-====== Changes in Zotero 2.1 ======+<html><p id="zotero-5-update-warning" style="color: red; font-weight: bold">We’re 
 +in the process of updating the documentation for 
 +<a href="https://www.zotero.org/blog/zotero-5-0">Zotero 5.0</a>. Some documentation 
 +may be outdated in the meantime. Thanks for your understanding.</p></html>
  
-===== Changes to citation API ===== 
  
-With the introduction of citeproc-js, all Zotero.CSL APIs have been removed. Styles can be loaded in the usual way by accessing Zotero.Styles, but +Moved to [[Changes in Zotero 2.1]] and [[Changes in Zotero 3.0]].
-developers should use Zotero.Style.csl to acquire a citeproc-js engine instance for citation formatting. <code>Zotero.Cite.makeFormattedBibliography(engine, format)</code> can be used to generate a fully-formatted bibliography.  +
- +
-===== Changes to interface-related code ===== +
- +
-Zotero as a tab and Zotero Standalone have required us to further abstract the interface layer. While the code for the interface has changed little, and most overlays should continue to work, as of the present Zotero trunk, plug-ins and add-ons should now overlay zoteroPane.xul instead of browser.xul or overlay.xul in chrome.manifest, e.g., using: +
- +
-<code>overlay chrome://zotero/content/zoteroPane.xul chrome://zotero-addon/content/overlay.xul</code> +
- +
-===== Changes to translators ===== +
- +
-  * Several functions in Zotero.Utilities have been eliminated, as they were essential duplications of built-in JavaScript methods. +
- +
-  * Zotero.configure() and Zotero.displayOptions() no longer exist. Instead, translators should specify config and display options in the metadata block at the top of the translator, e.g. <code>+
- "translatorID":"32d59d2d-b65a-4da4-b0a3-bdd3cfb979e7", +
- [...] +
- "configOptions":{"dataMode":"rdf/xml"}, +
- "displayOptions":{"exportNotes":true}, +
- "lastUpdated":"2011-01-11 04:31:00" +
-}</code> +
- +
-  * It is no longer necessary to specify "dataMode":"block" or "dataMode":"line". If Zotero.read() is passed a numeric value, it reads a specified number of bytes; otherwise, it reads a full line. +
- +
-  * Import and export translators now show determinate progress bars. By default, Zotero computes progress by the percentage of the file read for import, or the percentage of items retrieved using Zotero.nextItem() for export. Translators can override this by calling Zotero.setProgress(percentage) to set the percentage the progress bar displays, or Zotero.setProgress(null) to show an indeterminate indicator. +
- +
-===== Changes to translate interface ===== +
- +
-New code should create new instances of the translate interface using type-specific constructors, e.g., to create a web translator: +
- +
-<code>new Zotero.Translate.Web();</code> +
- +
-===== Locate Engines ===== +
- +
-Zotero 2.1b6 and later support extensible locate engines. For further details, see [[dev:creating_locate_engines_using_opensearch|Creating Locate Engines using OpenSearch]]. +
- +
-====== Changes in Zotero 2.1.9 (not yet released) ====== +
- +
-===== Changes to translators ===== +
- +
-  * Z is now a shortcut for Zotero in translators, and ZU is a shortcut for Zotero.Utilities. +
- +
-  * New utility functions: +
-    * <code>Zotero.Utilities.xpath(element, xpath[, namespaces])</code> Accepts a DOM element, document, or array of elements or documents and evaluates an XPath, optionally interpreting namespace prefixes using a object whose keys correspond to namespace prefixes and whose values correspond to namespace URIs. The result is an array of nodes matching the XPath. +
-    * <code>Zotero.Utilities.xpathText(element, xpath[, namespaces[, delimiter]])</code> Behaves similarly to Zotero.Utilities.xpath, but the result is the textContent of all matching nodes, joined by a delimiter if more than one node matched. If no delimiter is specified, ", " is used.+
