15 * ebib.el (ebib-call-file-viewer): modified to use
16 file-name-extension. is probably a safer bet that what i used
17 before: (last1 (split-string file "\\.")).
19 2008-05-21 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
21 * ebib.el (ebib-add-entry): bugfix: moved the code that creates

28 2008-04-20 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
30 * ebib.el (ebib-entry-summary): modified: if the ebib buffers are

32 relevant entry is displayed in the ebib buffers.

35 dedicated flag must be temporarily unset in order to switch to the

91 requested. rebound to "Z".
93 2008-04-18 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
95 * ebib.el (ebib-search-next): changed $ in search string to space:

108 * ebib.el (ebib-view-file): new. bound to 'f' in the index
109 buffer. (which means that 'f' is no longer bound to

115 * ebib.el (ebib-add-entry): used ebib-display-entry to insert the

120 * ebib.el (ebib-add-entry): inserted a space in the format string
121 that puts the new entry key into the buffer. this way
122 ebib-set-index-highlight doesn't put the end of the highlight at
125 2008-03-26 Morgan Veyret <patzy@appart.kicks-ass.net>
127 * ebib.el (ebib): changed to check if ebib is visible

177 strings. (this is apparently not an Emacs convention...)

179 (ebib-read-string): same.
181 2007-11-09 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>

207 (ebib-find-bibtex-entries): added "Line" to warning message.
208 (ebib-read-string): same.
209 (ebib-read-entry): same.
210 (ebib-log): added save-excursion, so that the ebib log buffer is
211 only current during this function. also modified to no longer set
212 ebib-log-error to 0 unconditionally, instead checks if it's still
213 nil. also modified to use cond.
214 (ebib-match-brace-forward): new. this function handles braces {}
216 (ebib-match-paren-forward): modified to handle parenthesis () and
217 braces {} differently.
218 (ebib-match-quote-forward): modified: logs an error when no
219 closing quote is found, and moves point to the char after the
222 2007-11-07 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
224 * ebib.el (ebib-log-error): new.
225 (ebib-create-buffers): added creating the log buffer.
226 (ebib-find-bibtex-entries): modified to use ebib-log.

240 * ebib.el (ebib-syntax-table): new.
241 (ebib-load-bibtex-file): modified to use with-syntax-table.
242 (ebib-merge-bibtex-file): same.

246 2007-10-31 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
248 * ebib.el (ebib-init): removed test whether ~/.ebibrc exists; use

253 * ebib.el (ebib-marked-face): turned into a customisable option.
254 (ebib-fill-index-buffer): modified to use ebib-marked-face as a
255 face, rather than a variable.
256 (ebib-mark-entry): same.
258 2007-10-29 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
260 * ebib.el (ebib-fill-index-buffer): changed mapcar to mapc
261 (prevents compiler warning). fix provided by Leo
262 <sdl.web at gmail.com>.
263 (ebib): added autoload cookie. suggested by Leo
264 <sdl.web at gmail.com>.
265 (ebib-mark-entry): fixed typo: '(face ,ebib-marked-face) to `(face
266 ,ebib-marked-face). fix provided by Leo <sdl.web at gmail.com>.
268 2007-10-22 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
270 * ebib.el (ebib): modified to store the buffer from which ebib is
271 called in ebib-push-buffer, so that it becomes the default for
272 pushing entries. Thanks to Sinisa Pajevic for the suggestion.
274 2007-10-20 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
276 * ebib.el (ebib-redisplay-current-field): modified. now redisplays
277 the entire entry buffer is the current field is crossref. (cutting
278 the value from the crossref field would leave the inherited field
280 (ebib-import): modified to use insert-buffer-substring, rather
281 than buffer-string and insert. this way, there is no need to
282 temporarily store the buffer contents in a variable.
283 (ebib-get-field-highlighted): modified so that it doesn't produce
284 an error if an entry contains a crossref to an entry that does not

