OakTree has done it again: a point-one update that smacks of a new release packed with great new features.

Here is the official announcement posted to the Accordance Forums:

The latest update to the Accordance application is now available for download. In addition to minor bug fixes and enhancements, Accordance 7.2 offers the following major new features:

* User Bible Import: You can now import your own custom Bible modules into Accordance from a text file!
* Horizontal Resource Palette: You can now choose to orient the Resource palette horizontally rather than vertically.
* Prior and Next Buttons in the Search window: As you navigate to different passages using the Go To Box, or by following a hypertext link, you can now use the Prior and Next buttons to retrace your steps.
* Larger Text Access Buttons: The verse, chapter, and book buttons are now larger, more colorful, and easier to hit with the mouse.
* Highlight Printing: You can now print any color highlighting you’ve done, as well as the Compare Texts highlighting.
* Polytonic Greek Keyboard Option: Those who are used to entering Greek with the Polytonic Greek keyboard can now customize Accordance to enter Greek using that keyboard layout.
* Custom Tag Arrangement: You can now customize the order in which grammatical tags appear in the Instant Details Box and Parsing window. If you prefer “nominative masculine singular” to “masculine singular nominative,” re-order the tags however you like!

In addition to these major features, Accordance 7.2 includes a host of minor improvements. This latest update includes so much, in fact, that we could easily charge for it; but it is free to all users of version 7.0 or above!

Even more new features are listed here. Please download the installer/updater here.

In an upcoming review we’ll see just how important these enhancements are. Meanwhile, the official press release can be found at the Announcements section of the Bible Software Review Forum.
