<release version="2.48" date="">
<action dev="gene" type="change">
BibTcl has been taken out of the default making since it has
caused troubles on several maschines.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="change">
The printing of Strings honors now the dependencies that
BibTeX relies on. This has been accomplished by a change in
the printing routine for databases. No new resource is
involved.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="change">
Minor modification to the C API.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Feature: When searching for an aux file and none is found then
<tt>.aux</tt> is appended and a reopen is tried with the new
name.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="change">
Feature: When expand.macros is set the macros will be
suppressed automatically. No need to set
<tt>print.entry.types</tt> any more.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
The boolean resource <tt>select.crossrefs<tt> has been
introduced. This resource can be used to force crossreferenced
entries for selected entrie to be included in the output.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="change">
Feature: deleted entries are not reported as "written" by the
statistics any more.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix: Bug in extracting by aux file. Crossrefed entires
where sometimes ignored.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix: Bug in parsing of backslashes in resources has been
fixed. Unfortunately this bug appeared in one of the
examples in the manual.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix: Bug in expansion introduced in 2.47 has been fixed. An
error occured when expanding macros.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
The resource loading with <code>resource</code> now issues a
warning when the file could not be found.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="doc">
The meaning of post for the format specifiers %d and %D has
been documented.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix: BibTool has misinterpreted pre for the format
specifier %t and %T due to an over-optimization. This has been
fixed.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix: BibTool has ignored <code>preserve.key.case</code> for
crossreferenced keys. This has been fixed.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix: Some compilers don't like it if static strings are
modified. Thus I have made them dynamic.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Experimental feature <code>regexp.syntax</code> added.
</action>
</release>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.47" date="January 16, 2003">
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix: BibTool looped when parsing unbalanced blocks due to a
too short type in <code>parse.c</code>. This has been fixed
and some error messages have been improved.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="doc">
Some additions to the documentation due to Patrice Dumas.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Resource <code>fmt.word.separator</code> introduced. This
resource can be used to mark additional characters to be
considered as word separators.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix: BibTool looped when a malformed string of some kind
was given to expansion. This has been fixed in
<code>expand()</code>.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix: BibTool crashed when called with empty format string
due to an uninitialized variable. This has been fixed in
<code>parse_fmt()</code>.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="doc">
Bugfix: Documentation bug fixed. The default for
<code>sort.key</code> should be <code>%s($key)</code>. This
has been fixed in<code>Lib/default.rsc</code> and the manual.
</action>
</release>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.46" date="February 12 2002">
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Resource <code>sort.cased</code> introduced to allow the
sorting order to take advantage of upper and lower case
characters. The default is false which is the previous
behaviour.
</action>
</release>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.45" date="October 22 2001">
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Resource <code>suppress.initial.newline</code> introduced to
suppress the empty line at the beginning of the output file.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix: Some C compilers don't like the initialization of
static variables with <code>stderr</code>. The code has been
moved to a initialization routine.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix: <code>-R</code> disables the reading of the resource
at the end of processing of command line arguments.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix: Parsing of select arguments with backslashes were not
treated correctly.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="doc">
Minor documentation bugs fixed.
</action>
</release>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.44" date="April 7 1999">
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Key generation fixed to expand BibTeX strings. The current
behaviour is likely to change again in a future release.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Updated to work with kpathsea 3.1 (partially).
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Searching for the kpathsea library is now the default in the
configure script. Thus it is possible to simply place BibTool
in a web2c tree. This only requires that the directory is
named bibtool and bibtool is added to the filelists in
Makefile, configure, and configure.in of the web2c main
directory.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
<code>check.double</code> message improved.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Initialization bug for kpathsea fixed.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix for cross referencing: normalization to lowercase was
missing twice.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix in the TeX reading routines: spaces after active
characters are not ignored. All characters are treated as
unsigned. This seems to be preferrable for extended ASCII
characters.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Key generation routines adapted to work with multiple
databases. The symbol table is no longer abused to store
information for the key generation. This may slow down the key
generation a little bit. If it turns out to be a problem I
will use a better algorithm.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Minor modifications in makefiles.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
The configuration of BibTcl is now done automatically.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
New datatype introduced: <code>Uchar</code> will hold UniCode
characters in a future release. I just have to find regexp
routines to work with UTF-8.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Extraction extended to allow negation of the regular
expression/string matching result. New resources
<code>select.non</code> and <code>select.by.non.string</code>
to specify such a request. C function
<code>add_extract()</code> extended to cover negated values
and the former function <code>add_s_extract()</code>.
</action>
</release>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.43" date="">
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Additional library <code>braces.rsc</code> to translate quotes
as field delimiters into braces.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
<code>bibtool -h</code> reports now also the library path.
