The old name still works for backwards compat. This + field does a lot more than just selecting hyphenation patterns and was misleading. +* New field LANGIDOPTS for Polyglossia users allows specification of + language-specific options (like variants such as "american" english and + babelshorthands etc.). See the biblatex-examples.bib file which has been + converted to use the new field names and fields. +* "babel" option renamed to "autolang". Old name generates a warning but + still works. Since Polyglossia support now basically works, this name is now + too package specific. There is a new value "langname" for this option + which is Polyglossia only and allows the use of the main polyglossia language + switching environment which can use the options given in the LANGIDOPTS field. +* New value "year" for "datelabel" option +* New internal field "datelabelsource" for package authors specifies which + date field the datelabel was generated from. + RELEASE NOTES FOR VERSION 2.7a * Bugfix release for 2.7 |
