# Release Notes Versions of Windy City are indicated by release date. The most recent date below is the current version, which is available on [CTAN](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/windycity "CTAN: pkg/windycity"). Changes since then, if any, are listed below under "Latest" and indicate updates to Windy City's [repository on GitHub](https://github.com/brianchase/windycity "GitHub: brianchase/windycity"). ## 2019-07-17 * fixed always printing the `date` field in an American format, rather than in formats set in localization files * for documents not in English, check for `-windycity.lbx` and, if available, use it instead of `american-windycity.lbx` * defined `\textcite`, `\texcite*`, `\textcites` and `\textcites*` (useful for examples in *CMOS* 13.65) ## 2019-04-02 * fixed `\parencite` from printing a work's publication year twice under the preamble option `reflist` * fixed the failure of the 3-em dash to print in bibliographies when compiling with different languages * fixed `\autocite`; it should work for options `footnote`, `inline`, and `plain` and with all preamble options * defined `\smartcite`, `\smartcite*`, `\smartcites`, and `\smartcites*` ## 2019-03-27 * fixed a bug that could prevent names in the `editora` field from printing in the author's position * fixed typos that broke the `mathesis` entry type * fixed `mathesis` and `phdthesis` entry types so that they don't need a `type` field to distinguish the MA from the PhD (only the `thesis` entry type needs it) * improved support for newspapers and magazines with issue numbers (see updated documentation on how to implement it) * added support for citing a newspaper's edition, such as 'Sunday Book Review' ## 2019-02-21 * fixed reviews with titles * in reference lists, fixed `year` printing with `season` or `issue` * much improved format of unsigned reviews in bibliographies and reference lists, in part restoring previous work set aside * extended `swapvol` option to work with `letter`, `incollection`, `inbook`, and `bookinbook` entries that are cross-referenced to entries that work with `swapvol` (in effect, you can use `swapvol` not only with volumes in collections but with works in those volumes, such as chapters and articles) * improved handling of editors and translators, including support for translators of a `maintitle` * added `library` entry and preamble options to support the `library` field * extended `swapauth` to work with `mvbook` and `mvcollection` entries * added support for `\iffieldbibstring` in processing `edition` and `type` fields * other bug fixes ## 2019-01-31 * added limited support for citing web pages and social media content * added `listvols` entry option (see documentation) * added `skipdate` entry option (see documentation) * significant changes for tighter control of punctuation, among other things fixing the previous use of `postpunct` * fixed printing of publication dates for some reports * fixed `nameaddon` not printing after a 3-em dash in bibliographies (presumably, screen names should also print in this context; they do now) * fixed a show-stopping bug in reference lists caused by the previous fix to `nameaddon` * fixed reprints, cross-referencing in reference lists * other bug fixes ## 2019-01-18 * reversed default for collections, printing information for volumes first; the option to reverse this is called `swapvol` * changed option name `transfirst` to `swaptrans` * fixed punctuation before `postnote` of articles and reviews (ugh!) * changed processing of spacing and punctuation around `postnote` for all citations * added support for swapping the place of an author with an editor or translator, as in *CMOS* 14.104 * extended the previous to cover a similar case in *CMOS* 14.122 * improved handling of name lists and cross-referencing * removed no longer maintained citation commands * other bug fixes and housekeeping ## 2019-01-07 * major additions and changes for processing collections * fixed \parencite for unsigned articles * fixed \parencite for cross-referencing * fixed formatting of reviews * added support for `autopunct` option and `postpunct` field for better handling of punctuation after citation commands (e.g. `\cite{something}` will end with a period, while `\cite{something};` will end with a semicolon) * in light of the previous, changed \reprint command * added support for `shortjournal` field for parenthetical citations * simplified `parencite` and related macros * improved handling of `year`, `endyear`, `bookyear`, and `endbookyear` fields, ensuring that the publication date of the last mentioned work gets printed in bibliographies and reference lists * many bug fixes ##

2018-11-26 * fixed `noauth` entry option (it should only affect notes) * fixed `inst+loc+date` * following *CMOS*, made `cite:short` print just a work's title without the name of the collection * fixed name formatting for affixes like 'Jr.' in notes (no comma before them, unlike in bibliographies, where names are inverted) * limited support for copublication * limited support for publication times * added `\footcite*` command and updated documentation ##
