Bugs Fixed:

Zotero RDF import issues
- Imports containing missing attachment files no longer fail; missing items create placeholder attachments with proper metadata
- Workaround added for a bug in Mozilla's RDF engine, which produces invalid XML under certain circumstances; any old invalid RDF/XML documents still won't import
Style/word processor integration fixes
- Multiple item citation add/remove bug
- CSL et al issues
- APA style issues
  - Fixed formatting of editors and websites
  - Hanging indent missing in Word
- Bibliography items never dropped out

RIS import could create unlinked webpage items outside of parent
Drag-and-drop issues
- Intra-Zotero drag and drop failed if attachment file is missing (Windows)

- Dropping a regular item and a note/attachment item onto another item would throw an error (drop onto an item is now disallowed if any regular items in the drag)
Zotero could save text/html pages with .pdf extensions as PDFs, resulting in what appeared to be corrupted PDF files
- Now inspects supposed PDFs after download and deletes if not actually PDF format
Updated translators wouldn't take effect until restart
Indexed state would incorrectly display as “Unindexed” instead of “Unavailable” under certain conditions
Recursive saved search referencing a deleted collection could not be deleted
Date could appear twice in RIS and other output formats
“is less than” and “is greater than” operators on Pages condition in Advanced Search would return incorrect or no results
Adding item to last-used collection wouldn't work until Zotero pane had been opened

Creating a hidden browser (e.g. during saving) could cause a persistent wait cursor
Quicksearch would be lost after dragging item to collection

Developer-specific changes:

CSL
- Brought Zotero up to date with latest CSL revisions
- Fixed an error when using position=“substitute”
- Fixed height of style selection drop-down in csledit.xul on Windows
Moved Zotero.Utilities.cleanString() functionality to ZU.trimInternal() and created a regular trim() too that doesn't consolidate internal whitespace – cleanString() is now deprecated
Removed Zotero.getAll(), replaced with Zotero.Collection.getChildItems() and a new onlyTopLevel flag to Zotero.Items.getAll()
Removed unused Zotero.getAttachments()
dateAdded was null in toArray() before getField() was called
Updated data access Notifier trigger() calls to better pass pre-change data
- Data is now put into an object keyed by itemID containing sub-objects with an 'old' property containing the pre-change toArray() array
Zotero.Item.prototype.id and Zotero.Collection.prototype.id can now be used instead of getID()
Display translation failure if no items scraped during asynchronous translation; can be overridden by calling Zotero.done(true)
Item.getAttachmentMimeType() → getAttachmentMIMEType()
Added a couple things to help with right-to-left language support
- Zotero.dir property containing 'ltr' or 'rtl'
- Zotero.localeJoin(arr, separator=' ') to join an array into a string in the proper locale order
importFromDocument() no longer returns an itemID, since it can be partly asynchronous now
Made linkFromURL() always return the attachment itemID, performing a HEAD request asynchronously to get the MIME type if necessary

Changes in 1.0.0rc3 (August 23, 2007)

Functionality changed or added:

Added hidden pref browserContentContextMenu to disable Zotero menu items in the browser content area context menu

- Imports are dramatically faster
  - Imports now take place in a single operation, so if there is a failure, no items will be imported
