Added

- We added the option to define fields as "multine" directly in the custom entry types dialog. #6448
Changed
- We changed database structure: in MySQL/MariaDB we renamed tables by adding a JABREF_ prefix, and in PGSQL we moved tables in jabref schema. We added VersionDBStructure variable in METADATA table to indicate current version of structure, this variable is needed for automatic migration. #9312

Fixed

- In case a journal name of an IEEE journal is abbreviated, the "normal" abbreviation is used - and not the one of the IEEE BibTeX strings. abbrv#91

- We fixed an issue where the last opened libraries were not remembered when a new unsaved library was open as well. #9190
- We fixed an issue where no context menu for the group "All entries" was present. forum#3682
- We fixed an issue where extra curly braces in some fields would trigger an exception when selecting the entry or doing an integrity check. #9475, #9503
- We fixed an issue where entering a date in the format "YYYY/MM" in the entry editor date field caused an exception. #9492

Version: 2.9.2
Using OS 10.8.4 on an iMac and a MacbookPro with Safari 6.0.5 I have repeatedly downloaded JabRef 2.9.2, and 2.9, from MacUpdate and from SourceForge, and always when I try to run it gives the message that it is damaged and must be trashed. I am sure that if I could run it I could give a good rating, but I cannot run it.
