What's new in this version:

Changed:
- When adding a new entry, one can select "title" to create a full BibTeX entry based on a title
- When editing an article, the tab "Optional fields" now shows "ISSN"
- When editing a book, the tab "Optional fields" now shows "ISBN"
- When using "Copy citation (HTML)" and pasting into a text editor, plain text is always pasted
- When using the "Download from URL" functionality, one is not limited to http(s) URLs, but can, for instance, enter ftp URLs
- When using the "Look up full text documents" functionality, JabRef warns more explicitly about multiple requests
- The entry received from DOI does no longer contain the DOI as URL. Implements
- We use following parameters for the JVM on Windows and OSX: -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:+UseStringDeduplication -XX:StringTableSize=1000003

Fixed:
- Clicking on "Get Fulltext" button sets links correctly for the entry being edited
- The integrity check now determines the set of BibLaTeX-only fields differently
- The integrity check filter works again
- The ArXiv fetcher also accepts identifiers that include the "arXiv:" prefix
- We fixed an issue where groups containing brackets were not working properly
- Closing of subtrees in the groups panel using "close subtree" is working again
- We fixed issues with the timestamp field. However, clearing with the clear button is not possible if timestamp format does not match the current settings
- The proxy settings are now also applied to HTTPS connections
