+Release notes for version 0.9.9c [2013-03-15]:
+
+ - I am marking the 15th-edition styles as "deprecated." I recommend
+ that you switch to one of the 16th-edition styles as soon as is
+ practicable. The older styles still work, but haven't received any
+ updates or bug fixes for this release.
+
+ - Antti-Juhani Kaijahano has very kindly provided a new Finnish
+ localization for biblatex-chicago, called cms-finnish.lbx. As you
+ will see if you look through it, it is still something of a work in
+ progress. If you would like to fill some of its lacunae, please do
+ let me know.
+
+ - Following a report by Bertold Schweitzer, I have added the "namea"
+ and "nameb" fields to Article and Review entries in all three
+ 16th-edition Chicago styles. As in all the book-like entry types,
+ they allow you to associate an editor or a translator specifically
+ with a "title" rather than, in these cases, with an "issuetitle."
+ See the docs on these entry types in sections 4.1 and 5.1 in
+ biblatex-chicago.pdf.
+
+ - Thanks to another report by Bertold I have, in all three
+ 16th-edition Chicago styles, corrected inaccuracies in the
+ presentation of the Report entry type. The "number" now appears
+ immediately after the "type," and the "type" itself is now
+ capitalized properly depending on its context in an entry.
+
+ - A third report by Bertold, detailing inaccuracies in the treatment
+ of the "volume" and "volumes" fields in certain contexts, has
+ resulted in a complete rewrite of the presentation of these (and
+ several related) fields in all non-periodical entry types in all
+ three 16th-edition Chicago styles. This won't require any changes
+ to your .bib files, but the output you see may, in some reasonably
+ unusual situations, change. Please let me know if something
+ doesn't look right to you.
+
+ - A fourth report by Bertold revealed some inadequacies with multiple
+ date presentation in the two 16th-edition author-date styles,
+ issues that particularly involved cross-referenced entries. In
+ addition to some general fixes in the code, I have also slightly
+ changed the functioning of the "cmsdate=both" and "cmsdate=on"
+ switches. If, and only if, a work has only one date, and there is
+ no "switchdates" in the "options" field, then "cmsdate=on" and
+ "cmsdate=both" will both result in the suppression of the
+ "extrayear" field in that entry. See the "date" field docs in
+ section 5.2 of biblatex-chicago.pdf.
+
+ - Following a report by Antti-Juhani Kaijahano, I have modified the
+ presentation of author-less Article and Review entries in the
+ reference list of both 16th-edition author-date styles. If such a
+ source had a "magazine" "entrysubtype," the styles would already
+ use the "journaltitle" at the head of the entry in the list of
+ references, but if there was no "entrysubtype" the entry would
+ appear in the list "date" first. Now, in keeping with the Manual
+ (14.175), the "title" will appear first, in both reference lists
+ and in-text citations. See especially under Article in section 5.1
+ of biblatex-chicago.pdf.
+
+ - Several users have pointed out annoying formatting errors in the
+ 16th-edition styles. Evan Cortens spotted two bugs in the notes &
+ bibliography style, one of which, under various circumstances,
+ introduced extra spaces into long notes and the other of which
+ affected the formatting of the "type" field in Thesis entries. I
+ have fixed both, also applying the latter fix to several other
+ entry types that use the "type" field. Bertold Schweitzer pointed
+ out a formatting bug with the "issuesubtitle" field in the
+ author-date style, now fixed. Mark Sprevak reported some spurious
+ spaces appearing in headers and footers when using the titleps
+ package; the culprits were errors in the cms-*.lbx files, now
+ cleaned up.
+
+ - I have rectified a number of other errors, in particular making the
+ automatic provision of abbreviated cross-references more robust in
+ InCollection, InProceedings, and Letter entries, improving the
+ behavior of the "postnote" field in certain corner cases, fixing
+ bugs in the handling of "pagination" and "bookpagination" fields,
+ and slightly altering the placement of the "addendum" field in
+ book-like entries to bring it closer to the Manual's specification.
+ A number of other, smaller improvements should also bring the
+ styles into closer conformity with the specification.
