Zotero 7

[wshanks]

Zotero 7 is a major overhaul of the Zotero codebase and requires extensive updates to LyZ for it to keep working. Personally, I have not written a document in TeX format in years and the last time I did I used Overleaf, so I don't see myself having much personal need for LyZ in the future. I haven't minded the occasional usage question or compatibility fix, but I don't think I can justify doing a major rework myself. I am happy to help if someone else wants to do the work either as a one off or as part of becoming a new maintainer.

If no one comes forward within a couple months of Zotero 7 being released, I will update the README to indicate that LyZ is no longer maintained.

Dear Will, Petr, and all who did contribute or are contributing to the LyZ: As one of the users who rely heavily on LyX, Zotero and LyZ, I am very grateful for your work. Obviously, I would be happy if you would be willing to spend even more time on the project so that LyZ would remain usable after a transition to Zotero 7. I am very sorry that I am not a programmer and could offer no help apart from some feedback or reporting. Of course, I will still be deeply indebted to you if you decide to use your time on other projects instead. Still, I wanted to let you that there are people out there who use and appreciate LyZ!

I definitively approve the comment of ribosome08. I do not feel able to sort out the compatibility with the new version, but I really appreciate what has been done, and maybe this may motivate someone to try do to the job for the next version.
All the best
:)
