Initial Comment:

Hi again!

Now I think I've got a history with this citation type. However, this report should be unrelated to that old stuff (hope so).

Now bibtex generation of ELEC entries into MISC bibtex types is dropping the AUTHOR part. This is new to 1.0.0-pre1 (and in svn). In 0.9.9-1 this generation was adding an extra comma instead (or this change may have occured because I have updated some other software on which refdb depends while I did the upgrade to svn).

See the example below.

Thanks again!
Damien

Are you still using reference databases created with RefDB 0.9.8 or
earlier? As I cannot reproduce this problem here, I suspect your reference
database was not properly upgraded when moving from 0.9.8 to the current
version. The internal data representation has changed somewhat, and this
would nicely explain the problems you see. Please check carefully the
UPGRADING file which explains the background and the proper procedure to
upgrade. Let me know if the problem persists, or if you can reproduce it
with a fresh database created with 0.9.9 or later.

regards,
Markus

Hi

I just noticed that this applies also to BOOK ris types (always) and GEN
ris types (when the author is inside the risx publication tag) - bibtex
generation is not giving back the author. Hope this is useful..

Peace
Damien
