DESCRIPTION
JabRef is a graphical frontend to manage BibTeX databases, the standard LaTeX bibliography reference format. JabRef is build to be platform independant (requires Java 1.4.2 or newer). It merges and extends the functionalities of BibKeeper (Morten O. Alver) and JBibtexManager (Nizar Batada).
WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.6:
- Made it possible to define customized entry types with either-or conditions on required fields, e.g. using a pseudo-field called "author/editor" will indicate that the entry requires either the "author" or the "editor" field set.
- Now uses lock files to prevent more than one instance of JabRef from saving at the save time, and protects from loading half-written files.
- Added "Default" export formatter which can output a default value for empty fields.
- Added option to not enforce BibTeX-legal keys.
- Modified launcher script for Windows installer to give higher heap size limit.
- Improved autocompletion.
- Improved group autogeneration.
- Improvements to several import and export filters.
- Cleaned up settings for external links so the chosen browser will always be used
for web links.
- Fixed JStor, ACM and IEEEXplore fetchers and added ScienceDirect fetcher.
- Many minor improvements and many bug fixes.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later, Java 1.5 or later.
