ANN: refdb-0.9.8-pre4 available for download: msg#00009

Subject: ANN: refdb-0.9.8-pre4 available for download
Hi,

time for another prerelease:

http://refdb.sourceforge.net/pre/refdb-latest.tar.gz

The focus of this prerelease is the main database upgrading
stuff. Users upgrading from 0.9.8-pre2 and earlier will have to
upgrade their main databases. refdbd can now handle this for
you. While this works for me (tested with all database engines), I'd
be interested to hear reports from others. Fear not, you can always
create your main database manually by following the procedure in the
manual. To see how to use this new feature, please check out the
UPGRADING file.

Other notable changes are listed below.

regards,
Markus

Bugfixes:

- exclusive queries (e.g. :UR:!~"http") now work as expected for links
  (UR, L1-L4), authors, and keywords

- refdbd now modifies citation keys containing the string "-ID" as
  this may cause problems when creating bibliographies. "-ID" will be
  replaced with "_ID" to avoid problems.


Improvements:

- refdbd can now install and upgrade the main database without
  external tools. See the file UPGRADING and the refdbd man page for
  further information.

- refdbd can also be run to check the database connection and to
  retrieve the database version. This is mainly useful for
  package/ports builders.
