Snapshot for g983b780 for ELSSearch Alpha Testing

KJPBS Alpha pre-release for users to start testing and experimenting with the new ELSSearch (Equidistant Letter Sequence Search) functionality at commit 983b780.

Windows x86_64 version

using Qt 6.5.3:
KingJamesPureBibleSearch-snapshot-20250318-g983b780-Windows-Qt_6.5.3-x86_64.zip
Download and unzip the attached snapshot and launch the KingJamesPureBibleSearch app. If an error is encountered when running KJPBS, install the MSVC Runtime (vc_redist.x64.exe), which is also included in the snapshot or is also available from Microsoft's website.

Note for Windows users (particularly Windows 11 users): Since this snapshot isn't signed, it may be necessary to disable Smart App Control in your system settings in order to run it.

Linux x86_64 version

using Qt 5.15.2 from Jenkins AppImage build on 2025-03-18-02:12:23 for Bionic and newer kernels of the Debian-based family of distros (it also has been reported to work on the Fedora family of distros too):
KingJamesPureBibleSearch-250318021223-g983b780-bionic-Qt_5.15.2-x86_64.AppImage
Download the AppImage file, make the file executable, which you can do either by right-clicking the file in the File Manager, go to the permissions tab, and enable it as a program. Or use the chmod tool from a terminal window. Then, just run the AppImage by double-clicking it in the File Manager.

Note for Linux users: Since this AppImage was generated on the Jenkins build server, it only includes Bible Databases that are specifically checked into the KJPBS repository. There are, however, several additional experimental Bible databases that haven't been "officially" released yet that were manually added to the Windows and MacOS bundles, since those bundles aren't currently built via a CI server. These specifically include things like the full King James database with Strongs Numbers and the Open-Scriptures Hebrew Bible (which may be useful if you want to experiment with some of the original ELS searches in Hebrew).

If you wish to experiment with these other database files on your Linux version, you will need to manually add them to your AppImage. The easiest way is to download the Windows .zip file, extract and locate the ccdb files in the db subfolder. Then, extract your Linux AppImage by running it in a terminal window with the --appimage-extract argument. You can then copy the desired database files to the extracted location and simply run KJPBS from the extracted AppImage with the full set of database files. You can also use the --appimage-help argument for more AppImage usage instructions.

And optionally, if you wish to then put that back into an AppImage, you can download the AppImageTool and rebuild the AppImage afterward or use a loop mount. See https://superuser.com/questions/1301583/how-can-i-extract-files-from-an-appimage for more details on that process.

MacOS x86_64/ARM64 Universal version

using Qt 6.5.3. Requires a newer MAC with Sonoma or higher!

Note for Mac users: this snapshot is not signed. If you download it using your browser, the GateKeeper software on your MacOS will set the quarantine tag on the file and attempts at running the application from the mounted disk image will report that the file is damaged or corrupt.

There are at least two ways around this. You can either download the image from the terminal window using the curl tool or wget tool, which doesn't set the quarantine flag. Or, you can use the xattr tool to remove the quarantine flag from the disk image after downloading it from your browser.

The second option is probably easiest, since most users are accustom to downloading files using their browser. After downloading the disk image file using your browser as usual, run the following two commands from a terminal window. Note this assumes you've downloaded the image to your Downloads folder that's underneath your home folder. If you downloaded it elsewhere, change the path on the cd command here accordingly:

cd ~/Downloads
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine KingJamesPureBibleSearch-snapshot-20250318-g983b780-MacOS-Qt_6.5.3-universal.dmg

Do this to the .dmg disk image file BEFORE you mount the image! After you use the above to remove the quarantine flag, you can double-click and mount the disk image of the app as usual and even copy the KingJamesPureBibleSearch.app bundle that it contains to a folder on your system drive. It won't be necessary to remove the quarantine flag again unless you download it (or different image) again.

Note that you might also need to enable unsigned applications and/or applications from unknown developers in your system settings!
