Hi again,

this is to announce another prerelease which is available right here:

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

This prerelease cleans up a couple of problems in pre3 and adds some
new features. See below for a full list of changes. In order to
test-drive the new standalone SRU server, you also need an updated
Perl RefDB-SRU package:

http://refdb.sourceforge.net/pre/RefDB-SRU-0.7.tar.gz

As usual, please send any comments, suggestions, and bug reports to
this list.

regards,
Markus

Bugfixes:

- fixed the style export on OS X (PPC)

- fixed the publication year output in RIS export if the otherinfo
  field is empty


Improvements:

- added config files for runbib and refdbjade to pass additional
  options to (open)jade, especially to increase or disable the error
  limit

- added a standalone SRU server for personal use or for testing purposes

- bibliography styles now have elements to record the style author, a
  description, and an URL that points to the source of the
  bibliographic rules.

- added a new legal bibliography style contributed by Jeremy Malcolm

- DocBook and TEI XML output is now indented and can optionally be namespaced

- DocBook XML V5.0 support


Backwards-incompatible changes:

- the -i option of refdbjade was changed to I (capital i) to make it
  the same as in runbib (which uses -i for a different
  purpose). runbib in turn now uses -s instead of -I to skip the ID
  extraction step, and -I instead of -m to set include options
