Greetings, earthlings, and whoever else reads these mailing lists. The BibDesk development team is pleased to announce that BibDesk 1.3.6 is now available for download at http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net. This release sports some minor new features, but numerous bugs have been fixed since the release of 1.3.5. Hence, users should probably upgrade soon, since this version is definitely worth every penny of the upgrade fee.
Many thanks to those of you who submitted bug or exception reports. A couple of users were kind enough to provide their bib files as well, which enabled us to fix a couple of bugs. Please continue to file bug reports via the site linked from BibDesk's Help menu, including steps to reproduce the problem. For those of you who are dying to see if your pet bug has been fixed or feature has been added, more-or-less complete release notes are provided for your disappointment...or possibly extreme happiness. Changes since 1.3.5 +++ New Features +++ * MODS parsing is now supported (limited translation via Library of Congress' MODS-MARC XSLT) * Keys in citation fields are now clickable links in the detail preview * Can copy text from Skim notes outline view * Windows now have a publication and author property in AppleScript, so you can reliably get a reference to a publication from an editor window * Improved EndNote XML export (RFE #1722003) * Skim notes are now supported in templates * Standard error (console) output will now be included with exception reports +++ Bugs Fixed +++ * Linked files are always opened using the viewer set in prefs (bug #1719152) * When using the file viewer set in prefs, path extension comparisons are done case-insensitively * Fixed a potential race condition in the exception viewer * Moved extended attribute-based encoding check so it occurs before parsing a file (bug #172276) * Path to LyX pipe is now found by searching for the application support folder with the newest version number, or a default location * Menu item titles for Skim notes now mention Skim * Error message when a shell task fails now includes more information * We now check for network availability using SystemConfiguration instead of CFNetDiagnostics, since CFNetDiagnosticCopyNetworkStatusPassively lies about modem connection status * Exceptions while launching atos are now caught (just in case) * Attempted to fix an unreproducible exception when copy/pasting from a PDF view * Fixed document copying from the context menu of PDF views, which always provided the page instead * Re-enabled multiple threads in BDSKAsynchronousDOServer's NSConnection, which should fix an exception reported when enabling Bonjour sharing (added comment so I don't accidentally break that again) * Publications are once again selected correctly after leaving the File Content search (this broke in the recent search revision) * Fixed another valueOfMacro: exception/crash (only occurred if you used an @string definition in an author name) * Fixed Apple bug in scripting of colors * File Matcher no longer allows adding directories via drag-and-drop * Fixed a crash in the File Matcher * Some UI code is accessed later in the application's launch cycle for greater safety * Avoid losing row selection when removing table columns * Don't clear the document's searchfield when using Find & Replace (bug #1737534) * Relative paths now sort correctly in the main table * MARC parser now allows numbers in the encoding field of the leader (which is invalid MARC, bug #1738597) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