290 * ebib.el (ebib-local-bibtex-filenames): renamed from
291 ebib-local-bibtex-filname. this is now a list of strings, rather
292 than a string. thanks to Sinisa Pajevic for pointing out that a
293 \bibliography command can contain more than one .bib file.
294 (ebib-extract-bibfiles): removed.
295 (ebib-get-local-databases): modified to return a list of database
296 filenames. also now uses insert-buffer-substring, rather than a
297 combination of buffer-string and insert.
298 (ebib-insert-bibtex-key): modified so that it can handle multiple
299 bibtex files. this reflects the change to
300 ebib-local-bibtex-filenames.
301 (ebib-entry-summary): same.
303 2007-10-19 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
305 * ebib.el (ebib-push-entry-key): new. pushes the current entry
306 key, or the marked entry keys, to a buffer, using
307 ebib-insertion-strings. thanks to Sinisa Pajevic for suggesting
309 (ebib-key "p"): changed to ebib-push-entry-key.
310 (ebib-key "r"): new. assigned to ebib-edit-preamble.
311 (ebib-prefixed-functions): ebib-push-entry-key added.
312 (ebib-push-buffer): new. holds the name of the last buffer to
313 which an entry was pushed, to present it as default in the next

317 2007-10-11 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
319 * ebib.el (ebib-get-field-highlighted): modified so as to show
320 field values inherited from a cross-referenced entry.
321 (ebib-crossref-face): new.
322 (ebib-edit-crossref): modified to redisplay the entire entry
323 buffer, not just the current field.

330 minibuffer about what the user is doing.
332 2007-06-26 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
334 * ebib.el (ebib-insert-bibtex-key): changed to show the cite
335 command that the user has selected through the prefix argument.
337 2007-04-26 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>

345 ebib-allow-identical-fields.
347 2007-03-30 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
349 * ebib.el (ebib-url-regexp): bug fix: removed \l from default
352 2007-03-29 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
354 * ebib.el: Ebib 1.3.0 released.
356 2007-03-29 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
358 * ebib.el (ebib-index-mode-map): added "u" key.
359 (ebib-url-field): new.
360 (ebib-url-regexp): new.
361 (ebib-browse-url): new.

363 (ebib-entry-mode-map): added "u" key.
364 (ebib-browse-url-in-field): new.
365 (ebib-call-browser-command): new.
367 2007-03-28 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
369 * ebib.el (raw-p): regexp "\".*?\" replaced with
370 "\"[^\"]*?\"". The dot doesn't match \n, so a multiline string
371 enclosed by double quotes was incorrectly recognised as a raw
374 2007-03-27 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
376 * ebib.el (ebib-export-entry): ebib-execute-when
377 removed. ebib-marked-p replaced with ebib-called-with-prefix.
378 (ebib-export-single-entry): added ebib-execute-when.
379 (ebib-export-marked-entries): same.
380 (ebib-prefix-map): new. (actually, this is ebib-semicolon-map
381 reintroduced under a new name.)
382 (ebib-index-mode-map): binding of the prefix key ";" changed to
384 (ebib-key): modified so that if the user redefines a key in
385 ebib-index-mode-map, it checks whether the function is bound in
386 ebib-prefix-map as well, and if so, binds it to the same
387 key. Furthermore, if the user unbinds a key, it is unbound in
388 ebib-prefix-map as well.
389 (ebib-marked-p): removed.
390 (ebib-prefixed-functions): new.
391 (ebib-prefix-key): new.
392 (ebib-key): modified so that it unsets the current prefix key if
393 the user redefines the prefix key with mark-prefix.
394 (ebib-index-mode-map): key bindings no longer done in the defvar
395 definition, but at top level with ebib-key. Using ebib-key has the
396 advantage that ebib-prefix-map is automatically set up correctly
399 2007-03-26 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
401 * ebib.el (ebib-called-with-prefix): new.
402 (ebib-marked-p): new.

415 (ebib-print-marked-entries): removed.
416 (ebib-semicolon-map): removed.

