[OS X TeX] [ANN] BibDesk 1.1.2

[Adam R. Maxwell]

The BibDesk development team is pleased to announce the arrival of  
BibDesk 1.1.2, which has numerous new features and bugfixes.  Thanks  
to those of you who file RFE and bug reports on SourceForge at  
<http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=61487&atid=497423>; we've  
addressed a number of those issues for this release.

After writing release notes for two apps tonight, I can't think of  
anything clever to add here.  Oh, the URL: <http:// 
bibdesk.sourceforge.net/>.

IMPORTANT:  note that changes made with the new find-and-replace  
features are undoable, but you may want to have a backup copy of your  
file just in case.  Our rigorous QA process is designed to ferret out  
the most insidious bugs, and we're relying on all of you to let us  
know as soon as you find them.

Complete release notes follow:

New Features
   *  Global macros can be defined for all bibliographies (RFE  
#1217106); this should be helpful for people who keep @strings in a  
separate file.  The contents of BibTeX style files (.bst) can be  
pasted in for this purpose.  See online help for details.
   *  Errors and warnings should be more informative now, rather than  
displaying "Paste/Drag" at line 0 for author splitting errors (RFE  
#1221667)
   *  Can now copy-and-paste from error window (bug #1223110)
   *  Edit menu now has a "Duplicate" option (RFE #1221961)
   *  Find and Replace panel added:  allows searching and replacing  
in fields, using substring or regular expression-based searches.   
Please see the online help for usage examples, and file bug reports  
if it doesn't make sense.

Bugs Fixed

   *  Major changes for performance in sorting and displaying large  
files
   *  Editing abstract/annote text should be fast now, independently  
of file size

   *  BTParse is now a framework, and can be compiled as a Universal
