+maintenance mode. This means that we won't have any more major releases,
+only bug fix releases. In fact, once 1.2 is out, we will only perform
+major bug fixes on 1.0, and once 2.0 is out, only major bug fixes will
+be done to 1.2.
+
+Final words
+
+I hope this clears up things for people. I know that at times some folks
+have wondered where openlp.org might be going in future, so this should
+answer those questions.
+
+Please remember that over and above, openlp.org has a feature-based
+release cycle, not a time-base one. We will release each version as and
+when we see fit, with the features we are happy with, and when we're
+happy that they are bug-free. That might sound a little dicatatorish,
+but at the end of the day it's us the developers who have to decide what
+we can and can't do. We do this in our spare time, and we aren't paid
+for it.

+
+A few weeks ago we migrated some of our systems, including our web site,

+
+If you sent an e-mail in the last 3 or 4 weeks, and you never heard a

+Hello folks,
+
+Time for a new feature, time for a new blog post...
+
+I just added special shortcut support to the Live Controller to OpenLP.
+This allows you to navigate through and jump between your slides in the
+Live Controller using only your keyboard. This works for any type of
+slide, e. g. songs, bible verses and images.
+
+How does it work?
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you want to jump to verse 3 using the keyboard, press "v" and within
+a time frame of 350ms, press "3". (It is technically not possible to
+have the shortcut v + 3.) If you are concerned that 350ms is too short,
+consider that you normally have to press all keys at the same time when
+using “real” shortcuts (like "CTRL + C"), so as long as you are quick
+enough, you will be successful!
+
+Available Shortcuts
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
+| Verse:                               | Chorus:                              |
+| V                                    | C                                    |
++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
+
+Once you have pressed the slide type, you can use the numbers from 0-9.
+
+People using a translated version of OpenLP can change the shortcuts if
+they want to (the numbers are not configurable) via `Settings →
+Configure
+Shortcuts <http://manual.openlp.org/configure_shortcuts.html>`__...
+
+God bless, OpenLP Team

+Well, OpenLP 1.9.5 (aka 2.0 beta 1) has been out for 3 weeks, and the
+feedback we've been getting from folks has been positive. Thanks to more
+people using the beta we've picked up a few bugs we hadn't caught yet,
+and I think that so far we've been more productive than ever. Part of
+the reason is because we have a new core developer.
+
+| Welcome to Andreas
+
+Just before the release of OpenLP 1.9.5 we welcomed Andreas on to the
+team of core developers. He has proven his worth a number of times
+already, is a very capable developer, and has even started making steps
+toward providing support for OpenLP in German.
+
+Welcome Andreas, we are really glad to have you on the team!
+
+New Manual
+
+We also have a new reference manual for OpenLP 2.0. Two of the guys on
+our team have been working hard on documenting every feature in OpenLP
+to bring you a manual that covers literally every aspect of OpenLP. If
+you're good at writing, and you'd like to help out, please let us know.
+Neither of these guys are developers, so don't think that you need to
+know how to develop to write the manual.
+
+| BitTorrent Downloads
+
+A recent addition to our downloads are torrent files for both the
+Windows and the Mac OS X downloads, so that you can now also download
+them via BitTorrent. You can find the files on the download page.
+
+Marketing
+
+Don't forget to make sure you tell others about us! As an open source
+project we have no money to market OpenLP, so we rely heavily on word of
+mouth. If you're on some forums and the forum rules allow it, post a
+review about OpenLP. Let us know about it, we'd love to read what you've
+written.
+
+We also have a Worldwide Usage page where you can point out that your
+church uses OpenLP. Oh, and remember, we're on Facebook and Twitter too.

+The other day I decided to check what our project activity on
+SourceForge.net looks like. I was quite surprised to see that our
+activity is sitting at just over 99% (they rate it up to 2 decimal
+places), so I went to go and have a look at how many times openlp.org
+RC6 has been downloaded.
+
+What a pleasant surprise! As of this blog post, openlp.org RC6 has been
+downloaded 614 times. That equates to 5.21 gigs of data being
+downloaded. Wow. I didn't realise it was that much!
+
+Last week, openlp.org's activity was 99.73%, and by close of day
+yesterday we were ranked 517 out of 166,587 projects. That's no mean
+feat, especially since we don't have a particularly large project!
+
+If we can get over 600 downloads after only 3 weeks, just imagine how
+many downloads we could amass after the launch of version 1.0!
+
+In other news, we've just started Test Phase 1, to see if we can catch
+as many of the remaining bugs as possible before we launch version 1.0.
+If you'd like to be part of these test phases, please e-mail me.
+
+Lastly, I'm still trying to single-handedly write all the documentation
+myself. As of yet I \*still\* haven't had anyone who has actually done
+anything more than offer me empty words. If you really have more than
+just good intentions and hollow words, please let me know.

+in with username/password guest/guest. You should be able to view
+everything.
+
+Some old things: Progress on beta 6 is good. We've actually introduced a
+few new things in it that we decided couldn't wait, and would need to be
+in 1.0 final in any case to make it a decent software release.
+
+That's all from my side for now.
+
+God bless!

+Well 2.0alpha1 has been out in the wild for just over a week now, and
+we're both relieved and delighted that the response has been positive!
+According to the stats, just over 400 of you have been brave enough to
+download it and give it a try, and we've been been bumped up to 246 in
+the SourceForge rankings which I think is pretty good for a niche
+application, out of 266090 registered projects.
+
+If you haven't tried the alpha yet, I'd urge you to please take a look.
+We'll be interested in your comments, both good and bad as to the
+progress we've made so far.
+
+You'll be pleased to know that the developers have decided not to take a
+post-alpha nap, but are instead working as hard as ever towards the
+alpha-2 release. One of the things we're going to be focusing on is song
+imports. We all know how tiresome it is to type in the lyrics to the
+songs, and so we're trying to make your lives easier in this respect.
+
+Raoul is working hard making the existing Song Import menu options
+functional and pretty, Tim continues to work hard to support the
+underlying infrastructure, whilst I've been looking at incorporating
+some of my external v1 utilities into v2. I've already managed to
+complete the Songs of Fellowship import, and some will be pleased to
+know that this now uses OpenOffice.org Writer, rather than Microsoft
+Word. Next I'm going to be looking at a few online options, to get the
+lyrics from sites such as nethymnal.org, kingswaysongs.co.uk and
+pwarchive.org. If you're aware of any other sites which offer Christian
+lyric downloads without requiring registration, then please let me know.
+On the horizon is a general purpose PowerPoint/Impress/Word/Writer text
+import.
+
+We've also got newer members of the team working hard to document the
+database formats used by other worship presentation software in the hope
+we can also support imports from these. We've even got a couple of guys
+taking the time to learn to program in Python, so they can contribute
+import code to the project, which is great!
+
+CCLI import is a bit lower down the priority list, since our CCLI guru
+(Derek) is still working hard fixing a few things in v1.2.4. However
+we're hoping that you'll soon stop reporting bugs in that version, so
+Derek can join in the 2.0 fun with the rest of the team :)
+
+Anyway please continue to report your feature requests, bugs and
+comments. Even if we don't respond or implement it all (we're busy
+people!) we do read everything you've got to say.

