Changes

Here is a list of recent changes to RefTeX.

Version 4.33

• Update to GPLv3.
• Parse files are created in a way that does not interfere with recentf mode.

Version 4.32

• First release by AUCTeX project.
• Installation routine rewritten after structure of source package changed.
• Activation of RefTeX changed, so make sure you read the installation instructions and remove obsolete cruft related to RefTeX from your init file.
• Fixed bug where point would end up in the wrong buffer when jumping between several LaTeX and phrases buffers.
• Fixed bug where BibTeX keys with hyphens were parsed incorrectly.
• Some performance improvements.
• The separator used between multiple citations in a \cite macro can now be changed by customizing the variable reftex-cite-key-separator.

Version 4.28

• Support for the Jurabib package.
• Improvements when selecting several items in a selection buffer.

Version 4.26

• Support for global incremental search.
• Some improvements for XEmacs compatibility.

Version 4.25

• Fixed bug with ‘%F’ in a label prefix. Added new escapes ‘%m’ and ‘%M’ for master file name and master directory.

Version 4.24

• Inserting citation commands now prompts for optional arguments when called with a prefix argument. Related new options are reftex-cite-prompt-optional-args and reftex-cite-cleanup-optional-args.
• New option reftex-trust-label-prefix. Configure this variable if you’d like RefTeX to base its classification of labels on prefixes. This can speed-up document parsing, but may in some cases reduce the quality of the context used by RefTeX to describe a label.
• Fixed bug in reftex-create-bibtex-file when reftex-comment-citations is non-nil.
• Fixed bugs in indexing: Case-sensitive search, quotes before and/or after words. Disabled indexing in comment lines.

Version 4.22

• New command reftex-create-bibtex-file to create a new database with all entries referenced in the current document.
• New keys e and E allow you to produce a BibTeX database file from entries marked in a citation selection buffer.

Version 4.21

• Renaming labels from the toc buffer with key M-%.

Version 4.20

• Structure editing capabilities. The command keys < and > in the TOC buffer promote/demote the section at point or all sections in the current region.
• New option reftex-toc-split-windows-fraction to set the size of the window used by the TOC. This makes the old variable reftex-toc-split-windows-horizontally-fraction obsolete.
• A dedicated frame can show the TOC with the current section always automatically highlighted. The frame is created and deleted from the toc buffer with the d key.

Version 4.19

• New command reftex-toc-recenter (C-c -) which shows the current section in the TOC buffer without selecting the TOC window.
• Recentering happens automatically in idle time when the option reftex-auto-recenter-toc is turned on.
• Fixed several bugs related to automatic cursor positioning in the TOC buffer.
• The highlight in the TOC buffer stays when the focus moves to a different window.
• New command reftex-goto-label.
• Part numbers are no longer included in chapter numbers, and a new part does not reset the chapter counter. See new option reftex-part-resets-chapter.

Version 4.18

• reftex-citation uses the word before the cursor as a default search string.
• Simplified several regular expressions for speed.
• Better support for chapterbib.

Version 4.17

• The toc window can be split off horizontally. See new options reftex-toc-split-windows-horizontally, reftex-toc-split-windows-horizontally-fraction.
• It is possible to specify a function which verifies an index match during global indexing. See new option reftex-index-verify-function.
• The macros which input a file in LaTeX (like \input, \include) can be configured. See new option reftex-include-file-commands.
• The macros which specify the bibliography file (like \bibliography) can be configured. See new option reftex-bibliography-commands.
• The regular expression used to search for the \bibliography macro has been relaxed to allow for ‘{\bibliography{...}}’ needed by chapterbib.
• Small bug fixes.

Version 4.15

• Fixed bug with parsing of BibTeX files, when fields contain quotes or unmatched parenthesis.
• Small bug fixes.
• Improved interaction with Emacs LaTeX mode.

Version 4.12

• Support for bibentry citation style.

Version 4.11

• Fixed bug which would parse ‘\Section’ just like ‘\section’.

Version 4.10

• Renamed reftex-vcr.el to reftex-dcr.el because of conflict with reftex-vars.el on DOS machines.
• New options reftex-parse-file-extension and reftex-index-phrase-file-extension.
