[Refdb-users] ANN: RefDB 0.8.1

[Markus H. <hoe...@co...>]

Bugfixes:

- fixed occasional crash during bibliography creation due to free() on
  uninitialized pointer

- fixed server crash for client commands with a mandatory argument
  if they were called without an argument

- fixed occasional "could not connect" problems when password
  authentication was used

- fixed obscure "POSPOSPOS" output after running addstyle in refdba

- fixed minor bugs in the DSSSL stylesheets for bibliography output

- fixed CiteStyle XML DTD which used constructs only available in SGML

- removed erroneous dependence of almost all backend output on a
  journalname 


Improvements:

- refdbib now generates DSSSL files (.dsl) instead of style
  specification files (.spc). These DSSSL files act as driver files for
  the RefDB DSSSL stylesheets which in turn are driver files for the
  original DocBook DSSSL stylesheets. Therefore the final
  transformation of a DocBook document with a RefDB bibliography can now
  also be done with plain old Jade.

- The DocBook bibliography output was slightly changed to make it
  smaller and better suited for subsequent SGML-to-SGML
  transformations. The stylesheets were changed accordingly.

- A new DSSSL stylesheet performs the transformation of DocBook
  bibliography output into TEI bibliography output.

- The web interface now allows to display additional fields in
  reference queries.

- The log level and log destination can now also be specified
  verbosely on the command line and in the configuration files
