ANN: refdb-0.9.8-1 available

Hi all,

0.9.8 unfortunately contained a few bugs which require a bugfix
release. 0.9.8-1 does not contain any new features. See below for a
description of the fixed bugs. The new release was built from the
subversion revision 273. The bugfixes also required a new release of
the perlclient module, now at version 1.16. Updated Cygwin binaries
will be released shortly.

The new releases can be grabbed here:

regards,
Markus

Bugfixes:

- the implementation of the addref/updateref/checkref client/server
  dialog was incorrect. The bug did not cause a loss of data under any
  circumstances. In fact, the bug was silent on most systems. However,
  the bug showed up randomly on Cygwin. The bug in the client/server
  dialog was *after* all data were added to the database, but *before*
  the result summary was transmitted to the client. Due to the bug
  refdbc would in some cases indicate an error when in fact the command
  had been processed successfully.

- the checkref command suffered from a possible segfault which was
  fixed

- getbib returned an error if one of the references did not contain
  any titles. This is now handled more gracefully.

- while at it, several memory leaks were plugged.
