Dear colleague: This is to notify you that Librarian version 1.2 has been released. This version comes with several new features including renaming categories and journals, editing paper ratings, displaying MeSH suggestions for category creation, or abstract previews when hovering over Abstract links. Web form style of navigation was replaced by link tables, which are faster and better readable. Also, newly added articles are marked 'Today!' for easier identification. In addition, known bugs were addressed. These include failure to redirect to installation page with some versions of PHP, showing 1 instead 0 articles when shelf is empty, and inability to add first article into a shelf. Many users ask for including Volume and Page numbers as well as MeSH keywords in library tables. While this is possible in principle, it would involve alterations in existing database during upgrade. Therefore, such a version will require more testing before release. The above features may be added into Librarian in >2.0 series. The older versions of Librarian (1.1, 1.1a) can be upgraded using 'Upgrade' release without reinstallation. http://bioinformatics.org/librarian/downloads.php Sincerely, Martin Kucej Department of Biochemistry Comenius University Mlynska dolina CH-1 Bratislava 84215 Slovak Republic
