Globbing causes + some issues with UTF8 encoding detection on some OSes and since it + is a niche requirement, it is turned off by default. + * DEPRECATION WARNING - The BBLXML output format will be removed in + version 4. It is rarely used and complicates test suite maintenance + considerably. +2.14 (2019-12) + * XDATA now supports granular references so that specific + fields/items in a list field may be used and inserted into + fields/list positions. This allow, for example, re-use of names + from a general XDATA entry containing data about authors. See the + biblatex documentation. + * Remote Zotero data source requests now send correct header + * Annotations are now correctly output for related entries + * Better sorting of some name edge cases + * New map_entrykey_* mapping verbs + * New options --noremove-tmp-dir and --show-tmp-dir to disable of + removal on exit and showing location of temporary directory used for + intermediate data. Useful for debugging. + * Tool mode now accepts multiple data files on the command-line so + that data can be spread over several files (e.g. main bib and + crossrefs can be kept in separate files) + * Biber no longer uses Text::BibTeX/btparse to generation initials + from names in normal name parsing mode because it can't handle + some Unicode situations. +2.13 (2019-08-13) + * biber now exits with error on some very malformed names instead of + skipping them as this can lead to data loss in bibliographies. + * Support for named annotations +2.12 (2018-10-30) + * Added support for biblatex literal and named annotation features + * Added support for biblatex \ifnocite test + * Case insensitive matching operators in sourcemaps (matchi/notmatchi) + * Support for biblatex min/maxsortnames options + * Added support for biblatex 'noroman' option to supporess roman + numeral interpretation in ranges. + * Misc bug fixes +2.11 (2018-02-14) + * New entrynocite option for maps which create/clone entries + * Misc bug fixes +2.10 (2017-12-19) + * Misc bug fixes +2.9 (2017-11-04) + * Misc bug fixes +2.8 (2017-11-04) + * Updated copyright dates + * Support for many new biblatex 3.8 features (see bibatex change doc + and PDF manual). + * --output-resolve option is now a meta-alias for the more granular + --output-resolve-* options - see the biber -? output + * The --nouri-encode option is removed. All urls are URL encoded and + a new field urlraw is always output with an unencoded version. +2.7 (2016-12-08) + * New option (--nouri-encode) to prevent URL encoding of URLs. Avoids breaking + display of URLS which contain non-ASCII. + * Misc bug fixes +2.6 (2016-09-10) + * Improved tool mode bibtex output. This has some normalisation + consequences for YEAR and custom fields. See PDF doc. + * Support for new \ifuniquebaretitle test + * Sourcemaps can now be restricted to particular refsections + * Perl 5.24 is now required due to use of postfix deref notation + * Removed RIS input driver due to lack of use + * Added extended name format - see documentation + * Added notfield function to sourcemaps - see documentation +2.5 (2016-05-10) + * Added data annotations feature - see biblatex documentation. + * Removed the "latinkeys.txt" Unicode::Collate table. This is now + pointless because the compiled 'allkeys.txt' is faster and complete. + * Incompatible biblatex/biber version is now a fatal error. + * Significant performance improvements, particularly in sorting subsystem. + * Addition of new bblXML output format and associated RelaxNG XML + schema based on active datamodel. + * Integration with new biblatex 3.4 labelprefix name change and + refcontext option. + * Integration with new biblatex 3.4 \DeclareDatafieldSet + functionality. + * Improved sourcemap looping functionality +2.4 (2016-03-01) + * Misc bug fixes + * There is now a 64-bit