Hi everybody,

I'm happy to announce the release and immediate availability of refbase-0.9.6.

This is our first official release in a few years. We've maintained
and supported it continuously, but some of these changes have been
locked away in SVN a bit too long.

'Life intrudes'. The development team has seen degrees granted,
relationship status changes, children, and career moves that have
distracted us from this labor of love. But we appreciate your
continues interest in and use of refbase and are happy with this.

The included 'update.php' script can update refbase version 0.9 and
above, including SVN versions.  Full release notes are below.

I have many users and developers I owe thanks for getting this out of
the door (the AUTHORS file has many of these enumerated, but misses
some great discussions on the lists and in the forums).  But, this
time, I'd like to single out Matthias Steffens (refbase founder and
co-lead) for praise. His passion for the nitty gritty of citation
management, good development practices, and demonstrated leadership
has made him land a few professional software development jobs for
companies that work in a similar space as refbase. Some of his silence
is most likely due to contractual commitments to these companies, and
he has big shoes to feel. That we continue to receive quality code
contributions from others, and that we had a surprisingly easy time
packaging and testing this release is really a testament to the
fantastic job he did at creating this thing!

Yours,

Rick (on behalf of the refbase development team)

refbase 0.9.6 available
=======================

This release offers significant bug fixes and all users are encourage
to upgrade. Most changes preserve or slightly improve the interface
and are to keep refbase current with modern standards. We've replace

localization and have added Russian and Japanese localizations.