+Hi Folks,
+
+I just thought I'd give you all a quick run-down of the current state of
+OpenLP 2.0.
+
+We've been working hard on version 2.0, which is written in Python,
+using Qt4 as it's GUI, and the PyQt4 binding to facilitate this.
+Yesterday evening we reached another minor milestone when we committed
+revision 600 to trunk!
+
+Some of the implemented features include:
+
+-  Cross platform: Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD
+-  Plugin architecture with ability to switch plugins on and off on the
+   fly
+-  Song plugin, with verse ordering for songs
+-  Bibles plugin with web and OSIS (Sword Project) import capabilities
+-  Media plugin for dealing with audio and video
+-  Custom Slides plugin for custom text items that are not songs (like
+   liturgy)
+-  Image plugin, with multiple images aggregated into a single item in
+   the Service Manager (great for slideshows!)
+-  Presentations plugin which integrates with PowerPoint, PowerPoint
+   Viewer and OpenOffice.org Impress1
+-  Audit plugin to track song usage
+-  Remote plugin, for remote control (great for remote nursery alerts!)
+-  Nursery alerts
+-  Customisable slide themes
+-  A separate Bible theme can be selected

+you have a Mac and fancy yourself a developer, \*please\* contact us!
+
+Some of the features we will be implementing:
+
+-  CCLI SongSelect integration (coming soon!)
+-  Dual Bible translations per slide
+-  Much better internationalisation support
+
+We are still a long way off from a stable release, but it's really
+encouraging to see how far we've gotten, and I'm really proud of the
+team for all the work they've done so far!

+Things are looking promising for a release of beta 5 in the next week or
+two. I think I've nailed down the video bug and re-worked the theming to
+take everyone's preferences into account. You can now set your preferred
+theme level to song level, OOS level or global default. I few other
+small bugs have also been resolved. The internationalisation feature
+will be moved out to beta6.
+
+The one outstanding issue that we wanted to include for beta 5 is the
+correction of the CCLI bug. This is where we have a small problem that I
+hope someone out there can help me with. The South African CCLI website
+does not have the same functionality as the USA website and we can't use
+it to test the CCLI interface. With this in mind, I would like to ask if
+anyone out there can assist me with a username/password. I will of
+course keep it confidential. You can contact me at derek(at)openlp.org.

+That's it from me for now.

+That's the final part in the "release" of openlp.org. Unfortunately
+neither Derek nor myself have the time at the moment to do that, so we'd
+really appreciate the help.
+
+You don't need to be able to devote 3 hours per day to it, all we need

+than halfway there. If you reckon you can write up a "how to" on

+many tasks and actions in openlp.org, please let me know.
+
+So if we can get about 20 people just writing up 1 section each, then
+we'll have 20 sections done, and it's taken maybe an hour of your time.
+
+You can either use the contact form, or contact me directly at

+Three weeks ago we released our first beta of OpenLP 2.0, and as usage
+of OpenLP becomes more widespread we have decided that it is a good time
+to make some changes to the way we provide support.
+
+Up until now we have only provided support in English due to most of the
+project team being English. In light of this, we have created some new
+forums for support in German, Spanish and French. We'd also like to
+offer e-mail support in these languages.
+
+We consider this an *experiment* - if the community is able to provide
+support then the forums will stay open. So, if English is not your
+native language, please consider helping us and volunteer by **leaving a
+comment** below (or speak another language).
+
+Cheers, Andreas
+
+PS: This doesn't mean we're not looking for English folks to help with
+support, documentation, web site maintenance and other roles within the
+project.

+Hi All
+
+We are fast approaching the planned release of openlp.org v1.0 at the
+end of this month, and we would like to put together a group of about 10
+testers to put the software through it's paces to help us iron out any

+found and corrected.
+
+If you would like to take part in this activity, please mail Raoul
+(raoul[at]openlp.org) to indicate your availability, as well as the
+specs (OS/CPU/RAM/VIDEO etc) of the test platform you intend to use.
+That way we can try and spread the testing over a range of platform
+configurations.
+
+\*\*\*Please only apply if you are willing to put in the necessary time
+to do thorough testing and submit to us detailed fault scenario's to
+reproduce any bugs that come up, so that we can squash them a.s.a.p.
+
+We look forward to hearing from you.
+
+God bless,
+
+Derek.

+Well, I had to make some adjustments to the CSV Bible Importer because

+As those who read this blog regularly will know, I've been looking for
+folks to help me out with developing openlp.org. A lot of folks have
+come forward and offered a range of different ways to help, including
+actual application development, but no one has Delphi 7, and therefore
+no one can help me with the development of openlp.org 1.2.
+
+With this in mind, at the pitiful amount of progress I've made recently,
+I asked the developer mailing list to vote on possibly shelving version
+1.2 and moving straight on to 2.0.
+
+The reasons I cited for dropping 1.2 are as follows:
+
+-  Only 1 person working on 1.2 (me)
+-  An ever-increasing team of currently about 5 people working on 2.0
+   (the cross-platform python version)
+-  A lot of work needs to go into 1.2, and about the same amount needs
+   to go into 2.0
+-  2.0 is essentially going to be a copy of 1.2, just written in a
+   totally open source environment
+
+The response I got was unanimous. Everyone agreed that my time and
+effort would be better spent working on version 2.0 with everyone else,
+rather than duplicating effort on 1.2. This means I am officially
+shelving version 1.2, and we're moving ahead with 2.0.
+
+Version 2.0 is being written in Python, using the Qt4 GUI Toolkit, and
+PyQt4 to glue Python and Qt4 together. If you're interested in helping
+out, please send me a private message.
+
+I will be releasing another bugfix, version 1.0.2, as I mentioned in a
+previous post, in the near future, so if you're having any problems with
+1.0.1, see the bug report thread in the forums.

+
+A couple of people have been confused, and rightly so, about
+openlp.org's roadmap of development. There have been some interesting
+developments, so here's an updated roadmap.
+
+| The Situation So Far
+
+Firstly, we will be releasing the final version of 1.0 in late October
+most probably (I'll be on honeymoon for the first 2 weeks of October).
+
+Secondly, we had some wild and crazy ideas about versions and things,
+which we've had to scale down. Initially we had 3 versions: version 1.x
+would be Windows-only, continuing the current branch of development;
+version 2.x would still be Windows-only, but with a revamped interior
+and a different database engine; then version 3.x would be the new
+cross-platform, C++ version.
+
+Recently, however, I have come to my senses, and decided to scrap the
+proposed 2.x branch, because there is no viable need for it. All the
+grand ideas we have for 2.x could quite easily be implemented in version
+1.x. So now we have 1.x as Windows-only, and 2.x (the old 3.x) as the
+new, cross-platform, C++ version.
+
+And then lastly, since we don't have any full-time developers, only
+part-time enthusiasts, we cannot have any fixed release dates. Derek and
+I have tried to do our best, and have had partial success. A deadline
+gives us a nice goal to aim for, but if we don't make it, we're not
+worrying.
+
+Looking forward to version 1.2
+
+The next version of openlp.org will be version 1.2. Where's 1.1 you ask?
+Well, that's the development version. Odd numbered versions are
+development versions, and even numbered versions are stable releases.
+
+The first thing we are going to do is a massive code cleanup. Tim
+originally wrote this code before he'd gone to college and learned all
+those impressive coding techniques, and thus we've got a bit of a mess
+on our hands. So while there won't be any visible changes, there will be
+a number of "structural" changes to make it easier to develop and
+maintain openlp.org.
+
+After the code cleanup, we're gonna start looking at implementing a
+number of the most prominent features. One feature we're going to have a
+go at implementing is integration with OpenOffice.org. That has probably
+been our number 1 feature request. Another feature we'd like to
+implement is text-over-video.
+
+What we will most probably do is create a feature vote topic in the
+forums, where you vote for which feature you'd most like to see in
+openlp.org. That way we can "democratically" select which features to
+include in the next version of openlp.org. I must stress that not all
+features will make it. As much as we'd like to include all, we don't
+have the time to do that. It comes down to a "features versus working
+product" debate, and I always sway toward the "working product" side.
+
+There are also various features that I would like to include as well.
+One of them is extra options for songs, like verse display order and
+support for guitar chords (although I'm not sure if we'll actually
+include the latter just yet).
+
+The Roadmap
+
+#. End of October: Release openlp.org version 1.0
+#. End of January 2008: Finish code cleanup.
+#. End of May 2008: OpenOffice.org integration, song enhancements,
+   display enhancements.
+#. End of June 2008: openlp.org 1.2 beta 1
+
+Of course in the mean time, if there are any small bugs to 1.0, we will
+fix them and release 1.0.x.
+
+Let me just issue my disclaimer again. These dates are basically sucked
+out of my thumb. I don't know how long they will take, and I don't know
+how busy us developers will be. I'm hoping that we can stick to these
+proposed dates, and perhaps even be able to finish some items before
+these dates.
+
+Conclusion
+
+I hope this manages to clear up confusion about versions, and also gives
+you an indication of where we're going with openlp.org.
+
+**Note:** I don't know where the C++ port is in terms of progress, I'm
+not in charge of that part of the project. You'd need to speak to Tim
+directly. You can get hold of him via his e-mail address, tim [at]
+openlp.org.

