+Release notes for version 0.9.7 [2011-02-15]:
+
+ - The CustomA and CustomB entry types are now obsolete. Any such
+ entry in your .bib files will be ignored. Please use Letter and
+ BookInBook, respectively.
+
+ - If you still have any CustomC entries containing introductions,
+ afterwords, or the like, please change them to SuppBook, as I have
+ reclaimed CustomC in order to provide alphabetized cross-references
+ to other, separate entries in a bibliography or list of references.
+
+ - The directory structure of the package archive has changed. I've
+ copied that used by the biblatex package, so now you will find a
+ latex/ directory with further bbx/, cbx/, and lbx/ subdirectories,
+ and a doc/ directory with an examples/ subdirectory. The files are
+ the same as in the previous release, merely organized differently.
+
+Other changes in 0.9.7:
+
+ - I have added three new audiovisual entry types to both styles,
+ Audio, Music, and Video. The documentation of Audio in sections
+ 4.1 and 5.1 of biblatex-chicago.pdf contains an overview of the
+ three, and the details for each type are to be found under their
+ individual headings.
+
+ - I have added several new bibstrings to the cms-*.lbx files for
+ these new audiovisual entry types. This means that the
+ "editortype" fields can now be set to "director," "producer," or
+ "conductor," depending on your needs. You can also set the fields
+ to "none," which eliminates all identifying strings, and which is
+ useful for identifying performers of various sorts.
+
+ - I have transformed the CustomC entry type to enable alphabetized
+ cross-references -- the "c" is meant to be mnemonic -- to other,
+ separate entries in a reference list or bibliography. In
+ particular, this facilitates cross-references to other names in a
+ list, rather than to other works. In author-date, in a procedure
+ recommended by the Manual, this now allows you to expand shorthands
+ inside the reference list rather than in a list of shorthands. In
+ both styles, you can now provide a pointer to the main entry if a
+ reader is looking an author up under, e.g., a pseudonym or other
+ alternative name.
+
+ - I have introduced the "userc" field, intended to simplify the
+ printing of the cross-references provided by CustomC entries. The
+ standard \nocite command works as well, but the additional
+ mechanism may be more convenient in some circumstances.
+
+ - You can now provide an "eventdate" field in Music entries to
+ identify, e.g., a particular recording session. It will be printed
+ just after the "title."
+
+ - In the notes & bibliography style, I have now implemented the
+ "shorthandintro" field, which allows you to change the string
+ introducing a shorthand in the first, long note. It works just as
+ it does in the standard biblatex styles.
+
+ - I have added six new field-exclusion options to both styles, all of
+ which can be set both in the document preamble and/or in the
+ "options" field of individual .bib entries. Three of these --
+ "doi," "isbn," and "url" -- are standard biblatex options, the
+ others -- "bookpages," "includeall," and "numbermonth" -- are
+ chicago-specific.
+
+ - I've added the "juniorcomma" option to both styles, which can be
+ set in the document preamble and/or in the "options" field of
+ individual entries. It allows you get the traditional comma
+ between a surname and "Jr." or "Sr."
+
+ - I fixed some old inaccuracies in the syntax of shortened notes and
+ bibliography entries presenting multiple contributions to one
+ multi-author (or single-author) volume. For the most part the
+ changes won't affect your .bib files, but there may be cases where
+ you need to choose your entry types carefully in order to get the
+ results you want. For the details, please consult the "crossref"
+ docs in section 4.2 of biblatex-chicago.pdf.
+
+ - Several other bug fixes -- see biblatex-chicago.pdf for details.
