We have a beta version of Publishing Assistant 2.5 ready for field testing. This release includes the ability to typeset side-by-side column diglots. You are invited to be a tester for this release. If interested please download and install the file "PubAssist_2,5,0.PUD" from the following location:
Notes
- This release has been subjected to in-house testing and appears to be stable, however if you run into any serious problems you can always revert to the previous release. It can be downloaded at:
- Instructions for using the new diglot features can be found the file named "How to Layout a Diglot with Publishing Assistant.rtf". This file will be installed into the "Program Files\Paratext 6\PubAssist" folder.
- Please evaluate the software and let us know how well it works for you. We are interested in knowing:
- Are there bugs in the software? If they are reproducible then please list the steps. Perform a debug backup if you can and send it with the bug report.
- Is it laying out pages as you would expect? What did you expect?
- Are there any features you would like to see added? Please list them and indicate how important they are.
- Must have features - cannot typeset job without them
- Important features - Can typeset job but it doesn't look correct.
- Would be nice features
- Are the instructions correct and easy to understand? Any suggestions you have will improve this for everyone.
- The task of laying out a diglot is complex and takes longer than it does for a basic bible. If the process seems too slow you may want to consider adding memory to your computer and/or upgrading the processor.
Please send your bug reports and comments directly to Ron Rother rrother@ubs-icap.org. Thanks in advance for your help.