+Hi All
+
+No doubt most of you are as keen as we are to get openlp.org into a full
+version 1 status. Well, we are nearly there. Sorry about the few hiccups
+in the last few releases, they were due to last minute corrections and
+optimisations in the software and slipped though due to the fact that we
+were trying to honour our release date promises.
+
+With this in mind we would like to make the RC2 release on the 15th/16th
+of June and we appeal to all of you out there to give the software a
+thorough testing in the next week or so, so that RC2 can be our last
+release candidate. I should mention at this stage that there is a rather
+unpleasant **bug in rc1** regarding the **loading of saved
+Orders-Of-Service**. This has been corrected and will be in RC2, so
+please don't highlight this problem in your feedback. To work around
+this, you need to rebuild the OOS each time before you use it.
+Frustrating I know. Sorry!
+
+You can post bug reports in the openlp.org 1.0 rc1 forum topic. 
+
+We do appreciate all your feedback, and without your input, openlp.org
+wouldn't be where is is today.
+
+Derek.

+|Android|
+
+The Android app for OpenLP adds some nice fexibility to the operation of
+OpenLP. I personally use this to add songs "on the fly" from the stage
+on Sunday mornings. It is also useful for speakers that want to control
+what is being displayed and I'm sure many many other uses. We have
+recently had a few questions about the remote feature and the setup. You
+can find detailed instructions in the `OpenLP
+documentation <http://manual.openlp.org/configure.html#remote>`_ and
+also info for the `Android
+app <http://manual.openlp.org/android.html#android>`_.
+
+**Networking Basics**
+
+Before we get to the tips, we need to be sure have a good understanding
+of some basic networking terms.
+
+**IP Address:** This is the unique number that is given to a computer on
+a network. Think of this as a street address of a house. On most local
+networks It will look something like this: 192.168.1.100.
+
+**LAN:** Local Area Network, this is the local network. If you have a
+typical home setup with a modem and a wireless router the wireless
+router connects all the computers and assings IP addresses on the LAN.
+Many users have confused the LAN with the internet. A LAN doesn not have
+to be connected to the internet at all, it simply provides a way for
+several close by computers to communicate. A LAN is all that is needed
+for the remote feature of OpenLP to work.
+
+**WiFi:** this is the means that you connect to a Local network
+wirelessly. Again, this does not mean you are connected to the internet.
+
+Now, to the tips...
+
+**Get on the Same Network**
+
+Many people use the Android app on their mobile phone. One of the most
+common issues I have ran into when someone is running the remote app is
+they are not on the network that the OpenLP machine is on. For most
+setups this means you need to be on the same WiFi network that the
+OpenLP machine is on.
+
+**Connect to the Correct IP Address **
+
+Most networks use
+`DHCP <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol>`_
+to hand out IP addresses, this means your OpenLP machine may not have
+the same IP address every week so it may be necessary to check that if
+you cannot connect with your device. You can find the IP address from
+the `remote
+settings <http://manual.openlp.org/_images/configureremotes.png>`_\ screen
+in OpenLP. You can also find the IP address by entering the command
+"ipconfig" in the command prompt in Windows, or by the commands "ip a"
+or "ifconfig" on most Mac, Linux, and BSD machines. You can also find
+your OpenLP computer if you know its
+`hostname  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname>`_ on your Android
+device by using an app such as
+`eZNetScan <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vrsspl.eznetscan&hl=en>`_.
+
+**Be Sure to Apply Your Settings**
+
+If you need to change your IP address on the Android app be sure to tap
+the Activate button to activate the changes. 
+
+**Consider a Static IP Address**
+
+A static IP address will help keep you from having a lot of these
+issues. This may not always be possible, another way to achieve
+something close to this is using a tool most routers have to reserve
+dhcp addresses usually bound to the `MAC
+address <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address>`_ of a computer.
+Check your routers documentation but this is usually a pretty simple
+process.

+In the last few weeks a number of requested features have been added to
+the 2.x code base.
+
+* Transitions where a song slide will fade into the next slide automatically. This option still needs to be made configurable as it is expected some people will not wish to use it or find it distracting.
+* Verse tagging where each slide is given a tag  eg Verse, Chorus, Bridge , Intro.
+* Verses will also be given a number as there can be many of them in a song!
+
+It will then be possible to simply change the order of the verses, if required. One advantage of this is that each slide is only stored once but can be used may times.
+
+For example a *verse list* could look like::
+
+    V1 V2 C V3 C B V4 C V1
+
+A Verse (V1) can be one or many slides, all tagged the same and treated as a block.

+It's been very quiet on the translation front for a while now, but rest
+assured, we've been working hard behind the scenes to get OpenLP's
+internationlisation abilities top notch. We now have the most of the
+strings in OpenLP updated and included in the translation files.
+
+Translators are welcome to start working on the translation for their
+language! The next planned release, Alpha 3 aka "Dashing Daniel", is
+just around the corner (only 9 days till release), and while that
+doesn't give us much time, we can at least make a start. The
+translations will be included in this release. Lets GO!
+
+Important Note: There is a string openlp/core/utils/languagemanager.py,
+"English". This string is meant to be your language's name, in your
+language. For example, in the German translation file, you would
+translate this string to "Deutsch".
+
+If you'd like to join the translation team, please see the Getting
+Started page on the wiki.

