The BibDesk development team is pleased to announce that BibDesk 1.3.2
is available for download at http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net. This
fixes numerous bugs (including a crash when saving and the mysterious
objectAtIndex: exception), and introduces a few new features.
Thanks to those of you who submitted reproducible bug reports and
comments along with the exception reports; as always, please continue
to submit bug reports at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=61487&atid=497423
>. Exhaustive (or exhausting?) release notes follow, so you can see
that we're earning our upgrade fees.
Changes since 1.3.1
New Features
* New "Publication Date" column for displaying a composite Month +
Year, so we no longer have conflicts with existing Date fields
* Prefix/suffix addition to the Database Find & Replace panel
* Author's display name is now used for the author table and menu
* Can now download URLs to link as local files (drop a remote URL on
the local file button or a local file editor field)
* TeX preview now displays a warning badge and log in separate tab
when typesetting errors are encountered
* A warning is now displayed if front matter and/or macros are
ignored when pasting BibTeX data
* Preliminary support for hCite (microformat) browsing and parsing;
requires a hidden default (see bibdesk-users list archives for details)
* Clicking file URL links now sends kAESearchText Apple Event when
appropriate
* Document macros are now accessible via AppleScript
* Spotlight cache files now get kMDItemCreator and
kMDItemContentCreationDate; Read status is included even as three-
state field
* Field names can be localized, if anyone ever localizes BibDesk
* Spotlight cache files now get custom icons by default
* New window for matching orphaned (or other) files with bibliography
items, using SearchKit (see Window menu)
* Author table column now sorts more correctly (based on multiple
authors instead of the first author's last name)
* Items in Window menu are now organized by document
Bugs Fixed
* Stale TeX intermediate files are removed between previews
* Added workaround for editor beachball when the Spotlight database
is corrupted
* Saving from AppleScript no longer uses a stale encoding value
* Fixed some issues with the editor's rating buttons, and check range
when change rating with arrow keys
* Fixed leaks in release notes viewing, text import sheet
* WebKit plugins are enabled again, in hopes that the losers at Adobe
have fixed the crashes their plugins caused
* Filename display cells break text in the middle instead of the tail
* Numeric stack traces are used if atos isn't installed (part of
developer tools)
* Report errors for missing citekey and type instead of crashing
* Formatter is now used correctly for add/remove field sheets
* Cite keys from non-BibTeX sources are now generated when they are
incorporated into a document, so conflicts can be resolved correctly
* Host info is displayed in exception viewer, so we know how to run
atos on the stack trace
* Help on Junior name splitting was incorrect (bug #1649434)
* Optionally allow editing default BibTeX types and fields; although
we think this is a bad idea, we're tired of the requests
* Type editor allows dragging between required and optional fields
when the type is editable
* Set undo action name when changing BibTeX string of a field via
AppleScript
* Don't show cite key warnings for external items
* Cite key and Local-Url fields are ignored when comparing external
items to those already in the file (for import button)
* Support selection from .aux files using non-standard bibliography
styles (e.g. harvard); guess citation command from the file
* Handle splitview resizing internally, since Apple's code has
rounding errors
* Fixed a potential crash when saving (incorrect error class)
* Fixed an autorelease memory smasher introduced in 1.3.0 that was
causing random crashes (thanks to Nathan Paxton for a reproducible
test case)
* Finally fixed the mysterious objectAtIndex: exception introduced in
1.3.0 (thanks to Alex Martsinkovsky for providing steps to reproduce
this)
* Search groups can now be renamed (bug #1663856)
* Table columns now have minimum width of 16
