[0.5.0] - 2021-03-17

Added

  • ORB PDF Scrapper export functionality was completely revisited. It can be
    now controlled by the user and allows for export of intermediate text and
    BibTeX data in addition to Org data. All the data can be exported into
    external files. There is also some preliminary key filtering when exporting
    BibTeX data to an existing bib file
  • Save progress in ORB PDF Scrapper buffers using C-x C-s and C-x C-w
  • orb-pdf-scrapper-group-references user option to control whether the
    references extracted by ORB PDF Scrapper should be sorted into different groups
  • ORB PDF Scrapper now supports different list styles including numbered lists
    for Org output, see orb-pdf-scrapper-list-style and
    orb-pdf-scrapper-reference-numbers for more details
  • orb-pdf-scrapper-prompt-to-generate-keys allows to suppress any (annoying)
    prompts asking to generate citation keys before proceeding to Org mode
  • New user option orb-abbreviate-file-name to force abbreviated file names
    retrieved by orb-process-file-field, thanks @emacsbliss
  • ORB now automatically selects a template for capture if its the only one on the list.
  • New issue and feature request templates for Github
  • A link where you can buy me a coffee :)

Special thanks to @j-steinbach for the ideas of how to improve ORB PDF Scrapper
and fruitful discussions on export, reference grouping and reference numbers!

Changed

  • orb-preformat-keywords now supports only a list of strings, although cons
    cell values are supported for backward compatibility, they do not work as
    they used to previously. orb-bibtex-field-aliases user option (former
    internal orb--virtual-fields-alist) now controls the mapping between BibTeX
    (virtual) fields and ORB keywords
  • README.md was split into a short README.md and a longer orb-manual.org
  • The main README file was revisited to clarify installation instructions
  • Error messages in several places were improved
  • Old variable names deprecated in v0.2 were removed
  • The following symbols were marked as deprecated:
old new
orb-insert-frontend orb-insert-interface
orb-note-actions-frontend orb-note-actions-interface
orb-pdf-scrapper-refsection-headings orb-pdf-scrapper-grouped-export
orb-pdf-scrapper-export-fields orb-pdf-scrapper-table-export-fields
  • File layout of org-roam-bibtex package: orb-note-actions.el was merged
    with org-roam-bibtex.el, ivy and helm-related functions were isolated
    into separate files
  • Updated copyright year to 2021
  • Other internal refactoring

Fixed

  • Buggy behaviour of orb-process-file-field, thanks @PhDyellow
  • Performance issue in ivy-bibtex and helm-bibtex caused by database
    queries in orb-find-note-file, thanks to @MichielCottaar for pointing this
    out. Thanks to @cdlm for fixing another bug in orb-find-note-file that was
    introduced when the previous bug was fixed
  • Buggy behaviour of orb-edit-notes in some case due to a typo, thanks
    @brabalan
  • Consistent formatting between Org headings in ORB PDF Scrapper export
  • Maintenance badge in the README, thankgs @cdlm