+
+With much fanfare, we released OpenLP 2.2 last Sunday. It's been a roaring success so far, but sadly it has also been
+plagued by unforseen bugs. A number of users have had OpenLP just crash on startup, and some folks have been unable to
+play videos. In this blog post, I'll show you how to figure out which issue you're running into, and a workaround for
+it until we can get a fix out (hopefully in the next 2-3 weeks).
+
+There have been two main problems which cause OpenLP 2.2 to crash on startup. Firstly, three languages were hit by
+translation errors, and secondly, OpenLP on Linux won't start up due to VLC being missing.
+
+The issues with videos can be divided into two situations. Firstly, our initial build of OpenLP for Windows was unable
+to detect VLC, and secondly, some folks might have been using video players that are not supported on their platforms
+anymore.
+
+Translation Issues
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+The three languages affected by the translation bug are German, Estonian and Chinese (Taiwan). Fortunantely there is a
+workaround, just change the language back to the default English. But since OpenLP can't start you'll have have to
+change the settings where the settings are stored, which differs on platform.
+
+Diagnosing the Problem
+----------------------
+When this bug hits you'll see an error window opening up on startup, and the following Python traceback will be in
+there:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    Traceback (most recent call last):
+       File "<string>", line 44, in <module>
+       File "/Users/raoul/Projects/OpenLP/OpenLP-2.2/openlp/core/__init__.py", line 388, in main
+       File "/Users/raoul/Projects/OpenLP/OpenLP-2.2/openlp/core/__init__.py", line 141, in run
+       File "/Users/raoul/Projects/OpenLP/OpenLP-2.2/openlp/core/ui/mainwindow.py", line 526, in __init__
+       File "/Users/raoul/Projects/OpenLP/OpenLP-2.2/openlp/core/ui/aboutform.py", line 44, in __init__

+       File "/Users/raoul/Projects/OpenLP/OpenLP-2.2/openlp/core/ui/aboutdialog.py", line 82, in setup_ui
+       File "/Users/raoul/Projects/OpenLP/OpenLP-2.2/openlp/core/ui/aboutdialog.py", line 264, in retranslate_ui
+    TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting
+
+Fixing the Problem
+------------------
+**To change language on Windows:**
+
+1. Click on Start, Run
+2. Type in ``regedit.exe`` and press Enter
+3. Navigate down the tree to the OpenLP folder which is located at: ``HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\OpenLP\OpenLP\core``
+4. Click the attribute ``language`` and change it to ``en`` for English
+5. Save and close the Registry Editor
+6. Start OpenLP
+
+**To change language on Linux:**
+
+1. Open a text editor (Kate on KDE, Gedit on Gnome or Ubuntu)
+2. Open a file and look for ``/home/<user>/.config/OpenLP/OpenLP.conf`` (you may need to tell your file dialog to show
+   hidden files)
+3. In the ``[core]`` section find ``language`` and change it to ``en`` for English
+4. Save the file and close your editor
+5. Start OpenLP
+
+**To change language on Mac OS X:**
+
+1. Open Finder and go to *Applications*
+2. In *Applications*, open the *Utilities* folder
+3. Open the *Terminal* application, this will open up a command prompt
+4. Type in ``defaults write org.openlp.OpenLP core.language en`` exactly as you see it here, and press <Enter>
+5. Close *Terminal*
+6. Start OpenLP
+
+VLC On Linux
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+In some Linux distributions (notably Ubuntu and its derivatives), you may encounter and error when starting OpenLP.
+
+Diagnosing the Problem
+----------------------
+When OpenLP starts, you'll see an error window with the following traceback:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    Traceback (most recent call last):
+      File "/usr/bin/openlp", line 44, in <module>
+        main()

+        raise NameError('no function %r' % (name,))
+    NameError: no function 'libvlc_new'
+
+Fixing the Problem
+------------------
+The workaround is really simple: install VLC.
+
+Missing VLC on Windows
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+If you were previously using VLC in Windows, and now can no longer play any media, this is probably due to a problem
+that arose when building OpenLP for Windows.
+
+Diagnosing the Problem
+----------------------
+When OpenLP starts you'll see an error window appear, and there should be a traceback like the one below:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    Traceback (most recent call last):
+       File "D:\OpenLP_Development\OpenLP_Code\2.2\openlp\core\ui\servicemanager.py", line 1462, in on_make_live
+       File "D:\OpenLP_Development\OpenLP_Code\2.2\openlp\core\ui\servicemanager.py", line 1478, in make_live
+       File "D:\OpenLP_Development\OpenLP_Code\2.2\openlp\core\ui\slidecontroller.py", line 808, in add_service_manager_item
+       File "D:\OpenLP_Development\OpenLP_Code\2.2\openlp\core\ui\slidecontroller.py", line 896, in _process_item
+       File "D:\OpenLP_Development\OpenLP_Code\2.2\openlp\core\ui\slidecontroller.py", line 1360, in on_media_start
+       File "D:\OpenLP_Development\OpenLP_Code\2.2\openlp\core\ui\media\mediacontroller.py", line 376, in video
+       File "D:\OpenLP_Development\OpenLP_Code\2.2\openlp\core\ui\media\mediacontroller.py", line 532, in _check_file_type
+       File "D:\OpenLP_Development\OpenLP_Code\2.2\openlp\core\ui\media\mediacontroller.py", line 345, in resize
+       File "D:\OpenLP_Development\OpenLP_Code\2.2\openlp\core\ui\media\vlcplayer.py", line 234, in resize
+    AttributeError: 'MainDisplay' object has no attribute 'vlc_widget'
+
+Fixing the Problem
+------------------
+The fix for this is really easy. We've already re-built OpenLP for Windows with a fix. Just re-download OpenLP and
+re-install it.
+
+*NB* Make sure your are using the 32-bit version of VLC. OpenLP on Windows is a 32-bit application.
+
+Missing Media Player
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+In some instances you might find that you cannot play any videos.
+
+Diagnosing the Problem
+----------------------
+When you try to play media, you get an error message like this:
+
+    File type unsupported
+
+Fixing the Problem
+------------------
+Some of the older built-in media players aren't currently supported in Windows and Mac OS X. If you encounter this,
+simply `download and install VLC`_, restart OpenLP, and you should be able to select VLC as your media player.
+
+*NB* Make sure your are using the 32-bit version of VLC. OpenLP on Windows is a 32-bit application.
+
+Rolling out Fixes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+We're really busy trying to track down and fix these issues, but as you can imagine it's not always that simple or that
+easy, so please be patient. We are hoping to get a release out by the end of next week. In the case of the
+translations, if you speak that language, please can you check out the `project on Transifex`_ and see if you can help
+fix it.
+
+Thanks for your patience and your support!

+Many thanks to Derek for his sharp eyes! Derek had another glance over
+my code and spotted a few things, and managed to get the translation
+working. I'm now busy cleaning up the code, finishing it off, and
+hopefully should be releasing beta 6 later this coming week.
+
+openlp.org 1.0 beta 6 contains the last of the new features. After beta
+6 we will be releasing release candidate 1, and from there we have maybe
+1 or 2 more release candidates, and then it's 1.0 final! I'm looking
+forward to releasing version 1 and I know you are too!
+
+| Thanks for supporting our project!

+Hey guys!
+
+As you might have noticed, openlp.org's development is progressing
+pretty nicely. It's been a long time, and a long process (hectic
+personal schedules leave little time for pet projects like openlp.org),
+but we're finally nearing 1.0.
+
+BUT in order for us to have a really nicely finished and polished
+product, we need documentation. We're looking for people who are willing
+to put aside a couple of hours a week (say about 2 - 4) and, in a
+collaborative manner, put together a user guide second to none. If
+you're interested in joining us, then please contact us via the contact
+form (subject: Help with documentation).
+
+We also need people who are willing to translation this site (and
+therefore the documentation) into other languages. If you speak German,
+French, Spanish, Portuguese, or anything else, and you'd like to help
+out, then please contact us via the contact form (subject: Help with
+translation). Please remember that I don't speak anything other than
+English, so don't e-mail me in your language, I won't understand what
+you're saying.

