0.2.0.1
2014-10-28
  • No update notification at the moment but you can update manually by clicking on the link at the left
  • Optimizations for moving of storage location
  • Added DebugMode option in app settings. Use this if you are having troubles that are NOT causing a app crash. (App crash will send it's own report.
  • Some small other bugfixes
0.2.0.0
2014-10-27
  • No update notification
  • Full localization, you can import publications of different languages (currently supported: english, german)
  • Because of a bug on android it isn't possible to have the user interface in on language and use strings of another language at the same time. Because of that the userinterface locale may change too if you swap to another language.
  • Kindom ministry import from wol.jw.org (same as other publications) Please note: The "Kingdom ministry loaded from Online Library contains only content for linked publications that is available there. That means no publications prior 2000 or Organized-book content is present. The ePub files instead contain this content. Because of this the ePub import stays available. Note: It seems not to be possible to import all notes from "ePub-km" to "wol-km" in a later release!
  • Print function (uses GoogleCloudPrint ), prints the main article content and all of its notes/highlights incl. studyproject notes (if loaded), no bible texts/linked articles yet
  • Bible entry in book chooser (simply opens search function, use it the same way as before)
  • Bugfixes for devices running android before 4.1 (crash on opening settings and on moving divider in portrait mode, thanks for crash reports)
  • Added check if app was updated to 4.4.x or higher and storage location was set to sd-card. Because of Googles decision, the sd-card can not be used as before. You need to move the data to internal storage. The app will ask for this.
  • Bugfix: Images not showing after rotation
  • Lots of other Bugfixes, optimizations,...
  • Important! File cache needs to be converted on startup AND you have to be online on update because list of available publications needs to be reloaded!!
  • If someone wants to help extending the app to another language, please contact me (allofmex@web.de english/german). No coding abilities needed but prefered!

0.1.7.0
2014-02-03
  • Please read whole change log for this version before you update!
  • "Kingdom Ministry" import (from dropbox), configure in settings. (not all work done at the moment) If you have a book/tract/... loaded on your device, references in kingdom ministry will open this publication, else the citations from epub will be show. Note: if only citations are shown (at same place as bible citates) all highlights/notes will be saved in this kingdom ministry, NOT in publication itself! All Highlights are saved in the publication that is shown in main/center area.
  • Search for pagenumber in issues
  • Search for publication and page/chapter ("cl Kap. 20", "predig seite 84" (Predigtdienstschulbuch))
  • Bugfixes: search function working again (bible verses)
  • Bugfixes: crash bug when you reopen app after orientation change
  • A direct inApp update will fail this time! Last time I forgot to change an old package label. You need to download the apk to your device, uninstall JW Helper, and reinstall from this apk. Your content will be there, it ist stored seperatly and will not be deleted when you uninstall the app. On first start choose same storage location as last time! Sorry for that :-(
  • Note: For search and kingdom ministry references you must RELOAD publication that where loaded with previous app versions (page and chapter layout data will be included now). Reload must be done BEFORE km import!
