[DBLP](http://github.com/grundprinzip/dblp) version 0.4.5 is more or less a maintenance release. It fixes several connection problems and as an improvement removes the cross-reference from the BibTeX entry. The book title in the main entry is now replaced by the title of the cross-reference. This should be more convenient with regards to the limited space in a research paper. To update your gem execute {% highlight sh %} sudo gem install dblp {% endhighlight %} For more detail see my original post.

Maintain your LaTex bibliography files using DBLP It's always the same, you write a paper / thesis and you are searching for source, than you modify them until they fit into the format you are currently using. But this should not be. A better way is to extract the right key from DBLP and automagically create the correct bib file. You think this is magic? No it's not, it's so easy. There are only two prerequisites for using rDBLP on your computer: 1. Make sure Ruby and RubyGems are installed 1. Make sure you have a working internet connection...

It's been while since I worked on slimtimercli but today I received a pull request via Github telling me that evaryont polished the gem and updated it and fixed some bugs. I took a few minutes to make slimtimercli use gemcutter and published it again --- with version 0.1.8. I love open source software! - Martin