+A while ago I wrote two scripts as part of the OpenLP 2.0 rewrite, to
+convert the openlp.org 1.0 songs database and bible files to OpenLP 2.0
+format. Unfortunately these scripts were Linux/Unix-only until recently,
+because I couldn't get the SQLite 2.8 module for Python compiled on
+Windows.
+
+However, Jonathan Corwin did some digging, and found out how to do it,
+and so I've compiled those two scripts into two stand-alone command line
+executables for Windows. We'll eventually include both songs and Bible
+imports in OpenLP 2.0, but for the moment, you can use these two command
+line apps to convert your databases for you.
+
+Songs: openlp-1to2-converter.exe
+
+Bibles: bible-1to2-converter.exe
+
+How to use them:
+
+Both scripts support a "--help" parameter, which provides you with the
+usage of the script, and extra parameters that you can pass to the
+scripts.
+
+::
+
+    C:\> openlp-1to2-converter.exe --helpUsage: openlp-1to2-converter.exe [options] OLDDATABASE NEWDATABASEOptions: -h, --help       show this help message and exit -o, --overwrite  Overwrite database file if it already exists. -v, --verbose    Outputs additional progress data. -d, --debug      Outputs raw SQL statements (overrides verbose).
+
+Note that the songs database is "songs.sqlite" and is found in
+C:/Documents and Settings/<username>/Application Data/openlp/data/songs
+on Windows XP. Bibles are "Version\_Name.sqlite" and found in
+C:/Documents and Settings/<username>/Application
+Data/openlp/data/bibles.

+From all of us OpenLP folks, we would like to wish everyone a blessed
+Christmas. We pray that your day is (or has been) filled with joy,
+happiness, and reflection on His birth and His message. Let's not get
+carried away by the presents and the food and the celebrations, but take
+time to think about the "reason for the season".
+
+    About that time Caesar Augustus ordered a census to be taken
+    throughout the Empire. This was the first census when Quirinius was
+    governor of Syria. Everyone had to travel to his own ancestral
+    hometown to be accounted for. So Joseph went from the Galilean town
+    of Nazareth up to Bethlehem in Judah, David's town, for the census.
+    As a descendant of David, he had to go there. He went with Mary, his
+    fiancée, who was pregnant.
+
+    While they were there, the time came for her to give birth. She gave
+    birth to a son, her firstborn. She wrapped him in a blanket and laid
+    him in a manger, because there was no room in the hostel.
+
+    There were sheepherders camping in the neighborhood. They had set
+    night watches over their sheep. Suddenly, God's angel stood among
+    them and God's glory blazed around them. They were terrified. The
+    angel said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here to announce a great and
+    joyful event that is meant for everybody, worldwide: A Savior has
+    just been born in David's town, a Savior who is Messiah and Master.
+    This is what you're to look for: a baby wrapped in a blanket and
+    lying in a manger."
+
+    At once the angel was joined by a huge angelic choir singing God's
+    praises:
+
+    *Glory to God in the heavenly heights,
+    Peace to all men and women on earth who please him.*
+
+    As the angel choir withdrew into heaven, the sheepherders talked it
+    over. "Let's get over to Bethlehem as fast as we can and see for
+    ourselves what God has revealed to us." They left, running, and
+    found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. Seeing was
+    believing. They told everyone they met what the angels had said
+    about this child. All who heard the sheepherders were impressed.
+
+    Mary kept all these things to herself, holding them dear, deep
+    within herself. The sheepherders returned and let loose, glorifying
+    and praising God for everything they had heard and seen. It turned
+    out exactly the way they'd been told!
+
+    Luke 1:1-20 (The Message)

+Hi folks,
+
+It is with great pleasure I announce the release date for the first
+ALPHA version of OpenLP 2.0: Sunday 28 March 2010.
+
+What is an alpha release? Well, it's a release to say, "hey, we're not
+yet done, but you can look at what we've done so far!" Some features are
+missing, some are incomplete, and some are buggy, but you can look
+around and play around!
+
+It has taken us a year and a half to get to this point, an initial
+release of OpenLP 2.0, but this is because we have been rewriting OpenLP
+from the ground up. There is not one single small piece of code from
+version 1.x in version 2.0. Rewriting OpenLP from scratch has given us a
+chance to fix design mistakes in 1.x, add more flexibility, and give you
+much much more in version 2.0 than we could have ever given you in 1.x.
+
+I'd like to extend a huge thanks to my fellow developers, testers and
+other members of the community for their help, encouragement, and
+commitment to a brand new version of OpenLP!

+
+OpenLP 2.0.4 has been out for 4 months now, and while there don't seem to be any major issues with it, that doesn't mean
+there are no more bugs. With this in mind we're going to be releasing version 2.0.5 at the end of this month, June. This
+will be the *last release* of OpenLP 2.0.
+
+Once 2.0.5 has be released, we will be gearing up for the release of 2.2. As a part of this we will be starting up the
+nightly builds again and we will release a beta at the end of August with a view of releasing 2.2 at the end of October.
+
+In order to reduce the time between (major) releases, the OpenLP team has decided to move to a release cycle more like
+Firefox and Chrome, with short cycles and a smaller number of features in each release. With fewer features in each
+release there should also be fewer bugs, and a faster cycle should mean that bugs are fixed sooner too.
+
+We have also started writing automated tests for OpenLP, which should help to curb some of the bugs before they make it
+into our main codebase. Each developer is required to run all the tests against their code before they can submit it,
+and they are required to write tests for their code. This way our test coverage increases and we are able to prevent
+regressions (when new code breaks some of the older code).
+
+So while you won't find all the features you want in OpenLP 2.2, we hope to be able to get the features you want out to
+you sooner in future because we're not spending forever getting all the features developed while you're waiting for a
+huge release to happen.

+**Update:** We are pleased to announce that we've had another large
+donation, which will cover the cost of the Mac Mini completely. Thanks
+very much for the generous donations! If you would still like to donate
+(it would be nice to get a Mac keyboard too), we're still accepting
+donations.
+
+As awesome as OpenLP is, we do have a rather large weak point: Our Mac
+support. Presentation software integration doesn't work on Mac OS X,
+there are often multiple display issues, and we don't have a dedicated
+Apple/Mac developer.
+
+The good news is that we've recently been given a large donation toward
+purchasing a Mac Mini. The bad news is that it isn't enough. We need
+another USD$150.
+
+If you're interested in donating towards buying a Mac Mini, please
+contact us via support<at>openlp.org or `come visit us in
+IRC <http://openlp.org/support/live-chat-irc>`__ and ask for the PayPal
+details.

+A few months ago, we rewrote how media (videos, etc) works in OpenLP.
+Part of the reason for the rewrite of how media is handled was to be
+able to use VLC as your video player inside OpenLP. Today we are happy
+to announce that we now have VLC support in OpenLP, via the nightly
+builds.
+
+Please keep in mind that the VLC support might contain bugs since it has
+not yet been fully tested. Feel free, however, to test it out. As usual,
+please report any bugs you find.
+
+*Note:* You will need to install VLC and enable VLC support in the media
+setting (Settings -> Configure OpenLP...) before you can use it.
+
+| Best Regards and may God be with you,

+
+A feature we have been using regularly at our church has been images as
+a slide show. We use images for announcements since we have someone who
+is gifted with photo editing software. It makes some really nice slides
+for announcements and very personalized. This could also be useful for
+those last minute needs such as someone wanting to show pictures snapped
+at a youth event or outing or a variety of other things.
+
+|Images|
+
+To start select the images you want to use from the Media Manager, then
+add to the service.
+
+The easiest way is to multi-select the images by holding Control to
+select individual images or holding Shift to select a series of images
+in a row. Then add to the service. You can also drag one image at a time
+and then drag on top of the existing images and select add to selected
+item.
+
+That is it you should now have a group of images under the heading
+"Images" in the Service Manager.
+
+|Service Manager|
+
+ Next when you are ready to show your images, go live with the group of
+images. You will now see a timer option in the Live pane. Select the
+amount of time you want the images to stay on screen and push play.
+
+|image3|
+
+You now have a very easy image slide show. We usually have some music in
+the background playing as people come in. We have a very pro looking
+pre-service set of announcements that can be put together at the very
+last minute.

