BibSonomy ::  user :: jaeschke ::

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.

# Delicious: Our importer for Delicious bookmarks and Tag-Bundles works now for all Delicious users (we added the functionality for those who use their Yahoo! accounts on Delicious). # System tags: Several system tags are now hidden and visible only to the owners of the according posts. They are also removed from the tag clouds . # RSS Feed: Bookmark RSS Feeds now contain a copy link for each bookmark to conveniently copy bookmarks to your own collection.

Today we updated BibSonomy to version 2.0.12. As always, the new libraries are at your disposal at our Maven repository. Next to various small bugfixes and internal restructuring the following features were included / updated: * File Upload: It is now possible to upload and attach several documents to one BibTeX-Post. Furthermore, the upload is enabled already in the posting dialogue as well as in the editing and detail views. * API: API-Requests for Tags now allow a new parameter, that specifies the order in that the tags are delivered. Currently, we support alphabetic order and order by frequency. * Date: We changed the behaviour of the dates of our posts. From now on, the date is set fix once the post is created and does no longer change with each update/editing of that post. The next release (2.0.13) is scheduled for March 30th. If you have any feedback or comments regarding our new release, we would be happy to hear from you!

We just released BibSonomy's version 2.0.8. The new release mostly incorporates small bug fixes and some feature enhancements. Some improvements will be visible, such as the possibility to export your bookmarks to BibTeX-Entries on each bookmark list. We also extended the list of supported BibTeX entry types which now consist of * article * book * booklet * conference * electronic * inbook * incollection * inproceedings * manual * mastersthesis * misc * patent * periodical * phdthesis * preamble * presentation * proceedings * standard * techreport * unpublished We continuously look at our log files for spotting possible bugs - but we need your help for steadily improving BibSonomy. If you happen to encounter a bug or have an idea for a new feature, please don't hesitate inform us (email). Apart from updating the running system we've updated our Maven repository with the latest version of our open-source libraries. Stay tuned to our next release planned for the end of September!

# On your user settings page you can configure for most resource lists (e.g., in search results) which resource types (bookmarks and/or publications) should be displayed. # Also on your user settings page you can hide certain advanced features, which are relevant only to BibSonomy's power users. # Your exported BibTeX-snippets now contain a field which indicates the date you posted the corresponding entry to BibSonomy. # Most tag related pages (e.g., user-tag pages) contain on the sidebar's beginning references to corresponding tag or concept pages which now also contain counts for the correspondingly matching posts.

As announced roughly one month ago, we are currently establishing a monthly release cycle. We're sure you couldn't wait - since this week, you can experience our latest release. We are running version 2.0.6 right now, and hope it makes your BibSonomy experience even better! We've fixed several bugs (some scraper issues, problems when searching autors, and other minor fixes) and cleaned up internally some code; besides that, there are some new features: * When posting a publication, we now offer an autocompletion in the 'title'-field, which matches against all publications in our database. If you find the right one, you'll get the rest of the metadata (authors, year of publication, ..) such that you don't have to retype that stuff again. * In order to prevent misuse of our system, we now integrated an activation email in the BibSonomy registration process; you can't have access to our system until you've clicked that link. * As we're all humans, errors occur naturally during editing a publication (e.g., a forgotten author). We've worked over the way how these errors are presented to you - now the error message automatically disappears as soon as you type something into the correct field Apart from that, we've updated our Maven repository with the latest version of our open-source libraries. We're always happy to see other people using BibSonomy features! As usual, if you encounter any strange behaviours or errors, we are grateful for a little email notice, and we'll do our best to fix the issues. In any case have fun with the new release and stay tuned to our next release planned for June 30th!

Starting today, we want to establish a monthly release cycle, releasing a new version of BibSonomy on the Wednesday before the last Thursday of the month. The latest release fixes some bugs, e.g., on the newly introduced inbox, title-/description-autocompletion when posting bookmarks, adding/removing user's from groups, and various scrapers (IOP, APS, etc.). New features include * The sidebar on the start page now shows the latest blog posts. * There is a tag cloud for full-text searches available. * The author-tag pages now show related tags. We also updated the source code in our Maven repository to version 2.0.5. The next release is scheduled for Wednesday, May 26th, 2010.
