## The Greek Text for the ULB
The ULB was originally based on the American Standard Version (ASV) of 1901, which is in the public domain. But it had to come to terms with various advances in the field of textual criticism. The ASV's Greek New Testament source is the Westcott-Hort critical text. Since then many New Testament texts and fragments have been discovered and the critical text of the New Testament has been updated many times. The two dominant Greek texts are identical, with the exception of punctuation and capitalization. These are the Nestle-Aland 28th edition (NA28) and the United Bible Society 5th edition (UBS5).
Because these modern critical texts are copywritten, it was decided to take an eclectic approach to the Greek source text for the English ULB. However, it was later decided that a specific Greek text was needed to create Greek resources, such as the Greek lexicon. So the ULB was updated with an open license Greek New Testament as its source text. This is the Open Greek New Testament (OGNT).

## Branches
We do not make changes in the master branch. If we were to do that, the version accessible through BIEL would be updated each time a change is made, while the version in the translation apps would not. This causes confusion when people find that the versions they are looking at are different. So instead, we make our changes in a temporary branch. When it is decided to merge the temporary branch into the master branch, IT will also update the version in all the apps.
In January 2023, we started a new branch called June23. We expect to merge it in June 2023 at the end of the winter volunteer season. At that time we will need to start a new branch--perhaps called December2023.
