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.'
