Greetings!
Haiola has been updated with a minor update to support some extra tags for true lossless round-trip conversion from USFX to USFM to USFX again. This is to support the USFX <ref> tag for reference hot links in the text, especially in cross reference notes. This feature was needed to support a specific Bible publication project that I'm working on, right now. The logic to derive <ref> tags from consistently-formatted human-readable Bible references in the usual places is still there. As usual, you can get the latest version of Haiola at http://haiola.org.
For a fully searchable parallel Bible study web application, check out http://eBible.org/study/. The inScript Bible Browser software there keeps getting better. Would you like to see parallel passages in the Gospels in your favorite Papua New Guinean or Vanuatu language? Check it out.
The eBible.org server pair, which supports 42 web sites, including Haiola.org and all of the Scripture sites listed in my "signature" block, below, has been wiped and rebuilt to recover from a hacker attack. Part of locking the server down to prevent recurrence was to change mail server software and to get rid of the mailing list software. Getting security and reliability on those things right turns out to be hard, and hard to justify when Google kindly provides the service we need for free. (OK, they make some money on ads, but they keep it unobtrusive.) Thank you for switching over to the Google Groups Haiola announcement list. The good news is than now, nobody is peddling illegal drugs using those servers, and since I upgraded hardware in the process, we now have 4 times the capacity for serving Bibles to the world.