+
+* Correction for bug prevent song information display from being deactivated

+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 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.

+Over the last few months there have been a number of bug reports for

+check and add your bug to the 1.0.1 bug report thread in the forums.
+
+On a side note, Martin Thompson has quietly been hacking away at
+openlp.org 2.0 (the cross platform python version), and has recently
+committed some code to the openlp-2 subversion repository. It's looking
+good so far. If you're interested in helping him out,  please join us in

+I also want to just quickly highlight an application that Patrick
+Brueckner has been working on, which will clean up various things in
+your songs database file. You can download it from his website.

+This release fixes a problem some folks were having where openlp.org

+bug where some folks would see a number of "openlp.org" folders in the

+Hi all,
+
+For those of you out there that don't have musicians to play music for
+your church service and use audio tracks, version 1.2.0 will be a
+welcome surprise (since it wasn't in the project plan). Due to a
+personal requirement, I continued development on the v1.x line of
+openlp.org and added the facility to play audio files. Not only that,
+but they can be linked to lyrics and managed together.
+
+While I was busy with this I was in contact with CCLI in Germany and was
+able to get information which enabled me to build in song import support
+for SongSelect file (txt & usr).  I also added a web based facility to
+import songs from SongSelect.  For those of you who use SongSelect, I'm
+sure you will enjoy this.
+
+I was also able to enhance the internationalisation capabilities of
+openlp.org. This includes being able to select your language preference
+when the First Run Wizard runs after installation.
+
+In the process of development, a few bug fixes were also taken care of. 
+For a more complete list of the changes, refer to the Changelog.
+
+You can get your all new 1.2.0 edition from the download page.
+
+Derek.
+
+P.S. I should mention that other than urgent bugfixes, this really is
+the last of the 1.x versions :)

+Yes, it's that age-old call for help that you can hear reverberating

+
+We have reached the stage in the development of version 2.0 where we

+folks to help with the testing.
+
+We need folks running Windows (2K/XP/Vista/7), Linux (any distro that
+runs Qt4 and Python 2.5 or up), and Mac OS X (Tiger and up). You don't
+need any experience in software testing, you just need to be committed
+to installing some software libraries on your computer and spending some
+time running through and testing version 2.0.
+
+If you're interested in helping out, please send a private message to
+either myself or Wesley (wstout) with the subject, "Help Offered:
+Tester", and the following information:
+
+-  Your name
+-  Your e-mail address
+-  Your openlp.org username
+-  Your operating system (eg. "Linux: Fedora Core 10" or "Mac OS X:

+|OpenLP version 2.0|
+
+As many of our users know, we've been aiming to make the final release
+of OpenLP 2.0 this coming weekend. After much thought and consideration,
+we have decided to postpone the release till the end of November.
+
+When releasing software there comes a point where you need to decide
+whether or not it is good enough to be released. With OpenLP we had a
+look at the number of major, minor and trivial bugs outstanding and made
+the decision that it is not quite good enough for a final release. We
+would rather release OpenLP when we are happy with the quality of the
+software than with a bunch of glaring bugs we could have fixed if we
+waited just a little bit longer.
+
+Don't forget that this gives everyone an extra couple of weeks to
+`translate
+OpenLP <http://openlp.org/en/blog/2012/10/12/lets-get-translating>`_,
+`find more
+bugs <http://openlp.org/en/blog/2012/09/24/gearing-final-release>`_, or
+just `promote it in your Church
+circles <http://openlp.org/en/blog/2012/10/07/media-kit-now-available>`_.
+
+See you at the end of November!
+
+**Update:** After some discussion the development team has decided to
+release OpenLP 2.0 on the 1\ :sup:`st` of December 2012.

+|Christmas Present|
+
+Another release, another beta... As with most other open source
+projects, we don't want to release OpenLP until it is ready. So here's
+our Christmas present to you: another beta version. Don't worry, we are
+just as eager as you to get the final release out, but we also want to
+make sure the final release is the best it can be, so we'll continue to
+release beta versions and then release candidates until we're happy with
+what we've got.
+
+PLEASE NOTE: ONCE YOU HAVE INSTALLED VERSION 1.9.8 YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RUN VERSION 1.9.7 AGAIN!
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+*As of 1.9.7 we introduced an automatic database upgrade system, and
+song databases from the newer versions are not necessarily backwards
+compatible. From time to time we have to introduce changes to the songs
+database in order to add new features and enhance existing
+functionality. Because of these changes, you will not be able to run
+previous versions of OpenLP with your most recent database.*
+
+This release is no different to the last one, chock-full of bug fixes,
+with a few features, or feature enhancements, thrown in. We are also
+constantly updating `the manual
+(http://manual.openlp.org/) <http://manual.openlp.org/>`_ to reflect
+these new features and enhancements and a lot of changes have already
+been documented.
+
+Some of the features you'll find in this release:
+
+-  A top toolbar in the web remote
+-  `Media has been
+   rewritten <http://www.openlp.org/en/blog/2011/12/02/media-rewrite-complete>`_
+   to make integration of other media systems, like VLC, easier.
+-  Added "Justify" as a theme option (note: this makes themes not
+   backward compatible if this option is used)
+-  Ability to edit songs loaded as part of a service which are not
+   stored permanently in the songs database.
+-  `Special
+   shortcuts <http://www.openlp.org/en/blog/2011/11/06/shortcuts-live-controller-video>`_
+   for the slide controller to go directly to any verse.
+
+Some of the bug fixes you'll find in this release:
+
+-  Support for OS X 10.7 Lion
+-  A couple of minor bugfixes for the Web Remote
+-  Problems with v1 theme with non-english characters in the name
+-  Problems with non-english characters in filenames inside loaded
+   services on Windows
+-  Cannot use mouse wheel to change volume in slide controller
+-  Improve performance of song loading for Preview/Live
+-  OpenLP 2 database import fails when using an old database
+-  Specified position for footer not working
+-  Theme with outlined text and "justify" not displaying properly
+
+    For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government
+    will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor,
+    Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
+
+    Isaiah 9:6
+
+Christmas is a hectic time of year with people shopping for gifts,
+wrapping gifts, traveling, preparing meals and doing so many other
+activities. For those of us involved in church preparation it will also
+include Christmas themes, song selection, music rehearsal and other
+preparations for the Christmas service. Sometimes Christmas looks like a
+big production.
+
+On the other hand, there are governments requiring Nativity scenes to be
+taken down, atheists wanting to put banners up denying God, TV
+broadcasts and stores restricted to say "Happy Holidays" instead of
+Merry CHRISTmas and Christians watching in unbelief as our faith is
+assaulted.
+
+We can take comfort in knowing we worship a living, caring God. One who
+sent His Son to show us how to live, to pray, to worship and to believe
+in our Lord Jesus for everlasting life.
+
+We at OpenLP wish you a Blessed Christmas and hope and pray you will
+take the time to refresh yourself with Jesus Christ, our Wonderful
+Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. Amen.
+
+`Go grab OpenLP 1.9.8 from the Download
+page! <http://openlp.org/en/download>`_

+Ever wanted to know how many developers work on OpenLP, or when OpenLP started, or even how many are working on the code
+at the same time? Well, now you can see this and more with the video above.
+
+**Full HD: full screen is highly recommended**
+
+This video is a visual representation of the history of changes to the OpenLP source code. Each person floating around
+is a developer who worked on the code, and each "shot" is a change. Green means they added a file, orange/yellow means a
+file was modified, and red means a file was deleted (it happens). Each branch is a directory, and each dot is a file.
+
+Enjoy!

