+Release notes for version 0.9.9b [2012-12-06]:
+
+ - This release contains a new variant of the author-date style,
+ available as the "authordate-trad" option when loading
+ biblatex-chicago. This provides the traditional, plain,
+ pre-16th-edition Chicago title handling -- sentence-style
+ capitalization, absence of quotation marks in Article titles and
+ the like -- but in all other respects follows the 16th-edition
+ specification, as suggested by the Manual (15.45). Remember that
+ the "headline" package option can be used to turn off the automatic
+ sentence-style capitalization, meaning that titles will appear as
+ presented in the .bib file, at least as far as capitalization is
+ concerned. Please see especially the documentation under "title"
+ in section 5.2 of biblatex-chicago.pdf for the details.
+
+ - I have updated calls to \DeclareLabelname and \DeclareLabelyear in
+ several .cbx files so that the package works correctly with the
+ most recent version (2.4) of biblatex.
+
+ - Following a request by Norman Gray, and adapting code by Audrey
+ Boruvka, I have included a \textcite (and a \textcites) command in
+ the notes & bibliography style for the first time.
+
+ - Following a request by Daniel Possenriede, I have added in all
+ three 16th-edition styles a new switch, "only", to the "doi"
+ option, which prints the "doi" field when present and the "url"
+ field only when there is no "doi." The package default remains,
+ however, "true".
+
+ - I am grateful to Baldur Kristinsson for providing an Icelandic
+ localization file for biblatex-chicago, called cms-icelandic.lbx.
+ You'll see if you look through it that it is still something of a
+ work in progress, but it should cover most needs in that language
+ very well. If you would like to fill in some of the gaps please
+ let me know.
+
+ - I am also grateful to Håkon Malmedal for providing Norwegian
+ localizations for biblatex-chicago, contained in the files
+ cms-norsk.lbx, cms-norwegian.lbx, and cms-nynorsk.lbx.
+
+ - I have added a new British localization, cms-british.lbx. The
+ "british" option to babel should now work without further
+ intervention. For further details on the usage of all these
+ localizations please see section 6 of biblatex-chicago.pdf.
+
+ - Several users have reported a bug that resulted in doubled
+ bibstrings in certain contexts. This happened only when using
+ localizations for which biblatex-chicago didn't have explicit
+ support, and it should now be fixed.
+
+ - I have changed the way the 16th-edition author-date styles handle
+ the Ibidem mechanism. In the absence of a "postnote" field you no
+ longer get empty parentheses, but rather a standard in-text
+ citation. If you do have a "postnote" field, then only that will
+ appear.
