+Release notes for version 0.9.5a [2010-09-07]:
+
+ - This fixes an elementary and show-stopping mistake in
+ biblatex-chicago.sty, a mistake disguised if you use the csquotes
+ package, which I do in all my test files. Many thanks to Israel
+ Jacques and Emil Salim for pointing this out to me.
+
+ - These files have now been tested with biblatex 0.9c and 0.9d, which
+ both work fine.
+
+Release notes for version 0.9.5 [2010-09-03]:
+
+Users upgrading from biblatex-chicago-notes-df may need to alter a few
+things in their .bib files and in their document preambles.
+
+ - If you used \usepackage{biblatex-chicago} to load the package, now
+ you need \usepackage[notes]{biblatex-chicago} instead. (The
+ default if you don't choose between "notes" and "authordate" is, in
+ fact, "notes," so even if you don't make this change it should all
+ still work.)
+
+ - If you used \usepackage[style=chicago-notes-df]{biblatex} to load
+ the package, then be aware that you now need style=chicago-notes
+ (or style=chicago-authordate) instead.
+
+ - If you are still, for some reason, using the \custpunctc macro in
+ your .bib files, it is now obsolete. Its function has been taken
+ by the punctuation-tracking code present in biblatex for a long
+ while now.
+
+ - I have slightly improved the Misc entry type that uses an
+ "entrysubtype." If you are citing archival letters or other
+ letter-like sources (memoranda, reports, telegrams), then you're
+ already using the "origdate" field, and that's still correct. If
+ you're citing non-letter-like sources (interviews, wills,
+ contracts, personal communications received by yourself), then
+ putting the date into the "date" field will slightly improve
+ compliance with the specification, at least as I interpret it.
+ Nothing untoward will happen if you don't make this change, and the
+ distinction can be difficult to draw, but it needed mentioning
+ nonetheless.
+
+ - I've improved the "number" field in Article, Periodical, and Review
+ entries. You can now put a series or range of numbers into the
+ field and the style will print them prefixed by the appropriate
+ bibstring, singular or plural.
+
+ - I've improved author-less Manual, Article, and Review entries (the
+ latter two with magazine "entrysubtype"). In previous releases of
+ biblatex-chicago-notes-df you needed a "shortauthor" field to make
+ sure either the "organization" (in Manual entries) or the
+ "journaltitle" (in Article and Review entries) appeared in short
+ notes. The style now automatically takes a name for short notes
+ from those fields, though you can still use "shortauthor" if you
+ wish to present it differently, e.g., in an abbreviated form.
+ Again, you probably needn't change anything in your .bib files, but
+ being aware of this may make entries simpler to construct in the
+ future.
+
+ - I've marked the Custom[A-C] entry types as deprecated, in
+ preparation for reusing them for other purposes in the next major
+ release. Please change CustomA to Letter, CustomB to BookInBook,
+ and CustomC to SuppBook in your .bib files.
+
+Other changes in 0.9.5:
+
+ - The Chicago author-date style is now implemented in the package,
+ and therefore the package name has changed to biblatex-chicago. A
+ number of the files inside the package also have altered names --
+ the README file and biblatex-chicago.pdf contain the complete list.
+
+ - I've now implemented the biblatex field "pubstate" in both styles.
+ In the author-date style, it is strongly recommended you use it to
+ identify reprints by putting the string "reprint" there. The
+ requirements for formatting such entries are relatively complex,
+ and the style does the right thing automatically. In the notes &
+ bibliography style, you can also use the field in the same way to
+ identify reprints, though placing the \reprint macro in the
+ "location" field still works as it always has. Don't, please, use
+ both methods in the same entry.
+
+ - I've improved the functioning of Patent entries to make them more
+ compliant with the specification.
+
+ - Entries with a classical "entrysubtype" may behave slightly
+ differently now, as I've improved the provision of punctuation
+ before certain kinds of page or location specifiers even when
+ citing works by their traditional divisions. This should, once
+ again, make the package more compliant.
+
+Release notes for version 0.9a [2010-03-20]:
+
+ - Small, quick fixes for immediate compatibility with biblatex 0.9a.
+
+Release notes for version 0.9 [2010-03-18]:
+
+As I noted in the README file, users will have to modify their .bib
+files somewhat to work properly with this release of biblatex-chicago.
