Added

  • We added a fetcher for Biodiversity Heritage Library. 8539
  • We added support for multiple messages in the snackbar. #7340
  • We added an extra option in the 'Find Unlinked Files' dialog view to ignore unnecessary files like Thumbs.db, DS_Store, etc. koppor#373
  • JabRef now writes log files. Linux: $home/.cache/jabref/logs/version, Windows: %APPDATA%\..\Local\harawata\jabref\version\logs, Mac: Users/.../Library/Logs/jabref/version
  • We added an importer for Citavi backup files, support ".ctv5bak" and ".ctv6bak" file formats. #8322
  • We added a feature to drag selected entries and drop them to other opened inactive library tabs koppor521.
  • We added support for the biblatex-apa legal entry types Legislation, Legadminmaterial, Jurisdiction, Constitution and Legal #8931

Changed

  • The file column in the main table now shows the corresponding defined icon for the linked file 8930.
  • We improved the color of the selected entries and the color of the summary in the Import Entries Dialog in the dark theme. #7927
  • We upgraded to Lucene 9.3 for the fulltext search.
    Thus, the now created search index cannot be read from older versions of JabRef anylonger.
    ⚠️ JabRef will recreate the index in a new folder for new files and this will take a long time for a huge library.
    Moreover, switching back and forth JabRef versions and meanwhile adding PDFs also requires rebuilding the index now and then.
    #8868
  • We improved the Latex2Unicode conversion #8639
  • Writing BibTeX data into a PDF (XMP) removes braces. #8452
  • Writing BibTeX data into a PDF (XMP) does not write the file field.
  • Writing BibTeX data into a PDF (XMP) considers the configured keyword separator (and does not use "," as default any more)
  • The Medline/Pubmed search now also supports the default fields and operators for searching. forum#3554
  • We improved group expansion arrow that prevent it from activating group when expanding or collapsing. #7982, #3176
  • When configured SSL certificates changed, JabRef warns the user to restart to apply the configuration.
  • We improved the appearances and logic of the "Manage field names & content" dialog, and renamed it to "Automatic field editor". #6536
  • We improved the message explaining the options when modifying an automatic keyword group #8911
  • We moved the preferences option "Warn about duplicates on import" option from the tab "File" to the tab "Import and Export". koppor#570
  • When JabRef encounters % Encoding: UTF-8 header, it is kept during writing (and not removed). #8964
  • We replace characters which cannot be decoded using the specified encoding by a (probably another) valid character. This happens if JabRef detects the wrong charset (e.g., UTF-8 instead of Windows 1252). One can use the Integrity Check to find those characters.
