Hi, We did a three days coding marathon to prepare the work on JabRef 3.0. The goal was to streamline the codebase and make it more accessible to the outside.
The whole work takes part on the master branch. The version there is called "2.80" to show that transition to Jabref 3.0 is not yet complete, but Java 8 support is in and preparation work has been made. The switch to gradle is now complete. No ant necessary any more amd a major update of all dependencies. What is more, we use CircleCI, which makes the binary builds downloadable after each build. In CircleCI, go to the JabRef project and choose the artifacts tab. You have to create an account for that. We found that the plugin system is seldomly used outside. Since our rework of classes will break existing plugins and we are very open to pull request, we removed plugin support. All plugin developers should get in touch with us to discuss the next steps. The branch dev_2.11 has been created. It is used to prepare the release of the 2.11 version. We will include important fixes here, but will focus on getting a first 2.80 version ready. Therefore, we recommend to include new features in the master branch. If you have any questions, please get in touch with us. Cheers, Oliver ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Jabref-devel mailing list Jabref-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jabref-devel
