Release of JabRef 3.8.2

As the new year is now almost one month old it’s time to replace the “Christmas Edition” of JabRef with a normal release. Thus: We have just released version 3.8.2!

The new version 3.8.2 can be downloaded as of now from FossHub or at GitHub.

Apart from the switch to standard colors version 3.8.2 contains mainly bug fixes.

The most important fixes are:

  • A problem during “find unlinked files” which might have frozen JabRef has been fixed
  • dynamic, RegEx-based groups can be edited again
  • non-ISO timestamps do no longer prevent the opening of the entry editor
  • Collapse and expand all buttons in the group assignment dialog no longer lead to a crash of JabRef.

An overview of all new features and fixes can be found as usual in the Changelog at GitHub.

A note to all Mac OS X users: There might be problems if you don’t have Java 8 installed on your machine.
Moreover, you might be required to use Cmd-MouseClick to open the installer to be able to ignore a security warning.
For more information checkout the Mac OSX FAQs.

For questions about the functioning or suggestions for improvements please use the discussion forum.
In case you have trouble, report bugs on GitHub.
