• 2.4 - A private interrim version that was never released publicly
• 2.5 - Added feature to allow for reading plans that only contain entire chapters; added feature to automatically check for new releases; added installer.

Warnings Downloading / Installing?

Your browser may display a warning when downloading the installer:

The installer is an "executable file"; they aren't documents you open but programs that do things. The warning is there to stop you downloading such files without thinking, believing them to be (say) a word processing document, and then running a program that turned out to be malicious.

In the case of Bible Reading Plan Generator, you are intending to download a file that will install software, so this warning is not a problem for you.

You may then get another warning when you run the software:

Windows comes with a tool called Windows Defender SmartScreen, which analyses software before you run it. If it knows about a program, it stays silently in the background. If it knows it's malicious, it will stop you. If it simply hasn't heard of the programme, it will stop you, but there is a way to continue.

Click "More info" (highlighted above). You'll now see that "Don't run" is no longer your only option:

If you are absolutely sure you trust this app, click "Run anyway", and you're away!