422 (ebib-latex-database): removed.
423 (ebib-latex-marked-entries): removed.
424 (ebib-latex-entries): made interactive and modified to handle
426 (ebib-mark-all): removed.
428 2007-03-25 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
430 * ebib.el (ebib-remove-entry-from-db): modified so that a deleted
431 entry is also deleted from edb-marked-entries if it's there. This
432 avoids problems when the user deletes a marked entry, and also
433 when he renames the entry key of a marked entry.
434 (ebib-delete-marked-entries): no longer sets edb-marked-entries to
435 nil, as the entries are removed one by one by
436 ebib-remove-entry-from-db.
437 (ebib-edit-keyname): modified so that it marks the renamed entry
438 if it was marked before the renaming.
439 (ebib-unmark-all): renamed to ebib-mark-all.
440 (ebib-mark-all): modified so that it marks all entries if there
441 are no marked entries.
442 (ebib-mark-entry): real-db removed from ebib-execute-when.
443 (ebib-export-entry): modified to include the entry name in the
444 messages passed to ebib-export-to-db and ebib-export-to-file.
445 (ebib-export-string): same with string abbreviation.
447 2007-03-24 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
449 * ebib.el (ebib-export-string): modified to make use of
450 ebib-export-to-db and ebib-export-to-file.
451 (ebib-export-all-strings): same.
452 (ebib-export-preamble): same.
453 (ebib-export-marked-entries): new.
454 (ebib-semicolon-map): new key "x" added.
456 (ebib-write-database): rewritten to stop XEmacs from
457 complaining. (See arch log for details.)
458 (ebib-export-to-file): modified documentation string, as it said
459 something about insert-fn that isn't correct.
460 (ebib-execute-helper): added marked-entries.
461 (ebib-delete-marked-entries): modified to use marked-entries.
462 (ebib-export-marked-entries): same.
463 (ebib-delete-marked-entries): added default clause to
465 (ebib-print-entries): new. contains most of the code of former
467 (ebib-print-database): modified to use ebib-print-entries.
468 (ebib-print-marked-entries): new.
469 (define-prefix-command): new keys "P", "L" and "m".
470 (ebib-mark-entry): modified: no longer adds the text properties to
471 the entry key in the database, just in the index buffer.
472 (ebib-fill-index-buffer): modified so that it adds a highlight to
474 (ebib-latex-entries): new. contains most of the code of former
476 (ebib-latex-database): modified to use ebib-latex-entries.
477 (ebib-latex-marked-entries): new.
478 (ebib-unmark-all): new.
480 2007-03-23 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
482 * ebib.el (ebib-export-to-db): new.
483 (ebib-export-to-file): new.
484 (ebib-export-entry): modified to make use of ebib-export-to-db and
487 2007-03-20 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
489 * ebib.el (ebib-edit-field): changed to unconditionally add braces
490 around the text the user enters. Formerly, this was done through
491 from-raw, which meant that if the user typed braces around the
492 text, these would disappear.
494 2007-03-19 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
496 * ebib.el (add-to-listq): added a test for Emacs < 22.
497 (ebib-index-mode-map): removed 'ebib-index-mode-map argument to

