- "Add" button in Notes tab now uses inline notes editor by default instead of new window -- Shift toggles
- Fix overflow of tab panels in right column
- Fix error clicking on parent item title in unsaved new note window
- If a child item is in conflict, always keep parent item if one side has one regardless of which side is chosen
- On cancelling sync from CR window, don't continue with file sync
- Clarify "Background sync resulted in conflict" message
- Display the error icon rather than the warning icon on errors (though some file sync problems should be changed to warnings instead)
- 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()

- 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
Note: Steps 4-7 take effect in new windows
- Remove reference to Word from incompatible version message, which is also used with OpenOffice
- Add lines to Doc Prefs window to clarify the necessary file format (though enforcing this at save time would be best)
- File import now uses a translucent overlay over Zotero pane with a progress meter that doesn't hang
- New method Zotero.wait(timeout) to allow synchronous code to wait for events on main thread to be processed until timeout is reached
- Wait status can be tested with Zotero.waiting property
- Zotero.showZoteroPaneProgressBar(msg, determinate) locks Zotero and creates overlay with progress meter
- Code that might trigger via timers or external UI should check Zotero.lock
Lock checks so far:
- Translator save icon and RIS/Refer import display error if triggered while locked
- Browser content context menu options are now in a Zotero submenu and are disabled when Zotero is locked
- Sync, repository, and DB backup timers check for lock and bail
- If a new window is opened, Zotero pane can't be opened and display an error message until lock is released
Probably need to check lock in word processor integration code and advanced search window
Also:
- New method Zotero.sleep(ms) (currently unused) to allow synchronous code to sleep and allow events on main thread to be processed
- Use grippy for collapsing tag selector and remove toolbar icon
- Remove redundant Attachments and Notes tabs in metadata pane
- Add all four child attachment options to submenu of item context menu
- Connect tabs to pane
- Allow switching between metadata pane tabs using standard Firefox shortcuts (Ctrl-Tab, Ctrl-Shift-Tab)
- Fixed squished look in Firefox 3.5
- Remove some unnecessary padding, providing a little bit more room in the metadata pane
Needs a little testing

(Smith, 2006)
The database is scanned for each citation, and positioning is adjusted automatically for footnotes. Currently, this won't work with names with accents, but I'll get to that.
- fixes NCBI PubMed translator type (should be 12, since it's a search translator as well as a web translator)
- fixes a bug passing multiple translators to translate.setTranslator()
- increases priority of CrossRef translator
- makes sync animated arrow progress indicator into a general CSS class (zotero-small-progress-indicator) so that the same progress indicator can be used for lookup. if this is confusing, we could use something else instead.
When an item has a URL, turn Locate button into a menu and allow lookup via Wayback Machine
Support for additional user-configurable providers is forthcoming
- Still experimental, but committing for testing
- Sync conflicts with deleted items aren't yet supported
Unrelated: deprecated ZoteroPane.deleteSelectedItem() in favor of more accurately named deleteSelectedItems()
- Fixes file syncing after editing a file locally
- Fixes a few storage bugs that could result in eternal spinning, invalid percentages, and other unpleasantries
- Made the attachment display box more flexible, including a filename field that we may or may not want to keep in the main view

- Still experimental and incomplete, with no lock support and not much error handling
Also:

- Possibly improves sizing issues with preferences window
- Fixes problems with attachment filenames with extended characters
- Fixes some problem with tags that I don't remember

- Zotero.getTempDirectory()
- Zotero.Date.dateToISO(date) - convert JS Date object to ISO 8601 UTC date/time
- Zotero.Date.isoToDate(isoDate) - convert an ISO 8601 UTC date/time to a JS Date object
changes default behavior. transparent redirection is now enabled by default, and a caution dialog appears when proxies are first accessed. when transparent redirection is turned off, no dialog appears, and proxies get saved automatically. when the user switches transparent redirection on, there is a warning that s/he should check that there are only trusted proxies in the list. i'm not sure how well i've worded the messages, so feel free to suggest better alternatives.
also, a bit of jsdoc cleanup on proxy.js
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

- 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

Various things (such as tags) are temporarily broken.
Closes#285, Hitting Esc should close tags popup
Fixes various UI issues and problems adding tags on Minefield
Still getting autocomplete self-destruction
This is a bit uglier, and the large markers are kinda annoying once you know the drop-down is there, but perhaps this will stop the forum posts. Please let them stop.
If anyone's out there, now would be the time to test this.
Missing icons for the new types -- I could try to get some of those now, or we could just launch. Maybe we'll just launch. But really, might want to test this. Just sayin'.
Changed creator type <label> to <toolbarbutton> -- hopefully won't have any ill effects with other platforms' default themes (I haven't checked)
Moved some metadata pane CSS from overlay.css to zotero.css