windows build built on windows 10 + * Biblatexml datasources now support sourcemapping and have a schema + automatically generated from the datamodel. See new biber options + 'validate-bltxml' and 'no-bltxml-schema' in --help output. + * New functionality in sourcemaps for creating new entries and + looping over specified fields. + * Sorting key used to sort names is now customisable. See + \DeclareSortingNamekeyScheme in biblatex manual. + * Support for Zotero RDF/XML and Endnote removed. These were + experimental and messy. +2.3 (2015-12-28) + * Misc bug fixes +2.2 (2015-10-21) + * Tool mode now preserves comments at the end of the file + * New ISBN formatting options for biber (--isbn10, --isnb13, --isbn-normalise) + * Implemented way of ignoring certain regexps when counting + fixed-width string in labels (see biblatex \DeclareNolabelwidthcount macro) + * Updated binary builds to perl 5.22 + * Cygwin binary build is now handled by Texlive builders + * Misc bug fixes +2.1 (2015-05-06) + * Misc bug fixes +2.0 (2015-04-20) + * Misc bug fixes + * New negated "per type" sourcemap verb for negating the application + of maps to specific entry types + * New "entry clone" sourcemap verb for cloning entries during + sourcemapping. See PDF documentation for biber. + * Added range length calculation support. Biber now calculates the length of + ranges for biblatex and can handle roman numerals, including just + about any UTF-8 composed, non-composed or compat versions + * Complete re-write of the biblatex use* name functionality now + automatically supports all name fields defined in the data model. See + biblatex manual + * Moved labelname and labeltitle resolution from biber to biblatex for more + flexibility and future extensions + * Moved to perl 5.20 for all internals and builds +1.9 (2014-05-25) + * Misc bug fixes + * Option names accept dashes as well as underscores for general TeX + option compatibility. + * New "--input-directory" option + * Tool mode now also supports data validation + * Perl 5.18 is now used to build all biber binaries + * Locale-sensitive sorting now more granular (see biblatex + "sortlocale" documentation) + * Source mapping feature now interpolates from previous matches + * Now supports generalised separated values lists using new + "--xsvsep" option. + * Macro <-> UTF-8 conversion now more robust + * New Text::BibTeX library now supports generating initials from + general UTF-8 strings (for, e.g. Russian names) +1.8 (2013-10-21) + * Perl 5.18 compatibility (hash order randomisation) + * Removed Data::Diver module due to linux licensing restrictions + * Misc Bug Fixes +1.7 (2013-07-07) + * Added clrmacros option + * Added map_nomatch + * Added --tool_macro_fields option + * Exposed sorting option to user-level config file (so sorting in tool mode is possible) +1.6 (2013-04-30) + * Bugfixes + * Now uses perl 5.16.

This is less of a problem anyway because the + binary build makes it less necessary to make builds easy on perl<5.10 + * Misc bug fixes +0.5.5 (29-08-2010) + * Biber::BibTeX moved to Biber::Input::BibTeX. If upgrading, please remove + your installed <perl lib>/Biber/BibTeX.pm, just to be tidy + * New aliases for EPRINT classes and types implemented (see BibLaTeX docs). + * Biber now resolves XREFs as well as CROSSREFs so one less LaTeX pass is needed + * Allows UTF-8 citekeys. Requires Text::BibTeX >= 0.46 and a fully UTF-8 + aware TeX macro package (e.g. XeTeX or LuaLaTeX). Normal LaTeX with \inputenc + will not work because the UTF-8 it uses is incomplete, macro based and not native. + * RecDescent parser is no longer supported or included. If upgrading, please remove + your installed <perl lib>/Biber/BibTeX directory, just to be tidy + * Now requires LaTeX::Decode >= 0.03 + * Stricter version dependency for Text::BibTeX.

