* Support of complex tag queries: Up to now, we did not answer tag queries with 10 or more tags for performance reasons. With this release, this has changed, now also larger numbers of tags can be queried. For the techies: We've solved the performance issue using Lucene in the background
* CSL via REST-API: Since our last release, we're offering a new export format for publications, namely formatted according to the Citation Style Language. This format is now also available via our API by appending the parameter ?format=csl
The Summer break is officially over and thus we have just released BibSonomy 2.0.18.
At our Maven repository you'll find the publicly available libraries.
As announced earlier by Robert, the name handling has been changed to always storing names as "last name, first name".
Further, this release introduces:
* an autocomplete for the inbox systemTag "send",
* an autocomplete for the detailed information fields during publication posting,
* an easy means to normalize your BibTeX keys,
* another supported filetype for the document upload: .tex,
* and scraping-support for publication posting from INSPIRE β and Taylor & Francis Online.
As always, we'll go into detail in our "Feature of the Week" blog post series.
* The Hidden SystemTag: A tag that is visible only to you: sys:hidden:<mySecretTag>
* OpenID Quicklinks: We added the three most frequently used OpenID providers as links to our sign-in page.
With some delay, today we upgraded BibSonomy to 2.0.16. We also updated our publicly available libraries at our Maven repository.
We are happy to announce, that this release includes the first version of a new major feature: Discussions and Reviews. We'll go into detail about that in our next blog post. But take a look at the stars you'll now find at the bottom right of every post and the new discussion link under each post.
Furthermore, new are:
* two new hidden system-tags: sys:unfiled and sys:jabRef:
* the extended functionality of the URL-parameter sortPage (sorting bookmarks is now possible)
* more allowed file types for your private document upload.
The next release is scheduled for July 27th.
Today we updated the running version of BibSonomy to 2.0.15. We also updated our publicly available libraries at our Maven repository. The new release mainly contains various small bug fixes and a great deal of internal clean-up. As we are continuing our efforts to increase speed we restructured and compressed all JavaScript content of the website.
The main visible improvements are:
* An overhaul of the handling and display of dates, for example the way a publications date is displayed in post lists.
* New options for the URL-paramter sortPage. By adding "?sortPage=note" to a BibSonomy URL you can order the displayed posts by their note. Other new options for sortPage are "day" and "month".
In this release we also included a lot of preparations for new features that are currently being developed and will be included in one of the next releases. Stay tuned!
The next release (2.0.16) is scheduled for June 29th. If you have any feedback or comments regarding our new release, we'd be happy to hear from you!
Today was the monthly release of BibSonomy. Next to small fixes, this release includes several efficiency improvements e
* an overhaul of several pages reducing the amount of data and
* a compression (gzip) of all content BibSonomy sends to your browser.
With the new release we also introduce two new features that we will discuss in greater detail in the upcoming "Feature of the week" posts.
* BibSonomy goes mobile: We added a new design specifically for browsers on mobile devices (like smart phones or tablets). The new scheme reduces the amount of information on a page, emphasising the core informations of each page and making BibSonomy fun to use even on small displays.
* BibSonomy now has experimental support for content negotiation using the HTTP "Accept" header. Depending on the value of the header, the client is redirected to a view with the specific content-type. Supported formats are "application/rdf+xml", "text/csv", "application/json", and "text/x-bibtex".
As always, get back to us with any kind of feedback and enjoy the new features.
We are very content about having such an active and dedicated user base and thank everyone who has let us know of their opinion and has provided helpful hints and recommendations.
