Is it possible to get a .dmg file with this nightly build?

Great! I will check this nightly build now!

I think the idea is to use the title or doi (more reliable) to generate these two characters in a deterministic way. The use of hash functions is to try to avoid collisions or at least decrease that probability. But note that with two letters, depending on the number of articles with the same year and the same name as the last author, we can have a collision. Thus, the more letters the lower the probability of collision. I think the desirable characteristics are the immutability and determinism of...

Hi Christiaan, Thank you for your answer. I will try to clarify what I am asking. The universal citekey tries to provide a consistent and deterministic way to generate the citekeys. "First Author Last Name":"Publication Year" "two deterministic letters" Example: M. McCracken, A. Maxwell, C. M. Hofman, S. S. Porst, J. Howinson, M. Routley, and S. Spiegel, BibDesk, a great application to manage your bibliographies, Source Forge, 96:1, 11, 2004. Generated Universal Citekey: McCracken:2004tx The code...
