Summary description: A tool for manipulating BibTeX files
Announcement text:
* Treatment of empty values for key separators fixed. * Resource parse.exit.on.error added to force a stop when a parsing error is encountered. The default is false, i.e. an error recovery is attempted. * Error messages for parsing resource arguments improved. The usual pointer is used there as well. * Documentation extended to cover the exit codes of BibTool. * Some updates in the documentation files for the new TeX live: removing old font commands.
