        * Handles Unicode characters. Entry can be either as tex, or as
          unicode. Handles searches with unicode, except for some chars, 
	  as \c{c}. This is 8-bit unicode. Maybe perl/tk can handle more,
	  and then more chars can be used. Old bref files will load
          correctly, and be displayed correctly. New bref files are stored
          with unicode in them.
Dec 21, 2000
        * New interface with emacs. Sixpack can insert citations into emacs
          using gnuclient. This can be invoked with alt-m.
Dec 19, 2000
        * Fixed a bug: when doing a query on medline from the history window,
	  the imported entries weren't marked.
Dec 16, 2000
        * Added a rudimentary possibility to do queries on PubMed. Works
          pretty well now. Added menu items to insert jornal names.
	* Made Author be a Text-entry field, and now Text-Entry fields have
          vairable hights.
Dec 15, 2000
        * Sped up (?) the file loading of bref files.
	* Add the option to put brackets {} arround capitalized words in
          titles, so that they are preserved in bibtex.
Dec 14, 2000
        * Part fix of the @STRING problem. (not that anyone cares...): If
	  a field consists only of letters and digits, it will be put into the
	  bibtex with no brackets, and thus if a field is just a 
	  @string reference, all will work well.
Dec 13, 2000
        * fixed a bug - when marking double CITEIDs, list didn't display 
	  correctly.
Dec 12, 2000
        * More documentation.
Dec 11, 2000
        * Sped things up abit in the display section. Now Sixpack's display
	  works much more as perl/tk intended it to. In the process, the '*'
	  that mark marked entries were deleted. Marked entries are blue.
	* removed a bug associated with opening databases.
	* Sped things up even more. Now only things that really need to call
          displaytitles. Others try to change things in the display directly.
	* Fixed the behaviour of open-new.
	* Made balloons on by default. Control with BALLOONHELP.
Dec 10, 2000
        * changed the lyx behaviour to work as described in the
          documentation. Then changed the documentation to describe the lyx
          behaviour. Now they match.
	* Added a vaiable HELPHANDLE in case the user wants to open different viewers
	  for help files and regular urls.
Dec 8, 2000
        * Documentation has finally been written! It is linked to from the
          help menu.
	* While working on the documentation a couple of bugs were fixed,
          new menus added, etc.
Dec 7, 2000
        * fixed a bug in the install file
	* the command grep is now configurable.
Dec 6, 2000
        * install script now more well behaved. No need to edit source any
          more. Thanks got to Min Xu.
	* created citeids can't contain spaces any more.
	* history is now saved
	* added recent opened files to the menu.
Dec 5, 2000
        * bp-medline handles now handles Jr and Sr better.
	* displayTitles isn't called so often to improve speed.
Nov 7, 2000
        * Bibtex files are now formated a bit nicer.
	* When opening a collection, the database window is opened.
Nov 6, 2000
	* The seperator between fields in the database is now \x000, instead
          of #. Old databases will still load correctly.
	* new option BIBWITHBREF will cause sixpack to save a bref database with
	  every bibtex database it saves. On the next load, if the bibtex file's
	  modification time isn't later than the sixpack database, the
          sixpack database will be loaded instead.
Nov 3, 2000
	* ?? fixed bug with opening new databse ??
Nov 2, 2000
	* It turned out that sixpack was actually handling the X11 resources
          databse - perl/Tk does. Now it handles it much better. A new file
          holds the defaults for colors and geometry, and these can be
          overridden from the command line, or from .Xdefaults, etc.
	* version is now 0.99(=0.0.6)
	* handled a bug in the old file dailog (which is now only used for
          import/export), when entering a full pathname into the filedialog,
          the file is returned as /diretory//fullpathname.
