# rbibutils 2.2.16 (CRAN) - fixed processing of the Polish suppressed-l `\l`. Previously the character following it was enclosed in braces, which was harmless in most cases but the superfluous braces could cause trouble in special circumstances. Did the same for the uppercase version, `\L`, which was missing from the code. # rbibutils 2.2.15 (CRAN) - adapted some tests to a change in R-devel circa r84986. # rbibutils 2.2.14 (CRAN) - fixed a couple of tests in 'test-convert.R' which started failing (ca. R svn rev 84760) due to an R-devel change in `person()`. # rbibutils 2.2.13 (CRAN) - Bugfix: the declaration of the return value of a C function was accidentally changed from `const char *` to `char *` in v2.2.12, causing CRAN warnings on some platforms. # rbibutils 2.2.12 (CRAN) - Bugfix: `readBib` with `texChars = "Rdpack"` which converts `\'i` to `\'\i` was wrapping `\'\i` in braces in 'author' and related fields only. Failure to do so in other fields was making the output invalid when `\'i` was followed by alphabetical character(s). Fixes issue#7 reopened by @EricMarcon. Note that option `"Rdpack"` for argument `texChars` is mainly for internal use which compensates for R not recognising `\'i` as an accented character, see the news items for v2.2.5 and v2.2.4 and the bug report about `tools:::latexToUtf8` at [R bugs](https://bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18208). - partial internal refactoring of C code to avoid duplication. # rbibutils 2.2.11 (CRAN) - in `C` code, changed `sprintf` calls to use `snprintf` to fix CRAN warnings. # rbibutils 2.2.10 (CRAN) - fixed warnings about deprecated function declarations without prototypes in `C` code. # rbibutils 2.2.9 (CRAN) - fixed wrong markup of an item in this file (for v2.2.4) causing bad rendering and a NOTE from CRAN. # rbibutils 2.2.8 (CRAN) - new argument `fbibentry` for `readBib` and `readBibentry` for specification of a function for generation of bib objects. It should have the same arguments as the default `utils::bibentry()` but doesn't need to be vectorised, since `readBibentry()` generates one `bibentry` call for each reference. - `readBib` now parses correctly LaTeX accents like `\a'o`. These are officially defined only for LaTeX's `tabbing` environment as replacements for `\'o`, etc., but seem accepted by LaTeX outside these environments. Also, `Bibtex` converts them to the standard ones when writing `.bbl` files and R's bib processing functions know about them. - a bug in `ads` export was causing a test to fail on platforms with `char` equivalent to `unsigned char`. Reported by @nileshpatra, who also identified the cause. Fixes issue#8 on github. # rbibutils 2.2.7 (CRAN) - fixed bug in isi output occuring in v2.2.5 and 2.2.6 and revealed by gss/ASAN check. # rbibutils 2.2.6 - fixed memory leaks in nbib output in biblatex input occuring in v2.2.5. # rbibutils 2.2.5 (CRAN) - `readBibentry` with `extra = TRUE` now parses (almost) any syntactically correct bib entries. In particular, it accepts arbitrary bib types and doesn't throw errors for bibentries missing fields required by bibtex for the standard bibtex types. For example, biblatex entries typically have `date`, not `year`. - `readBib` with `direct = TRUE` and `texChars` set to `"convert"` or `"export"` was not processing mathematical expressions properly. Now fixed. - argument `texChars` of `readBib` gets new possible value, "Rdpack". This is like the default, "keep", but in addition it converts `\'i` to `\'\i`. This is related to issue #7, see below the fix in v2.2.4 for details. This is mainly for internal use. - improved the messages from error handling when creating bibentry objects. The fix is in `readBibentry` but users typically see them when calling `readBib`. - fixed an error which caused `bibConvert` to segfault when importing `nbib` files. - `readBibentry` (and hence `readBib`) were printing some error messages that were actually handled. # rbibutils 2.2.4 (CRAN) - fixed the handling of accents over `i` in authors' names when the LaTeX escapes are not converted to real characters (there were no problems when converted to UTF-8). Reported by Manuel López-Ibáñez with examples (issue #5, #6, #7). - `\i` in authors' names was messing up the following character (issue#5). - stopped converting `\'\i'` to `\'i`. They are equivalent but there is no reason to do this. Also, at the time of writing R's `tools::latexToUtf8` converts the former but not the latter, while Biber seems to convert the latter but not the former, see https://bugs.r-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18208 . So, users of the bib file may have specific reasons to use one or the other. - names consisting of just one part, family, were missing processing of escaped characters (issue #5). # rbibutils 2.2.3 (CRAN) - fixed memory issues from valgrind in v2.2.2 thanks to patch supplied by Bill Dunlap. # rbibutils 2.2.2 (CRAN) - import of `Pubmed XML` was sometimes giving a handful of references for files with tens or hundreds of them. Now fixed, see issue #4, reported by Rafael Santamaría. (The function reading the file was implicitly assuming that the end of each reference is on a line by itself and was silently ignoring text on the same line after the end of reference tag. Reference files from online databases often have no new lines at all, except for the XML header.) # rbibutils 2.2.1 (CRAN) - fixed problems revealed by valgrind. # rbibutils 2.2 (CRAN) - new convenience function `charToBib` takes input from a character vector rather than a file. By default it assumes that the input is in `bibtex` format and dispatches to `readBib`. If an input format is specified it calls `bibConvert`. - new S3 class `bibentryExtra`, inheriting from `bibentry`, provides support for non-standard types (potentially arbitrary) of