  options is set to 1 (h/t davidaknowles #56)

  names (h/t Damon Bayer #51)

RefManageR v1.2.0

NEW FEATURES

  which defaults to BibOptions()$ignore.case (TRUE) so that case is
  ignored when checking for duplicate fields (h/t Justin Calabrese #47)
• Improved warning message when printing entries with unknown
  LaTeX macros (the entry key is now included). (h/t Justin Calabrese #49)
• The entry key is now included in warning messages when entries are
  missing fields and BibOptions()$check.entries == "warn" (h/t Justin
  Calabrese #48)

  to allow for printing only a subset of all cited entries from
  a BibEntry object (h/t Joseph Casillas #45, #46)

BUG FIXES

• Entries are now only checked once to ensure all required
  fields are present in ReadBib

• Added note about locales when parsing string 'month' fields to ReadBib help
  page (h/t Dieter Menne)

  authors are missing (h/t Dale Steele)

BUG FIXES

  if one entry in the doi vector has a typo and the rest are valid)
• ReadBib: If a name list field in an entry cannot be parsed in the bib file, the
  entry will be ignored, but the rest of the file will still be processed and
  returned. In the past, this caused an error and no output would be returned.
• 'Book' entries will now be parsed correctly by GetPubMedByID (h/t Dale Steele)

  Version 0.8.45)
