End +right curley brackets not in the first column were missed in 1.0. +Umlauts and multi-line fields with curley brackets are now handled +correctly. + +Release 1.2 (17-Jan-91) includes bibdestringify, a tool for replacing all +strings in a bibtex file. To support this, it adds the -s option +to lookbibtex. + +The speed in previous versions of bibdestringify was absymal. This +release, release 1.3 (26-Aug-91) fixes this with an order of mangitude +speed improvement. Documentation for both programs is also slightly +improved. Notice that the -k flag to lookbibtex has been renamed to -f. + +Release 1.31 (27-Aug-91) fixes a couple of minor bugs. The @string +pattern in bibdestringify is made a little more general (to allow c++, +for example) [from Vick Khera <khera@cs.duke.edu>], and a bug in the +lookbibtex man page is fixed [from wald@theory.lcs.mit.edu (David Wald)]. + +Release 1.32 (28-Aug-91) fixes the usage string in lookbibtex +and improves the installation part of the makefile, both at +the suggestion of Henk P. Penning <henkp@cs.ruu.nl>. + +Release 1.4 (5-Sep-91) changes the order of the arguments to resemble grep(1). +At the suggestion of Tim Wilson <Tim.Wilson@cl.cam.ac.uk>, +when no bibtex file is specified, all files in your BIBINPUTS path +are selected. Makefile now automatically sets perl script paths. + +Release 1.41 (11-Sep-91) Makes the bibdestringify matching a little more +general, and fixes a bug in the makefile. + +Release 1.42 (29-Jan-92) Fixes a bug in handling of mixed-case @string's +in lookbibtex at the suggestion of Dana Jacobsen <jacobsd@frisby.cs.orst.edu>. + +Release 1.43 (7-May-92) Added ftp site to README document. + +Perl is the very pratical extraction and report language from Larry +Wall. It may be obtained by anonymous ftp from +jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov in pub/perl.4.0, or by e-mail to Larry Wall +<lwall@jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov>. + +Lookbibtex is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.ucla.edu in +pub/ficus. + +Any comments are welcome. + + -John Heidemann + <johnh@cs.ucla.edu> + 29 January 1992 + + + |
