Summary description: Command line application to convert .bib files to
glossaries-extra.sty resource files

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

* Support for new features of mfirstuc v2.07:

- sentence case (firstuc) and title case now recognise \MFUskippunc.
(This should be used to skip leading punctuation.)

- title case now recognises \MFUwordbreak.

* new dual field 'dualdescription'

* new selection option 'selected before'

* new resource options:

- save-from-alias
- save-from-see
- save-from-seealso
- save-crossref-tail
- save-definition-index
- save-use-index
- format-integer-fields
- format-decimal-fields
- secondary-match-action
- secondary-match-op
- secondary-match
- secondary-not-match
- encapsulate-sort
- prefix-only-existing
- save-principal-locations (synonym for save-primary-locations)
- principal-location-formats (synonym for primary-location-formats)

* issue #10: explicit ranges with identical start and end should
collapse to a normal location
https://github.com/nlct/bib2gls/issues/10

This has led to new switches:

--collapse-same-location-range (default)
--no-collapse-same-location-range

* issue #12 Primary locations need to be retained not merged
(save-primary-locations=remove) https://github.com/nlct/bib2gls/issues/12

This has led to new switches:

--retain-formats
--no-retain-formats

* bug fix: @entry missing required name/description results in "null"
saved in the field value. This has been changed to an empty
string (but the warning about the missing field remains).

* bug fix: selection=all doesn't show see and seealso lists in
locations https://github.com/nlct/bib2gls/issues/9

* bug fix: integer sort method should cast to int
https://github.com/nlct/bib2gls/issues/11

* bug fix: indexplural default name incorrect when parent field set
https://github.com/nlct/bib2gls/issues/13
