We are pleased to announce the release of JabRef version 4.0.

Changed

  • We add a textArea to see versionInfo in the About JabRef Dialog.#2942
  • We turned the validation feature in the entry editor off by default, because of a bug in the library we have been using #3145
  • Added 'Filter All' and 'Filter None' buttons with corresponding functionality to Quality Check tool.
  • We increased the size of the keywords and file text areas in the entry editor
  • When the entry that is currently shown in the entry editor is deleted externally, the editor is now closed automatically #2946
  • We added reordering of file and link entries in the General-Tab 3165, comment
  • We added autcompletion for the crossref field on basis of the BibTeX-key. To accept such an autcompleted key as new entry-link, you have to press Enter two times, otherwise the field data is not stored in the library file.koppor#257
  • We added drag and drop support for adding files directly in the General-Tab. The dragged files are currently only linked from their existing directory. For more advanced features use the Add files dialog. #koppor#244
  • We added the file description filed back to the list of files in the General-Tab #2930, comment
  • Added an error dialog if the file is open in another process and cannot be renamed. [#3229]
  • On Windows, the JabRef.exe executable can now be used to start JabRef from the command line. By default, no output is shown unless the new "-console" option is specified.
