Hello all

After far too long, BibDesk 1.3.21 has been released. If you choose  
"Check for updates" from the "BibDesk" menu, you'll see release notes,  
and be guided through the update process.

Or, you can visit the BibDesk home page:

http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/

Where you'll find a link to the latest release, prominently displayed  
at the top of the page.

While you're there, take a moment to appreciate the new web site  
design as well!

Pardon cross- and multiple-postings; I can't tell if the macos-tex  
list successfully sent this message to everyone.
