- Still experimental and incomplete, with no lock support and not much error handling
Also:
- New expiry date for sync functions
- Attachment character set was being dropped during syncing
- 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
- Makes XMLHTTPRequest calls are now background requests (no auth windows or other prompts)
- Z.U.HTTP.doOptions() now takes an nsIURI instead of a URL spec
- New methods:
- Zotero.Utilities.rand(min, max)
- Zotero.Utilities.probability(x)
- Zotero.Utilities.Base64.encode(str) and decode(str)
- 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
The feature grabs relevant fragments from the document and then searches them on Google Scholar. This will only work with OCRed PDFs, so it doesn't work with JSTOR, but it should work fairly well with everything else.
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)
Adds a Python/py-appscript-based plug-in for Word 2008. To get this to work, you'll need to copy the Zotero directory (not its contents) to ~/Microsoft User Data/Word Script Menu Items and install py-appscript (sudo easy_install appscript)
Some caveats:
- Requires Word be installed at /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word 2008.app (this is fixable, but I'm still determining the best way to solve it)
- Still need to figure out what to do with items that have been deleted from the DB (right now, we just ignore them)
- Sometimes, Python.app launches with the script, which seems to slow execution time
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
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'.

I also removed "New Item" from the context menu, as it was the only option in the menu that wasn't specific to the selected item, it made the whole menu a lot more confusing, and it doesn't take all that much longer to click the (+) button and choose Book (assuming that's even the item you want).
Addresses #155, Localize strings
- Added "Search subfolders"
- Localized strings in search dialog
Known issue:
#342, "Search subfolders" checkbox should be greyed out until applicable
At least some scrapers (NYT and WashPo, for sure) should be updated to follow this pref
Addresses #327, Scrapers should either take snapshots or use URL field
