Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
This is a major release. \bibitem commands are now handled much more cleanly. All standard styles as well as other styles which produce \bibitem commands in a specific way (such as frplainnat.bst) should now be supported. Fixed a bug occurring while using an input file without BibTeX entries. Names with a "von" part such as "Ludwig van Beethoven" are now handled properly, and the two sorting policies regarding relevant entries are supported through the -s option.

alphabib – Add alphabetical headers into citations
AlphaBib is a bash script that adds alphabetical headers into BibTeX bibliographies; such headers can assist searching in a large list of citations. AlphaBib takes a bibliography produced by BibTeX (the .bbl file), and creates a new file with the alphabetic headers inserted.
