- Zotero.Utilities is now a singleton
- Zotero.Utilities.HTTP is now Zotero.HTTP
- Zotero.Utilities.md5 and Zotero.Utilities.Base64 are now located under Zotero.Utilities.Internal
- Zotero.Utilities.AutoComplete has been eliminated
This needs testing to make sure there is no associated breakage.

- Group file sync via Zotero File Storage
- Split file syncing into separate modules for ZFS and WebDAV
- Dragging items between libraries copies child notes, snapshots/files, and links based on checkboxes for each (enabled by default) in the Zotero preferences
- Sync errors now trigger an exclamation/error icon separate from the sync icon, with a popup window displaying the error and an option to report it
- Various errors that could cause perpetual sync icon spinning now stop the sync properly
- Zotero.Utilities.md5(str) is now md5(strOrFile, base64)
- doPost(), doHead(), and retrieveSource() now takes a headers parameter instead of requestContentType
- doHead() can now accept an nsIURI (with login credentials), is a background request, and isn't cached
- When library access or file writing access is denied during sync, display a warning and then reset local group to server version
- Perform additional steps (e.g., removing local groups) when switching sync users to prevent errors
- Compare hash as well as mod time when checking for modified local files
- Don't trigger notifications when removing groups from the client
- Clear relation links to items in removed groups
- Zotero.Item.attachmentHash property to get file MD5
- importFromFile() now takes libraryID as a third parameter
- Zotero.Attachments.getNumFiles() returns the number of files in the attachment directory
- Zotero.Attachments.copyAttachmentToLibrary() copies an attachment item, including files, to another library
- Removed Zotero.File.getFileHash() in favor of updated Zotero.Utilities.md5()
- Zotero.File.copyDirectory(dir, newDir) copies all files from dir into newDir
- Preferences shuffling: OpenURL to Advanced, import/export character set options to Export, "Include URLs of paper articles in references" to Styles
- Other stuff I don't remember
Suffice it to say, this could use testing.

- dropping Zotero items into a bucket puts them in that IA bucket
- double clicking a bucket takes you to that IA bucket
In order to enable Zotero Commons:
1) Get an access key and secret key at http://www.archive.org/account/s3.php
2) Go to about:config
3) Search "commons" (no quotes)
4) Set "extensions.zotero.commons.enabled" to true
5) Enter your S3 access key into "extensions.zotero.commons.accessKey"
6) Enter your S3 secret key into "extensions.zotero.commons.secretKey"
7) Enter your buckets into "extensions.zotero.commons.buckets" as a comma separated list

Developer-specific changes:

closes#831, transparent EZProxy support
adds a proxy pane to the preferences
asks before saving proxies to the DB (to avoid the potential phishing risk #831 would otherwise pose)
closes#704, EndNote to Zotero style converter (won't actually convert styles due to copyright concerns, but will load them into the DB)
also adds CSL style manager
- Inspired by Dan Chudnov's Python/MODS-based Zeroconf demo at THATcamp
- Enabled by extensions.zotero.zeroconf.enabled (off by default)
- Currently supports only OS X (tested on Leopard, not sure about earlier versions)
- Uses Apple's dns-sd and mDNS command-client clients, but should be able to be extended to other clients, though a native library would be far superior
- Discovery is on-demand for now via Actions menu ("Search for Shared Libraries")
- Includes rudimentary web server (code copied from integration.js) that serves items as sync XML -- no authentication yet!
- Only supports top-level items
- Remote libraries show up in left pane (under remote computer name, for now)
- Items can be dragged into collections (but not the library yet, for some reason)
- On first run, might cause a long pause and the "This file was downloaded from the Internet" message on Leopard -- can't manage to get around the quarantine for the script file that we need to access stdout from Firefox
- Needs a lot of work, and without a real JS (or otherwise Mozilla-native) Zeroconf library we can't do proper discovery without intermittent polling
- But it works, at least for me
Also includes some data/sync-layer changes that I needed along the way (and that we'll need for shared collections of any type)
Apologies for the massive (and, due to data_access.js splitting, difficult-to-follow) commit. Please note that external code that accesses the data layer may need to be tweaked for compatibility. Here's a comprehensive-as-possible changelog:
- Added server sync functionality (incomplete)
- Overhaul of data layer
- Split data_access.js into separate files (item.js, items.js, creator.js, etc.)
- Made creators and collections first-class objects, similar to items
- Constructors now take id as first parameter, e.g. new Zotero.Item(1234, 'book'), to allow explicit id setting and id changing
- Made various data layer operations (including attachment fields) require a save() rather than making direct DB changes
- Better handling of unsaved objects
- Item.setCreator() now takes creator objects instead of creator ids, and Item.save() will auto-save unsaved creators
- clone() now works on unsaved objects
- Newly created object instances are now disabled after save() to force refetch of globally accessible instance using Zotero.(Items|Creators|etc.).get()
- Added secondary lookup key to data objects
- Deprecated getID() and getItemType() methods in favor of .id and .itemTypeID properties
- toArray() deprecated in favor of serialize(), which has a somewhat modified format
- Added support for multiple creators with identical data -- currently unimplemented in interface and most of data layer
- Added Item.diff() for comparing item metadata
- Database changes
- Added SQLite triggers to enforce foreign key constraints
- Added Zotero.DB.transactionVacuum flag to run a VACUUM after a transaction
- Added Zotero.DB.transactionDate, .transactionDateTime, and transactionTimestamp to retrieve consistent timestamps for entire transaction
- Properly store 64-bit integers
- Set PRAGMA locking_mode=EXCLUSIVE on database
- Set SQLite page size to 4096 on new databases
- Set SQLite page cache to 8MB
- Do some database cleanup and integrity checking on migration from 1.0 branch
- Removed IF NOT EXISTS from userdata.sql CREATE statements -- userdata.sql is now processed only on DB initialization
- Removed itemNoteTitles table and moved titles into itemNotes
- Abstracted metadata edit box and note box into flexible XBL bindings with various modes, including read-only states
- Massive speed-up of item tree view
- Several fixes from 1.0 branch for Fx3 compatibility
- Added Notifier observer to log delete events for syncing
- Zotero.Utilities changes
- New methods getSQLDataType() and md5()
- Removed onError from Zotero.Utilities.HTTP.doGet()
- Don't display more than 1024 characters in doPost() debug output
- Don't display passwords in doPost() debug output
- Added Zotero.Notifier.untrigger() -- currently unused
- Added Zotero.reloadDataObjects() to reset all in-memory objects
- Added |chars| parameter to Zotero.randomString(len, chars)
- Added Zotero.Date.getUnixTimestamp() and Date.toUnixTimestamp(JSDate)
- Adjusted zotero-service.js to simplify file inclusion
Various things (such as tags) are temporarily broken.
