ANN: refdb-0.9.8-pre1 available

Hi,

I've uploaded a new prerelease of RefDB:

http://refdb.sourceforge.net/pre/refdb-latest.tar.gz

This prerelease tackles the following issues:

Bugfixes:

- using apostrophes in query strings is now possible if they're
  escaped by a backslash


Improvements:

- restored the ability to handle multiple databases in a LaTeX
  document

- changed the citation format in Latex to: \cite{dbname:citekey} (the
  "dbname:" prefix is optional. If it is missing, RefDB uses the
  default database specified for refdbib)

- LaTeX command characters are now properly escaped in all bibtex
  output

- a new script "bib2ris-utf8" simplifies import of bibtex data. The
  script sends the output of bib2ris through the new
  refdb_latex2utf8txt script to convert foreign character commands to
  Unicode characters and to remove all other LaTeX commands

- all character encoding-related defaults should now use UTF-8 

- allow multiple personal reference lists per user. A description of
  the feature is in the manual which is shipped with the tarball, or
  have a look at this brief writeup:

I'm sure there are a couple of bugs to unearth. Please report any odd
behaviour to the list.

regards,
Markus
