Dear users, On November, 29th was JabRef's 12th anniversary. We want to celebrate that and let you know four things:
1. JabCon We are working hard to make JabRef even more useful than it is already. To attract even more developers, we launched JabCon. It will take place end of January in Vienna, Austria. Feel free to participate. Please find more details and registration information at http://jabcon.jabref.org/. 2. Making available development versions We are trying to stabilize the development. All versions built on the master branch can be regarded as beta versions. Everyone who wants to have a sneak preview on whats going on or simply wants to know whether a bug is already fixed should go to http://builds.jabref.org/master/ and download the latest version. 3. Seeking for support We really need more support in JabRef development and maintenance. We are moving more and more away from sourceforge, but progress is slow because there are so many other things to do. An initial new homepage has been created at http://www.jabref.org, but it really needs to be extended and the content of the old homepage integrated. We need help with that. See especially https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/111 4. Release of JabRef 3.0 We worked hard to make JabRef 3.0 ready for today. Not everything is finished and many new bugs appear. JabRef still has much legacy code. We are migrating the code to Java 8 and try to remove as much issues as possible, but we don't have enough man power to address everything. Nevertheless, this release makes a new landmark in the development of JabRef. We plan to release JabRef more often than in the past to offer users early access to new features. Sometimes, we mentioned version 2.80. This version was intended as intermediate step to JabRef 3.0. Since much functionality has changed during development, a release of this version was skipped. We will proceed with minor steps and currently plan a big v4.0 release at the end of next year. Feel free to download via https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/releases and comment. Cheers, Oliver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Jabref-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jabref-users
