STEPBible download version 24.2.2

[dmckinnon78]

Today we released STEPBible standalone version 24.2.2, which can be downloaded from here.  Instructions to install the app and to add more Bibles are also found on the web page.

This standalone version provides the same functionality as www.stepbible.org, and will work with future Bibles using custom versification, which are in the works.

Please let us know if you have any questions or issues.

Hello. First, I apologise that this may not be exactly the right place to ask this question, but I don't know where or how else I can post this question on this forum. Please bear with me.

I have had STEP Bible v. 2.1.49 (released Nov. 2022) installed on my MacBook Air for a long time. It worked whenever I needed it, and I was happy with what it could do for me. But today I had a chance to recommend STEP Bible to someone who didn't already know about it. In doing so, I went to the website and found a new version v. 24.10.9 (released October 2024).

First thing I noticed was a change in version numbering system. It seems that the version number is based on the release year/month/date. Is this correct? I am ok with it, but I was a bit surprised by the big jump from 2.x.x to 24.x.x.

Secondly, when I downloaded and installed it, I was surprised that it installed as a folder, not as an application bundle like it used to before. Why did this change? I think it would be nicer if the whole thing can be wrapped into an application bundle, so that after installing it to my home directory, I can move into the main Applications folder as one item, and double-click on it (rather than an idem inside the folder) to launch the app. Unless there are good reasons why this change is necessary, I would like to request this to go back to the way it was, that the entire STEP Bible should install as a single application bundle on macOS platform.

Thank you.

Any one have a list of Proper/Personal Names and cities/villages in the Bible in excel file?

Where can I get it?

Thanks in advance.

Yes – we have this data in a number of forms:

 

• Go to  https://stepbible.github.io/STEPBible-Data/ and under ‘Datasets available’ click on TIPNR.  This should take you to a spreadsheet representation of the data (Google sheets I think) – although I suspect perhaps the file is rather big, because when I tried it just now, it refused to load and then timed out.

 

• Or you can go to https://github.com/STEPBible/STEPBible-Data/ and click TIPNR there to get a tab-separated variable form of the same data.

 

• Or I can supply you with a JSON version of the same data which is a bit easier to read (although we’re still to check that I’ve correctly transcribed it).  I don’t actually have an Excel version, but depending upon what you need, I might be able to create something using the JSON.

 

Regards,

 

Jamie