This can be used by external scripts to find the installation
directory of BibTool.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugfix: comments are no longer crippled.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor bugfix in rewriting code: empty pattern works again.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
The regression tests have revealed a bugfix in the key
generation code. I am not aware of the change that has let to
this effect but the new behaviour is correct. Before, the
macro expansion was suppressed under certain circumstances.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
BibTcl: <code>bibtool count db</code> added.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
BibTcl fix: <code>bibtool missing</code> ignores the case of
the field name.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
BibTcl: consistently renaming <code>record</code> to
<code>entry</code>.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor modifications of makefile to correctly generate
<code>libbib.a</code> and install the header files.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Reorganization of the code; header files are now in their own
directory. I don't have the appropriate information for
some DOS compilers yet. Thus minor modifications in the
makefile might be required.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
C function <code>entry_statistics()</code> removed. The
functionality can be modeled with the new C function
<code>db_count()</code>. This takes into account that several
databases can be managed internally.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
C function <code>save_word()</code> renamed to
<code>add_word()</code>. <code>list_words()</code> removed
since it has been used for debugging only.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
EntryTypes implementation changed. The API doesn't
change. Datatype <code>StringTab</code> is now local to
<code>symbols.c</code>. Datatype <code>Rule</code> is now
local to <code>rewrite.c</code>.
</action>
</release>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.42" date="">
<action dev="gene" type="add">
New selection operation introduced. The selection with regular
expressions is complemented by a selection according to simple
substrings. This selection is initiated with the new resource
<code>select.string</code> which takes the same arguments as
the resource <code>select</code> but does comparison for a
substring instead of regular expression matching. The value of
<code>select.case.sensitive</code> is taken into account but
at runtime and not at specification time. Certain characters
can be ignored for the comparison. Those are contained in the
new string resource <code>select.ignored</code>.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
New resource <code>print.entry.types</code> introduced. This
resource controlls the entry types and the order in which they
are printed. In fact the macro printing facility is obsolete
with this new resource.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
New resource <code>clear.ignored.words</code> introduced. In
fact this is a function which deletes all ignored words. Thus
it is possible to determine all ignored words at runtime--even
the compiled in defaults.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bug fixed: selection honours the resource
<code>print.all.strings</code> now.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Makefiles slightly improved. Less manual adaption.
Installation of all library files -- even on Solaris.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Name formatting omission fixed: Translation and length are
taken into account correctly. The new name format sign * has
been introduced to denote the inheritance of the translation
from the calling format.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Restriction relaxed. Now it is possible to declare up to
MAXINT entry types and not only 4096. The <code>Record</code>
data structure and the associated macros have been modified
slightly to accomplish this.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bug in the aux file selection mechanism fixed. This bug caused
some cross referenced entries to be missing under special
circumstances.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bug in <code>key.c</code> fixed which caused a crash because
an initialization was missing under certain circumstances.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Make target <code>libbib.a</code> added. This is known to work
on UNIX. I would like to get feedback for other systems.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor bug in <code>names.c</code> fixed.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor bug in <code>print.c</code> fixed.
<code>print.wide.equal</code> does not have exceptions any
more.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor bug in <code>print.c</code> fixed. Deleted fields are
treated better.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bug in <code>database.c</code> fixed which caused macro
expansion to fail under certain circumstances.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
BibTcl: <code>bibtool format</code> allows to use the full
power of format specifications.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
BibTcl: <code>bibtool sprint</code> added which returns the
formatted string representation of an entry.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
BibTcl: Bug in <code>$rec set \$key ...</code> fixed.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Minor changes in the C interface (Just wait for the compiler
or linker to complain about different arguments:-).
</action>
</release>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.41" date="">
<action dev="gene" type="add">
New boolean resource <code>print.equal.right</code> which
controls whether the = in normal entries is aligned right or
left.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
New boolean <code>resource print.wide.equal</code> which
controlls whether the equal sign is surrounded by spaces even
if the alignment forces a narrower layout.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
New boolean resource <code>print.comma.at.end</code> which
controlls whether the comma between fields is printed at the
end or at the beginning of a field/value pair.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
New boolean resource <code>print.deleted.entries</code> which
controls the treatment of deleted entries. If this resource is
true then delete entries are put as comments into the output.
This is the old behavior and thus it is the default.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Pseudo field <code>sortkey</code> added.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Pseudo field <code>source</code> added which contains the
filename the record has been read from or the empty string if
this can not be determined.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Makefile adapted to meet the description.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
configure creates <code>./config.h</code> aswell.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Strings can be either local to a database or global. The
output of macros does include local macros only. This is a
point of incompatibility with previous versions.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Massive extensions to BibTcl.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="doc">
Cleaning of the sources and massive addition of documentation.
Now the documentation of the C functions is present. Thus it
becomes possible to use the BibTool routines to write C
programs. BibTcl is a first application of this technique.
Nevertheless a few changes seem possible before things are cut
in stone.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="doc">
According to a suggestion by Oren Patashnik the term entry is
used instead of record -- at least in the documentation.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor bug in <code>print.c</code> fixed which caused looping
when small values for line length and alignment column was
given.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor bugfix in <code>key.c</code>. The resource
<code>crossref.limit</code> was off by 1.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Some additions have been made to support new features in the
forthcoming BibTeX 1.0. They do not really work right now but
just restrict the accepted input files.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Flag <code>--with-kpathsea</code> added to configure.
