I recommend + that you switch to one of the 16th-edition styles as soon as is + practicable. The older styles still work, but haven't received any + updates or bug fixes for this release. + + - Antti-Juhani Kaijahano has very kindly provided a new Finnish + localization for biblatex-chicago, called cms-finnish.lbx. As you + will see if you look through it, it is still something of a work in + progress. If you would like to fill some of its lacunae, please do + let me know. + + - Following a report by Bertold Schweitzer, I have added the "namea" + and "nameb" fields to Article and Review entries in all three + 16th-edition Chicago styles. As in all the book-like entry types, + they allow you to associate an editor or a translator specifically + with a "title" rather than, in these cases, with an "issuetitle." + See the docs on these entry types in sections 4.1 and 5.1 in + biblatex-chicago.pdf. + + - Thanks to another report by Bertold I have, in all three + 16th-edition Chicago styles, corrected inaccuracies in the + presentation of the Report entry type. The "number" now appears + immediately after the "type," and the "type" itself is now + capitalized properly depending on its context in an entry. + + - A third report by Bertold, detailing inaccuracies in the treatment + of the "volume" and "volumes" fields in certain contexts, has + resulted in a complete rewrite of the presentation of these (and + several related) fields in all non-periodical entry types in all + three 16th-edition Chicago styles. This won't require any changes + to your .bib files, but the output you see may, in some reasonably + unusual situations, change. Please let me know if something + doesn't look right to you. + + - A fourth report by Bertold revealed some inadequacies with multiple + date presentation in the two 16th-edition author-date styles, + issues that particularly involved cross-referenced entries. In + addition to some general fixes in the code, I have also slightly + changed the functioning of the "cmsdate=both" and "cmsdate=on" + switches. If, and only if, a work has only one date, and there is + no "switchdates" in the "options" field, then "cmsdate=on" and + "cmsdate=both" will both result in the suppression of the + "extrayear" field in that entry. See the "date" field docs in + section 5.2 of biblatex-chicago.pdf. + + - Following a report by Antti-Juhani Kaijahano, I have modified the + presentation of author-less Article and Review entries in the + reference list of both 16th-edition author-date styles. If such a + source had a "magazine" "entrysubtype," the styles would already + use the "journaltitle" at the head of the entry in the list of + references, but if there was no "entrysubtype" the entry would + appear in the list "date" first. Now, in keeping with the Manual + (14.175), the "title" will appear first, in both reference lists + and in-text citations. See especially under Article in section 5.1 + of biblatex-chicago.pdf. + + - Several users have pointed out annoying formatting errors in the + 16th-edition styles. Evan Cortens spotted two bugs in the notes & + bibliography style, one of which, under various circumstances, + introduced extra spaces into long notes and the other of which + affected the formatting of the "type" field in Thesis entries. I + have fixed both, also applying the latter fix to several other + entry types that use the "type" field. Bertold Schweitzer pointed + out a formatting bug with the "issuesubtitle" field in the + author-date style, now fixed. Mark Sprevak reported some spurious + spaces appearing in headers and footers when using the titleps + package; the culprits were errors in the cms-*.lbx files, now + cleaned up. + + - I have rectified a number of other errors, in particular making the + automatic provision of abbreviated cross-references more robust in + InCollection, InProceedings, and Letter entries, improving the + behavior of the "postnote" field in certain corner cases, fixing + bugs in the handling of "pagination" and "bookpagination" fields, + and slightly altering the placement of the "addendum" field in + book-like entries to bring it closer to the Manual's specification. + A number of other, smaller improvements should also bring the + styles into closer conformity with the specification. + Release notes for version 0.9.9b [2012-12-06]: - This release contains a new variant of the author-date style, |
