Version 0.16.2

• Activate search-query validation for pubmed
• Add support for Python 3.13
• Simplify setup (activate crossref per default, dblp, pubmed are optional)

Version 0.16.1

• Refactor crossref_api to run in Jupyter notebooks.

Version 0.16.0

Added

• tei-parser: add iter_paragraphs()
• prescreen-cli (entrypoint1)

Changed

• loader/bib: allow keys with :/+
• Dependency update: search-query 0.14.1 and bib-dedupe 0.11.0
• dblp: handle timeout gracefully
• package --check: test whether colrev loads the package
• search-api-feed: add ENTRYTYPE if missing
• pdf-prep and unpaywall: handle pymupdf.FileDataError
• package-manager: install packages individually
• crossref: ignore NA/UNKNOWN in url generation
• Dataset: lazy-load git-repo
• github: export more fields

Version 0.15.0

Added

• Added the experimental colrev.enlit package to support exploratory literature analysis workflows and streamlined backward searches.
• Added the experimental colrev.cli_prep_man package for manual metadata preparation from the command line.
• Added the experimental colrev.toc_sync package for synchronizing tables of contents from services such as Crossref into Markdown notes.
• Extended the Scopus SearchSource with API support, including heuristics, search-type selection, and record transformation utilities.
• Added a Pylint checker (colrev-search-source-requests-import) that enforces SearchSource packages to move HTTP calls into dedicated api.py modules.

Changed

• Replaced lxml with defusedxml in the TEI parser and related packages, simplifying XML processing while maintaining functionality and tightening dependency management.
• Refactored search management to rely on extended search-file metadata and shared database-search helpers, clarifying how search histories are stored and maintained.
• Improved the Crossref API integration with request caching, throttling, and richer error handling to provide more robust metadata retrieval.

Fixed

• The search operation now ignores unsupported or temporary files when suggesting new sources, reducing noisy heuristics during source detection.
• Record.get_container_title() now gracefully falls back to available fields for miscellaneous entry types, preventing missing container title errors.
