+\begin{itemize}
+\item This is an interim bug-fix release, updating the styles so that
+ they will work with \textsf{biblatex} 3.3. The notes \&\
+ bibliography style, as pointed out by several users, wouldn't
+ compile at all with the newest \textsf{biblatex} version, and all
+ styles had inaccuracies in the presentation of names due to changes
+ in the name-handling code in \textsf{biblatex}. I've done some
+ testing against \textsf{biblatex} 3.3, and fixed all the errors I've
+ spotted, but there may still be parts of my code that need updating
+ to work well with the current version, so you can still downgrade to
+ an earlier \textsf{biblatex} --- I recommend 2.9a --- if 3.3 doesn't
+ work for you. The next release will be a feature release, so if
+ you've made a request, it should be fulfilled then.
+
+\item I've also fixed a couple of long-standing bugs, one in the entry
+ options controlling abbreviated cross-references and another in the
+ formatting of the \textsf{prenote} field, the latter identified
+ (ages ago) by Bernd Rellermeyer.
