Hi,

Forgive me because this probably is an FAQ – but how long until the next ‘official’ OpenLP drops?

I ask because as an (extremely casual) developer I’ve scratched a couple of my own itches to do with search by Topic and Copyright, and ‘natural’ sorting for song number. I have a few churches who are particularly keen to get hold of these; at present it is possible to fill out the Topic field in particular, but never use it – since as far as I am aware it is not exposed in the interface for the user to actually use. The ‘natural’ song search helps with songs that have alphanumeric numbering to be displayed the a ‘natural’ order:
                https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp/+bug/1000729
                https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp/+bug/1280295

As you’ll see these dropped into ‘trunk’ nearly 2 and a half years ago but haven’t yet been released. I’ve been encouraging the churches to wait but it seems to be taking a long time! Even the last ‘please wait’ placeholder blog post is 10 months old – how long until 2.5 hits the ground? https://openlp.org/blog/2017/11/12/progress-on-openlp-25

Sorry to pester as if I had the time/energy to speed this up I would and I know nobody’s paid to do this – but two and a half years feels like a while to be patient 😊 Hope you understand my frustration!

From a regular user and extremely occasional developer 😊
Chris
