bib2gls update: - New resource options: assign-fields assign-override assign-missing-field-action flatten-lonely-condition flatten-lonely-missing-field-action copy-to-glossary copy-to-glossary-missing-field-action abbreviation-text-fallback locale - default value of sort option is now sort=resource rather than sort=doc. If the locale option isn't set then sort=resource is equivalent to sort=doc. - Added support for bib2gls-extra-<lang>.xml files. - Bug fix: Removed already defined in other glstex file warning if action != define - Bug fix: if parent entry is a dependent of another entry not marked for removal don't flatten lonely child convertgls2bib update: - Fixed infinite loop: at com.dickimawbooks.gls2bib.Gls2Bib.newcommand(Gls2Bib.java:419) at com.dickimawbooks.texparserlib.latex.LaTeXParserListener.newcommand(LaTeXParserListener.java:978)

bib2gls – Command line application to convert .bib files to glossaries-extra.sty resource files
This Java command line application may be used to extract glossary information stored in a .bib file and convert it into glossary entry definition commands.
This application should be used with glossaries-extra.sty’s ‘record’ package option. It performs two functions in one:- selects entries according to records found in the .aux file (similar to bibtex),
- hierarchically sorts entries and collates location lists (similar to makeindex or xindy).
The glossary entries can then be managed in a system such as JabRef, and only the entries that are actually required will be defined, reducing the resources required by TeX.
The supplementary application convertgls2bib can be used to convert existing .tex files containing definitions (\newglossaryentry etc.) to the .bib format required by bib2gls.
