BibCiter

I’m really proud to announce that, at last, v1.0 of BibCiter will see the light.

After two years and a half coding (!!!) and intensive use, I guess the creature is ready to have a life as a decent 1.0, no 0.anything, no betas.

This does not mean there is nothing to be improved, but let’s leave these improvements for v1.x or v2.0.

Improvements in this v1.0 release:

• way, way, way improved the way projects are cited, including huge improvement in bibliography citing styles management
• solved smallest issue with published works that are “references” (e.g. journals, reviews…) and have no publishing date/year
• slightly improved the exportation to BibTEX format
• improved accessibility
• improved comparison between two bibliographies
• added the possibility to “remember” the user logged in (setting a cookie up)
• in searches, if “not found” or results not satisfactory, possibility to directly add the query as a contact/work
• added the “title” attribute to authors when listed with links, showing the full name of the author instead of the “formal/citation” name

By the way, I dediced to remove the addition of sample data in the installation process, because I thought it just added noise and, sometimes, was a source of problems. I don’t think anybody’s gonna miss this ;)
