TYA Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Great day. I currently have "Biblical Archaeology Review" (BAR) v. 1.2 and I see an update to v. 1.3 that is nearly 1GB in size. Can someone please advise what has been updated? Specifically, I mean, was new content added that constitutes this 1GB increase in size? Thank you.

lesterchua Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I am always of the impression that Accordance does not do incremental updates. Meaning that a small change will result in a full download of a new version of the resource. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Allison Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) I am always of the impression that Accordance does not do incremental updates. Meaning that a small change will result in a full download of a new version of the resource. Correct. When a module is updated, even if the change is very minor, the entire module is re-downloaded. However, with large modules like BAR, we try to save corrections until they reach a critical mass that makes it worth downloading a file of that size. In this case, there were miscellaneous spelling and formatting corrections, and a lot of references that had been untagged are now functional hyperlinks.

rgallo Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Hello One thing I noticed in this module was how blurry the text and pictures are. Especially the black and white photos. Very difficult to read the text. These problems need to be corrected too. Thanks rg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leopold Green Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 But the caption for the images seem to have dropped a couple of lines and don't always show now - plus the font is tiny - is that something which could be improved 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drewster Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 But the caption for the images seem to have dropped a couple of lines and don't always show now - plus the font is tiny - is that something which could be improved I can confirm my pic has the same resolution as yours. I'm on a big monitor (Windows desktop 28" screen); none of my pics have captions. I made images full screen and separate zone and never do I see a caption. I looked at images in other visual resources I have and no captions there, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diatheke76 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I read last year that we would soon be getting more journals, but I haven’t seen anything yet. Also more Spanish resources. Any update on these two claims? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at the BAR page in the store and the screen shots showing the product were of very low (read unusable) resolution. I then checked the links for the "release announcement" and the links there for screenshots show "404 - Page not found". I then tried the "see an extensive review in the original BAR release" only to see the "404 - Page not found". Not complaining .... just letting you know what I am seeing when trying to find out more information for a potential purchase. thanks John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
