[Refdb-users] ANN: RefDB 0.9.1

[<mar...@mh...>]

Hi all,

RefDB 0.9.1 is out. This is mainly a bugfix release but it also adds a
couple of nice new features.

Bugfixes:

- printf() conversion specifier incompatibility on Solaris was fixed.

- refdbctl was fixed to run on Solaris out of the box

- nmed2ris now handles datasets w/o end page or w/o page information
  or w/o volume/issue information properly.

- selecting character encodings with PostgreSQL now works properly.

- creating bibliographies with PostgreSQL should now work properly

- citations.dsl was fixed

- import of RIS data with non-tagged lines now works properly

- runbib now creates the proper .bib file for DocBook XML

- example documents were fixed and extended

- refdbxp now treats strings containing "%" properly

Improvements:

- A new interactive shell script refdbnd (like "new document") creates
  a new skeleton document with a SGML or XML prolog and an entity
  declaration for your bibliography. It also creates a Makefile that
  controls all of the subsequent processing steps.

- A new Perl script med2ris.pl converts Pubmed XML datasets to
  RIS. This script is intended to replace nmed2ris, although the latter
  will remain in the distribution for a while.

- The marc2ris.pl Perl script was extended to handle UKMARC and
  UNIMARC data.

- A new tutorial is available online at
  http://refdb.sourceforge.net/doc.html. This is targeted at new users
  (not administrators) and explains the basics with a lot of examples.


Comments, suggestions, bug reports are welcome.

regards,
Markus
