On 1 January 2011, Rick released
e-Sword 9.8.1.
I have played with it some. (I've been writing documentation for
e-Sword 7.9.2.
An e-Sword Users Manual.)
e-Sword 9.8.1 sports a new menu item:
Download.
The changes page proclaims: "A New Module Downloader is now built into the program." e-Sword has had a download function since the days of
e-Sword 7.9. What is new, is the configuration, and amount of data about the resource that it displays.
The first column states if the resource is installed, or can be downloaded. I'm not sure what it is keying on, because for topical files, it said everything could be downloaded. However, everything in that list is already installed. I noticed the same thing with other resources.
The second column ---
Caption --- is what appear in the tab.
The third column,
Title, is interesting. The title is either Blue or Black. Resources that can be downloaded are in blue. Installed resources are black. Resources that have been released within the last year are blue.
The fourth column,
Comments, provides copyright information.
The fifth column,
Size, is the size of the resource in bytes, on one's hard drive.
The sixth column,
Date, is the date the resource was released in e-Sword format. If the date is in red, it was released within the last year. If it was released more than a year ago, it is in black. (I did notice a couple of exceptions, but that seems to be the pattern.)
To download and install the new resource, simply click on the title. That is what the tooltip says to do. I tried it, and received various error messages stating that it was unable to connect to the Internet. These messages are not unexpected, since I run e-Sword with WINE, on a Linux. box Dansguardian probably enhances the connectivity issues.
One potential issue --- especially for new users --- is finding the
Bible Illustrations resource from AMG. It is not listed in the
Resource Download Manager. It can be purchased from
http://www.e-sword.net/illustrations.html. This is the resource that actives the Sermon Illustration Component.
The changes log also states that
Search Routines have been enhanced. Since I had not finished comprehensive testing of e-Sword 9.7.2, I'm not sure what is new, and what is not.
The following Regex search can be done:

I think that there have been more changes to searching in languages that do not use the Latin writing system:
* I could do successful searches in the
Allepo Codex, but not the
BHS nor
WLC. However, the latter two contain nikkud and cantillation, whilst the former does not;
* Searching in Greek seemed to work in more resources than previously;
* I've always had issues in searching Chinese text. The test searches I did seemed more accurate than those I've previously done. More precisely, the number of hits was much closed to the number obtained when searching the same phrase in English, using the KJV-A.
* I've never tried search in Japanese before, but it seemed to work correctly. On the other hand, I received less hits for "神" than I expected;
* I don't remember how well Korean search used to do, but "천지를" produced 15 hits. By way of contrast, The Cambridge KJV-A produced 27 hits for the exact phrase "Heaven and Earth";
* I couldn't find my Aramaic resources, so I did not do any searches with that language.:(
[It turns out that I had not yet installed them on my desktop. I have not yet migrated my laptop to e-Sword 9.8.1. That will happen when I release
An e-Sword Users Manual.]
I did not text "Extended Search" for e-Sword 7.9.2. I could do sucessful Regex searches with Extended search in e-Sword 9.8.1.
Something else I noticed is that resources that do not conform to
e-Sword Resource Format Specification 2 are not going to be searchable. Those points of failure might not be obvious in English language content, but they are very obvious in Spanish content. In resources that do not use the Latin writing system, the failure is immediately obvious.
