v1.3.0
This release stabilizes the bibliography editor before new feature work begins.
No new features — all changes improve reliability, performance, and code clarity.
What changed
Explicit 50-citation limit
The previous 1.x releases had a hidden cliff: adding a 51st citation would silently
send an over-limit request to the formatter, which would fail and fall back to raw
title text. That cliff is now replaced by an explicit per-block cap of 50 citations
with inline editor warnings when you reach or exceed the limit. Legacy blocks above
50 remain readable and deletable; reformatting is blocked until you're back under
the cap.
Async stale-result guards
All editor mutation flows — paste/import, manual add, delete, style switch, and
structured edit — now share a latest-operation guard. If a newer action supersedes
an in-flight format request, the stale result is discarded instead of overwriting
the bibliography with out-of-date text.
Manual-entry single-format path
Adding a citation via the manual entry form previously triggered two formatter
calls: one for the new entry and one for the merged bibliography. The redundant
first call is removed; the merged bibliography is formatted once.
Smaller release zip
Non-runtime vendor documentation, examples, and images are pruned from the release
package, and composer.lock is no longer shipped. The zip is ~386 KB.
PMID and DOI network hardening
Successful PMID proxy responses are now cached to reduce repeat round-trips to
NCBI. Duplicate DOI inputs within the same editing session skip redundant
citation-js resolution calls and share in-flight resolution work.
Code maintainability
Editor side-effects are extracted into focused hooks (useCitationImportActions,
useManualCitationActions, useBibliographyExportActions), reducing edit.js
from ~1,400 lines to ~845. PHP PMID resolver, cache, and permission logic moves
into includes/pmid.php.
Upgrade notes
No breaking changes. Existing bibliographies under 50 citations are unaffected.
Blocks with more than 50 citations (only possible through direct attribute editing
or migration from pre-1.x data) will display a warning in the editor and cannot be
reformatted until citations are removed.
