[Adam R. M. <ama...@ma...>]

The BibDesk development team is pleased to announce that BibDesk  
1.2.2 is now available at <http://bibdesk.sf.net/>.  We have a number  
of new features in this release (notably some new file import types),  
as well as many bug fixes and performance improvements.

Thanks to those of you who reported bugs in the nightly builds and  
sent in feedback with your crash reports!  Since it seems that there  
are always a few bugs remaining, no matter how many we fix, please  
file bug reports at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/? 
group_id=61487&atid=497423> for any problems you find.

Copious release notes follow, as usual.
