In 2002, due to the lack of visible updates on the web, the program was adopted for maintenance, distribution, and further evolution by Diomidis Spinellis. Changes made by him include support for XHTML 1.0 and documentation bug fixes. The first public release of the maintenance effort was in 2004 (version 2.1). On March 2004 the program was renamed into <b>bib2xhtml</b> to avoid confusion with projects using the name <b>bib2html .</b> Panos Louridas (<i>louridas@aueb.gr</i>) added the functionality for including the citations in the <i>htmlfile .</i></p> <!-- INDENTATION --> <p>See <i>http://www.spinellis.gr/sw/textproc/bib2xhtml</i> for the latest version.
