ANN: refdb-0.9.9-pre5 available for download

Hi all,

there is a new prerelease available at:

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

The list of changes compared to pre4 is fairly short, but the changes
are no less important. In fact, they may be key reasons for an upgrade
to 0.9.9! There are three changes which I'd like to point out:

1) as announced previously, the PHP web interface has been ripped out
   and replaced by a new implementation from scratch (thanks again to
   Dan O'Donnell and Dominik Reusser). The new interface is better and
   looks better, and leaves room for future extensions.

2) namespace support has been added to both the results returned by
   getref and the bibliographies. This allows, for the first time, to
   use RefDB in conjunction with schema-based DocBook V5 and TEI P5
   documents. It also allows to use the getref output in any other
   namespaced document.

3) raw bibliographies are now supported. This allows you to use RefDB
   as a reference data source without applying the style
   information. The output should be processed with the default
   DocBook or TEI stylesheets.

I'd appreciate if anyone working with schema-based documents could
have a look at the output generated by this prerelease. There may be a
few rough edges left which I'd like to fix before doing a new
release. Also, I'd appreciate your comments on the new PHP
interface. Comments and suggestions are more than welcome.

regards,
Markus
