The BibDesk development team is pleased to announce that BibDesk
1.1.3 is available for download at <http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/
>. This release has a fairly long list of changes, particularly in
the "Bugs Fixed" department, and is recommended for all users. We've
fixed at least one nasty crashing bug in 1.1.2, and hopefully more as
well. Further, this release should be compatible with pre-10.3.9 OS
versions again, in spite of the shiny new Tiger features (Spotlight
and PDFKit).
If you find bugs, please report them using the tracker at <https://
sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=61487&atid=497423>, so we can get
them fixed as soon as possible.
I forgot to mention in the official release notes that Spotlight
support won't be active until after you save a file. Other than
that, complete release notes follow:
Changes since 1.1.2
New Features
• Support for "starts with" and "ends with" in find/replace

• Spotlight support added, such that individual items show up in
Spotlight search results
• Implemented RFE #1238770; you can now set stop words for
sorting in preferences

all of the zooming and selection goodness of Tiger

• Allow opening and revealing the local file from the main table
using a contextual menu

Bugs Fixed
• Find/replace works only on full string components (between #
marks) when operating on macros
• Non-macro find/replace does not replace in macros
• Raw BibTeX value of strings is available from AppleScript

(hopefully) 10.2.8

• Use Core Graphics for the macro window shadow for Jaguar
compatibility

cite keys when adding ot the document

manager, which fixes some crashing bugs

one of the text view tabs (annote/abstract/rss)
