[Bibdesk-announce] [ANN] BibDesk-1.3.1

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

The BibDesk development team is pleased to announce that BibDesk 1.3.1  
is now available for download at <http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net>.   
This release is primarily intended to fix bugs in the recent 1.3.0  
release, which explains the paucity of new features.

Please continue to report bugs and crashes at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=61487&atid=497423 
 >, as these help us improve the program.  Thanks to those of you who  
reported exceptions with the new exception reporting feature, and  
please remember to include any details of what you did to cause the  
error.

More-or-less complete release notes follow, as usual.  Sourceforge may  
have eaten some of our commit log messages, so who knows what's  
actually different in this release.
