Actually, you are quite right, I'm afraid. It is common practice that major releases are given a different number. So, e-Sword 8 <a href="http://www.bsreview.org/blog/2008/12/whats-missing-in-e-sword-8.html" rel="nofollow"><b>should have been</b></a> a major release (being, as is the case, an update of the previous e-Sword 7.x). To be honest, I think this program is rapidly lagging behind when you think of similar freeware applications. It has a very wide and faithful user base, but it has become obsolete in many ways. Thanks for your comment, Steve.

You call it a major upgrade. The only thing user can do now that we couldnt do in the past is change text colors? What a disappointing wait ! The user interface had never been updated since its creation. I cant remember a significant change in the past 2 years. ESword is losing ground fast. People would like to look at a software that has a XP or Vista look...not a Windows 3.1 look and feel. Whats new in ESword 8.04? You call it a major upgrade.
