+Release notes for version 0.9.9d [2013-10-30]:
+
+ - I am marking the 15th-edition styles as "strongly deprecated." I
+ recommend that you switch to one of the 16th-edition styles as soon
+ as is practicable. The older styles still work, but in the next
+ major release I shall mark them as "obsolete," and cease updating
+ them.
+
+There are four changes in this release that may, depending on various
+factors, require alterations in your documents or .bib files:
+
+ - Following requests by Kenneth L. Pearce and Bertold Schweitzer, I
+ have modified and extended the mechanism for creating abbreviated
+ citations when several parts of the same collection are included in
+ a reference apparatus. To the InCollection, InProceedings, and
+ Letter entries of previous releases, I have added InBook, Book,
+ BookInBook, Collection, and Proceedings entries. Only InBook
+ entries join the former three in having this functionality turned
+ on by default --- if you don't want this, it will require
+ intervention either in the preamble or in the "options" field of
+ individual entries. This intervention will be via the new
+ "longcrossref" option, which controls the behavior of the four
+ essay-like entry types and defaults to "false," while the new
+ "booklongxref" option controls the four book-like types and
+ defaults to "true." The useful settings for the options differ
+ slightly between the author-date and the notes & bibliography
+ specifications, so please see all the details in the docs of the
+ "crossref" field in sections 4.2 and 5.2 of biblatex-chicago.pdf.
+
+ - On the same subject, in the notes & bibliography style, I should
+ mention that in the first, full citation of one part of a
+ collection in a note, the code no longer uses a separate citation
+ of the parent entry to supply parts of what you see printed. (This
+ led to numerous inaccuracies.) If your setup uses a side-effect of
+ the old code to print data that hasn't even been inherited by the
+ child, you may find that you need to change some "xref" fields to
+ "crossref" fields to make it work correctly now. This situation
+ will, I imagine, be very rare, but you can look at white:ross:memo
+ in notes-test.bib to see an example.
+
+ - In the author-date styles, several users have been frustrated by
+ the lack of an approved way of setting the "cmsdate" option in the
+ preambles of their documents, and Kenneth L. Pearce requested that
+ I attempt to ease the burden on users by looking at this again.
+ With this release, you can now set "cmsdate" either to "both" or
+ "on" in the preamble, and it will affect all entries (except Music,
+ Review, and Video) with multiple dates. You can still change this
+ setting in the "options" field of individual entries, but what you
+ won't be able to change there is the new call to \DeclareLabeldate
+ which puts the "origdate" first in the list of dates when Biber
+ searches for a "labelyear" to use in citations and in the list of
+ references. If you have been using the "switchdates" mechanism to
+ get the "origdate" as the "labeldate," your .bib files may need
+ some editing in order to use the new preamble options. Please see
+ the documentation of the "date" field in section 5.2 of
+ biblatex-chicago.pdf for all the (voluminous) details.
+
+ - Following a request by Rasmus Pank Rouland, I adapted new biblatex
+ code in the \textcite(s) commands in all styles to make them fit
+ more elegantly in the flow of text. Upon reconsideration of the
+ commands in the notes & bibliography style, I slightly modified
+ them, but _only_ when used inside a foot- or endnote. In this
+ context, by default, for both \textcite and \textcites, you'll now
+ get the author's name(s) followed by a headless _short_ citation
+ (or citations) placed within parentheses. You can use
+ \renewcommand in the preamble of your document to redefine the new
+ \foottextcite and \foottextcites commands to change this
+ formatting. See section 4.3.1 of biblatex-chicago.pdf.
+
+Other New Features:
+
+ - This release includes support, in all styles, for biblatex's
+ multi-volume entry types: MVBook, MVCollection, MVProceedings, and
+ MVReference.
+
+ - If you use Biber, I have added several new inheritance schemes to
+ all styles to make cross-referenced entries work more smoothly:
+ InCollection entries can now inherit from MVBook just as they do
+ from MVCollection entries; Letter entries now inherit from Book,
+ Collection, MVBook, and MVCollection entries the same way an InBook
+ or an InCollection entry would; the "namea," "nameb," "sortname,"
+ "sorttitle," and "sortyear" fields, all highly single-entry
+ specific, are no longer inheritable; and the "date" and "origdate"
+ fields of any MV* entry will _not_ be inherited by any other entry
+ type.
