Davar3 - BETA2 version is out! This is bug-fix version and only small new features were added:

* HELP in English, Czech and Portugese.
We spend lot of time with help files to have it well readable. You can learn in help all D3 features, find there examples, all with many pictures. Pressing F1 (or starting from menu) will show help file, according actual language. If you use different language than EN, CZ or PT - then English help is used by default. All help files are included in "Basic sample package-Option I."
IF YOU WISH TO HELP TO LOCALIZE HELP FILE - let us know!

* New localizations: Finnish (T.Sakkara). Davar3 has now 12 language localizations.
Because language localization files depends on executable version, we removed LNG files download from web. Each Davar3 release will have latest version of localization. After final Davar3 release, new and updated localizations will be available as one ZIP package.

* Localised names of book. Now you can use localised name of books in Bible in all opened modules, even when module is in different language. Localised names are stored in LNG files - you can easily edit.
