CTAN update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN announcements (Jim Hefferon, tug.ctan.org) 10 May '09

10 May '09

This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: biblatex-dw Author's name: Dominik Wassenhoven Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.2i - BUGFIX: When using option 'usetranslator=true', the translator string was not aware of the option 'editorstring'. This is now fixed. - Improved bibmacro 'journal+issuetitle' which is now aware of the option 'edbeforetitle'. - The 'typeeditor' field is now supported. It can take the values 'editor' and 'compiler'. This field determines the editor string after the name of the editor(s). The abbreviated forms are 'ed.' for 'editor' and 'comp.' for 'compiler'. In German, both strings are the same ('Herausgeber' or 'Hrsg.'). - In English, the 'idem' string is now declined (idem, eadem, idem in singular; eidem, eaedem, eadem in plural) and no longer abbreviated, even if abbreviate=true is used. - Improved the handling of 'origfields=true'. - In German, the string 'reprint' (Nachdruck) is now abbreviated as 'Ndr.', not as 'Nachdr.' - Compound abbreviations are now separated by a thin space rather than a normal one. At the moment, this affects only the German localization in strings like 'hg. v.' ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblate… .
