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. - When the new ISO8601 standard is public, biblatex will therefore - support the ISO8601-2 Clause 4, Level 1 Extended Format which is - equivalent to the draft EDTF standard but with different syntax.
