2023. Free reference manager JabRef 5.8 gets 3-Way-Merge feature



JabRef, an open-source citation manager for Windows, PC and Linux, has recently launched version 5.8, which includes a notable addition - the 3-Way-Merge feature. With this new feature, users can conveniently review and modify changes while merging entries and organizing their database. Furthermore, it enables the merging of groups, keywords, comments, and files when merging entries and also alerts users if the authors are the same but formatted differently. The External changes resolver dialog now displays a preview of the entry and the option to merge entries using the new 3-Way-Merge feature. Apart from this, JabRef's backup and saving feature has undergone significant improvements, including automatic backups (up to 10) in the user's app dir and a direct link to the backup folder to review backup files if an existing newer backup is found at startup. Additionally, these upgrades have fixed several issues related to detecting changes and saving in the library.
