Version 1.4=========Better font support for devices with JellyBean and above

Version 1.3/1.2==========Copy/Share/Bookmark verses. Swipe left/right for chapter navigation.

Version 1.1=======

For devices with Android v2.2+, preferred location of the app is SD card. Content database will be installed in SD card, if SD card is available. So app now requires permission to write to SD card.

Now you can customize the app through preferences menu available under device menu button.

Available options are:Languages - Select primary and secondary languages to displayDisplay Layout - Choose one of the three layout options for displaying multiple versionsFont Size - Increase/decrease content font sizeTheme - Select one of five background colorsUnicode Rendering - If your device (e.g: LG Optima) does't display Unicode characters properly, try "Alternate Fix" or "No Fix"

Malayalam content for this App is obtained from "The Complete Malayalam Bible In Unicode Ver 2.4" encoded by Nishad Kaippally. It may have minor errors. Any help in proof checking will be greatly appreciated. I will push updates to the content as a new version as it is available.

English content for this app is obtained from public domain.

Disclaimer: As Android doesn't support complex text layout for Malayalam unicode characters yet, there were some non-standard ways used to get the rendering (Like reordering the unicode characters on the fly, etc.) as a temporary solution due to Google's total disregard for incorporating the scripts of over 1.2 billion people. Author of the Malayalam content for this app doesn't endorse any non-standard implementation used in this app as it is counter productive to the objective of the project.
