• Accordance will apply consistent line breaks around pericope headings for all verse displays and paragraph breaks.
• Septuagint modules were errantly presented as NT source texts.
• The Default Hebrew Syntax Database preference would not support the Holmstedt option.
• Minor update to the Greek and Hebrew gloss file.
• Remove brace support from transliterate languages.

• Certain older modules would cause a crash when scrolling.

Miscellaneous Fixes
 

• User Tools could not import simple PDFs and would result in only page separators (e.g. pg1, pg2, etc).

• The default Text Browser Group was not being saved properly.
• The Location URL in a Bibliography citation could have garbled text for certain modules.

• Updated support email address and removed old sales email address.
• A crash could occur when canceling an EasyInstall/Updates file download.
