All +styles require the latest biblatex (3.16) and biber (2.16). + + - Patrick Danilevici has very generously provided a Romanian + localization for biblatex-chicago (cms-romanian.lbx) to go with the + romanian.lbx he wrote for biblatex itself. The only hitch is that + the latter file won't be in the standard biblatex package until the + next release, so you'll have to grab it from GitHub + https://github.com/plk/biblatex/tree/dev/tex/latex/biblatex/lbx + until then. + + - Moritz Wemheuer recommended that I include the standard biblatex + macro "begentry" at the start of all drivers in both Chicago + styles, with an empty definition by default. This allows users to + redefine it in their preambles and thereby inject their code into + the driver before anything is printed. + + - Moritz also drew my attention to a question on StackExchange which + suggested that I should expand the applicability of the + "annotation" field, so I've modified the "annotation" option in all + styles to allow the field to appear both in bibliography (reference + list) and in long notes, and also added two new options in all + styles, "bibannotesep" and "citeannotesep," which allow you to + define how the "annotation" field will relate to the main entry. + The options have different defaults, and although they have the + same pre-defined keys those keys may have slightly different + meanings depending on whether the "annotation" is to appear in + notes or bibliography. Please see the docs of field and options in + sections 4.2, 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 5.2, 5.4.2, and 5.4.3 of + biblatex-chicago.pdf. + + - On a related subject, I have included two new options in all styles + -- "formatbib" and "entrybreak" -- which provide fine-grained control + of page breaking in bibliographies and reference lists. Some of + the values of these options are designed to be used with specific + values of the "bibannotesep" option, so please see the + documentation in sections 4.4.3 and 5.4.3. + + - In the notes & bibliography style Fr. Norbert Keliher requested a + way to turn off the printing, in the first citation of a work, of + the introduction -- (hereafter cited as ...) -- of a "shorthand" + that will appear in subsequent citations. The "shorthandintro" + option is now available globally, per type, and per entry to allow + you to control the (non)appearance of this clarifying notification. + By default, the first citation of a work will continue to present + the "shorthand" as it always has. Please see section 4.4.3 for the + details. + + - Philipp Immel requested a feature involving the "nameaddon" field, + and pointed to a discussion on StackExchange which suggested that + others were also unsatisfied with that field's functionality, so in + this release I've provided three new package options to allow users + to mould it to their needs. The options are called "nameaddon," + "nameaddonformat," and "nameaddonsep," and you can find all the + details in the "nameaddon" docs in sections 4.2. and 5.2. Cf. + also the discussions of the options in sections 4.4.2, 4.4.3, + 5.4.2, and 5.4.3. Allow me to emphasize that the package defaults + remain exactly the same as before, so that if you don't set any of + the new options no changes to your documents or .bib databases are + necessary. + + - Philipp Immel also requested a way to use the standard biblatex + option "datamodel" even when loading the Chicago styles with + \usepackage{biblatex-chicago}. Implementing this allowed me to + regularize how the standard "mcite" and "natbib" options were + passed through to biblatex, and also to support the new biblatex + "casechanger" option, which can help solve a bug reported by Peter + Mukunda Pasedach. See sections 4.4.3 and 5.4.3. + + - The new "relatedtype" "short" is available in all styles to allow + the presentation of short references rather than full ones when + using the "related" mechanism. See sections 4.2.1 and 5.2.1. + + - In a similar vein, I have provided new \citeincite and + \fullciteincite commands to allow you, in some contexts, to cite a + related work inside the fields of another entry, something which, + although not recommended, is common practice, and which has + frequently not worked quite right. The \citeincite and + \citeincites commands always present short citations, and are + available in several fields, while \fullciteincite and + \fullciteincites always present long references, and are designed + only to be used in the "annotation" field for cases where an + annotated bibliography or reference list includes references to + works not cited in the main text. See sections 4.3.2 and 5.3.2 for + the details. If I've missed yet further tricky corners in this + functionality please let me know. + + - After a request by Patrick Danilevici, I have added the four fields + "eventdate," "eventtitle," "eventtitleaddon," and "venue" to the + InProceedings, MVProceedings, and Proceedings drivers in all + styles, for compatibility with standard biblatex usage. See the + docs of those entry types in sections 4.1 and 5.1. + + - The "postnotepunct" option should generally work now, both in more + contexts and with arbitrary "postnote" field contents. + + - The "dashed" option governing the use of the 3-em dash in + bibliographies and reference lists is now available globally, per + type, and per entry. + +Note on the 16th-edition files: + + - These have been updated for compatibility with the latest biblatex + and biber, and there are also a number of bug fixes included. I + haven't added any new functionality to the files, so for instance + if you want to use the new Romanian localization you'll need the + current 17th-edition styles. With this release I am marking the + 16th-edition files as deprecated, and will remove them in a future + release. Please consider moving your documents to the current + specification, where all of my development time is now spent. + + Release notes for version 2.0 [2020-04-20]: With this release biblatex-chicago now by default follows the 17th |
