It includes support for NASA ADS and other search engines and I have mentioned it in the past now and then.

This update to 1.8 may have happened some time ago, but the program continues to be improved and I think becomes more useful with each update.

I’ll need to check out the bibtex export ability and such of it, but it was already quite handy and with ADS and arXiv now bulit-in; it’s even better.

Via a comment from the authors on the old Paper post.

As an aside, Macbooks and Macbook Pros dominated the AAS convention in Austin, perhaps even more so than usual. One of these years I should just do an entrance poll into the exhibit hall at AAS and ask people what platform they use. What do you all think, 60-70% Macs now? Surely something like that among laptop usage, but I would imagine there is still plenty of Linux on desktop machines.
