CTAN update: bib2gls

[CTAN Announcements]

Nicola Talbot submitted an update to the

                bib2gls

package.

Version number: 1.8 2018-11-30
License type: gpl3+

Summary description: Command line application to convert .bib files to glossaries-extra.sty resource files

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

- new resource options:

       --save-primary-locations
       --primary-location-formats
       --long-case-change
       --dual-long-case-change
       --word-boundaries
       --sort-label-list
       --dependency-fields

  - added support for the new glossaries-extra package option
    record=nameref (introduced to glossaries-extra v1.37).

  - normal locations are now written to the location field as
    \glsnoidxdisplayloc{<prefix>}{<counter>}{<format>}{<location>}
    instead of explicitly using
    \setentrycounter[<prefix>]{<counter>}\<format>{<location>}
    This matches the way the record is added to the loclist field
    and makes it easier to adjust the record formatting.

  - bib2gls now always parses the .log file even if the interpreter
    setting is off. (It still needs to know version details and
    whether hyperlinks and Unicode are supported by the document.)

  - Underscores now allowed in bib labels.

  - Hooks added to pick up label prefixes if needed:

     \bibglsprimaryprefixlabel
     \bibglsdualprefixlabel
     \bibglstertiaryprefixlabel
     \bibglsexternalprefixlabel

  - bug fix: corrected default sort=doc

  - bug fix: corrected letternumber-upperlower and
    letternumber-lowerupper sort methods.

  - bug fix: corrected invalid datetime pattern that threw
    InvalidArgumentException

  - bug fix: https://github.com/nlct/bib2gls/issues/3
    Files located in local texmf path are not determined correctly
    on Windows.
    (actual bug was in texparserlib.jar rather than bib2gls.jar)

  - \@glsnavhypertarget will now fallback on original definition
    (which requires an extra LaTeX call) if the type is unknown.

  - Renamed example file sample-languages.tex to
    sample-markuplanguages.tex
