[CTAN Announcements]

Gerd Neugebauer submitted an update to the

                BibTool

package.

Version:  2.68

Summary description:  A tool for manipulating BibTeX files

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 - Handling of extracting by aux file improved.

 - Record extended by attribute lineno.
   This attribute carries the line number of the initiating \@.

 - The format of the error messages has been slightly streamlined.
   Double spaces are avoided; two colons in one message are avoided.

 - The format of the messages of `check_rule` include file and line
   number.

 - Warning for double fields added.

 - The empty output file is used to signal that the output should be
   suppressed.

 - The resources `check.warning.rule` and `check.error.rule`
   have been introduced to allow semantic checks to be classified as
   warning or error.

 - The behaviour of the resource `check.double` has been
   generalized. The requirement of double entries to be adjacent
   has been dropped. This has the impact that the processing is
   slightly slower.

 - New resource file `unique.field` intruduced. With this
   resource it is possible to specify additional unique constraints
   for fields. If different records have the same value for one of
   those fields then a warning is issued.

 - Static library renamed from libbib.a to libbibtool.a.