502 (ebib-help-mode-map): same.
503 (ebib-semicolon-map): new.
504 (ebib-index-mode-map): added ";" key.
505 (ebib-remove-entry-from-db): bug fix: would delete the key of the
506 current entry from the keys list, regardless of which entry was
508 (ebib-semicolon-map): added "d" key.
509 (ebib-delete-marked-entries): new.
510 (ebib-entry-mode-map): bindings of C-x b and C-x k changed to
512 (disabled): removed. The predefined function undefined does the
515 2007-03-13 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
517 * ebib.el (ebib-filter-to-virtual-db): removed the check for the
518 `type' field. What was actually meant was the `type*' field, and
519 since this is not in ebib-unique-field-list anyway, the user isn't
520 able to filter on it.
522 2007-03-12 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
524 * ebib.el (ebib-mark-entry): added again for the 1.3 branch.
526 2007-03-12 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
528 * ebib.el: ebib 1.2.0 released.
530 2007-03-12 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
532 * ebib.el (ebib-mark-entry): removed in preparation for release.
534 2007-03-12 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
536 * ebib.el (ebib-print-database): bugfix: if ebib-print-tempfile is
537 set to "", which is its default value, the body of if-str would
539 (ebib-latex-database): same.
541 2007-03-10 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
543 * ebib.el (ebib-latex-database): new.
544 (ebib-print-preamble): new.
545 (ebib-print-multiline): new.
546 (ebib-latex-preamble): new.
547 (ebib-print-tempfile): new.
548 (ebib-print-database): modified to use ebib-print-preamble,
549 ebib-print-multiline and ebib-print-tempfile.
550 (ebib-latex-database): added real-db to ebib-execute-when.
551 (ebib-timestamp-format): new.
552 (ebib-insert-entry): modified to use format-time-string and ebib-timestamp-format.
553 (ebib-format-entry): same.
554 (ebib-yank-field-contents): renamed from ebib-paste-field-contents.
556 2007-03-08 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
558 * ebib.el (ebib-print-database): new.
560 2007-03-06 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
562 * ebib.el (ebib-index-scroll-down): new. replaces ebib-entry-page-up.
563 (ebib-index-scroll-up): new. replaces ebib-entry-page-down.
564 (ebib-follow-crossref): new.
565 (ebib-index-mode-map): added "F" key.
567 2007-03-02 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
569 * ebib.el (ebib-delete-entry): removed optional argument
570 entry-key, as it wasn't used at all.
572 2007-03-01 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
574 * ebib.el (ebib-paste-field-contents): sets this-command to t if
575 called illegally. that way, a second consecutive call to this
576 function is also recognised as illegal.
578 2007-02-26 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
580 * ebib.el (ebib-paste-field-contents): doc string slightly expanded.
582 2007-02-25 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
584 * ebib.el (ebib-paste-field-contents): added test for crossref field.
585 (ebib-paste-field-contents): modified so that repeatedly calling
586 this command walks around the kill ring, just like C-y/M-y.
588 2007-02-23 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
590 * ebib.el (ebib-move-to-field): bug fix: if the field being moved
591 to is type*, used to search for 'type', causing confusion with an
592 actual type field (e.g. in the entry type incollection.) now just
593 moves to (point-min).
594 (ebib-set-modified): bug fix: the modification flag of the index
595 buffer would be (re)set, regardless of whether it actually holds
596 the database whose modification flag is being (re)set.
598 2007-02-22 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
600 * ebib.el (ebib-execute-when): changed so that it does not produce
601 a spurious and if the envs list of a form only contains one element.
603 2007-02-21 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
605 * ebib.el (ebib-print-filter): changed the argument of interactive
606 from "p" to "P", to obtain the raw prefix argument.
607 (ebib-save-current-database): changed message to error.
608 (ebib-print-filter): added a default-clause to ebib-execute-when,
610 (ebib-prev-entry): same.
611 (ebib-next-entry): same.
612 (ebib-add-entry): same.
613 (ebib-goto-first-entry): same.

