0.15.2 - 2025-12-31

Fixed

• Fixed the pythonbible package README file to, for now, be a copy of the main project README file so that it displays in PyPI correctly.

v0.15.1

0.15.1 - 2025-12-31

Added

• Added an optional bible parameter to most public functions so that standard book, chapter, verse, and text definitions can be overridden by a specific Bible translation.

Changed

• Modified the values in the max verses dictionary to be the mode (instead of max) chapter/verse info across all versions/translations.
• Separated the Bible versions/translations into their own packages to reduce the file size of the main pythonbible package.
  • The main pythonbible package now only includes the ASV version by default.
  • Other versions/translations can be optionally installed along with the pythonbible package or separately as their own package.

Removed

• Removed all versions/translations except for ASV from the main pythonbible package to reduce file size.
  • Other versions/translations can be optionally installed along with the pythonbible package or separately as their own package.

0.15.0 - unreleased due to file size restrictions on PyPI

• Added several new English version/translation Bibles:

  • The Emphasized Bible by J. B. Rotherham (ROTHERHAM)
  • Geneva Bible (GB)

  • New Heart English Bible (NHEB)
  • Open English Bible (OEB)

  • Wycliffe Bible (WYC)
  • Young's Literal Translation of the Bible (YLT)
• Added functionality to the Bible class to be able to get the books, chapter numbers, and verse numbers for the given version/translation.

Changed

• BREAKING CHANGE: Modified the NormalizedReference class to allow start chapter, start verse, end chapter, and end verse to be None.
  • The parser has also been updated to set those values to None unless they are explicitly set in the reference string. As we added more version/translation Bible texts, we realized the differences in chapter and verse numbers between versions/translations was much greater than initially assumed. This change allows for more flexibility in handling those differences.
  • The formatter has also been updated to get the appropriate start chapter, start verse, end chapter, and end verse at format time rather than parse time.
• Moved all versions to be separate python packages that can be optionally installed.
  • The ASV version is still included as the default version.
• Updated release workflow to publish all version packages to PyPI as well as the pythonbible package.
  • The release workflow will compare the version of each package to the version in the previous tag/release and only publish if the version number has increased.
