New bibliography beta

[David Wooten]

Greetings all, esp. Taco,
I'm finally working with the new bib module, it works quite well.  
I've found one curiosity: I have a /defineparagraphs (semi?)-kludge  
in a modified bibl- file to take care of some wonky (but  beautiful)  
layout demands. It worked perfectly in the last version:

  \defineparagraphs [bibpar]
		[n=3,before=\vskip -1.75\baselineskip,after=\vskip -1.25 
\baselineskip,distance=.2em,align={hz,hanging}]
\setupparagraphs [bibpar] [1]
		[width=1.5em]
\setupparagraphs [bibpar] [2]
		[width=3.3em]

What appears to be happening is that the "after" command no longer  
has any effect---regardless of its content. The "before" command  
works as expected.

Thanks again for your time,
David

Possibly because I added some unskips as a quick fix for whitespace
problems in the bibl- definitions. Try this:

   \defineparagraphs [bibpar]
          ... after=\vskip -1.25\baselineskip\vskip1sp

(so using two skips in succession instead of just one)

If that doesn't work, then I need a more elaborate example.

Cheers, Taco