</action>
</release>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.40" date="">
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Sorting uses the new key instead of the old one as before.
This has not been specified, but the new behaviour might be
more intuitive.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
<code>key.format=empty</code> fixed. <code>key.format</code>
<code>short.need</code> and <code>long.need</code> are aliases
for <code>new.short</code> and <code>new.long</code> resp.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Some error messages slightly improved.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor print bug fixed: additional commas appeared when the
last field was deleted.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="doc">
Typo in documentation: I had typed <code>preserve.key</code>
instead of <code>preserve.keys</code>. Shame on me:-) Some
additional examples in the documentation.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Field deletetion completely covered by the rewriting
mechanism. <code>delete.field</code> is kept for backward
compatibility as an alias.
</action>
</release>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.39" date="">
<action dev="gene" type="update">
The default for the pattern in the select resource is now
".". Thus it is easier to select entries with a
given type.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
New resource <code>preserve.keys</code> introduced. If this
resource is on then key generation touches only entries with
empty keys. The keys of other entries are left unchanged.
Initially this resource is off.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
The disambiguation now respects the order of the entries.
Previously it used the reverse order which was
contra-intuitive.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Formating names: Names connected by ~ or tight initials (A.U.
Thor) are now treated better.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Nasty little bug in the key specification parser fixed. This
has (sometimes) let to a wrong evaluation of disjunctions.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor bug in verbose messages fixed.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
AutoConf scripts added.
</action>
</release>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.38" date="">
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Format specifier %d enhanced. It can fail now if no number is
found in the field. The minus sign means padding to a fixed
length. The plus sign means not to fail but use 0. The post
specifier can be used to select another but the first number.
E.g. %.2d means to use the second number.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Format specifier %D introduced. It acts like %d but does not
truncate the number. Thus larger numbers are used completetly.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bug fixed. If the key format failed then the key was left
empty. Now the default key is used as written in the
documentation. Somehow the bugfix for the select statement has
not made it into the last release. Now it should be in.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="doc">
Several mistakes in the documentation corrected.
</action>
</release>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.37" date="">
<action dev="gene" type="add">
kpathsea support for searching BibTeX files added.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Bugs fixed: Searching/key generation combination and aux file
evaluation.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
The distribution is now availlable in two forms: as a gzipped
tar file and as a zip archive.
</action>
</release>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.36" date="">
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Added sample file for interfacing BibTool with Tcl:
<code>Tcl/bibtool.tcl</code>.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
Added sample file for interfacing BibTool with Perl:
<code>Perl/bibtool.pl</code>.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor bug fix in string parsing routines. E.g. select from
command line was not evaluated properly.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor bug fixed. <code>add.field</code> now works again as
described in the documentation.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor bug fixed. Command line argument <code>-r</code> issued
a warning when everything was ok.
</action>
</release>
<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.35" date="">
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Inheritance via crossref can be used to access fields in
another entry when creating keys. E.g. this means that
crossreferencing inproceedings can access the booktitle of the
proceedings. The new resource <code>crossref.limit</code>
restricts the number of crossrefs followed. E.g. 0 means do
not follow crossrefs (as it has been in previous releases).
The default is 32.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
New boolean resource <code>check.do.delete</code> introduced.
If this resource is on then the double entries are not only
preceeded by ### instead of @ but deleted completely.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
New boolean resource <code>sort.macros</code> introduced. If
this is on then the macro definitions are sorted
alphabetically. Default: on
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
The handling of comments has been changed completely. Comments
are now attached to the preamble/string/normal entry following
them. Especially during sorting the comments are rearranged as
well. This seems useful to keep comments on macro definitions
and the definitions together. The last comment always stays at
the end.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor bug fixed. The searching for <code>.bibtoolrsc</code>
went wrong.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="fix">
Minor bug fixed. <code>output.file</code> resource acted
incorrect.

<action dev="gene" type="add">
<code>print.all.strings</code> acts like described in the
documentation.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Resource arguments in the command line can have unbalanced
braces in strings now. Still there is no escape character
defined.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Internally BibTool can handle more than one database
simultaneously. This is needed for the SQL interface.
Let's see how this can be used otherwise.

<!-- ===================================================================== -->
<release version="2.34" date="">
<action dev="gene" type="update">
Default value of <code>key.expand.macros</code> changed to on.
This seems to be a more sensible default value. (Possible
incomatibility to old version)

<action dev="gene" type="add">
<code>new.format.type</code> introduced. This command can be
used to specify formatting rules for names. It is used in
conjunction with the %p format specification which has been
added.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="add">
The format specifiers for counting names/words/characters have
been added. Those act as booleans which force backtracking if
they fail. The qualifier # is used to enable counting.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
When writing macro files undefined macros are written as
<code>_string</code> instead of <code>@STRING</code>. Thus
they are comments to BibTeX.
</action>
<action dev="gene" type="update">
The command line options <code>-x</code> and <code>-X</code>
now also set <code>print.all.strings</code> to off. (This has
no effect yet)

program. I wonder which 8-bit traps are still hidden in
BibTool.
