+Release notes for version 1.0rc2 [2017-03-26]:
+
+This is an interim release designed mainly to fix a number of subtle
+issues, pointed out by several users, that appear when you use the
+newest version of biblatex (3.7). These were mostly concentrated in
+the date-handling code, which I believe now behaves correctly, and
+should do both with the newest biblatex and with somewhat older
+releases. A much larger set of new features is still pending, but I
+have fixed some other bugs and added a few new options:
+
+ - J. P. E. Harper-Scott pointed out that, in ordinary British usage,
+ day numbers are presented as plain cardinals rather than ordinals.
+ The Manual itself also prefers this format, not only for
+ American-style dates but also for British ones, so I think the
+ previous behavior of the package was a bug. I have in both styles
+ set the default presentation of British day numerals to be plain
+ cardinals, providing a new preamble option "ordinalgb" restoring
+ the previous default and printing ordinal dates when using the
+ "british" language with Babel.
+
+ - I have, in both styles, attempted to provide an improved \partedit
+ macro, the old one being inconvenient for users writing in French.
+ The new macro should work now without manual intervention to
+ provide the correct form of the preposition (de or d'). If you are
+ using the "french" option to Babel, please take care to remove any
+ hand-formatting you might have provided in these contexts.
+
+ - Jan David Hauck has both reported a bug in the \gentextcite code in
+ the author-date styles and also pointed me to its solution, as
+ provided by moewe on Stackexchange. It turned out there were other
+ bugs in that code, now also fixed.
+
+ - User laudecir requested a way to present a "shorthand" even in the
+ first citation of a given work. The new "shorthandfirst" option in
+ the notes & bibliography style can be set to "true" either in the
+ preamble or in individual entries, and should make this
+ functionality simpler to activate than the \shorthandcite command.
+
+ - Also in the notes & bibliography style, Stefan Björk requested a
+ way to turn off the printing of "url," "doi," and "eprint"
+ information in notes but not in the bibliography. The new
+ "urlnotes" option, which you can set to "false" in the preamble or
+ in individual entries, provides this. Please note that it does not
+ apply to Online entries.
+
+ - Several users pointed out the presence of warnings in .log files
+ caused by deprecated grammar in the default Sorting Schemes of both
+ styles. These should now be fixed.
