After making a selection, if you want to search for an additional citation by number, press the spacebar first, which will lock the previously entered selection and prevent a number alone from turning into a page number. Clicking on a bubble and entering a page number in the popup also locks the citation. * If you add an additional citation in the same dialog and it's sorted earlier in the list, typing a page number will now properly apply to that citation rather than to the right-most citation. * You can move between citations with the left/right arrow keys and use "p123" (the "p" is required in this case) to add or overwrite the locator for the citation to the left of the cursor. * Fixed cursor positioning around citation bubbles (since 5.0.78) * Added Norwegian Bokmål locale ===== Changes in 5.0.81 (January 7, 2020) ===== * Fixed display of editors in Creator column in new databases (since 5.0.78) * Fixed autocomplete in Advanced Search window (since 5.0.78) * Fixed repeating of autocompleted tags (since 5.0.78) * Increased autocomplete results to 50 entries (up from 25 in 5.0.80) * Citation dialog fixes * Added ability to search by number * Fixed UI issues with bubbles (since 5.0.78) * Fixed page number entry in main text field after making selection (since 5.0.78) * Allow "p123" in addition to ":123" and "p.123" when specifying page number * Adjusted URL launching behavior * Removed URL scheme whitelist for linked-URL attachments * Some URLs were loading via the internal viewer rather than being blocked or launched externally * Only show cursor feedback on URL label if URL can be opened * Don't send cookies with WebDAV requests to avoid 503 error from Nextcloud servers (since 5.0.78) * Restored 'yesterday'/'today'/'tomorrow' parsing for Accessed field and dates in search conditions (since 5.0.78) * Fixed CSL 0.8 style import (since 5.0.78) * Fixed parsing of pre-1000 years * If a leading zero (e.g., '068'), parse as actual year instead of 19xx/20xx * Fixed text links in About pane and preferences (since 5.0.78) * Fixed hiding of password in WebDAV error messages and debug output (since 5.0.78) * Fixed invalid RTF wrapper output when generating a bibliography using the BibTeX CSL style * Fixed the "Report Errors…" button in some error dialogs ===== Changes in 5.0.80 (December 3, 2019) ===== * Fixed "Invalid field" startup error after upgrading directly from Zotero 4 (2017 or earlier) to Zotero 5.0.78-79 * Fixed performance problems with autocomplete in item tags box in large libraries (since 5.0.78) * Restored checkmarks in Sync → "Choose Libraries…" window on Windows/Linux (since 5.0.78) and made checked/unchecked state clearer on all platforms ===== Changes in 5.0.79 (December 2, 2019) ===== * Fixed database upgrade error for some databases (since 5.0.78) ===== Changes in 5.0.78 (December 1, 2019) ===== **Note:** Zotero 5.0.78 includes many internal changes, and some plugins have not yet been updated for compatibility.

(March 9, 2018) ===== === Functionality added or changed === See the [[/blog/zotero-5-0-36/|5.0.36 blog post]] for more details. * **Improved PDF metadata retrieval** * PDFs are now recognized using a Zotero-designed web service that doesn't rely on Google Scholar, allowing large numbers of PDFs to be recognized without rate limits. No data about the content or results of searches is logged by the service. * Zotero now automatically attempts to retrieve metadata for PDFs as they're added (configurable in the preferences). * **Deferred citation updates** * When using the word processor plugin in a large document, disabling "Automatic Citation Updates" in the document preferences will prevent Zotero from updating citations and the bibliography to reflect new citation inserts. This can dramatically speed up plugin usage in large documents. Use the "Refresh" button to manually update citations before submitting the document. * If inserting a citation takes longer than three seconds, Zotero will prompt to disable citation updates. * **Custom PDF viewer setting** * Zotero can now open PDFs using a different PDF viewer from the system default. * **Expanded automatic PDF renaming** * Zotero now automatically renames PDFs based on the parent metadata when adding a stored or linked file attachment to an item, as well as after Retrieve Metadata for PDF is performed. * Can be disabled from the General pane of the preferences * **Bundled PDF tools** * It's no longer necessary to install the PDF tools separately after installing Zotero. * The PDF tools now run from Zotero's application directory rather than the data directory, which improves compatibility with some institutional system policies. * **Various UI improvements on Windows** * Miscellaneous bibliographic output and word processor integration fixes *