+Some of these changes result from the disappearance of certain fields
+in biblatex itself -- particularly the "day" and "origyear" fields --
+so you should at least skim through Lehman's RELEASE file first to
+familiarize yourself with what it means for your setup. The changes
+required for Chicago are as follows:
+
+ - In CustomA (Letter) entries, the counter-intuitive reversal of
+ roles between "year" and "origyear" has been eliminated. In common
+ with other entry types, the "year" (or "date") field now refers to
+ the publication date of the collection. The new "origdate" field
+ now holds the date the letter was written. In short, change the
+ "date" (or "year," "month," and "day") to "origdate," and change
+ "origyear" to "year" (or "date").
+
+ - In Misc entries with an "entrysubtype," used to cite unpublished
+ sources from a named archive, exactly the same reversal of roles
+ was in place, and is now eliminated. The new "origdate" field now
+ holds the date the letter was written or the interview conducted,
+ so change the "date" (or "year," "month," and "day") to "origdate."
+ (Under most circumstances, therefore, such entries won't have a
+ "date" field defined.) Also, the use of the exact string "letter"
+ in the "entrysubtype" field is no longer required. Using
+ "origdate" prints the date where you want it, so anything at all in
+ "entrysubtype" will do the trick, with "letter" being as good as
+ anything else, meaning you don't actually have to modify this
+ field.
+
+ - In Patent entries, you need to make similar changes. The
+ "origdate" field now holds the date the patent was filed, and the
+ "date" field identifies when the patent was granted, if it was
+ granted. You no longer need a specially-formatted "addendum" field
+ for these entries. In short, change the "date" (or "year,"
+ "month," and "day") to "origdate," and put the date from the
+ "addendum" field into "date." Any supplemental information you
+ want printed after the dates of the patent can still be given in
+ the "addendum" field, but most such entries won't require this.
+
+ - The "userd" field is now obsolete. If by some chance you are still
+ using it, please move any information found there into the
+ "edition" field.
+
+Other changes in 0.9:
+
+ - Added the files cms-german.lbx (with its clone cms-ngerman.lbx) and
+ cms-french.lbx, which allow the creation of Chicago-like references
+ in those languages.
+
+ - Added the package option "annotation" to allow the creation of
+ annotated bibliographies.
+
+ - Added the new biblatex BookInBook entry type, which functions as an
+ alias to CustomB.
+
+ - Following biblatex's example, using the editortype field now turns
+ off the package's usual string concatenation mechanisms.
+
+ - Added support for the new editor[a-c] and editor[a-c]type fields,
+ which function as they do in the standard biblatex styles.
+
+ - My modified csquotes.cfg file is now obsolete, and has been removed
+ from the package. Please upgrade to the latest version of
+ csquotes.
+
+ - Added bibstrings to help with internationalization. The new ones
+ you might use in a .bib file are: pseudonym, nodate,
+ revisededition, numbers, and reviewof.
+
+Changelog for version 0.8.9d [2010-02-16]:
+
+ - Bug fix release, the last in the 0.8.9 series, intended for use
+ with biblatex 0.8i, _not_ with 0.9. See note above.
+
+Changelog for version 0.8.9c [2009-11-04]:
+
+ - Bug fix release. The details are in biblatex-chicago-notes-df.pdf.
+
+Changelog for version 0.8.9b [2009-09-09]:
+
+ - Fixed several bugs, both recent and venerable. Please upgrade to
+ the latest version of biblatex (0.8h at time of writing), though I
+ have attempted to maintain backward compatibility at least with
+ 0.8e.
+
+ - Experimental version of the "reprinttitle" field, which allows you
+ to provide original publication details of essays or chapters you
+ are citing from a later reprint. See the pdf file for all the
+ details.
+
+Changelog for version 0.8.9a [2009-07-05]:
+
+ - Minor fixes to allow compatibility with biblatex 0.8e. The package
+ still works with 0.8d and 0.8c, as well.
+
+Changelog for version 0.8.9 [2009-07-02]:
+
+ - The default way of loading the package has changed. Please see the
+ documentation for all the details, but in short, if you used to
+ load it with a command like:
+
+ \usepackage[style=chicago-notes-df,further-options]{biblatex}
+
+ you should now load it like so:
+
+ \usepackage[further-options]{biblatex-chicago}
+
+ - All single-letter bibstrings are now obsolete. Please use \autocap
+ instead
+
+ - You should be using at least biblatex version 0.8c. 0.8d would be
+ even better.
+
+ - The package-specific bibstrings have been removed from the .cbx and
+ .bbx files and gathered in a new file, cms-american.lbx. This
+ changes somewhat the way the package interacts with babel, making
+ it simpler if you want the defaults, but more complicated if you
+ require non-standard features. In short, assuming you use the
+ default loading option I've just described, then babel's main text
+ language can be american or english, or alternately you can turn
+ off babel altogether, and the strings should be available
+ automatically.
