JabRef Version 5.0 alpha
Pre-releaseIt's finally here 🎉 🙌 ❤️. After over a year of work, we proudly present the first alpha version of JabRef 5.0.
Thanks to our annual developer meetup JabCon, we were able to finally push things forward and put together the first release.
The UI of JabRef is now entirely transformed to JavaFX. Apart from that, we could include a lot of new great features. Especially, due to our Google Summer of Code student @davidemdot, we have a new feature to display where your references are used inside your LaTeX files.
We are looking forward to your thoughts on the next major version of JabRef! Note that this release is an alpha version, which means that the respective features are by no means finalized. Parts of the interface will be reworked to improve the usability.
! IMPORTANT !: This release requires JAVA 11! For Windows it's already included in the installer. For Linux and mac you probably need to install it.
If you want to reward our efforts and support us, we greatly appreciate any donations that e.g. enable us to meet in person and make such great things happen. See https://donations.jabref.org for more info on how to foster our work.
