Summary: A BibTeX replacement for users of biblatex
Description:
The biblatex package by Philipp Lehman is likely to become the definitive citation management tool for LaTeX users. Biblatex relies on the venerable BibTeX program only for sorting and generating a very generic bbl file without any formatting instruction. Everything else is taken care of by biblatex, which provides a powerful and flexible macro interface for authors of citation styles. With Biber it is no longer necessary to rely on BibTeX. For maximal portability, the current version includes a Pure Perl BibTeX parser with a Parse::RecDescent grammar, but if available it will use the much faster Text::BibTeX module which relies on the btparse C library. The objective of the first development phase is to have a robust and reliable emulation of the BibTeX processor with the biblatex.bst style file. In other words, given the same .aux file as input, biber should output a functionally identical .bbl file as BibTeX.
