New features with Word interaction:
the manuscript properties like the style are now persisted in the file itself, and will survive a file move or renaming

Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion compatibility including Gate Keeper support.
Watched folders. One can now tell Papers to watch one or more folders and automatically import any documents that are dropped into them. You can configure the watched folders under the library tab in the preferences.
OTHER BUG FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS:
Added the ability to skip publications that have no notes or annotations when exporting notes.
Author and journal editing now allows correcting misspelled names.
Pasting in author names into the author editor no longer removes periods after initials.
