Biber is now based on Perl 5.14 + with full Unicode 6.0 support. There's a bunch of other + improvements -- see the Biber manual for details. + +* XDATA containers [Biber only] + + This release introduces the new @xdata entry type and the + corresponding xdata field. Essentially, the idea is that you can + dump frequently used data into an @xdata entry and reference that + where needed. It's a bit like crossref but doesn't imply any + logical (parent/child) relation. Or, to put it differently, it's a + bit like @string but covers more than one field. See the changelog + for pointers. + +* Extended option scoping [Biber only] + + The package options related to name/list truncation and name + disambiguation are now conveniently settable globally/per-type/ + per-entry. See the changelog for details. There's also a new + appendix with an overview of the scope of all options. + +* Field formats for dates + + \printdate and friends now support 'virtual' field formats for all + dates. So, even though there is no 'date' field on the LaTeX end + of the workflow (only year/month/day and endyear/endmonth/endday), + you may now say: + + \DeclareFieldFormat{date}{\textbf{#1}} + + to print the date in boldface, for example. Technically, this is + equivalent to: + + \DeclareFieldFormat{date}{\textbf{#1}} + \printtext[date]{\printdate} + + except that it is readily built into \printdate. + +* Last-resort breakpoints for \url + + URLs and DOIs consisting mostly or entirely of letters and numbers + may run into the margin if the \url command can't find suitable + breakpoints. I've introduced additional breakpoints after all + numbers and letters in the previous biblatex release in order to + deal with particularly nasty DOIS, but this turned out to be to + brute a solution. + + To provide the best of both worlds, this release adds counters + which control the penalties associated with the additional + breakpoints. They are disabled by default but may be helpful (as a + last resort) if you need to deal with long and/or tricky DOIs. See + 'biburlnumpenalty' etc. in the manual for details. If you want to + enable the additional breakpoints, use high penalties; e.g.: + + \setcounter{biburlnumpenalty}{9000} + +* Language support + + Oleg Domanov contributed support for Russian. Note that the + Russian module requires UTF-8. Pieter Belmans updated the Dutch + language module. RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 1.6 |
