[Refdb-users] ANN: RefDB-0.9.3-pre3 available

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

Hi all,

there's a new pre-release of the upcoming 0.9.3 along with an updated
Perlmod package available right here:

http://refdb.sourceforge/net/pre/refdb-0.9.3-pre3.tar.gz
http://refdb.sourceforge/net/pre/RefDB-perlmod-0.3_pre1.tar.gz

There's still no risx import, that's why it's just a pre-release. The
following issues have been improved or fixed compared to 0.9.2a:

- configure.in fixes for OSX

- contains risx.dtd

- new backend for risx export (use getref -t risx)

- refdbc running as CGI app no longer checks for username/password
  before reading CGI data

- fixed several bugs related to automatic generation of citation keys

- fixed problem with detection of duplicate journal entries

- fixed problem with web interface in Windoze browsers

- docbook and tei backends now support getref -s switch to request
  additional tags, use -s ALL to retrieve all suitable fields. Both
  now support notes and abstracts to pretty-print annotated
  bibliographies

- getref queries including :JO: or one of the other journal types now
  perform a regexp match instead of a full match

- fixed horrible get_periodical bug that corrupted memory

- fixed missing quotes in docbook author output

- new import filter en2ris.pl to import EndNote "RIS" data

- med2ris.pl now uses iconv to do character encoding conversion on the
  fly

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

regards,
Markus
