Versions:
Xiphos 4.3.2, the current stable release from The Xiphos Development Team, is an open-source Bible-study suite built on GTK that runs natively on Linux, UNIX, and Windows. Designed for scholars, pastors, and lay readers, the software provides a single workspace in which Bibles, commentaries, dictionaries, maps, and images from the cross-platform SWORD Project library can be opened side-by-side, searched, bookmarked, and compared in parallel columns or separate tabs. Original-language tools support Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts with morphology and Strong’s numbers, while the integrated BibleSync protocol keeps study groups synchronized across local networks or the Internet. Advanced search accepts regular expressions, range limits, and combined queries; results can be filtered, exported, or saved as topical bookmarks that persist between sessions. Additional modules—lexicons, daily devotionals, liturgical readings, and out-of-copyright classics—are downloaded on demand from the built-in repository, giving users a expandable library without leaving the program. Interface layouts, colour schemes, and font sizes are fully configurable, and the optional tabbed or MDI view lets researchers organise multiple texts and notes in one window. Released under the GPL, Xiphos has progressed through two major version lines, with 4.3.2 representing the mature GTK3 branch that maintains compatibility with modern distributions while preserving the stability valued in earlier 3.x builds. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are supplied through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