+Hello everyone! OpenLP's popularity is on the rise. We just hit 1,200
+fans. That is a large accomplishment in itself for a project like
+OpenLP. With this rise in popularity we could use some help from the
+community. As you probably already know we have been hard at work on a
+manual and support is always available through chat, but OpenLP also has
+a YouTube channel. Many times a video is worth more than a thousand
+words when demonstrating a feature or helping out with a technical
+issue.
+
+We would love for members of the OpenLP community to help out with
+support. We can always use help with the manual or in chat, but
+specifically we would love to have your videos. Maybe you would like to
+document a feature that once found you couldn't live without. Maybe, you
+are a pro at setting up OpenLP and dual monitors and would like to
+demonstrate. If you would like a sample of a video please check this
+video out.
+
+If you have your cameras rolling email us at support@xxxxxxxxxx with
+your video and we will link to it on YouTube. If you do not have the
+video posted online and would still like to get it to us, file syncing
+services such as Dropbox, UbuntuOne, and Spider Oak (to name a few) all
+have a way to share a file with a public link. If that isn't your cup of
+tea you can also use a site such as TransferBigFiles.com to upload a
+file and have a public link so others can access it.
+
+If you have been looking for a way to help the OpenLP community out this
+would be a great way and also should be fun in the process!

+A couple of guys using Vista have told us that the problem is that
+openlp.org is looking for a file that doesn't exist in DirectX 10
+anymore (openlp.org uses DirectX 9 headers). You need to download and
+install D3DRM.dll. You should be able to simply copy the file into the
+openlp.org directory (on most systems it should be "C:\\Program
+Files\\openlp.org") and openlp.org should work fine. Let me know about
+this, I'm operating on hearsay.
+
+On the other hand, I've moved to Linux full time now, Kubuntu 7.04
+(Feisty Fawn), as my main desktop, although I'll still have a Windows
+box around to develop openlp.org.  If you haven't looked at Linux yet, I
+would strongly recommend you do! Download a CD image from www.ubuntu.com
+and try it out!

+I'm proud to announce that OpenLP 2.0 reached revision 1000 on Sunday
+evening. That means that there are over 1000 features, improvements or
+bugfixes in OpenLP 2.0.
+
+One of the latest new features that was added to OpenLP is a Song Import
+Wizard. Those who downloaded and installed Alpha 2 "Hairy Habakkak"
+would have noticed that there was a Song Import Wizard in there, but it
+didn't seem to work. This is because it was simply a shell, and had no
+actual functionality. I'm glad to say that this has been changed, and in
+Alpha 3 "Dashing Daniel" the Song Import Wizard will work.
+
+As usual, those folks running Ubuntu or one of it's derivatives can get
+revision 1000 out of our developer PPA, and those who are brave enough
+to download the source code and get it up and running too. For once,
+Windows users can also try out revision 1000 via a special Windows
+build. Please note that this will overwrite your existing installation
+of OpenLP 2.0, so make sure you make backups first.

+
+If you'd like to see OpenLP in your language, now's the time! We are about 2 weeks away from the release of 2.2, and
+now is your opportunity to translate OpenLP's interface into your own language.
+
+In order for your langauge to be included you need to have completed the `translation of OpenLP 2.2`_ (you'll need to be
+logged into `Transifex`_ to see this page) **by midnight UTC (GMT) on Saturday the 10th of October 2015**.
+
+Because we believe strongly in quality over quantity at OpenLP, we will not be including any translations that are
+incomplete into the final build. **This means that if you want your language to be part of the final release of version
+2.2, you need to make sure it is 100% done by the end of Saturday the 10th of October**. This deadline also gives you
+just over a week to complete any outstanding translations.
+
+Languages Needing Work
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Currently, the following translations are more than 80% complete, but still need some work (ordered from most complete
+to least complete). My estimate is that none of these should take longer than about 2 hours to complete.
+
+*  Polish
+*  French
+*  Lithuanian
+*  Russian
+*  Portuguese (Brazil)
+*  Bulgarian
+
+The following translations are between 40% and 80% complete. Unless these are worked on this week, they probably won't
+make it into the final release of OpenLP.
+
+*  Thai (Thailand)
+*  Tamil (Sri-Lanka)
+*  Greek
+*  Afrikaans
+*  Chinese (China)
+*  Korean
+
+Lastly, the following translations are less than 40% complete. If any of these translations makes it into the final
+release, I will be very surprised.
+
+*  Slovenian
+*  Italian
+*  Macedonian
+*  Ukrainian
+*  Norweigian Nyorsk
+*  Papiamento
+*  Turkish
+*  Malayalam
+*  Latvian
+*  Spanish (Colombia)
+*  Arabic
+*  Albanian
+*  Korean (Korea)
+*  Ukranian (Ukraine)
+*  Khmer (Cambodia)
+*  Russian (Russia)
+*  Amharic
+*  English (United States)
+*  Klingon
+*  Arabic (Egypt)
+*  Spanish (Chile)
+*  Vietnamese (Viet Nam)
+*  Vietnamese
+
+Get started `translating OpenLP 2.2`_ (you'll need to be logged into `Transifex`_ to see this page).
+
+Testing Out Your Translation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+To test your translation out, do the following:
+
+1.  Make sure you are running version 2.1.6
+2.  Install Qt Linguist
+3.  Windows and OS X users need to `download Qt Linguist`_
+4.  Ubuntu, Fedora, and other Linux and Unix users can install Qt Linguist from their package manager
+5.  Download the language file from Transifex
+6.  Open it in Qt Linguist
+7.  Open the File menu, select "*Release*" and save the resulting release file with only your language code as the file name (see Transifex for your language code)
+8.  Copy the release file to OpenLP's i18n directory
+9.  Windows: ``C:\Program Files\OpenLP\i18n or C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenLP\i18n``
+10.  Mac OS X: ``/Applications/OpenLP.app/Contents/MacOS/i18n/``
+11.  Linux: ``/usr/share/openlp/i18n/``
+12.  \*BSD: ``/usr/local/share/openlp/i18n/``
+13.  (Re)start Openlp and select your language

+Being a rainy public holiday here in the UK, I decided it would be a
+good time to update you all on v2, since we've now sailed past revision
+800 and there have been a number of changes since the last update.
+
+I've been continuing to work on Song Imports and have now added the
+ability to import Word/Writer and Powerpoint/Impress documents via an
+interface with OpenOffice.org. The import itself is fairly basic and
+makes some assumptions on the format of the file, but will hopefully
+save some typing in many cases. I've also worked on the remote interface
+and now made it possible to control OpenLP with a web browser. This will
+require the remote plugin to be enabled and then connecting to
+http://localhost:4316. It's very basic at the moment, and it doesn't
+have any inbuilt security so if your church computer is on the internet
+or public network then you will need to consider the risks.
+
+Tim has been battling with text over video and has got it working on
+some systems, although not on all - but we're hoping to find a solution
+for all platforms soon. He has also given us line spacing adjustments,
+the ability to override the output resolution if preparing a service for
+a computer with a different setup, the show desktop and theme output
+buttons are now working, some nice drag and drop improvements and an
+improved Nursery Alert system.
+
+Meanwhile Jon has been working on saving the application layout so
+everything looks the same as when you last ran it, a recent file list
+and a fair bit of cleaning up after the mess some of us other devs leave
+behind :)
+
+Raoul has made some improvements to the song editor to allow author
+names to be typed in and auto-completed, which is easier than choosing
+from a big list. Finally, in development are also some
+internationalisation fixes, song import wizard improvements and one
+developer has also been experimenting with spell-check, but we'll have
+to wait and see if this makes it into the final version.
+
+Alpha 2 is still a fair way off, but as you can see there are going to
+be a good number of improvements. If you want to see what we're hoping
+to achieve, then please check out our Milestone page

+With the development of openlp.org 2.0, and a new database format in
+2.0, we are (obviously) going to be writing a converter to convert
+databases from 1.0 format to 2.0 format. A little bit of discussion
+around the converter in the IRC channel last night gave us a brilliant
+idea: make the converter web-based.
+
+Having a web-based converter means that we have a central converter that
+we can control, and things can happen instantly and in one place. This
+means that the bugs you find will be fixed fairly quickly. It also means
+that we can add features easily, and you don't have to download yet
+another application or upgrade your existing application.
+
+As of this moment, I haven't started working on the converter yet, but
+it will be my main priority over the next while, as we developers need
+it to migrate our own existing databases!
+
+That's all for now, God bless!

