Releases for Bibliography Module

6.x-1.7

New features...

• New settings available in "Styling" to allow admin to change the text that is displayed when there is no year of publication available (9999) or the "In Press" text (9998)
• Reworked the SQL query used for the list display to improve speed at which the list display is sorted. This is especially noticable on large datasets.
• Reworked export functions such that the data is streamed to the client node by node thus reducing the memory footprint required to export large datasets.
• Thanks to Filipe Rocha for the Portuguese translation file (biblio.pt-pt.po)
• Added links to file attachments in the Tagged, bibtex and EndNote 8 export file formats
• Thanks to Turóczi Attil for the Hungarian translation file (biblio.hu.po)

Bugs Fixed...

• fixed potential XSS vulnerability SA-CONTRIB-2009-064
• #585332 fixed Can't use the print module in the biblio list page
• disabled default views so they do not over ride some of the built in paths
• #570640 fixed author ordering problem when "More Authors" are added on the input form

New features...

6.x-1.6

1. Added configurable "type" mapping #520828. This feature allows mapping between various input file format publication types and Biblio publication types.
2. Added a per-user setting for OpenURL information #528930
3. EndNote XML files are now formated in the latest XML format by default, good for versions 8 and newer of EndNote.
4. Added new setting in the OpenURL section to set the Site ID (sid) of the OpenURL link

6.x-1.5

1. Added Views handlers for sorting, filtering and arguments on most fields.
2. Added new settings in the ISI Web of Knowledge section on the admin/settings/biblio page. Turning this on automatically converts EndNote "Go to ISI" links to valid ISI search links. (ISI subscription required)
3. Added new settings in the links section on the admin/settings/biblio page. You choose to carry "inline" mode through to all subsequent links. Inline mode is used primarily by people accessing biblio data from custom code, so the average user will not need this.
4. Added new settings in the links section on the admin/settings/biblio page. You can now toggle the export links on/off individually as well as the Google Scholar link

Upgrades from 5.x or RC2 and later are directly supported without any intermediate updates.

New features...

6.x-1.4

• No new features, 1.4 was released to address a major bug which crashed the code when saving a new entry containing keywords.

6.x-1.3

1. Added "DOI Lookup" option on the input form. Entering a valid DOI name (number) here will query crossref.org and poplulate the input form with all the data it gets. You are then presented with the populated form to make further additions/changes prior to saving it to the database.
2. Added "BibTex cut and paste" option to the input form. Pasting a valid bibTex string into the box will populate the input form with the data and similar to the DOI lookup above, allows you to preview and make changes prior to saving it in the database.
3. Added a new user permission called "edit biblio authors" which allows the user to edit biblio author information but not other biblio settings, unlike "administer biblio" which gives them the right to edit all biblio settings.
4. Changed "Views" integration such that Blblio is no longer a "Base" type of view. You should now use the "Node" view type to create a view containing biblio information.
5. Added an option to toggle sort links between text and tab type display.

First I would like to thank Robert Haschke for Views2 implementation in this release. Frank Steiner also deserves honorable mention for the number of patches he contributed mainly dealing with (but not limited to) bibtex import/export and the search feature.

NOTE: If you are upgrading from one of the beta releases or RC1,you should follow the instructions here

New features...

6.x-1.2

1. Added option to automatically delete authors "orphaned" by the update or deletion of an entry
2. User selectable bibliographic styles, authorized users can choose a style other than the system default on their "edit user" page
3. Author "Link" allows 2 or more authors to be linked together (intended to deal with name changes due to marriage, but could be used for other purposes)

6.x-1.1

1. MARC format file import
2. New bibliographic output sytles (AMA, Chicago, MLA, Vancouver)

First I would like to thank Robert Haschke for all the work he did to make this release possible. He was instrumental in getting the D5 -> D6 upgrade process working properly and did a tremendous amount of work on the new "contributor" widget and contributor handling in general.

New features...

1. MARC format file import
2. New bibliographic output sytles (AMA, Chicago, MLA, Vancouver)
3. Authors page (biblio/authors) which displays all authors in the database linked to publication lists filtered by that author. ("edit" links are provided for privileged users)
4. Author edit/merge form (merge allows you to merge all instances of the same author which have been entered slightly

RC4 corrects a major bug in which caused the order of authors to be lost on import. This only affected file imports using RC3, so if you imported data with RC3, you may have to delete it and reimport it.

He was instrumental in getting the D5 -> D6 upgrade process working properly and did a tremendous amount of work on the new "contributor" widget and contributor handling in general. If your not a programmer, you won't appreciate how much effort he put into code cleanup and rationalization, but I can tell you that I appreciate it and it has been very stimulating to have another programmer to bounce ideas off.

New features...

1. Authors page which displays all authors in the database linked to publication
   lists filtered by that author. (edit links are present for privileged users)

Due to some rather silly bugs that I missed in RC1, I'm releasing another RC a little sooner (with less user feedback) than I had hoped.

Please give this a try and as usual, report any bugs found.

Note: New to this release is the "Authors" page 'biblio/authors' which lists all the authors in the database followed by the number of publications by each author in parenthesis. If you are the admin user, or have 'administer biblio' privileges, then an [edit] link will also follow each author name which will allow you to edit the details of each author.

I think this release fixes all of the really bad bugs in the beta8 release (many thanks to Frank Steiner (and others) for their tireless work in tracking down bugs, fixing them and submitting patches).

Upgrades from beta-8 should not be an issue.

You can now upgrade from 5.x, however I strongly suggest making a backup of your database first. If you don't know how to do this, I very strongly suggest you learn how as it can save you endless grief in the long run. The reason being there are significant changes between the 5.x and 6.x database schema. If the upgrade messes up your data, and you haven't made a backup prior to applying the upgrade, don't come crying to me :-)

You've been warned!

As usual, feel free to report any bugs found (I know there are going to be a few still lurking here and there) and I will fix them as soon as possible so we can get the final version out the door.

Cheers,

Ron.

This release fixes a problem with beta7 with prevented some author names from displaying.