+
+ - Added two new entry types, Artwork and Image.
+
+ - Added a new bibliography and entry option usecompiler, set to true
+ by default in biblatex-chicago.sty.
+
+ - Added the new bibliography option footmarkoff to
+ biblatex-chicago.sty. This turns off the optional formatting of
+ marks (in-line instead of superscript) on foot- or endnotes,
+ returning you to the LaTeX defaults.
+
+ - Added the new citation command \headlesscite, which works like
+ \headlessfullcite but allows biblatex to decide whether to print
+ the full or the short version of the reference.
+
+ - Adopted biblatex's end-of-entry punctuation system, which fixes
+ issues several users have been seeing with the solution I offered
+ in previous releases.
+
+ - Added a modified csquotes.cfg file (in the XeLaTeX subdirectory) to
+ address issues users were having when using XeLaTeX with
+ biblatex-chicago. Please see the docs for the details.
+
+ - Added a new shorthandibid option that allows you to print "Ibid."
+ after repeated references to an entry which contains a shorthand
+ field. Previously, the shorthand itself would always be printed,
+ and this behavior remains the default if you don't set this option.
+
+ - Added a clone of biblatex's natbib option, so that users who use
+ \usepackage{biblatex-chicago} instead of \usepackage{biblatex} can
+ still have access to the biblatex's natbib compatibility code in
+ bibnatex.def.
+
+Changelog for version 0.8.5a [2009-06-14]:
+
+ - Quick and dirty fix to allow compatibility with biblatex 0.8d.
+
+Changelog for version 0.8.5 [2009-01-10]:
+
+ - At least version 0.8b of biblatex now required -- even better, get
+ the latest (0.8c).
+
+ - Adopted the "American" punctuation tracker provided by biblatex,
+ which fixes many small formatting errors and eliminates the need
+ for \custpunct commands, but requires that you use \mkbibquote when
+ quoted material appears inside a bibliography field.
+
+ - Loading babel with "American" as the main text language now
+ _strongly_ recommended.
+
+ - The CustomC entry type now allows referencing any sort of post- or
+ pre-matter via the type field, though the old mechanism remains in
+ place for backward compatibility. The new SuppBook and
+ SuppCollection entry types are aliased to CustomC, and therefore
+ work in exactly the same way.
+
+ - The new SuppPeriodical entry type is aliased to Review, and Letter
+ to CustomA.
+
+ - For InReference entries the postnote field of a citation command is
+ now automatically treated as an alphabetized encyclopedia entry,
+ that is, it will be placed in quotation marks and prefaced with the
+ string "s.v." This may allow multiple citations of the same
+ reference work without multiplying .bib entries.
+
+ - The biblatex option "usetranslator" is now set to "true" by
+ default, which means entries will automatically be alphabetized by
+ their translator in the absence of an author or an editor.
+
+ - I've added some color-coding to biblatex-chicago-notes-df.pdf to
+ highlight new or significantly revised sections.
+
+Changelog for version 0.8.2.2 [2008-11-24]:
+
+ - Fixed spurious commas in some bibliography entries.
+
+Changelog for version 0.8.2 [2008-11-03]:
+
+ - Fixed several formatting glitches between citations in multicite
+ commands and also after some prenotes.
+
+Changelog for version 0.8.1 [2008-10-22]:
+
+ - Updated the .bbx and .cbx files to work with biblatex 0.8. This
+ most recent version of biblatex is now required for
+ biblatex-chicago-notes-df to work.
+
+ - The origlocation field is now obsolete, and has been replaced by
+ lista. Please update your .bib files accordingly.
+
+ - The single-letter \bibstring commands I provided in version 0.7 are
+ now deprecated. In most cases, you'll be able to take advantage of
+ the automatic contextual capitalization facilities introduced in
+ this release, but if you still need the single-letter \bibstring
+ functionality then you should switch to \autocap, as I shall be
+ removing the single-letter bibstrings in a future release. See the
+ \autocap docs for all the details.
+
+ - The userd field is now deprecated, as biblatex 0.8 allows all forms
+ of data to be included in the edition field. I shall be removing
+ userd in a future release, so please update your .bib files as soon
+ as is convenient.
+
+ - Added the usera field, which holds supplemental information about a
+ journaltitle in article and review entries. See the documentation
+ of the field for details.
+
+ - Other minor fixes and additions. See the full changelog for more.
+
+Changelog for version 0.7 [2008-08-18]:
