Bibcut - changes



Bibcut v3.81 (March 15th,  2014)

• Bug in function 'Double': Whenever two entries are found with same volumes, pages, years, etc. only one of the two entries is kept for the new BibTeX file. The BibTeX keys were, however, always wrongly commented in the log file. This bug was fixed.
  
  
• Bug in function 'Double' and 'Compare': the comparison of entries with the tags @BOOKS, @INCOLLECTIONS,@INPROCEEDINGS, @PHDTHESIS did not work at all. The bug was removed.
  
  
• Bug in function 'Tags': there was some strange bug, leading to the complete removal of, e.g., the pdf tag under Linux and to a freezing of Bibcut under Windows. The bug was removed.
  
  
• Code cleaning.

Bibcut v3.80 (March 12th, 2014)

• The Springer book style (SVMult) for subjects such as Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, Geosciences, Life Sciences, Medicine, Biomedicine has been added into the 'Extract' and 'Text' function.
  
  
  
• There are no problems anymore with JabRef 10.x created BibTeX files. Tags like 'journal=' or 'Journal=' or 'JOURNAL=' are accepted.
  
  
  
• Thanks to Enno Nagel (nagel -at- math.jussieu.fr) the full and abbreviated titles of journals located in Mathematics are now available for the function 'Journals'.
  
  
  
• Code cleaning.

Bibcut v3.70 (March 2013)

• New option in creating text files: the journal style of the plain and LaTeX text can now be formatted or modified in a separate config file (see Wiki page).
  
  
  
• Some bugs were removed.
  
  
  
• Code cleaning.
  

Bibcut v3.65 (March 2013)

• New option in function 'Text': the bibitems in LaTeX format can now be written into the text file.
  
  
  
• Some cosmetics in the C++ code and in the GUI.
  

Bibcut v3.5 (November 2012)

• New option in function 'Text': as an option, the name of the bibitem is written into the ASCII text file.


• So far, it is only for Linux 64 Bit.
  

Bibcut v3.3 (April 2011)

• The C++ Code has been restructured for better reading.
  
  
  
• A new function has been included: function 'Journals'. This function allows changing the name of the journals, either the full name or the abbreviation of a journal can be chosen.
  
  
  
• The function 'Clean tags' has been modified: all known standard tags can now be chosen and separately removed. The tags are:
  
  
  year, volume, journal, pages, author, title, month, abstract, note, owner, timestamp, url, comment, number, eid, keywords, crossref, review, doi, file, editor, publisher, address, edition, school, series, citeseerurl, type, booktitle, chapter, nationality, yearfiled, organization, institution
  
  
• The function 'Clean authors' has been completely revised and considerably been improved.
  
  
  
• The function 'Text' (BibTeX to ASCII text) has been also improved. All LaTeX specific symbols are now replaced by ASCII symbols.
  
  
  

Bibcut v3.2 (March 2011)

• BibTeX libraries generated by the Apple Macintosh program Papers or by Mendeley could not be loaded due to a major bug. The bug has been removed and BibTeX libraries generated by Papers or Mendeley can now be used.
  
  
  
• Some new types of entry tags have been included, which are important for all functions (despite function 'Extract', see below): @MEETINGABSTRACT, @PROCEEDINGSPAPER, @REVIEW, @LETTER, @EDITORIALMATERIAL.
  These are all supported tags:
  
  
  @ARTICLE, @BOOK, @BOOKLET, @INBOOK, @PHDTHESIS, @MASTERTHESIS, @INCOLLECTION, @INPROCEEDINGS, @MISC, @ELECTRONIC, @OTHER, @PROCEEDINGS, @CONFERENCE, @MANUAL, @TECHREPORT, @UNPUBLISHED, @STANDARD, @PERIODICAL, @PATENT, @MEETINGABSTRACT, @PROCEEDINGSPAPER, @REVIEW, @LETTER, @EDITORIALMATERIAL
  
  
• The function 'Clean tags' had some bugs. For instance, removing tags of type 'note' did not work. Furthermore, other tags, which did not appear in the preferences, were not written into the new BibTeX library. Many of such bugs could be removed.
  
  
  
• Small bugs in the function 'Compare' were removed.
  
  
  
• The function 'Clean authors' was improved.
  

Bibcut v3.1 (February 2011)

• Bugs in the function 'extract' were removed. For instance, the APS style for the bibitems was corrected.
  
  
  
• Bibcut recognizes now the type of ASCII file: It finds out, which operating system it has created, and treats the end-of-lines in a perfect manner. For instance, if a Windows file is opened with Bibcut under Linux, a Linux file with same content is generated and used for the whole processing.
  
  
  
• New function 'Text': It creates an ASCII file of bibitems without LaTeX specific code inside. This can be used as rawdata for any kind of word processing (e.g., MSWord, OpenOffice or LibreOffice). However, all special characters, which are treated by special LaTeX commands, remain. In future, also this will be properly treated by Bibcut (next higher version).
  
  
  
  

Bibcut v3.0 (October 2010)

• The program is now developed under Linux.
  
  
  
• With help of the wxWidget library, the code is platform independent. This means that there are binaries for Linux and Windows XP and Vista. Bibcut hasn't yet been tested under Windows 7 so far.
  
  
  
• Many bugs of the functions 'Extract', 'Compare' and 'Clean doubles' were found and eliminated. Many tests show no errors so far. The functions seem to be stable even for very large libraries (more than 1000 entries).
  
  
  
• New journal styles were included for the function 'Extract': Nature and Wiley. The option 'title' was included, too.
  
  
  
• Three new functions were included: 'Clean authors', 'Clean characters', 'Clean tags'
  
  
  
• The whole C++ code was revised for better reading.
  
  
  
  

Bibcut v2.0 (October 17th 2009) and v2.1 (November 27th 2009)

• Graphical user interface programed with help of the MS Windows library.
  
  
  
• New routines: 'Compare' and 'Clean doubles'
