     (provided by glossaries-extra v1.54+)

    saved in the field value. This has been changed to an empty

v2.7 (2020-07-11):

  * save-original-entrytype option now allows the name of a field
    as the value (making it consistent with the save-original-id
    option).

  * save-original-id option now has a check to disallow special
    internal fields (instead of silently ignoring the setting).

    instead of explicitly using
    \setentrycounter[<prefix>]{<counter>}\<format>{<location>}
    This matches the way the record is added to the loclist field
    and makes it easier to adjust the record formatting.

  * bib2gls now always parses the .log file even if the interpreter
    setting is off. (It still needs to know version details and
    whether hyperlinks and Unicode are supported by the document.)

  * Underscores now allowed in bib labels.

  * Hooks added to pick up label prefixes if needed:

     \bibglsprimaryprefixlabel
     \bibglsdualprefixlabel
     \bibglstertiaryprefixlabel
     \bibglsexternalprefixlabel