616 (ebib-mark-entry): same.
617 (ebib-entry-page-up): same.
618 (ebib-entry-page-down): same.
619 (ebib-write-database): same.
620 (ebib-delete-entry): same.
621 (ebib-select-entry): same.
622 (ebib-export-entry): same.
624 (ebib-search-next): same.
625 (ebib-edit-strings): same.
626 (ebib-edit-preamble): same.
627 (ebib-export-preamble): same.
628 (ebib-virtual-db-and): same.
629 (ebib-virtual-db-or): same.
630 (ebib-virtual-db-not): same.
632 2007-02-20 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
634 * ebib.el (ebib-filter-to-virtual-db): fixed a bug: the additional
635 fields weren't included in the collection.
636 (ebib-edit-field): spurious progn removed.
637 (ebib-execute-helper): wrapped in an eval-and-compile because
638 otherwise XEmacs complains that the symbol ebib-execute-helper's
639 value as function is void.
640 (safe-write-region): new. GNU Emacs has an optional argument to
641 write-region that can be used to make sure the user doesn't
642 inadvertently overwrite an already existing file. XEmacs does not
644 (ebib-write-database): modified to use safe-write-region.
645 (ebib-insertion-strings): changed the default value from nil to
646 '((1 . "\\cite{%s}")).
648 2007-02-19 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
650 * ebib.el (ebib-index-mode-map): changed binding for
651 ebib-merge-bibtex-file from "m" to "M".
652 (ebib-index-mode-map): added binding "m" for ebib-mark-entry.
653 (ebib-mark-entry): new.
654 (ebib-marked-face): new. needed to accommodate xemacs. there must
655 be a better way to do this... Note that in xemacs, i know of no
656 better way than to use '(face highlight) for both the overlay
657 marking the current entry and to mark selected entries. that means
658 that you cannot tell if the current entry is selected or not. gnu
659 emacs has highlight and :inverse-video. (though the former may be
660 obsoleted at some point?)
661 (ebib-fill-index-buffer): changed to accommodate xemacs. (see
662 comment in the source.)
663 (ebib-index-buffer-help): updated.
664 (ebib-execute-when): new.
665 (ebib-execute-helper): new.
666 (when-entries): removed. its functionality is now covered by
668 (ebib-write-database): modified to use ebib-execute-when and if-str.
669 (ebib-export-entry): modified to use ebib-execute-when. also added
670 a check to make sure that the goal database is not virtual.
671 (ebib-export-preamble): same.
672 (ebib-export-all-strings): added a check to make sure the goal
673 database is not virtual.
674 (ebib-export-string): same.
675 (ebib-prev-entry): modified to use ebib-execute-when.
676 (ebib-next-entry): same.
677 (ebib-add-entry): same.
678 (ebib-close-database): same.
679 (ebib-goto-first-entry): same.
680 (ebib-goto-last-entry): same.
681 (ebib-edit-entry): same.
682 (ebib-edit-keyname): same.

684 (ebib-entry-page-down): same.
685 (ebib-save-database): same.
686 (ebib-save-current-database): same.
687 (ebib-delete-entry): same.
688 (ebib-remove-key-from-buffer): same.
689 (ebib-select-entry): same.
691 (ebib-search-next): same.

