ANN: refdb-publist-1.0 available

Hi,

I'd like to announce a new add-on for RefDB. publist is a set of files
that helps you to generate a publication list (like the one you attach
to your CV) from entries in your reference database. You'll get your
publications listed by type (thesis, peer-reviewed papers, invited
papers, abstracts and so on) and sorted by date (descending) within
each group. publist is essentially a slight modification of the
skeleton document and the Makefile that the refdbnd tool creates plus
a bibliography style which is suitable for this particular document
type. This is also an example of how a little Makefile programming
can greatly extend the capabilities of RefDB.

The tarball includes the documentation which explains the process in
full. Once you've set everything up, you'll just have to run "make" to
update your publication list whenever you've cranked out another
paper. If you're *really* prolific, you could even run this from a
cron script...

The package is available from the RefDB download page:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=26091

Please be aware that this tool requires the latest prerelease
(refdb-0.9.7-pre5) which I've announced lately.

This is a first release and likely to contain bugs or
erroneous/incomplete documentation. Please let me know if you run into
any problems.

regards,
Markus