bibtex entries. Suitable methods are defined for printing, converting and manipulating (e.g., subsetting and assignment) `bibentryExtra` objects. The initial implementation is incomplete and under development. - `readBib()` gets a new argument `extra`. If it is set to `TRUE` and non-standard types of entries are encountered in the input bibtex file, then the class of the result is set to `bibentryExtra`. See also the note about `bibentryExtra`. - `readBib` gets new argument, `macros`, for specification of file(s) containing Bibtex macros (such as abbreviations for names of journals). These files are read in before file(s) specified by `file`. - `readBib` with `direct = TRUE` now accepts non-syntactic field names, e.g. containing `-`. (This is irrelevant when `direct = FALSE` since in that case nonstandard fields are ignored and standard fields do not contain unusual characters.) - internal structures for bibtex macros, such as `@string` were not cleared at the end of calls and were accumulating from multiple invocations of conversions from bibtex and biblatex. Now fixed. - now references with missing cite keys in bibtex input are accepted (previously such references were dropped). Dummy cite keys are inserted. - now `@preamble` entry in bibtex is ignored silently. Previously it was also dropped but with a message about unrecognised type, which was confusing. - export arXiv:XXX and similar as `https` (some were still exported as `http`). Fixes GeoBosh/Rdpack#21, reported by Kisung You. - unsuported conversions for some formats were accepted with unpredictable results. Informative messages are printed now. - improved handling of byte order marks (BOM) for utf8 output. This was causing problems to tests of this package on Windows since on Linux BOMs are not emitted (I haven't figured what causes the difference - the code is not OS dependent). - improved handling of corner cases in bibtex input, especially for `readBib` with `direct = TRUE`. # rbibutils 2.1.1 (CRAN) - now a warning (rather than error) is issued if package 'testthat' is not available for tests. - `readBib` now has a default for the encoding, so it would usually be called just with one argument (the filename). # rbibutils 2.1 (CRAN) - `readBib` can now convert bibtex files directly (i.e., without first converting to XML intermediate) to bibentry R objects. This can be requested by setting the new argument `direct` to `TRUE`. - `readBib` gets argument `texChars` to control whether or not to convert TeX sequences representing characters (such as accented Latin characters) to normal characters in the output encoding. There is an option also to convert charaters to the corresponding TeX sequences. - `readBib` now accepts encodings as for `bibConvert`. - `readBib` now processes field `key` in bibtex files. (This field is optional, used by some bibtex styles for sorting.) - bug fixes and improvements. - removed field `LazyData` from DESCRIPTION as there is no data directory (and R-devel now flags it with a NOTE). # rbibutils 2.0 (CRAN) - there is no longer (unintended) dependence on R >= 3.4. This was because of the use of `R_unif_index`. Report and fix due to Henrik Sloot (#1). - completely reimplemented the conversion to `bibentry` - now this is done entirely in `C` and it now has the same speed as the conversions to other bibliograthy formats. - removed `xml2` from the imports - it is no longer needed now that the conversion to bibentry is done in `C`. - new functions `readBibentry` and `writeBibentry` for reading from and writing bibentries to R source files. - now errors when reading bibentry files are turned into warnings with suitable messages. # rbibutils 1.4 (CRAN) - new function `writeBib` for writing bibtex files. - fixed erroneous processing of PhD thesis bib entries with some values of field `type`. (reported by Kisung You for GeoBosh/Rdpack#17) - fixed a compiler warning about a pointer differing in signedness from the expected type (reported by Patrice Kiener). - somehow `README.md` went missing in v1.3, now reinstated. # rbibutils 1.3 (CRAN) - reverted a change in v1.2 which caused trouble with some latex characters. - trimmed white space in cite keys and some others to avoid getting cite keys containing the newline character (possible if the comma after the key is on a new line). - new function `readBib` for importing bibtex files. # rbibutils 1.2.1 - improved processing of URL field when converting to bibentry. # rbibutils 1.2 - fixed inBook processing. - fixed encoding bug introduced in v1.1. - fixed misterous loss of `$`s and curly braces in certain circumstances. # rbibutils 1.1.0 (CRAN) - fixed processing of multiple person names in bibtex import. - mathematical formulas were wrongly exported without dollars in some cases. - stopped printing some messages causing problems to Rdpack. # rbibutils 1.0.3 (CRAN) - fixed warnings from `clang` compilers on CRAN. (These were about tautology `if` clauses in `src/adsout.c` and default argument promotion of the second argument in a couple of invocations of `va_start` in `src/modsout.c`). - fixed typo's in the documentation. - updated the website. # rbibutils 1.0.2 (CRAN) - completed the copyright credits in DESCRIPTION (there were contributors not mentioned anywhere except in the C source files they contributed). # rbibutils 1.0.1 - clarified the copyright holders in DESCRIPTION. # rbibutils 1.0.0 Features of this version: - includes an R port of `bibutils` libraries (currently `bibutils_6.10`). - supports all character encodings available in `bibutils` (defaults are UTF-8). - supports all input/output bibliography formats available in `bibutils`, including Bibtex, Biblatex, and XML mods intermediate. - in addition, supports conversions of the above formats from/to `bibentry` R source files or `rds` objects.
