Internet Explorer 7 & Libronix DLS

Microsoft is encouraging all users of Internet Explorer to upgrade to version 7 because of its improved security features and performance. Indeed, Microsoft has been rolling Internet Explorer 7 out to users as a high priority security update since early 2007. So if you have Microsoft Windows set to automatically download and install updates, Windows will download IE7 silently and then prompt you to install it at that time.

What Does IE7 Mean for My Libronix Digital Library System?

Libronix DLS, the technology behind Logos Bible Software and products from publishing partners such as Thomas Nelson, Fortress Press, Galaxie, and others, depends on Internet Explorer to display reports such as Passage Guide, Exegetical Guide or Bible Word Study.

Unfortunately, the shipping version of IE7 that Microsoft released in late 2006 is incompatible with all versions of Libronix DLS prior to version 3.0b.

Therefore, we are recommending that all users update to the newest version of Libronix DLS.
