Upgrades from 5.x or RC2 and later are directly supported without any intermediate updates.

New features...

6.x-1.6
  1. Added configurable "type" mapping #528930
  2. EndNote XML files are now formated in the latest XML format by default, good for versions 8 and newer of EndNote.
  3. Added new setting in the OpenURL section to set the Site ID (sid) of the OpenURL link
6.x-1.5
  1. Added Views handlers for sorting, filtering and arguments on most fields.
  2. Added new settings in the ISI Web of Knowledge section on the admin/settings/biblio page. Turning this on automatically converts EndNote "Go to ISI" links to valid ISI search links. (ISI subscription required)
  3. Added new settings in the links section on the admin/settings/biblio page. You choose to carry "inline" mode through to all subsequent links. Inline mode is used primarily by people accessing biblio data from custom code, so the average user will not need this.
  4. Added new settings in the links section on the admin/settings/biblio page. You can now toggle the export links on/off individually as well as the Google Scholar link
  5. Added links from each entry to Google Scholar. Following the link does a Google Scholar search using the title and first authors name.
  6. Added a new feature (and setting to turn it on/off) which will allow you to retain BibTex protected capitalization braces in title strings, they will be stripped out on display, but will still be in place when exported in BibTex format.
  7. Added a new permission called "access biblio content" which will allow you to restrict access to any of the biblio pages (biblio, biblio/authors, biblio/keywords etc.) A user MUST have this permission to see anything from the biblio module!
  8. Added a section to the user profile page to allow entry of CrossRef login information used for DOI lookup
  9. Added a new option when selecting taxonomy terms from a vocabulary, you can now choose to copy them to the biblio keyword database or not. There is a check box on the input and import forms and there is also a new check box in the "Keywords" section of the admin/settings page which sets the default for this option.
  10. Added a setting in the links section to toggle the hyperlinks on the author names.
6.x-1.4
  1. No new features, 1.4 was released to address a major bug which crashed the code when saving a new entry containing keywords.
6.x-1.3
  1. Added "DOI Lookup" option on the input form. Entering a valid DOI name (number) here will query crossref.org and poplulate the input form with all the data it gets. You are then presented with the populated form to make further additions/changes prior to saving it to the database.
  2. Added "BibTex cut and paste" option to the input form. Pasting a valid bibTex string into the box will populate the input form with the data and similar to the DOI lookup above, allows you to preview and make changes prior to saving it in the database.
  3. Added a new user permission called "edit biblio authors" which allows the user to edit biblio author information but not other biblio settings, unlike "administer biblio" which gives them the right to edit all biblio settings.
  4. Changed "Views" integration such that Blblio is no longer a "Base" type of view. You should now use the "Node" view type to create a view containing biblio information.
  5. Added an option to toggle sort links between text and tab type display.
  6. Changed Keyword/Taxonomy freetag handling... The Taxonomy freetag input box is no longer displayed on the input form. All keywords/taxonomy freetags should be entered into the biblio Keywords input box and (if required) the taxonomy freetags will be updated when the keywords are saved. This keeps the keywords and freetags in sync and avoids the confustion of having two input boxes (one for keywords and one for freetags).
6.x-1.2
  1. Added option to automatically delete authors "orphaned" by the update or deletion of an entry
  2. User selectable bibliographic styles, authorized users can choose a style other than the system default on their "edit user" page
  3. Author "Link" allows 2 or more authors to be linked together (intended to deal with name changes due to marriage, but could be used for other purposes)
6.x-1.1
  1. MARC format file import
  2. New bibliographic output sytles (AMA, Chicago, MLA, Vancouver)
  3. Authors page (biblio/authors) which displays all authors in the database linked to publication lists filtered by that author. ("edit" links are provided for privileged users)
  4. Author edit/merge form (merge allows you to merge all instances of the same author which have been entered slightly differently. i.e. Smith, J and John Smith are the same person so you merge the two entries into one.)
  5. Orphaned author page(admin/settings/biblio/author/orphans), allows you to remove authors who are not associated with any publications from the database
  6. Keywords page (biblio/keywords) which displays all keywords in the database linked to publication list filtered by that keyword. ("edit" links are provided for privileged users)
  7. Orphaned keyword page (admin/settings/biblio/keyword/orphans) allows you to find and remove orphaned keywords (keywords which are no longer associated with any publications)
  8. added 'tabledrag' to admin/settings/biblio/defaults and admin/settings/biblio/types/edit/xxx which allows you to change the order of the fields on the input form by just dragging them to the desired location
  9. input your own PHP code to generate cite keys