+A few days ago, sjpslabbert asked the question in a forum post how many
+people are using OpenLP? As I said in the reply, it's close to
+impossible to answer that question. All we know is that we average 100
+downloads a day, there were over 16000 downloads of version 1.0.1, this
+site has over 2500 registered users and we are approaching 200 fans on
+facebook.
+
+What we don't know is how many of those downloads are new users who go
+on to use OpenLP regularly.
+
+So I thought perhaps we could add a page to our wiki where users could
+add their church, if using OpenLP. However since the wiki is currently
+focused towards v2.0 development it wasn't really appropriate. Also as
+good as a list is (e.g. see Drupal's) it needs to be maintained and not
+everyone knows their alphabet. I know this from my churches pre-OpenLP
+days trying to keep our large box of OHP transparencies in order!
+
+So then I wondered if we could use google maps. I had seen the map of
+OpenLP developers locations on launchpad and investigated doing the same
+for OpenLP users.
+
+The keen eyed among you will have spotted the **Worldwide Usage** on the
+left hand menu. If you a regular OpenLP user, or hope to be, it would be
+great if you log into your Google account, head over to the map, click
+the edit button. Then just drag a placemarker to your churches location
+(you might want to zoom in a bit) and put a little comment with the name
+of your church and how you use it.
+
+Over time this will then give us an idea of where the regular users are
+and perhaps might even help us know which translations or culture
+specific features will benefit the most people.
+
+*And whilst I'm blogging*... As some of you know, I maintain a few
+utilities to help do a few things with openlp which are not currently
+built in. You'll be pleased to know that the 2.0 team are doing a good
+job at incorporating some of this functionality into the new version.
+However a new budding utilityist has wandered onto our shores, cowjam.
+He has written a web-based OpenSong converter, which I'm sure will be
+easier to use than mine and helps add functionality to the opensong
+importer built into 1.2. If you have need to import opensong songs or
+bibles, please check it out.

+everyone?
+
+The only limitation, will be that they have to use **free** fonts and
+**free** images. Please submit your fonts with your exported theme files
+if necessary to either derekscotney[at]openlp.org or

+
+We look forward to seeing what you have put together.

+|Windows 8|
+
+We've had a number of reports recently of users with Windows 8 being
+unable to run OpenLP. Unfortunately from our side we have not had any
+problems with our tests on Windows 8. If you have Windows 8 `please
+contact us <http://openlp.org/en/support>`_ to let us know your
+experiences, both good and bad. Even if everything is working perfectly
+fine, we want to know that.
+
+We also need a few technically-inclined people who are experiencing
+these issues to help us figure out what is going wrong. You should be
+comfortable with the command line as there are a number of technical
+bits and pieces that you will need to do, such as installing Python and
+some of OpenLP's dependencies.
+
+Secondly, we have found two regressions in version 2.0, which have been
+fixed but are waiting for a release. The first is an issue with
+transparent themes which are `no longer
+transparent <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp/+bug/1085609>`_, and the
+second is a `bug in the export
+function <https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp/+bug/1085921>`_.
+
+Interestingly, we never realised how much the export feature was used
+until it was broken. We've had quite a number of folks reporting the
+issue.
+
+If you are experiencing either of these issues on Windows or Mac OS X
+then we recommend downgrading to version 1.9.12, `which can still be
+found on
+SourceForge <http://sourceforge.net/projects/openlp/files/openlp/1.9.12/>`_.
+Users on Linux can either patch their version of OpenLP with help from
+us, or sit tight until we make a bugfix release.
+
+We're hoping to make a release sometime in December.
+
+**Release Update**
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+We're hoping to release version 2.0.1 on Sunday the 6th of January, the
+first release of the new year.

+|Windows|
+
+Recently we have had users `report issues with
+OpenLP <http://forums.openlp.org/discussion/1906/openlp-1-9-12-crashes-on-my-windows-vista-laptop/p1>`_
+running on certain installs of Windows with an error about DEP. This
+seems to be mostly on Windows Vista but could possibly be an issue with
+more recent versions of Windows. DEP stands for Data Execution
+Prevention. In short this is to prevent malicious programs from using
+memory in a way that it shouldn't. That is a really poor description,
+but the `folks at Wikipedia have a detailed
+description <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Execution_Prevention>`_.
+You can `find out more from Microsoft
+too <http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Data-Execution-Prevention-frequently-asked-questions>`_.
+
+When a program you know you can trust experiences an issue with DEP you
+should be able to `disable DEP for that
+program <http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Change-Data-Execution-Prevention-settings>`_.
+There is an issue, however, chances are if you try this method OpenLP
+will not be listed (manually selecting the exe will also not work from
+my experience). This will make it impossible to disable DEP for OpenLP
+and to use OpenLP. This leaves us at Plan B, disabling DEP system wide.
+From my reading this doesn't apear to put you at a terribly greater
+security risk if you have good safe computing practices. Using system
+restore (creating a restore point), backing up your system, contacting
+your systems administrator, and all other warnings are in play here
+since this will in theory weaken your computer's security.
+
+Now you are aware what this does, here is how to disable DEP and get
+OpenLP running.
+
+First, you need to open an elevated command prompt or administrative
+command prompt. If you are unsure how to do that, Vista x64 has a great
+`guide on how to do
+it <http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/181765-elevated-command-prompt.html>`_.
+
+Next enter this command into the elevated command prompt:
+
+**bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx AlwaysOff**
+
+You should get a message back letting you know the changes have been
+made successfully.
+
+Close the command prompt and all running applications then reboot your
+machine. 
+
+OpenLP should now start and run for you. If you want to enable DEP later
+open an elevated command prompt and enter:
+
+**bcdedit.exe /set {current} nx OptIn**
+
+Reboot and DEP is now enabled again.
+
+These instructions were taken from `instructions on the Vista x64
+site <http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/120778-dep-enable-disable.html>`_
+I suggest you give it a look also.
+
+This may not be the best way to do this as we don't seem to have any
+real DEP/Windows experts here so if you have a better way let us know in
+the comments below and if it checks out we will update the blog entry.

+howdy folks,
+
+apologies to all for the silence, things have been rather hectic here in
+cape town, we've been having trouble with electricty, meaning that i'm 2
+weeks behind at work, never mind with stuff at home. anyways, i've
+started grabbing an hour here and there to work on openlp.org 1.0, and
+i'm pleased to say that it looks like i've nearly got the CCLI Song
+Select licked.
+
+so once that's done, and if there aren't any other bugs that we know of,
+then i'm going to release RC1. unfortunately i can't give a decent
+estimate of when i'm going to release it, but i'll keep you updated via
+my blog.
+
+raoul...
