Release notes

What’s new and what’s improved in BibleShield.

1.3.6 September 20, 2026 · Current release
Changed
  • Fully offline scripture — all scripture now ships bundled on-device in public-domain translations (KJV & ASV). Reading requires no network connection and no third-party API.
  • Removed api.bible dependency — replaced the remote Bible data provider with bundled offline assets.
Removed
  • WEB & BBE translations — the bundled library now includes KJV and ASV only.
1.2.0 September 6, 2026
Added
  • Multiple Choice Gate Interaction — lowered the friction for unlocking apps by replacing the manual word-typing requirement with a recognition-based multiple-choice selector.
  • api.bible Integration — switched the Bible data provider to api.bible (American Bible Society), enabling access to more translations and robust content.
  • Dynamic Distractor Generation — the gate now automatically generates contextually relevant distractors for the scripture challenge.
Changed
  • Immersive Gate UI — polished the gate screen with Material 3 filter chips for a more refined and responsive interaction.
  • Improved Parsing — enhanced the repository to robustly parse HTML-based scripture content into structured verse data.
  • Updated Translations — switched translation identifiers to match the new ABS provider (KJV, WEB, ASV, BBE).
Fixed
  • Improved handling of verse spans and formatting when fetching chapters.
