Package: biber
Version: 0.9.9+release-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
biber does not seem to accept the character "(" in a bibtex key. This is rather
irritating, as the old bibtex did accept it along some other non-letter
characters. This may of course be a conscious
choice of the developers, but in any case it breaks the backwards compatibility
of the databases (and for me, a lot of documents) and perhaps should be
investigated. In older versions of biber there
was an option to select a different type of parser, which in fact did
circumvent the problem, but this option has obviously been removed.
All the best,
Harri Kiiskinen
