# Release Notes Versions of Windy City are indicated by release date. The most recent date below is the current version, which is available on [CTAN](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/windycity "CTAN: pkg/windycity"). Changes since then, if any, are listed below under "Latest" and indicate updates to Windy City's [repository on GitHub](https://github.com/brianchase/windycity "GitHub: brianchase/windycity"). ## 2019-04-02 * fixed '\parencite' from printing a work's publication year twice under the preamble option 'reflist' * fixed the failure of the 3-em dash to print in bibliographies when compiling with different languages * fixed '\autocite'; it should work for options 'footnote', 'inline', and 'plain' and with all preamble options * defined '\smartcite', '\smartcite*', and '\smartcites' ## 2019-03-27 * fixed a bug that could prevent names in the 'editora' field from printing in the author's position * fixed typos that broke the 'mathesis' entry type * fixed 'mathesis' and 'phdthesis' entry types so that they don't need a 'type' field to distinguish the MA from the PhD (only the 'thesis' entry type needs it) * improved support for newspapers and magazines with issue numbers (see updated documentation on how to implement it) * added support for citing a newspaper's edition, such as 'Sunday Book Review' ## 2019-02-21 * fixed reviews with titles * in reference lists, fixed 'year' printing with 'season' or 'issue' * much improved format of unsigned reviews in bibliographies and reference lists, in part restoring previous work set aside * extended 'swapvol' option to work with 'letter', 'incollection', 'inbook', and 'bookinbook' entries that are cross-referenced to entries that work with 'swapvol' (in effect, you can use 'swapvol' not only with volumes in collections but with works in those volumes, such as chapters and articles) * improved handling of editors and translators, including support for translators of a 'maintitle' * added 'library' entry and preamble options to support the 'library' field * extended 'swapauth' to work with 'mvbook' and 'mvcollection' entries * added support for \iffieldbibstring in processing 'edition' and 'type' fields * other bug fixes ## 2019-01-31 * added limited support for citing web pages and social media content * added 'listvols' entry option (see documentation) * added 'skipdate' entry option (see documentation) * significant changes for tighter control of punctuation, among other things fixing the previous use of 'postpunct' * fixed printing of publication dates for some reports * fixed 'nameaddon' not printing after a 3-em dash in bibliographies (presumably, screen names should also print in this context; they do now) * fixed a show-stopping bug in reference lists caused by the previous fix to 'nameaddon' * fixed reprints, cross-referencing in reference lists * other bug fixes ## 2019-01-18 * reversed default for collections, printing information for volumes first; the option to reverse this is called 'swapvol' * changed option name 'transfirst' to 'swaptrans' * fixed punctuation before 'postnote' of articles and reviews (ugh!) * changed processing of spacing and punctuation around 'postnote' for all citations * added support for swapping the place of an author with an editor or translator, as in CMOS 14.104 * extended the previous to cover a similar case in CMOS 14.122 * improved handling of name lists and cross-referencing * removed no longer maintained citation commands * other bug fixes and housekeeping ## 2019-01-07 * major additions and changes for processing collections * fixed \parencite for unsigned articles * fixed \parencite for cross-referencing * fixed formatting of reviews * added support for 'autopunct' option and 'postpunct' field for better handling of punctuation after citation commands (e.g. '\cite{something}' will end with a period, while '\cite{something};' will end with a semicolon) * in light of the previous, changed \reprint command * added support for 'shortjournal' field for parenthetical citations * simplified 'parencite' and related macros * improved handling of 'year', 'endyear', 'bookyear', and 'endbookyear' fields, ensuring that the publication date of the last mentioned work gets printed in bibliographies and reference lists * many bug fixes ## 2018-12-09 * simpler processing of author's position * added support for common reference works, such as dictionaries and encyclopedias * fixed \defbibcheck for reference works * fixed short option printing urls and related data on first citations * some fixes, though incomplete, for reviews * other fixes for spacing and punctuation ##

2018-11-26 * fixed 'noauth' entry option (it should only affect notes) * fixed 'inst+loc+date' * following CMOS, made 'cite:short' print just a work's title without the name of the collection * fixed name formatting for affixes like 'Jr.' in notes (no comma before them, unlike in bibliographies, where names are inverted) * limited support for copublication * limited support for publication times * added '\footcite*' command and updated documentation ## 2018-11-23 * improved and in some cases fixed processing of numbers, dates, and issues of periodicals * much better support for unsigned articles * fixed 'type' field format * fixed double printing of year for theses and dissertations in the author-date system * fixed punctuation after 'Special issue' in bibliographies * fixed obscure punctuation issue with *notewrapper commands * added support for shorthandintro and improved handling of shorthands * updated field format for DOIs * update name formatting for affixes like 'Jr.' ##

2018-11-14 * finally got a handle on the author-date format for periodicals, rolling back some recent changes (ugh!) * put back preamble options 'useeditor' and 'usetranslator', which are necessary after all (double ugh!) * more readable and arguably simpler date processing for periodicals * added preamble option 'ibid' to prepare for the 17th edition of CMOS * updated windycity.tex to reflect the last point, also to make use of optionlist * remove unused entries from windycity.bib for the 15th edition of CMOS ##
