KBibTeX 0.6.1-alpha1 (0.6.0.80)

[t_fischer]

I just made a release of KBibTeX 0.6.1-alpha1 (0.6.0.80), which is the first preview release of the upcoming bugfix release in the 0.6 series. Please note that the 0.6 series is still based on KDE 4.

If you are a distribution packager, please check if you can download, build, and install the sources and that KBibTeX starts and runs without any obvious bugs or crashes. If you are a translator (GUI or documentation), please check if translations are complete, correct, and appear in the right places.

Future Releases

Once release 0.6.1 got published without problems, I plan to focus on releasing 0.7 which will be the last series based on KDE 4. Most likely, there will be a few bugfix releases in the next years as long as there are users still using KDE 4.

Following a successful release of KBibTeX 0.7, version 0.8 will be the first stable series building on KDE Frameworks 5.

Both code bases for 0.7 (in Git kbibtex/0.7) and 0.8 (master as of now) are quite stable, i. e. it should be a matter of weeks instead of months to get both releases out of the door. Both 0.7 and 0.8 will be quite similar featurewise, the main differences are due to the porting from KDE 4 to KDE Frameworks 5. If you want to run more current code than the 0.6 series offers, please fetch the sources and test for yourself.
