In the spirit of this year’s Winter Olympics 🇮🇹 ❄️ 🏟️, we are proud to announce a winner as well: A new JabRef version…

We are excited to announce the new alpha 5 of JabRef.

As already written in an earlier post, it now features the new citations fetched from OpenCitation and OpenAlex.

Another new cool feature is now the download of book cover images.
Of course, we also fixed the usual bugs.

@julian slightly off-topic hint: as hastags sadly aren't case sensitive we usually prefer #TeXLaTeX to avoid confusion. Maybe you want to add/switch to that one.

This conference paper template overhaul for @ecscw2026 was a huge (by my standards) LaTeX project.

Love and respect to Saturnino Luz, the author of the 2006 template, which remained untouched up to 2025. A revamp was overdue. The new template uses current-decade LaTeX features to make document metadata more accessible and searchable, add alt text to figures, and integrate services like @ORCID_Org.

The @ecscw2026 account will probably post about more of these improvements over time.
