Development Release of KBibTeX

2007-07-09 by Thomas Fischer [en]

I've been developing a bibliography software for KDE for some years. Until a few weeks ago I was a little bit lazy this year, but finally I assembled some code that will become the next version. There are still some rough edges, but if you test this version and send feedback, I can fix the bugs before releasing the next version.

There are some changes compared to the previous stable version:

• Rewritten memory structure to internally store BibTeX data (primarily cause for delay)
• Keywords can be assigned to BibTeX entries
• Drag'n'drop from Firefox possible
• Names can be handled as Last name, First name
• Rewritten LaTeX encoder to be more flexible for LaTeX commands
• Including BibTeX file and associated files into the exported .pdf file possible
• Auto-completion for macro ids
• Different casings possible for BibTeX keywords
• Side bar shows number of hits per value
• Entries in the side bar can be renamed directly
• Default search path can be specified for "View Document" files
• Numerous other bug fixes

And finally, some screenshots:

You can download the new version here. The program can be installed using the common configure+make way.

Happy testing. Feedback is welcome.
