Hi list,

First, let me thank Jesse Alama for suggesting I set up this list. Although
I suspect the number of subscribers is still very small (say, 3 or so ;-) I
thought I might use it as it is intended, and announce the next release of
Ebib!

The new version incorporates two suggestions made by Jesse: first, the
command keys are now customisable. This can be done in .ebibrc, and should
be pretty self-explanatory (though see the updated manual for details.)

Note that the key definitions are now all in .ebibrc. That means that if
you install the new version, you must also copy the new ebibrc to your HOME
dir (or at least copy the key definitions to your existing .ebibrc),
otherwise no command keys will be defined.

I've added a few key bindings, so that C-p, C-n and M-p, M-n now do what
one would expect in Emacs. (The existing keys j, k, b and space are still
available, BTW.)

The second suggestion from Jesse that I've included is the ability to
change the key name of an entry. So if you have a key called `jones:1998'
and want to change it to `jones:1998a', you can do that from within
Ebib. There's no longer a need to change it in the .bib file and reload the
file into Ebib.

Jesse made a few other suggestions, that I'm considering incorporating. One
thing I think I won't do, is to use Emacs' standard customisation interface
(M-x customize) for Ebib. Personally, I don't really like this interface,
and the elisp code it generates is so cluttered that it can hardly be
modified by hand. Plus, I feel that the little customisation that Ebib
might need can easily be handled through .ebibrc. (I'm of course open to
counter-arguments on this point, so please let me know if you feel
differently.)

I've just finished uploading the new version to the Sourceforge servers. It
should be available on the mirrors soon.
