+# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.10
+- **INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE** The recent ISO8601:201x standard supersedes
+ the draft EDTF (Extended Date Time Format) extensions. Biblatex therefore
+ now supports the ISO8601-2 Clause 4, Level 1 Extended Format which is
+ equivalent to the draft EDTF standard but with different syntax. *This
+ syntax is in some cases not backwards compatible*. Biblatex will not
+ support backwards compatibility for the draft EDTF syntax because it is
+ too messy to do so and few people were using this anyway since it is a
+ relatively new and specialised feature. Please note these syntax changes
+ which effect only the formatting of DATE fields in bibliography datasources:
+ - The "unspecified" marker "u" is now "X"
+ - An approximate+uncertain date is now indicated with "%" rather than "?~"
+ - Open dates are now marked with ".." instead of "open" or blank
+ start/end dates.
+ - Unknown dates are now indicated by blank start/end dates rather than
+ "unknown" or "*"
+- Unicode support code that is problematic for non-Unicode engines,
+ but useful for XeTeX and LuaTeX now resides in `blx-unicode.def`.
+ That file is only read by XeTeX and LuaTeX.
+- The option `noerroretextools` demotes the incompatibility error for
+ `etextools` to a mere warning if set to `true`. Users still need
+ to make sure that `\forlistloop` has the definition from `etoolbox`
+ and not the completely incompatible definition from `etextools`.
+ This option is meant as a last resort for people who must at all
+ costs load `etextools` or a package that uses it.
+ `noerroretextools=true` will always cause a warning even if
+ `etextools` is not loaded.
+
# RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 3.9
## Bug fix release
- Fix `\mkpagetotal`
- Fix issue with refcontexts not appearing in some circumstances
-- ** DEPRECATION NOTICE ** The coming update to the ISO8601 standard
- supercedes the draft EDTF (Extended Date Time Format) extensions.

- support the ISO8601-2 Clause 4, Level 1 Extended Format which is
- equivalent to the draft EDTF standard but with different syntax. This
- syntax is in some cases not backwards compatible. Biblatex will not
- support backwards compatibility for the draft EDTF syntax because it is
- too messy to do so and few people were using this anyway since it is a
- relatively new and specialised feature. Please note these syntax changes

- datasources:
- - The "unspecified" marker `u` is now `X`
- - An approximate+uncertain date is now indicated with `%` rather than `?~`
- - Open dates are now marked with `..` instead of `open` or blank start/end dates.
