What we’ve shipped

Collapsing the sidebar no longer shoves the book scrubber off-center, stacks Vocabulary on top of Highlight, or glues Reading plan day labels to their references. Notes opens as one column again, dock tabs stay short pills, and the companion “New conversation” control is the same chat-bubble everywhere.

Opening a Word Study section animated a rotation for people who have asked their device for no motion. The section still opens, just without the spin.

A required third-party script was reporting its own failures as if they were ours; anything that actually reaches Selah's code is still reported.

It shows the matching words, the same as every other direction already did. This affected 57 existing highlights in the translation people read most.

Adjusting the selection updated the highlight where you made it but left the cross-translation position pointing at the old words.

Since titles carry references ("Comfort. My People (Isaiah 40)"), naming a draft after its passage links it immediately instead of waiting for the next content edit.

A library past ~400 beliefs now opens in the grouped view by default (your own choice always wins once made), and past ~800 the map settles fully before appearing instead of animating — measured at the largest real library, the animated settle could not hold a frame. Group names on the map are darker so they can actually be read.

What a note is about comes from what you write in it, not where you happened to be standing — and the anchor it used to send was malformed anyway.

Highlight "He that believeth on him is not condemned" in KJV, switch to BSB, and you used to get the whole verse shaded with an "adjusted" tag. Now you get "Whoever believes in Him is not condemned" — the matching words. No more nudging highlights back into place by hand.

even if your preferred Bible is NASB, NLT, or CSB. Those surfaces cannot report licensed reading the way the app can, so they use BSB (or another public-domain edition) instead.

rather than a vague "couldn't load" message — and it no longer also pops the global paywall on every chapter turn.

The doctrine/theme label is a coin flip in the data — the same idea lands on either side depending on the day it was read — so showing two clusters drew a boundary that wasn't really there. People, places, events and books keep their own neighbourhoods.

They existed to let you correct the old guesswork. There's nothing to correct now, so there's nothing to click. A highlight that can't be placed precisely still shades the whole verse, which is honest rather than approximate.

now says the preference applies when reading in Selah; email and Telegram devotionals stay public-domain.

Signed-out lookup and the anonymous chapter route no longer expose paid editions.

Pick any of them in the translation picker the same way you pick KJV or BSB. Copyright stays on the passage so the publisher notice is always visible.

Chapters load through the signed-in chapter route; Plus still gates access.

Tapping a devotional session in the stream tried to load it as a companion chat, which it isn't, so it failed every time. Devotionals now open properly.

Selah only ever looked for scripture references when you edited a note, so anything brought in through Import had none — and because Selah uses those references to judge how well-rooted a belief is, a whole imported library could look thin when it was not. One library here went from 1 note with references to 90, and from 14 beliefs with any scripture behind them to 774. It also reads the title now, since a sermon called "Comfort. My People (Isaiah 40)" often never writes the reference out in the text.

The check that stops Selah merging different kinds of things only worked between people, places, books and events. It now also covers the line between those and ideas — the case that had quietly folded a teaching about apostleship into the apostles themselves.

Whatever the size of your library, the map drew the 200 best-connected beliefs and said nothing about the rest. On the largest library here that is 200 out of 1,877. It now draws everything, and the beliefs it used to hide were exactly the ones you have studied once and not written about yet — the ones you are most likely looking for.

, with a handful of labels filling the screen. It now frames itself once the layout has settled rather than while it is still moving.

A third map view sits beside the constellation and the ring. Same living map — doctrines, themes, people, places, events and books each settle into their own neighbourhood, with the name of each one floating beside it. Links still run between neighbourhoods, and you can still drag anything where you want it.
