IMPORTANT NOTE:
This is the package formerly known as biblatex-chicago-notes-df. It
-is designed for use with the latest version (3.10) of biblatex. The
-package contains the 16th-edition Chicago style files only, as I have
-removed the long-obsolete 15th-edition styles in preparation for the
-forthcoming 17th-edition revisions. If you have used the package
-before, then you should be sure to consult the RELEASE file to find
-out what alterations you may need to make to your .bib files and
-document preambles to bring them up to date. Most particularly please
-note that Biber is now required for the author-date styles, and very
-strongly advised for the notes & bibliography style (version 2.10 is
-designed for use with the latest biblatex).

+features and fixes as compared with the older styles. If you have

Biblatex-chicago contains three biblatex styles implementing the
-specifications of the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition. The
+specifications of the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition. The
"notes & bibliography" style was formerly available in the package
biblatex-chicago-notes-df, and is intended primarily for writers in
the humanities. The "author-date" style, generally favored by writers
-in the sciences and social sciences, comes in two flavors. The 16th
-edition of the Manual has brought the presentation of sources in this
-style much more into line with the notes & bibliography specification,
-especially regarding the formatting of titles. If you still require
-titles to be capitalized sentence style, and article titles, for
-example, not to be enclosed in quotation marks, then you may now use
-the traditional author-date style ("authordate-trad"), which provides
-these features while in all other respects following the 16th-edition
-specifications.

-This is a beta release, but its feature set is already fairly

-biblatex-chicago.pdf, which contains cross-references to more detailed
-explanations about how this update will affect parts of your .bib
-file. If you are just getting started, the best way to learn the
-system is to read the Quickstart section in that same file, then read
-either cms-notes-intro.pdf or cms-dates-intro.pdf, each of which are
-fully cross-referenced and contain links to the complete reference
-guide to both styles in sections 4 or 5 of biblatex-chicago.pdf. The
-package also contains annotated .bib files (notes-test.bib and
-dates-test.bib) which each offer over 100 entries demonstrating how to
-present a wide range of sources, nearly all of them taken from the
-Chicago Manual of Style itself, so that you can compare the output of
-your system (cms-notes-sample.tex, cms-dates-sample.tex,
-cms-trad-sample.tex) or my system (cms-notes-sample.pdf,
