## 9 Changes

Here is a list of recent changes to RefTeX.

Version 4.28

- Support for the Jurabib package.
- Improvements when selecting several items in a selection buffer.

Version 4.26

- Support for global incremental search.
- Some improvements for XEmacs compatibility.

Version 4.25

- Fixed bug with ‘`%F`’ in a label prefix. Added new escapes ‘`%m`’ and ‘`%M`’ for mater file name and master directory.

Version 4.24

- Inserting citation commands now prompts for optional arguments when called with a prefix argument. Related new options are `reftex-cite-prompt-optional-args` and `reftex-cite-cleanup-optional-args`.
- New option `reftex-trust-label-prefix`. Configure this variable if you'd like RefTeX to base its classification of labels on prefixes. This can speed-up document parsing, but may in some cases reduce the quality of the context used by RefTeX to describe a label.
- Fixed bug in `reftex-create-bibtex-file` when `reftex-comment-citations` is non-nil.
- Fixed bugs in indexing: Case-sensitive search, quotes before and/or after words. Disabled indexing in comment lines.

Version 4.22

- New command `reftex-create-bibtex-file` to create a new database with all entries referenced in the current document.
- New keys `e` and `E` allow to produce a BibTeX database file from entries marked in a citation selection buffer.

Version 4.21

- Renaming labels from the toc buffer with key `M-%`.

Version 4.20

- Structure editing capabilities. The command keys `<` and `>` in the TOC buffer promote/demote the section at point or all sections in the current region.
- New option `reftex-toc-split-windows-fraction` to set the size of the window used by the TOC. This makes the old variable `reftex-toc-split-windows-horizontally-fraction` obsolete.
- A dedicated frame can show the TOC with the current section always automatically highlighted. The frame is created and deleted from the toc buffer with the `d` key.

Version 4.19

- New command `reftex-toc-recenter' (`C-c -`) which shows the current section in the TOC buffer without selecting the TOC window.
- Recentering happens automatically in idle time when the option `reftex-auto-recenter-toc` is turned on.
- Fixed several bugs related to automatic cursor positioning in the TOC buffer.
- The highlight in the TOC buffer stays when the focus moves to a different window.
- New command `reftex-goto-label'.
- Part numbers are no longer included in chapter numbers, and a new part does not reset the chapter counter. See new option `reftex-part-resets-chapter`.

Version 4.18

- `reftex-citation` uses the word before the cursor as a default search string.
- Simplified several regular expressions for speed.
- Better support for chapterbib.

Version 4.17

- The toc window can be split off horizontally. See new options `reftex-toc-split-windows-horizontally`, `reftex-toc-split-windows-horizontally-fraction`.
- It is possible to specify a function which verifies an index match during global indexing. See new option `reftex-index-verify-function`.
- The macros which input a file in LaTeX (like \input, \include) can be configured. See new option `reftex-include-file-commands`.
- The macros which specify the bibliography file (like \bibliography) can be configured. See new option `reftex-bibliography-commands`.
- The regular expression used to search for the \bibliography macro has been relaxed to allow for ‘`{\bibliography{...}}`’ needed by chapterbib.
- Small bug fixes.

Version 4.15

- Fixed bug with parsing of BibTeX files, when fields contain quotes or unmatched parenthesis.
- Small bug fixes.
- Improved interaction with Emacs LaTeX mode.

Version 4.12

- Support for `bibentry` citation style.

Version 4.11

- Fixed bug which would parse ‘`\Section`’ just like ‘`\section`’.

Version 4.10

- Renamed `reftex-vcr.el` to `reftex-dcr.el` because of conflict with `reftex-vars.el` on DOS machines.
- New options `reftex-parse-file-extension` and `reftex-index-phrase-file-extension`.
