implementing the 15th edition of \emph{The Chicago Manual of Style}.
This edition has been superseded by the 16th edition, documented in
\textsf{biblatex-chicago.pdf}. There may still be some users,
- however, who wish to continue using the 15th-edition styles, so I
- shall, at least for the moment, carry on maintaining them, though I
- am marking them as \enquote{mildly deprecated.} The main reason to
- continue using these files is perhaps a desire not to interrupt a
- work-in-progress. If you wish to use an author-date style with the
- traditional sentence-style capitalization (and absence of quotation
- marks) in titles, the new \mycolor{\textsf{authordate-trad}} style
- provides this while in all other respects adhering to the
- 16th-edition specification.\mylittlespace \\ I have not backported
- all improvements to the notes \&\ bibliography style, as the
- 16th-edition specification represents in itself an incremental
- upgrade which I encourage users of this style to adopt in their own
- time. The author-date style is more complicated. I have backported
- as many improvements as I can, and documented them here, but it
- still isn't an implementation of the 16th-edition style with
- 15th-edition title formatting, as provided by
- \mycolor{\textsf{authordate-trad}}. I encourage all author-date
- users, therefore, to adopt one of the newer styles in their own
- time. \mylittlespace \\ The package remains beta software. If it
- seems like it could be of use to you, yet it doesn't do something
- you need/want it to do, please feel free to let me know, and of
- course any suggestions for solving problems more elegantly or
- accurately would be most welcome.}
