JabRef

JabRef is a graphical frontend to manage BibTeX databases, the standard format for LaTeX bibliography references. JabRef is built to be platform-independant (requires Java 8 or later).

Changed

• Added the option to update bibliographic information from DOI to the sidebar of the entryeditor
• The default shortcut for "Cleanup entries" is now Alt + F8 since F8 alone did not work; please reset your key bindings to get Alt + F8 as default

Fixed

• The formatter for normalizing pages now also can treat ACM pages such as 2:1--2:33
• Backslashes in content selectors are now correctly escaped
• Non-ISO timestamp settings prevented the opening of the entry editor
• When pressing Ctrl + F and the searchbar is already focused, the text will be selected
• LaTeX symbols are now displayed as Unicode for the author column in the main table; 'n and '{n} are parsed correctly
• If one deleted the current query it was not saved (every basepanel can have its own query)
• The ACM fetcher does no longer add HTML code to the bib-file
• When finding unlinked files, JabRef does not freeze any more
• Collapse and expand all buttons in the group assignment dialog no longer lead to a crash of JabRef
• The aux export command line function does no longer add duplicates of references that were resolved via crossref
• When the database is changed externally, JabRef is no longer prevented from an orderly shutdown
• Parsing of damaged metadata is now more robust and reports a more detailed error message
• Dynamic groups with regular expression can be edited again
