Version number: 3.0 2023-02-01 License type: lppl1.3c Summary description: BibLaTeX styles inspired by the Oxford Guide to Style Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Improved the handling of legal citations, including a long-overdue implementation of the advertised `userb` field behaviour. People relying on the old behaviour may have to update their documents, hence the change in major version number. - Updated internals to benefit from more flexible date handling in biblatex. - Updated internals to remove some issues that blocked translations to other languages. - To facilitate unit testing, the examples in the documentation now align with the actual output of the styles; previously, some examples contrasted the output with the respective text from the source works. - Fixed bug in oxyear/oxalph styles where entries in the bibliography would be sorted by a date other than the one used for the label (thanks to ciandorr for reporting). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-oxr… More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-oxref ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
