It +is intended for use only with the latest version of biblatex -- you +need at least version 0.9c, though 0.9d is current. If you have been +using biblatex-chicago-notes-df, then you should be sure to consult +the RELEASE file to find out what alterations you may need to make to +your .bib files and document preambles to bring them up to date. + +README (version 0.9.5a): + +Biblatex-chicago contains two biblatex styles implementing the +specifications of the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition. The +"notes & bibliography" style was formerly available in the package +biblatex-chicago-notes-df, and is intended primarily for writers in +the humanities. The "author-date" style is new to this release, and +is generally favored by writers in the sciences and social sciences. + +This is a beta release, but its feature set is already fairly +extensive. If you have used the package before under its old name you +may, after perusing the RELEASE file, want to look at the changelog at +the end of biblatex-chicago.pdf, which contains cross-references to +more detailed explanations about how this update will affect parts of +your .bib file. If you are just getting started, the best way to +learn the system is to read the documentation in that same pdf file, +which contains both a Quickstart section and a complete reference +guide to both styles (sections 4 and 5). The package also contains +annotated .bib files (notes-test.bib and dates-test.bib) which each +offer over 100 entries demonstrating how to present a wide range of +sources, nearly all of them taken from the Chicago Manual of Style +itself, so that you can compare the output of your system +(cms-notes-sample.tex, cms-dates-sample.tex) or my system +(cms-notes-sample.pdf, cms-dates-sample.pdf) with the actual examples +in the Manual. + +I have, wherever possible, attempted to maintain backward +compatibility with the standard biblatex styles, but there are a +significant number of situations where I have been unable to do so, +which means that switching among various styles while using the same +bibliography database will not be as simple and painless as it could +be. If you can see ways better to preserve this compatibility, or +indeed to improve the package in any way whatsoever, please let me +know, or better yet, send a patch. As the author-date style is +relatively new, now is the time to suggest changes in field or +entry-type usage there, before questions of backward compatibility +become more pressing. If the styles don't behave as you expect or if +you discover a bug, I'd be very happy to hear about it, but do please +read biblatex-chicago.pdf first, as you may find that your question +has already been answered there. If you do find a bug, please send me +the .bib entry, your LaTeX preamble, and your output .log, so that I +can try to reproduce it here. My email address is at the head of +biblatex-chicago.pdf. + +Installation: + +If you wish to place these files in your TeX directory tree instead of +in your working directory, I recommend the following for the moment, +an arrangement which at least has the virtue of minimizing the +footprint of the package in the main tree, allowing for easier +updating: + + - The nine files biblatex-chicago.sty, chicago-notes.cbx, + chicago-notes.bbx, chicago-authordate.cbx, chicago-authordate.bbx, + cms-american.lbx, cms-french.lbx, cms-german.lbx, and cms-ngerman.lbx + can go in /tex/latex/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-chicago, + where is the root of your local TeX installation -- + for example, and depending on your system, /usr/share/texmf-local, + /usr/local/texmf, or C:\Local TeX Files\. You may need to create + this directory first, and after copying the files there please + remember to update your TeX file name database so that TeX can find + them. + + - The eight files biblatex-chicago.tex, biblatex-chicago.pdf, + cms-notes-sample.tex, cms-dates-sample.tex, cms-notes-sample.pdf, + cms-dates.sample.pdf, notes-test.bib, and dates-test.bib can go in + /doc/latex/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-chicago. + + +Changelog: See the RELEASE file, and also the end of +biblatex-chicago.pdf. + + +Copyright (c) 2008-2010 David Fussner.