	* expanded the 'sys' command: if the line contains {}, then the part
          between the brakets is executed in perl. To make this usefull,
          added also the following routines:
	  historyFind("command",-2) - finds the last occurance of command in
            the history, and returns the one-before last argument to that
            command.
	  askOpenFile("title"),askSaveFile("title") - asks the user to enter
          a filename. (a lot of thanks for these two goes to James W. Haefner)
Nov 1, 2000
	* changed the file dialog, to the spiffier and hopefully faster 
	  getopenfile. 
	* removed some (not all) bugs with highliting selected entries.
	* added the option to mark entries that are used in an aux file. (aux
	  files are generated during latexing).
	* added a menu option to force save all open databases.
	* added balloon help for buttons. This can be turned on from the
          'help' menu.
	* entries in the configuration file can span several lines by adding \
	  at the end of the lines. 
Oct 18, 2000
        * The display and query menus have been split into two, so that they
          show up whole on the screen. The configuration parameter
          ENTRIESPERMENU controls how many entries should be on one menu,
          for those with bigger/smaller screens.
	* Added the option to add menu-entries to execute certain scripts.
          This is just being checked, and will be left in if people like the
          idea.
	* added a command 'sys' to execute an external command.
Oct 6, 2000
        * Went back to putting all bibtex entries into {}. Now @strings done't 
	  work correctly - but they probably never did.
Jul 01, 2000
        * Fixed a problem with newer perl, as in debian woody.
	* Added a new ISI converter, written by Bernhard Riecke. This is a new
	  bp module called bp-isi-bern
	* Added CITEIDs of the type Lachmann+:98 , using + instead of et al.
Apr 23, 2000
	* FINALLY!! bugfix: pressing alt-enter while editing a text field doesn't insert a return any
	  more. Tab now moves between fields.
	* FINALLY! The selection is now exported to other prorams.	
	* Added copy/cut/paste
	* selected entries are now white on blue.
	* bugfix: now handles trailing spaces in sixpack.rc better (Chris Kuklewicz <chrisk@mit.edu>)
	* bugfix/new bug: If a field contains only one word, no spaces, then
          saved into the bibtex file with no {} or "". This enables the use
          of @string. A bug remains, though. If you use things like
	  title = "Something really " # important
	  you'll have problems. In other words, the join fields hash (#)
          mark in bibtex will cause problems
	* bugfix: the command "import bibtex file" wasn't handled consistently.
	* bugfix: handles ^M at end of lines, and another bugfux by Chris Kuklewicz
Apr 20, 2000
	* added ability for the user to decide which fields should be displayed 
	  in the line-view. This is controlled be the DISPLAYLINE variable.
	* changed colors a bit, so other fields are more readable.
	* now inserts citations into LyX! (Chris Kuklewicz <chrisk@mit.edu>) 
	  use tellyx from the command line, or alt-l, or Tell Lyx from the edit menu.
	* mouse-2 selects, mouse-3 is free again (poor 2-button people....(like me))
	* Layout changed a bit.
	* long text can now contain linebreak - to format into paragraphs.
	* One can now both import and export into the X selection, though
	  for now, it doesn't seem that other applications are aware of 
	  text that we export.
Apr 7, 2000
	* bugfix. Now a '%' on a line does not prevent the whole 
	  bibtex entry from being read.
Apr 5, 2000
	* Added the field 'edition' to book and inbook.
	* Some bugfixes.
Mar 28, 2000
	* removed dependence of most external commands. left is only wget.
	  to remove dependence of xterm, and new dialog is opened.
Mar 25, 2000
	* bib-remote can now execute any command-line command.
Mar 24, 2000
	* bp-medline now handles html better. It seems that PNAS changed
	  the format slightly. Works again.
	* An external program can now signal sixpack to import a file. 
	  The program is called bib-remote. With this, your web browser
	  can be told to directly import citations into an open database.
	* bp-endnote now handles urls in the note or annote fields (O or U).
	  also, a bug with handling the '@' field was removed. I don't know
	  what this field means, though.
Mar 13, 2000
	* bugfixes
	* editors will be used instead of authors, if no authors exist.
