Most of +the big feature improvements are found in Biber. + +* Biber 0.8.3, Biber in TeX Live main. + + Update Biber to version 0.8.3 when upgrading to biblatex 1.3. Note + that Biber is now available from the main TeX Live repository. + This means that you don't need to point tlmgr to TLContrib any + more. It also implies that more architectures are supported. + +* Experimental Zotero and EndNote import [Biber only] + + Biber now features import support for the Zotero RDF/XML and + EndNote XML formats. See the Biber manual for details and caveats. + +* Fine-grained name delimiter/spacing controls [Biber only] + + The spacing between name parts and line breaks in names can now be + customized in great detail, especially with Biber. With BibTeX, + customization is much more limited but still possible to some + extent. See the manual for details. + +* Added citation counter + + As its name suggests, the new 'citecounter' feature counts + citations, i.e., it indicates how many times an entry is cited in + a reference section. The value of the 'citecounter' counter refers + to the total per-entry/per-refsection citation count. + + The counter works much like the citation trackers. It is useful + for styles which handle initial and repeated citations + differently. For example, you may want to suppress the + introduction of a shorthand of an entry in the initial citation if + it is cited only once anyway. + +* Added \smartcite command + + I've added a new citation command called \smartcite (along with + \Smartcite, \smartcites, etc.). Essentially, this is a \footcite + command which behaves like \parencite when used in a footnote. + It's particularly useful in conjunction with autocite=footnote as + it makes \autocite even more versatile. + + Style authors should note that the default setup for + autocite=footnote has been modified and now uses \smartcite + instead of \footcite. Providing a \smartcite command is + straightforward. In most cases, all you need to do in your style + is duplicate the definition of \footcite and adapt the wrapper + code like so: + + \DeclareCiteCommand{\smartcite} + [\iffootnote{\mkbibparens}{\mkbibfootnote}] + {...} + {...} + {...} + {...} RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 1.2 |
