+RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 1.3
+
+The list of changes in Biblatex is fairly short this time. 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}]
+ {...}
+ {...}
+ {...}
+ {...}
