JabRef 2.3.1 and earlier.
- Improved regular expression file search, so the regular expression can contain field
markers as used for BibTeX key generation in addition to just regular fields. It is
no longer possible to call arbitrary layout formatters, but the modifiers "upper",
"lower" and "abbr" (for case conversion and abbreviation) can be used.

- Fixed bug 2027944: updating custom export definitions requires restart.
2.4b2

for the file type. xdg-open should be available to call the appropriate application according
to the user's settings on all freedesktop compliant Linux distributions.
- Download external file now attempts to determine file type based on MIME type, using
file extension as fallback.
- Changed the way names are handled under autocompletion. Last and first names are
now indexed separately.
- A table column can now be set up with fallback fields used if the main field is
empty. Fallback fields are set in Options -> Preferences -> Main table columns by
setting a column to "field1/field2/...". The fields will be checked in succession
until a non-empty value has been found or al fields have been checked. For instance,
specifying "author/editor" will result in a column displaying the author field where,
set, and the editor field for entries with an empty author field.

words from the BibTeX key field instead of the "crossref" field. Added crossref
to the default fields using autocompletion.

and file types. Added regexp search as a third option for autolink feature.
- Added support for BibO RDF format, contributed by Egon Willighagen.

through alternatives would give wrong result in editor.

by mouse click while editing a field of the current entry.

- Fixed bug where the external update notification in the side pane would remain
even if the referred database was closed.

JPF as the underlying technology). Currently extension points exist for:
- ImportFormat
- ExportFormat based on Templates
- ExportFormat based on IExportFormat (contributed by Kariem Hussein)
- LayoutFormatter
- EntryFetcher
- PushToApplication
JabRef uses JPFCodeGenerator (which was written just for JabRef) to
generate helper classes for making JPF easier. Current version used: 0.4
http://forge.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de/projects/jpfcodegen/
- Print warnings if insufficient Java version is used or if JRE is not from Sun.

- Reduced horizontal size of preferences dialog.
- Fixed handling of quotes when using the "abbr" modifier for key generator (Debian bug

overwritten, a new file dialog now appears instead of the operation cancelling.

on LCDs when running under JRE 6. Removed non-optional antialias settings for entry
editor for the same reason.
- Changed external link handling so remote (http) links can be sent to the external
application. Applications like Evince and Gimp can open remote links.
- Replaced Simle HTML export filter with improved version by Mark Schenk.
- Introduced ParamLayoutFormatter interface for layout formatters that can take an
argument by the following syntax: \format[MyFormatter(argument)]{\field}

have been introduced to control whether imported/appended/pasted entries should have
these fields overwritten if already set.