If --outfile is absolute, it + is stripped to the filename and the path discarded. Absolute .aux + paths are stripped to filename for appending to --output-directory. + * Updated PRD to use new encoding option names. Now works with -e. + * sortlos was not settable to use bib sort order + * With Text::BibTeX >= 0.42, will do all name/initials generation with btparse + library. + * Abstracted BBL output into Biber::Output class for better re-use and potential + for output formats other than .bbl. + * Synced uniquename .bcf values with change in biblatex 0.9a +0.5.2 (04-03-2010) + * Locale fixes + * Uniquename fixed to match BibLaTeX option values + * Improved error message for malformed names + * Fixed config file problems under windows and also added option to ignore config file + * Bug with conflicting case between citations and bib entries + * Moved pure perl parsename to PRD.pm + * Re-write of name parsing to use Text::BibTeX::Name by default + * Fields which can be null are explicitly flagged + * Add THANKS file + * Die early when biber is called without argument + * Fixed Mac config path error + * .bib parse continues after certain errors + * regularised collate options processing + * field nameaddon was missing from Biber::Constants + * Improved warning message for missing backend=biber + * SF bug 2952347 fix (empty date range end) + * uniquename counter was being provided incorrectly +0.5.1 (15-02-2010) + * Remove support for legacy control files (\jobname-blx.bib): + Biber now only reads .bcf files written by biblatex with the + option "backend=biber". + * Improved handling of "uniquename" and "namehash". + * Don't apply latexescape in bbl output, as it breaks math formatting. +0.5 (13-02-2010) + * Supports all changes introduced by biblatex 0.9 + * Moved all parts relating to the experimental BibLaTeXML format to the + "biblatexml" branch on the git repo + * Communication between biblatex and Biber can be done through a + XML-based config file (extension .bcf): this is enabled with the + experimental biblatex option "backend=biber" + * Biber can now be customized with a configuration file + * Considerable refactoring and cleanup of the code + * Further enhancements to the test suite + * Improved logging mechanism + * More robust parsing of personal names + * Ignore certain prefixes and diacritics in sort strings, for + instance ʿAlī is sorted under A, and al-Hasan under H. This can + be customized in the configuration file (biber.conf). + * New command-line option --output-directory (like TeX) + * Many, many bugfixes + +0.4.3 (23-07-2009) + * With biblatex option "backend=biber" and biber option --v2 + the new experimental control file \jobname.bcf is used, + which brings in many new features, such as per-entrytype + settings. + * More sophisticated/customizable sorting mechanism + * More extensive test suite + * Improved BibLaTeXML schema + * improved handling of BibLaTeXML (enable nested children, + formatting elements, nosort elements) + * Do not apply latexescape() by default on xml strings + * Skip title handling in BibLaTeXML when not existing + * Ignore maxline, add option wraplines + * Built-in sort is now default (option --fastsort) + * Sorting with Unicode::Collate is possible with option --collate + * Make tests succeed w/o Parse::RD and Regexp::Common + * Don't output date and urldate in the bbl + * Add missing fields "date" "urldate" "organization" "annotator" + "foreword" and "eventtitle" + * Use Data::Dump instead of Data::Dumper for debugging + * Fields "library" and "remarks" are now skipped + * Bugfix for aliases (e.g. address, school) + * Bugfix: process urldate to get urlyear,urlmonth,urlday + * Remove illegal value shorttranslator from labelname option + * Changed biberdebug option to debug + * Changed option inputencoding to bibencoding + +0.4.2 (25-04-2009) + * New option --inputencoding to handle 8-bit encoded bib files + * $BIBINPUT environment is now searched + * Improved parsing of personal names + * @comments are now silently ignored + * Fixed handling of @preamble; multiple preambles are allowed + * Warnings and errors behave more like BibTeX + * Alias fields are automatically converted (e.g. address -> location) + * Take care of "phdthesis" and "mathesis" types + * Cite keys of bib files are now case-insensitive + * Default Unicode collation now uses the table "latinkeys.txt" + (this is much faster than "allkeys.txt" which contains rules for + all Unicode glyphs) + * Unicode::Collate parameters can be passed as a command-line option + * Faster sorting (with option -f) is also possible for specific + locales given with option --locale (this is OS-dependent however) + * PRD grammar is now precompiled + * bbl output is now wrapped acc to maxline option + * Empty fields are no longer printed in the bbl + * Sorting is much improved. + * Use sortstring separators 0 1 2 like biblatex.bst + * Handle truncation of name lists acc to minnames/maxnames + * bib2biblatexml has been improved + * Windows version of Text::BibTeX provided as ppm. + * Many more bugfixes + +0.4.1 (31-03-2009) + * Text::BibTeX now optional dependency +0.4 (27-03-2009) + * Initial beta release + |
