[OS X TeX] [ANN] BibDesk 1.2.1

[Adam R. Maxwell]

The BibDesk development team is pleased to announce that BibDesk  
1.2.1 is now available for download at <http:// 
bibdesk.sourceforge.net/>.  We've fixed some important bugs in this  
release (including cite key autocompletion for Cocoa editors), and  
added some handy new features as well.  Once again, thanks to our  
intrepid nightly build testers for helping us squash many of our bugs  
before release, and suggesting improvements and new features.

Please report any bugs you find at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/? 
group_id=61487&atid=497423>, including enough information for us to  
quickly reproduce the problem.  Additionally, omissions in the online  
help count as bugs...let us know (or even better, submit a fix!) if  
you spot a problem with the documentation.

As usual, complete release notes follow for the easily amused or  
perpetually bored.

### New Features ###

   *  Three-valued fields option added to Defaults preferences, so  
you can now have "Yes" "No" and "somewhere in between" for your  
status fields.
   *  Autocompletion in the editor now uses a popup list (trigger  
with esc on most keyboards)
   *  Text editor in the error editing view now does some minimal  
syntax highlighting to help spot problems
   *  Text editor in the error editing view has a proxy icon (option- 
click to see the actual file)
   *  Format parsing (autofile/citekey) now has a specifier for  
document file name
   *  All text view find panels now have regular expression search  
capability
   *  Recent documents are now shown in the dock menu
   *  If you have a default bibliography set in preferences, it will  
be reopened when you click on the dock icon
   *  Can now choose the appropriate local file field in the editor  
file selection sheet
   *  You can now edit the AutoFile path text field directly (RFE  
#1388046)
   *  AutoFile now has an option to generate Windows-compatible file  
names (RFE #1388020)
   *  Added a menu item to create a new group with the currently  
selected publications
   *  Spotlight importer now supports RIS files (full text import)

### Bugs Fixed ###

   *  Make autofile more consistent. We partially allow moves of  
files for which the old copy couldn't be removed, treating them the  
same as symlinks.
   *  Fix bug in calling search from autocomplete plugin script handler.
   *  Removed "Read" accessors for AppleScript
   *  Rewrote autocompletion pref pane, fixed text baseline so it  
doesn't look as weird

application list
   *  The 'bibliography for' command in AppleScript works again
   *  Files and URLs can now be dragged into editor text fields while  
editing

previous "Select Duplicates" item was renamed to "Select Duplicates  
by ..." (see online help)
   *  Fix bug # 1379308. Invert check for empty month.
   *  Dragging from the group table to itself is explicitly disallowed
   *  Rewrote macro editing to use an NSFormatter (simplified code  
considerably)
   *  Import using temporary cite keys (for Endnote users) is now  
more efficient, and won't cause BibDesk to run out of memory
   *  Import using temporary cite keys now writes a temp file to disk  
so errors in the file can be easily located
   *  Copying from the error table should work again
   *  Title and Booktitle are considered equivalent for autocomplete,  
as are Author and Editor
   *  Fixed occasional crasher due to retain/notification cycle in  
error editor
   *  Error table is now faster with large files
   *  Plural and singular nouns use properly in status line for  
duplicate selection

with "Use Selection for Find" shortcut
   *  "Use Selection for Find" now works with main publications list

panel on a Local File-type field

threaded file loads
   *  XML entities in MODS output are now escaped
   *  RSS and MODS are now output as UTF-8 instead of ASCII

could lead to a crash when the document file name changes
   *  Paste menu item is enabled when there is no selection in the  
document
   *  No longer deselect in the document when undoing a deletion

authors except the correct one were removed
