JabRef Version 2.11

We are glad to announce the release of JabRef 2.11. There was a long discussion whether we should release 2.11 or whether we should drop that release completely and focus on the next major release of JabRef. Since JabRef 2.11 is the last version with Java6 and plugin support, we decided to push the release to offer others to take over maintenance if desired.

The integration of plugin functionality into JabRef is tracked at #152. Feel free to comment there.

It is planned to release JabRef 3.0 at the end of this year, so please regard JabRef 2.11 as bugfix release for JabRef 2.10.

If you are going to try this version, please save your preferences: Options -> Preferences -> Export preferences.
If JabRef does not start, you can send us your preferences and we can investigate that issue. In case you are not relying on your preferences, you can reset them by starting JabRef with java -jar JabRef-2.11.jar --prdef all -n. Issues reported and resolved by resetting the preferences: #149, #174, and #282.

MAC OS X: To run JabRef 2.11 at Mac OS X, you have to download the jar file and double click that.
With JabRef 3.0, we will produce a real Mac OS X application again.
