TODO: limit to large syncs?
This needs a lot of testing.
Also:
- Tweak pumpGenerator() wait level behavior to match Zotero.wait()
- If Zotero is closed in the top-most window, show a popup instead of the pane-covering progress meter, and take an optional icon in Zotero.showZoteroPaneProgressMeter() for use in the popup
- Restore protection against opening Zotero pane when Zotero.locked is set
- Display a nicer error if Zotero.DB.commitTransaction() is called without an active transaction
- Allow text with icons to extend to multiple lines in progressWindow popup
- Automatically use current window if one isn't specified in Zotero.repaint()
yield true;
in place of Zotero.wait() to allow UI events to be processed without exiting the function, thus avoiding the hassle of setting up a large number of callbacks.
This is still painful compared to Zotero.wait(), since the yield has to be present in the generator passed to Zotero.pumpGenerator() and not a child function. However, it's less painful than using a bunch of nested setTimeout() calls.
- Add Zotero.repaint(window), which forces a UI repaint but doesn't execute any other events. We should use this within transactions to eliminate the nondeterminism of Zotero.wait().
Also:
- Update trash icon properly when adding items to trash or emptying trash
- (dev) Zotero.Items.getDeleted() and Zotero.Items.emptyTrash() parameter order changed
- (dev) Zotero.Items.getDeleted() now returns an empty array rather than FALSE on no results
Group trash does not yet auto-empty
- Closes#1831, Connectors should be able to save via API in the absence of Zotero Standalone
- Fixes Zotero.Utilities.deepCopy() for arrays
- Fixes some circumstances where an error would not be saved for future error reporting
- Fixes connector status checking
- Implement connector for Firefox (should switch in/out of connector mode automatically when Standalone is launched or closed, although this has only been tested extensively on OS X)
- Share core translation code between Zotero and connectors
Still to be done:
- Run translators in non-Fx connectors (this works in theory, but it's not currently enabled for any translators)
- Show translation results in non-Fx connectors
- Ability to translate to server when Zotero Standalone is not running
- Reenable WebDAV orphaned file purging (currently once every ten days)
Also:
- Create pref of appropriate type automatically in Zotero.Prefs.set() if one doesn't exist
- Fix "myxml.localName() is null" when using dates on non-base locales
Thanks to Frank for dealing with my pestering regarding locale behavior.
From citeproc-js 1.0.78:
Enable the proper parsing and rendering of seasons in ranged dates, in
the internal dates parser.
From citeproc-js 1.0.79:
Correct fault in locale fallback behavior. Had been ignoring optional
default argument set in the processor.
From citeproc-js 1.0.80:
More fixes to locale selection behavior.
Provide a toggle to override the locale of a style with the locale set
on the processor at runtime.
From citeproc-js 1.0.81:
Yet more fixes to locale selection logic. Now uses en-US as ultimate
fallback, for any missing terms or missing locales.
- Translators now use configOptions and displayOptions properties in their metadata instead of Zotero.configure() and Zotero.addOption() to specify interfaces.
- Replaced now broken Zotero.Utilities.inArray() appearances in MODS.js with proper indexOf() calls
- 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.
- Reload bucket on bucket click if not loaded in the last 60 seconds
- Add "Show Original" button to Commons metadata pane to switch back to original linked item, if it exists
- Hide metadata pane tabs in Commons view
- Add support for setting credentials via zotero.org (untested, and not yet stored in Fx login manager)
Also:
- Add ZoteroPane.getItemGroup() function
- switch Zotero.JSON to native Firefox JSON support
- update to citeproc-js 1.0.21
From Frank's announcement:
In this release:
- Tighten up internal "NUMERIC" update_mode to mean styles that render
citation-number in citations (renderings in the bibliography are now
ignored for purposes of setting this flag).
- The numeric styles fix introduced at version 1.0.17 broke with
styles that sort the bibliography on anything other than citation-
number (i.e. document first-reference order). With this release,
arbitrary sorts of the bibliography work with numeric styles.
- Position evaluation code is now invoked only in styles that make use
of position testing (to save a few cycles).
- Numeric styles now perform targetted citation updates correctly.

- Store one item per IA bucket, with attachments stored as objects
- Use proper mediatype field based on Zotero item type
- Commons list is now pulled dynamically based on RDF stored at IA, without need for corresponding local item (which may have been deleted, etc.)
- Once available, OCRed PDFs can be pulled down by right-clicking on Commons and selecting Refresh
- Downloaded OCRed PDFs are now named the same as the existing attachment, with "(OCR)" appended
- The relations table is used to link downloaded OCRed PDFs to the IA file, so the downloaded file can be renamed without triggering another download
- The Commons view is marked for automatic refresh after an item is uploaded
- Added some progress notifications, though more are probably needed
- Other things
Also:
- Added Zotero.File.getBinaryContents(file)
- Erase an item's relations when the item is deleted, and purge orphaned ones
- Zotero.URI.eraseByPathPrefix(prefix) no longer prepends 'http://zotero.org' (which has been moved to Zotero.URI.defaultPrefix)
- New function Zotero.URI.eraseByURI(prefix)
Known Issues:
- Slow (some IA changes should be able to speed it up)
- Identifier format is likely temporary
- Sometimes it stops during setTimeout() calls for no apparent reason whatsoever
- Didn't test items with multiple attachments
- Not sure if Commons view will auto-refresh if you switch to it before the upload is done
- IA translator not yet updated
- Deleting items not supported by IA
- Date Added/Date Modified don't show up properly in Zotero for Commons items
Also:
- Beginnings of custom item type/field support, though not intended for external use yet
- Zotero.Date.strToDate() now parses 'yesterday'/'today'/'tomorrow' and localized equivalents, allowing those strings to be used in fields such as 'Accessed'
- Cleaner display of dates without times in 'Accessed' field
- Item type menus in metadata pane, New drop-down, and advanced search window now sort by localized string
New methods:
- Zotero.CreatorTypes.itemTypeHasCreators(itemTypeID)
- Saved searches on item type should now use 'itemType' condition rather than 'itemTypeID'
- 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.
- 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
- Support for group libraries
- General support for multiple libraries of different types
- Streamlined sync support
- Using solely libraryID and key rather than itemID, and removed all itemID-changing code
- Combined two requests for increased performance and decreased server load

- Disabled zeroconf menu option (no longer functional)
Developer-specific changes:
- Overhauled data layer
- Data object constructors no longer take arguments (return to 1.0-like API)
- Existing objects can be retrieved by setting id or library/key properties
- id/library/key must be set for new objects before other fields
- New methods:
- ZoteroPane.getSelectedLibraryID()
- ZoteroPane.getSelectedGroup(asID)
- ZoteroPane.addItemFromDocument(doc, itemType, saveSnapshot)
- ZoteroPane.addItemFromURL(url, itemType)
- ZoteroPane.canEdit()
- Zotero.CollectionTreeView.selectLibrary(libraryID)