5.0 automatically uses the more recent database, which may not be the desired directory if Zotero for Firefox has the primary database but Zotero Standalone 4.0 is opened before the upgrade to Zotero 5.0. This dialog warns about that situation and allows switching to the Firefox database, but it previously didn't show until the next restart after a 5.0 upgrade. * Sped up LibreOffice citation inserts/edits * Fixed 'mimeType is undefined' sync error ===== Changes in 5.0.27 (November 17, 2017) ===== * Show warning on [[kb:data_missing_after_zotero_5_upgrade|Firefox profile access error]] in

A new Zotero Connector for Firefox, similar to the extensions available for Chrome and Safari, allows you to save to the Zotero desktop application or zotero.org in a single click. * If you're a current Zotero for Firefox user, you'll be automatically upgraded to the Zotero Connector for Firefox, and you should install the Zotero application if you don't have it already. * See [[/blog/a-unified-zotero-experience/|the announcement]] for more details on this change. * **My Publications** * Easily build a list of works — articles, papers, books, etc. — that you've created and share them on your profile page on zotero.org * Files can optionally be made publicly available to download under a license you specify * **Feeds** * Subscribe to RSS or Atom feeds — such as those made available by academic journals — from within Zotero * Browse new entries and add them to your Zotero libraries with a single click, with metadata and files automatically collected from the associated webpages * **New syncing architecture** * Selective library sync * Choose libraries to sync from the Sync pane of the preferences * Individual libraries can be synced on-demand via context menu * Independent syncing of libraries * Conflicts or other problems in one library no longer prevent other libraries from syncing * Improved handling of very large libraries * Data changes are now synced incrementally rather than in a single batch * Improved handling of sync conflicts * Many situations that previously resulted in conflicts are now automatically resolved without manual resolution * Immediate sync triggering on remote changes * Ability to interrupt syncing (previously only file syncing could be stopped) * Ability to unlink account and automatically remove local data * **Improved UI responsiveness** * Long operations (e.g. large syncs and imports) are now performed in the background, allowing Zotero to continue to be used * ** New stacked layout option for narrower screens ** * Moves item pane below items list * Configurable in the General pane of the preferences * ** Note editor improvements ** * Upgraded to TinyMCE 4 (4.5.2) * New flat theme * Search/replace within notes * URL autolinking * Increased default font size * New blockquote style * Support for non-English locales * **Direct style installation** * Styles can be installed from the Zotero Style Repository in a single click without leaving Zotero * **Faster translator/style updating** * If automatic update checking for translators and styles is enabled, Zotero will now receive updates — including site compatibility fixes — within a few minutes instead of 24 hours * ** New default data directory location ** * Files are now stored in a 'Zotero' directory in the user's home directory * A data directory in the previous default location within the Zotero or Firefox profile directory will be automatically moved to the new location * The new location allows PDFs and other files to be searched via Spotlight on macOS and restores the ability for PDFs to be annotated in-place via Preview on macOS Sierra * Future versions of Zotero will simplify the structure of the data directory for easier browsing from the filesystem * Added "Delete Automatic Tags in This Library…" option to tag selector menu * Allow file dragging to web targets (e.g., Gmail) and Linux filesystem * Advanced Search improvements * Simplified search condition drop-down in Advanced Search window * Saved searches now appear under "Collection" condition * Export character set selection changes * Show character set drop-down in export window by default * Show only "Unicode (UTF-8)", "Unicode (UTF-8 without BOM)", and "Western" * Added "Manage Styles…" links to Create Bibliography and Document Preferences windows * Automatically attempt to fetch citation style used in document if missing * If style is not from an official source, Zotero will prompt before fetching * The Actions (gear icon) menu has been removed from the toolbar, as all options are now available in menus * Resizing panes is now easier on macOS, with wider draggable areas for pane splitters * Miscellaneous bibliographic output and word processor integration fixes * Updated citeproc-js to version 1.1.171 * Many smaller improvements and fixes === Zotero Connector changes === A number of [[/blog/new-features-for-chrome-and-safari-connectors/|new Zotero Connector features]] require Zotero 5.0: * Proxy support (including support for hyphen-based EZproxy servers) * CSL style installation * RIS/BibTeX interception * Improved attachment saving === Bugs fixed === * Preserve rich-text formatting when editing citations * Fixed report printing * Fixed hanging indent for references dragged to Google Docs * Prevent DNS rebinding attack against connector server * Fixed parsing of non-English months when using a non-English locale * Edit menu options are properly localized * Many more! ===== Older Changes ===== [[4.0_changelog|View the 4.0 changelog]]
