New Features in 8.0.5 (August 31, 08):

Accordance 8.0.5 provides improved import of HTML files into user tools, and more options for the export of selected text.

Keyboard shortcuts were changed as follows: option-command-X removes selected verses from the Reference List window, and shift-command-N adds a new folder to the Library window (instead of F).

This is in addition to the fixes in 10.3 for the two serious crashes on some Intel Macs (in 8.0 to 8.0.2). One occurred when printing to certain HP printers from OS 10.5.3 on the iMac. The other happened on opening the 3D Map window on Macs which use an NVidia graphics chipset with OS 10.5.2 or above.

Each release also corrects known bugs.
