-** Bug fix release
+# 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. 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 will 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 `*`

   allow multiple definitions which can be referred to at different scopes.
