IMPORTANT NOTE:
This is the package formerly known as biblatex-chicago-notes-df. It
-has now been upgraded to work with version 2.5 of biblatex. It
-contains both the 15th- and 16th-edition Chicago style files, though I
-am now marking the 15th-edition styles as "deprecated" and am
-concentrating my development time on the 16th edition. If you have
-used the package before, then you should be sure to consult the
-RELEASE file to find out what alterations you may need to make to your
-.bib files and document preambles to bring them up to date. Most
-particularly please note that Biber is now required for the
-author-date style (version 1.5 if you are using the latest biblatex,
-0.9.8 or 0.9.9 if you are still using biblatex 1.7).