693 (ebib-edit-preamble): same.
694 (ebib-next-database): same.
695 (ebib-prev-database): same.
696 (ebib-virtual-db-and): same.
697 (ebib-virtual-db-or): same.
698 (ebib-virtual-db-not): same.
699 (ebib-print-filter): same.
701 2007-02-19 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
703 * ebib.el: ebib-1.1.4 released.
705 2007-02-19 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
707 * ebib.el (ebib-filter-to-virtual-db): changed the collection to
708 contain strings rather than symbols, because xemacs requires that.
710 2007-02-18 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
712 * ebib.el (add-to-listq): new. introduced mainly because xemacs
713 doesn't allow the fourth argument to add-to-list. (actually, i'm
714 not sure if emacs 21.4 supports it...)
716 2007-02-13 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
718 * ebib.el (ebib-quit): set ebib-strings-highlight to nil.
720 2007-02-11 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
722 * ebib.el (ebib-unique-field-list): new. used for TAB-completion
723 in ebib-filter-to-virtual-db.
724 (ebib-set-entry-types-hash): modified to set
725 ebib-unique-field-list.
726 (ebib-key): modified to keep the cond statement out of the
728 (ebib-create-new-database): modified to take an optional database
729 argument: if supplied, returns a copy of that database.
730 (ebib-index-mode-map): added "&", "|", "~" and "V".
731 (ebib-virtual-db-and): new.
732 (ebib-virtual-db-or): new.
733 (ebib-virtual-db-not): new.
734 (ebib-filter-to-virtual-db): new.
735 (ebib-create-virtual-db): new.
737 (ebib-run-filter): new.
738 (ebib-print-filter): new.
739 (ebib-write-database): modified to handle virtual databases.
740 (ebib-edit-entry): modified to exclude virtual databases.
741 (ebib-edit-keyname): same.
742 (ebib-save-current-database): same.
743 (ebib-save-database): same.
744 (ebib-merge-bibtex-file): same
745 (ebib-add-entry): same.
746 (ebib-delete-entry): same.
747 (ebib-export-entry): same.
748 (ebib-edit-strings): same.
749 (ebib-edit-preamble): same.
750 (ebib-export-preamble): same.
752 (ebib-fill-entry-buffer): modified so that it does not result in
753 an error if the current entry does not exist. This is needed in
754 case the user deletes an entry from a database that has a virtual
755 database that containe that entry.
756 (ebib-format-entry): put (eq key 'timestamp) first in the and
757 clause. no need to check timestamp and ebib-use-timestamp for any
759 (ebib-write-database): modified so that when a virtual database is
760 written to a file, it doesn't attempt to put an entry that is
761 still in a virtual database's keys-list but has been deleted in
762 the source database into the new database. (note: this is still
763 not the proper way to handle this. we need to find a clean way to
764 handle the consequences of an entry being deleted in a source
767 2007-02-10 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
769 * ebib.el (when-entries): included a declare indent statement.
770 (with-buffer-writable): same.
771 (edb): added fields `name' and `virtual'.
772 (ebib-fill-index-buffer): modified to use edb-name.
773 (ebib-load-bibtex-file): same.
774 (ebib-write-database): same.
775 (ebib-search-in-entry): added optional field argument.
777 2007-02-04 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
779 * ebib.el (ebib-goto-next-set): adapted to make use of
781 (ebib-goto-prev-set): same.
783 (ebib-preload): removed.
784 (ebib-additional-fields): removed.
785 (ebib-insert-entry): modified to insert a timestamp, depending on
786 the argument TIMESTAMP and on the setting of EBIB-USE-TIMESTAMP.
787 (ebib-add-entry): modified: it no longer adds a timestamp
788 itself (as it did after the change two days ago) but just requests
789 ebib-insert-entry to do so.
790 (ebib-read-entry): modified to request insertion of a timestamp.
791 (ebib-edit-keyname): modified so as to explicitly NOT insert a
793 (ebib-export-entry): modified so as to request insertion of a
794 timestamp, both when exporting to another database and to a file.
795 (ebib-find-bibtex-entries): modified: timestamp argument
796 added. This argument is simply passed on to ebib-read-entry.
797 (ebib-load-bibtex-file): modified so that no timestamp is inserted
798 into the entries read from file.
799 (ebib-import): modified to request insertion of a timestamp.
800 (ebib-format-entry): modified to insert a timestamp if required.
801 (ebib-export-entry): fixed a bug that kept ebib-export-filename
803 (ebib-export-preamble): same.
805 2007-02-03 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
807 * ebib.el (ebib-format-fields): modified to check if hidden fields
809 (ebib-init): added a line to make timestamp a hidden field.
810 (ebib-hide-hidden-fields): new.
811 (ebib-toggle-hidden): new.
812 (ebib-move-to-field): new.
813 (ebib-find-visible-field): new.
814 (ebib-prev-field): rewritten to make use of ebib-move-to-field.
815 (ebib-next-field): same.
816 (ebib-goto-first-field): same.
817 (ebib-goto-last-field): same.
819 2007-02-02 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
821 * ebib.el (ebib-use-timestamp): new.
822 (ebib-add-entry): modified so that it adds a timestamp if
823 ebib-use-timestamp is set.
825 2007-01-23 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
827 * ebib.el (ebib-keys-window-size): new.
828 (ebib): modified to use ebib-keys-window-size.
829 (ebib-entry-page-up): same.
830 (ebib-entry-page-down): same.
831 (ebib-customize): new.
832 (ebib-index-mode-map): added "C" key command.
834 2007-01-10 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>