+
+ - Following a bug report by Henry D. Hollithron, I've added to
+ Unpublished entries in all styles the possibility of including an
+ "editor," "translator," etc.
+
+ - Thanks to bug reports from Denis Maier and Bertold Schweitzer, I
+ corrected inaccuracies and outright bugs in many entry types in all
+ Chicago styles that appeared when there was a "booktitle" and not a
+ "maintitle" or vice versa. This also involved another rewrite of
+ the code handling the "volume" field and other related fields in
+ all non-periodical entry types that use them.
+
+ - On the subject of the "volume" field, I added a new preamble and
+ entry option, "delayvolume," to the notes & bibliography style. In
+ long notes where this data isn't printed before a "maintitle," this
+ option allows you to print it _after_ the publication information
+ rather than _before_ it, as may sometimes help clarify things,
+ according to the Manual. This applies to the non-periodical entry
+ types only.
+
+ - On the same subject, in all styles, I have added a new preamble and
+ entry option, "hidevolumes." This controls whether, in entries
+ where a "volume" has been printed before a "maintitle," any
+ "volumes" field present will also be printed, in this case _after_
+ the "maintitle." By default, this is set to "true," so that the
+ "volumes" field won't appear in such circumstances.
+
+ - On the same subject, I have modified, in all styles, the field
+ format for the "part" field, so that if the field contains
+ something other than a number, biblatex-chicago will print it as
+ is, capitalizing it if necessary, rather than supplying the usual
+ bibstring, thus providing a mechanism for altering the string to
+ your liking. I have also decoupled the "part" field from the
+ "volume" field, allowing it to be printed even in the absence of
+ the latter, thereby providing a means to refer to segments of a
+ larger work that don't easily fit the established schemes. The
+ iso:electrodoc entry in dates-test.bib shows an example of how this
+ might work.
+
+ - There is a new "omitxrefdate" preamble and entry option in the
+ notes & bibliography style. It turns off the printing of the
+ child's "date" next to its "title" in abbreviated book-like entries
+ _only_, in both notes and bibliography.
+
+ - Clea F. Rees requested a way to customize the punctuation when a
+ volume and a page number appear together like so: "2:204." You can
+ use \renewcommand in your preamble to redefine the new
+ \postvolpunct command to achieve this, in all styles. If your
+ document language is French, cms-french.lbx redefines this already
+ and prints something like "2 : 204."
+
+ - I extended, in all styles, the functions of the "userd" field,
+ allowing it to modify a "date" field if it hasn't already been
+ captured by another date specification in the entry.
+
+ - A bug report from Mathias Legrand helped clear up inaccuracies in
+ the presentation of ordinal numbers in all styles.
+
+ - For the author-date styles, another bug report by Kenneth Pearce
+ resulted in the addition of the "labelyear" to the default "cms"
+ sorting scheme so that more entries in the reference list are
+ sorted properly without further user intervention.
+
+ - George Pigman found an odd punctuation-tracking bug in the
+ author-date styles. This has been fixed.
+
+ - Marc Sommer found a bug in the presentation of the "prenote" field
+ in the author-date styles. This has been fixed.
+
+ - In the notes & bibliography style, I improved the behavior of
+ abbreviated foot- and endnotes when using the hyperref package.
+
+ - I modified the date-presentation code in all the language files
+ (cms-*.lbx) provided by the package. Now, if an entry contains a
+ "(*)year" and an "(*)endyear" that are exactly the same, and there
+ aren't any further month or day specifications, then the "(*)year"
+ alone will be printed. This allows for the clearing of spurious
+ "(*)endyears" inherited from parent entries.
+
+ - I discovered some unpleasant side effects of my arrangement of the
+ .lbx files devoted to Norwegian, and reverted to the arrangement as
+ originally provided by Håkon Malmedal.