Mar 9, 2000
	* The user can now specify what the generated CITEIDs should look like.
	  (see documentation in sixpack.rc or README)
Mar 8, 2000
	* strings are now displayed in the list.
	* bugfixes to the bp-bibtex module.
	* strings can be entered as new elements (type string).
	* more bugfixes with bibtex output.
	* Added an option to sort the bibtex file when saving, so that
	  strings are first, in the order in which they contain each
	  other. Cross refernces always appear before the entry they
	  cross-refernece.
Mar 7, 2000
	* changed the icons a bit, and added spacing between them.
	* searches will now work even if a word is {C}apitalized.
	* MAJOR BUG: tiny bug that caused author not to be exported.
Mar 6, 2000
	* added automatic scanning of bp input and output modules
	  now these are on sub-menus (because there could be many).
	* with this feature, sixpack installation can now optionally
	  install some additional modules, so we have:
	* bp module: inspecWeb to import from what inspec gives now on the
	  web
	* bp module: medline now understands the URLF field
	* bp module: bibtex now handles '{}' delimted strings. Even when
	  multi-line. 
	* Now handles strings and cross references (slightly) better. 
	  You can ask to convert strings/cross references, or
	  leave them as they are.
Mar 5, 2000
	* saved bibtex files look quite nice now.
	* bugfixes...
	* Added dialogs for close/exit when a database was modified.
	* fixed to handle bug in bp - it prints "setting options to html"
Mar 4, 2000
	Version 0.99(=0.0.3)
	* major change: many databases can be opened at once. sixpack 
	  remembers where each entry came from, and can put them back
	  to their right place. It keeps also track of the 'current database', 
	  which is the latest opened one, unless the user choses another one.
	  It also keeps track of exactly which databases have been modified, 
	  and won't close them, unless forced.
	* bibtex is now much more native to sixpack. An open database can be 
	  either bibtex or sixtex.
	* sixpack can now source scripts.
	* the currently opened databases can be remembered by writing the
	  script that opens them to file.
	* There is a new 'databases' window, to show which databases are
	  loaded, and to chose the current one.
	* Window placement now tries to be smart. It works on my screen....

Mar 3, 2000
	* sort now uses the perl sort.
	* when sorting by author, sort is done by last name of first author.
	* Added 3 new fields: Annote, file, url. The database format also
	  changed. But, from now on adding a field to the database format 
	  will not make the old format incompatible with the new one.
	* nested {} in bibtex files are now parsed correctly
	* with the new fields file and url, the value for opening an external
	  viewer is taken from these fields, and not from misc.
	* the pick bibtype dialog is now keyboard-friendly.
	* added an option to tell the import that data is raw html.
	* added an option to import from selection buffer.

Mar 1, 2000
	Version 0.99(=0.0.2)
	* enabled/added sorting. 
	  (sorry, for now still the original bubble sort)
	* loads of bug-fixes.
	* tried to make the interface more consistent, keys work everywhere
 	  tab and shift-tab kind of moves in a sequential order. 
	  (ctrl-tab and shift-tab works even better)
	* Tried to have all commands available from both gui and command line
	  interface.
	* Generates CITEIDs from author+year, and looks for double CITEIDs.
	* Added view file/url: if an entry contains 
	  file=filename.ext
	  or
	  url=http://somewhere
	  then one can automatically open the article in an external viewer.
	* Added the command 'mark' to store the current marks in the mark
	  history. Finally sixpack is computationally complete!
	* Added importing directly from url. The import file-dialog will
	  now accept both filename and url.
	* Added a modified flag, so that quitting by mistake isn't that
	  easy.
	* Added 'save'/'save as' feature
	* Imported items are automatically selected.
	* made a new install script, should work anywhere. 
	  (well, almost. It does work in debian/linux and solaris)
	* Added external configuration file ~/.sixpack.rc and /etc/sixpack.rc
