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]: + + - First public release + +Copyright (c) 2008-2010 David Fussner. This package is +author-maintained.
