9. Changes

Here is a list of recent changes to RefTeX.

Version 4.34

• The creation of BibTeX files with reftex-create-bibtex-file now recognizes cross-referenced entries and ‘@string’ definitions.
• RefTeX now provides better options for defining and selecting special referencing macros like ‘\vref’ from the ‘varioref’ package, ‘\fref’ from the ‘fancyref’ package or ‘\autoref’ from the ‘hyperref’ package as well as page-referencing macros like ‘\pageref’. See Reference Styles, for details.

Version 4.33

• Update to GPLv3.
• Parse files are created in a way that does not interfere with recentf mode.

Version 4.32

• First release by AUCTeX project.
• Installation routine rewritten after structure of source package changed.
• Activation of RefTeX changed, so make sure you read the installation instructions and remove obsolete cruft related to RefTeX from your init file.
• Fixed bug where point would end up in the wrong buffer when jumping between several LaTeX and phrases buffers.
• Fixed bug where BibTeX keys with hyphens were parsed incorrectly.
• Some performance improvements.
• The separator used between multiple citations in a \cite macro can now be changed by customizing the variable reftex-cite-key-separator.

Version 4.28

• Support for the Jurabib package.
• Improvements when selecting several items in a selection buffer.

Version 4.27

• Support for jurabib in `reftex-cite-format-builtin'.
• Bug fixes.

Version 4.26

• Support for global incremental search.
• Some improvements for XEmacs compatibility.

Version 4.25

• Fixed bug with ‘%F’ in a label prefix. Added new escapes ‘%m’ and ‘%M’ for mater file name and master directory.

Version 4.24

• Inserting citation commands now prompts for optional arguments when called with a prefix argument. Related new options are reftex-cite-prompt-optional-args and reftex-cite-cleanup-optional-args.
• New option reftex-trust-label-prefix. Configure this variable if you'd like RefTeX to base its classification of labels on prefixes. This can speed-up document parsing, but may in some cases reduce the quality of the context used by RefTeX to describe a label.
• Fixed bug in reftex-create-bibtex-file when reftex-comment-citations is non-nil.
• Fixed bugs in indexing: Case-sensitive search, quotes before and/or after words. Disabled indexing in comment lines.

Version 4.22

• New command reftex-create-bibtex-file to create a new database with all entries referenced in the current document.
• New keys e and E allow to produce a BibTeX database file from entries marked in a citation selection buffer.

Version 4.21

• Renaming labels from the toc buffer with key M-%.

Version 4.20

• Structure editing capabilities. The command keys < and > in the TOC buffer promote/demote the section at point or all sections in the current region.
• New option reftex-toc-split-windows-fraction to set the size of the window used by the TOC. This makes the old variable reftex-toc-split-windows-horizontally-fraction obsolete.
• A dedicated frame can show the TOC with the current section always automatically highlighted. The frame is created and deleted from the toc buffer with the d key.

Version 4.19

• New command `reftex-toc-recenter' (C-c -) which shows the current section in the TOC buffer without selecting the TOC window.
• Recentering happens automatically in idle time when the option reftex-auto-recenter-toc is turned on.
• Fixed several bugs related to automatic cursor positioning in the TOC buffer.
• The highlight in the TOC buffer stays when the focus moves to a different window.
• New command `reftex-goto-label'.
• Part numbers are no longer included in chapter numbers, and a new part does not reset the chapter counter. See new option reftex-part-resets-chapter.

Version 4.18

• reftex-citation uses the word before the cursor as a default search string.
• Simplified several regular expressions for speed.
• Better support for chapterbib. Different chapters can now use BibTeX or an explicit thebibliography environment.

Version 4.17

• The toc window can be split off horizontally. See new options reftex-toc-split-windows-horizontally, reftex-toc-split-windows-horizontally-fraction.
• It is possible to specify a function which verifies an index match during global indexing. See new option reftex-index-verify-function.
• The macros which input a file in LaTeX (like \input, \include) can be configured. See new option reftex-include-file-commands.
• The macros which specify the bibliography file (like \bibliography) can be configured. See new option reftex-bibliography-commands.
• The regular expression used to search for the \bibliography macro has been relaxed to allow for ‘{\bibliography{...}}’ needed by chapterbib.
• Small bug fixes.

Version 4.15

• Fixed bug with parsing of BibTeX files, when fields contain quotes or unmatched parenthesis.
• Small bug fixes.
• Improved interaction with Emacs LaTeX mode.

Version 4.14

• Ensure write access to all files before doing global label replace.
• Fixed bug which would parse ‘\partial’ as ‘\part’.

Version 4.12

• Support for ‘bibentry’ citation style.

Version 4.11

• Fixed bug which would parse ‘\Section’ just like ‘\section’.

Version 4.10

• Renamed ‘reftex-vcr.el’ to ‘reftex-dcr.el’ because of conflict with ‘reftex-vars.el’ on DOS machines.
• New options reftex-parse-file-extension and reftex-index-phrase-file-extension.
