- attachment notes box is now located at bottom, with linked items options above it
- notes no longer display the parent item title. I think this is a waste of space, but if someone wants it back, I can do that
- notes editor spans entire pane
- notes editor does not have gray borders on left or right
- metadata display in notes and attachments boxes is consistent with metadata display in item pane
- tweak twisty appearance on OS X (highlight-on-click is gone, but this seems preferable to the previous behavior)
- simplify chrome.manifest for standalone
- Make the add-on bar visible if the Zotero icon isn't set to hidden, which is an annoying way of dealing with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616419 not yet landing -- people who use an upper toolbar button and don't want the add-on bar to show will need to set the Zotero icon to hidden

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'
- "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()
- 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
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 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