841 after exporting the preamble) fixed.
843 2006-12-13 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
845 * ebib.el: Ebib 0.28 released.
847 2006-12-12 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
849 * ebib.el (ebib-edit-crossref): fixed a bug that caused
850 ebib-set-modified not to be executed.
851 (ebib-set-modified): fixed. save-excursion should not be part of
853 (ebib-quit): ebib-default-type no longer set to nil. (quiting and
854 restarting ebib would leave it set to nil.)
855 (ebib-save-xrefs-first): new.
856 (ebib-compare-xrefs): new.
857 (ebib-format-database): modified to put crossreferencing entries
860 2006-11-13 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
862 * ebib.el: Ebib 0.27 released.

877 insertion strings can be defined.
878 (ebib-insert-bibtex-key): modified to use the new ebib-insertion-strings.
880 2006-10-24 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
882 * ebib.el (ebib-insert-bibtex-key): changed to use a customisable

890 2006-10-23 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
892 * ebib.el (ebib-set-entry-types-hash): new, to make customising
893 the entry types through the customisation buffer possible.
894 (defentry): modified, so that an entry defined with defentry is
895 also added to the list ebib-entry-types.
896 (ebib-additional-fields): renamed from ebib-ign-fields; modified
897 to check whether a field is already in the list before it is
898 added, so that it is not added twice when Ebib is closed and

900 (ebib-find-bibtex-entries): added modify-syntax-entry, so that
901 users can type (e.g.) "o to create umlaut-o.
902 (ebib-format-database): use mapc on edb-keys-list rather than
903 maphash on edb-database, so that the entries are saved in
904 alphabetical order. (Following a suggestion of Thomas Schmitz.)
906 2006-10-14 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
908 * ebib.el: added customisation group ebib.
910 2006-10-01 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
912 * ebib.el (ebib-remove-key-from-buffer): added when-entries, to
913 get rid of an error message when the last entry is deleted.
914 (ebib-find-end-of-field): fixed a nasty bug that occurred when
915 reading a .bib-file with an entry in which the last field is raw
916 and is immediately followed by the closing brace. Thanks to Thomas
917 Schmitz for bringing this to my attention.
919 2006-09-14 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
921 * ebib.el (ebib-ign-fields): code, uri and location removed.
923 2006-08-29 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
925 * ebib.el (ebib-find-bibtex-entries): changed to return a list of
926 the number of entries and number of strings found, and a boolean
927 for whether a preamble was found.
928 (ebib-load-bibtex-file): adapted to accept the new return value of
929 ebib-find-bibtex-entries.
930 (ebib-merge-bibtex-file): same.

937 2006-08-25 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>

963 (ebib-remove-entry-from-db): split off from ebib-delete-entry.

969 * ebib.el (ebib-edit-field): added special clause for the annote
970 field, so that the user is dropped into the multiline edit buffer.
972 2005-11-18 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
974 * ebib.el (ebib-read-string): changed so that it does not store
975 the braces or quotes surrounding the string.
976 (ebib-match-quote-forward): added a check to make sure that when a
977 double quote is found at the search limit, this isn't mistakenly
978 taken as the matching quote if it is escaped by a backslash.
980 2005-11-17 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
982 * ebib.el (ebib-fields-mode-map): bound C-x k to
983 ebib-quit-fields-buffer.

987 2005-11-05 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
989 * ebib.el (ebib-load-bibtex-file): use file-readable-p instead of
992 2005-11-04 Joost Kremers <joostkremers@yahoo.com>
994 * ebib.el (ebib-format-fields): new. formats the fields and calls
995 a function to output them.
996 (ebib-fill-fields-buffer): moved the actual formatting and
997 printing code to ebib-format-fields.
