## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.4932 — 2021-02-13

This update includes an exciting new archeological discovery.  In January of 2021 it was announced that archeologists had found purple fabric from the time of David and Solomon.  Purple fabric is mentioned as a premiere luxury of the Old Testament time period.  Purple dyed fabric is mentioned more than 50 times in Scripture.  Having vivid purple fabric discovered shows the quality of such fabric from even fading over 3,000 years ago.  This addition is our 164th artifact in the app.  Enjoy experiencing the world of the Bible!

### 2.4922 — 2020-10-25

Addition of many new photos of biblical locations.  Yes, we mainly are showing where every location in the Bible occurs on modern satellite maps.  We also, however, have hundreds of photos from the ground of these locations. Many of these photos have historical significance and have been sourced from national archives.  Enjoy many new photos in the app!

### 2.4921 — 2020-08-29

Additions to several locations and photographs. This continues to be one of the most exhaustive Bible atlases available.

### 2.4920 — 2020-03-16

This fixes a major bug introduced in the previous update preventing the searching feature from working.  The code is now updated and is working better than ever.  Developer Kevin Morey is the best! Thank you Kevin for working on this ASAP until it was all fixed.

### 2.4919 — 2020-03-11

Thank you for everyone who is spreading word of the app!  It's been in the App Store for years but is getting more downloads than ever!  

This is a purely content update.  Several descriptions have been moved from the ISBE lengthy descriptions to more straightforward descriptions throughout the app.  The Smith Bible Dictionary was used heavily for many succinct location descriptions.
