+Changelog for version 2.1
+- Improved documentation, recreating more than 200 examples from an appendix
+ of the ninth edition of the MLA Handbook (2021).
+- Added support for @dataset, @performance, and @software entrytypes.
+- Added internal counter for delaying certain elements of multivolume books,
+ along with a three-way option toggle (auto, true, false) for bibliography and
+ entry. The MLA allows for a few different ways to display the information for
+ a multivolume set when citing a book from that set, whether displaying it
+ alongside the book information or delaying it for an additional container.
+ With the default "containerized=auto" setting, biblatex-mla tries to choose a
+ method based on the number of fields defined, but setting the option to
+ "true" or "false" will force the behavior for an entry.
+- Substantially updated the display of audiovisual sources. Among other things,
+ new entry options "uniquenamea", "uniquenameb", and "uniquenamec=true" allow
+ for the indication that the namea, nameb, or namec field should apply to an
+ individual work, rather than to a larger collection in which it is included.
+ This option makes it possible to show, for instance, that the director of a
+ single episode of a TV show is not responsible for the whole series.
+- Changed the display of numeric ranges in pages and some dates to match MLA
+ guidelines, compressing them accordingly: 250-258 now displays as 250-58,
+ dropping the redundant hundreds digit; additionally, 101-108 displays as
+ 101-08, deliberately retaining leading zeroes. FIXME: This feature is not yet
+ correctly applied to some date ranges, as for the eventdate field.
+- Added pluralization to number marker, showing "nos. 3-4" instead of "no. 3-4."
+- Added missing support for subtitles in some entry types.
+- Added "website" entrysubtype to @online entries to display a title in
+ italics.
+- Added datebrackets entry option to support showing date as something added.
+- Fixed some repeating fields.
+- Fixed the format of some titles presented with \citetitle differing from how
+ they're shown in citations.
+- Fixed the ordering of name suffixes like "Jr" in the bibliography.
+- In citations, support the "totalnames" entry option to allow citations to
+ match bibliography entries beyond the typical maximum number.
+- In the bibliography, print only the last name of book editor / book translator
+ who is also the author of the entry (e.g., an editor's foreword).
+- Added support for named issues of periodicals that aren't special issues
+ (e.g., for comic books).
+- Added support for automatic combining of editor and translator without needing
+ to call the editor before the translator and without needing to set
+ "editortype = {editortr}".
+- Defined revsdnamedelim as comma and improved spacing around slash when
+ crediting multiple publishers.
+- Added context shifting for comma before et al: When names are "Last, First"
+ the phrase should now be preceded by a comma, and when names are "First Last"
+ it should not be.
+- Added support for including a url in a book entry.
+- Fixed placement of named series.
+- Uodated the bibstrings for English, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese. (The
+ non-English strings should still be verified by someone with knowledge of these
+ languages.) By default, Biblatex-mla adopts the unabbreviated bibstrings
+ provided by Biblatex. A number of bibstrings have been newly added or modified
+ in this release where needed. See the english-mla.lbx file for details of
+ additions and changes.
+- BREAKING: @video and @movie are no longer aliases for each other. The first of
+ these is now reserved for shorter videos with titles that should be placed in
+ quotation marks (e.g., a YouTube video or a TV episode), while the latter is
+ reserved for works with titles that belong in italics (e.g., a feature-length
+ film).
+- BREAKING: Dropped styling for @proceedings titles. Define the "booktitle"
+ field for @proceedings published as books.
+
Changelog for version 2.0
- changes for compatibility with the 9th edition of the MLA handbook, which is
very similar to that of the 8th edition; call "style=mla" to use the new
