I had been using JabRef-3.8.2 on the old desktop and now use JabRef-4.3.1 on
the new desktop. I have questions about changes:

1. Using the JabRef -> Lyx link icon I inserted a citation in the LyX text
and the reference was inserted in the bibliography. However, when I tried to
preview the output LaTeX refused because the reference has deprecated font
syntax, specifically '\sc' and '\bf'. These have been replaced with
'\textsc' and '\textbf', respectively. How do I get JabRef to use the
accepted formats instead of the deprecated ones?

2. Looking at refereces in the JabRef UI I see small, yellow triangles by
some fields on some references. Holding the cursor over them shows me what
JabRef does not like. With multiple authors on a publication, I've always
specified authors as 'Lastname1, F.I. and Lastname2, F.I. and ...'. JabRef's
flag says this is not acceptable JabRef format. Why not, and what is?

In the title field when uppercase letters begin words other than the first
one JabRef tells me that they're not written within braces. Do I need to
change all entries so that uppercase letters other than at the start of the
title are within curly braces?

3. Is there a changelog showing all changes in 4.3.1 from earlier versions,
specifically 3.8.2?

TIA,

Rich
