You can get JabRef as free software from FOSShub.

The “Automatic Field Editor” dialog was redesigned and polished by our GSoC mentee may be some issues left, feel free to report them in our issue tracker.Īs we updated the full-text search engine to Lucene 9.3, JabRef will recreate the search index in the background on start.īe aware that switching back and forth between the current version and any older version will make JabRef repeat this process every time, and this will take a long time for huge databases with many linked files.įor a complete list of all our changes, take a look at the Changelog. Notable UI improvements include the feature to drag and drop entries across libraries, by dropping them on the library tab. We also improved the automatic detection of the library’s charset and fixed a couple of issues regarding the writing of XMP Metadata to linked files. Several bugs have been fixed, and some improvements were made to the UI: Notable Changes and New FeaturesĬitations can now also be looked up in the Biodiversity Heritage Library and we also added support to import Citavi backup files.Ī new filter for the Unlinked Files Search has been introduced to respect file ignore patterns defined in a. Good question 😄 Probably by having a look at the recent issue reports that were solved by updating Java and taking a higher version as the minimal requirement.We are proud to announce the release of version 5.7 of our favorite citation manager JabRef. How do we decide which versions are acceptable?

But I have never seen problems with that since the FXML parser is relatively stable. Yes, some warning messages are displayed if you run FXML files with a different version than they were created with (there is a "version" string stored somewhere in the FXML code). In the light of this, should we test this as well? I guess I read it on SO, but don't remember exactly. I've seen issues where the Java FX version might be older than Java itself. Minimal version is the most important right now and a check if Java 9 is used What would be a good thing to track? Min-version, Max-version? You can try to be fancy and include it in the build settings file but I don't think that is worth the overhead. I would say it is ok to hard-code those checks.

Where should the information about min and max supported version number go? Preferences, Globals, build-settings.properties? Thanks for having a look at this issue! Concerning your questions, Might have others, if what ever distro opted to take somehting out a different timeĠ1:44 OK, but at leat they might have the same regex and I can extract numbers.Ġ1:45 yeah, meaning your only problem will be if they are using a different vendorīeside the simple java.version property, we have the class 3.SystemUtils already available. So I could at least write a unit test.Ġ1:40 well, for all OpenJDK or Oracle JVM, for java version 8, you have: 1.8.0_#Ġ1:43 now, if you are running IBM JVM then java.version will just say "1.8.0"Ġ1:43 Maldivia: And you got that list from where?Ġ1:44 those are the public build numbers at the moment. That's why I asked.Ġ1:37 well, across all openjdk jvms, you should be able to use java.versionĠ1:37 Slightly simpler question: is there a list of all java version numbers? :)Ġ1:38 Oracle and openjdk, you either have the 1.8.0_xxx format, or for java 9 9.somethingĠ1:38 Maldivia: Yeah, that's why a list would be handy. 1.8.0_74 and not say 1.8.0_144.Ġ1:36 I didn't want to hack something myself to compare versions.
#Jabref your current java version Patch#
so 10min of googling didn't failed me.Ġ1:33 halirutan: also, it's slightly different for IBM JDKĠ1:35 We kind of need to ensure not only that users have say 1.8 but even what patch they use.Ġ1:36 Maldivia: We ran into problems with JabRef if users has e.g. Used on all systems and all java version? Is there a comparator available in the standardĠ1:33 halirutan: it was changed in java 9 :DĠ1:33 Maldivia: Ahh. Some more info since java version numbers might not have a consistent scheme throughout different major versions and different vendors:Ġ1:32 Hey.
