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 1.2e
- Adjustments to biblatex version 0.8b. Note that from
this version on biblatex 0.8b is required, so you have to
update biblatex as well if you would like to use
biblatex-dw 1.2e!
-> The new biblatex option 'usetranslator' is supported.
- BUGFIX: The option 'firstfullname' introduced in version
1.2d had a bug which is now fixed.
- BUGFIX: The 'idem' functionality did not work with the
multicite commands. This is now fixed.
- New option 'journumafteryear': If set to 'true', the
'number' in article entries is printed after the year and
introduced by the bibstring 'number'. If set to 'false',
the default behaviour is used, i.e. 'Journaltitle
volume.number (year)'. The default is 'true'.
-> If 'journumafteryear' is set 'false', the separator
between volume and number in @article entries is now
configurable with the new command 'jourvolnumsep'.
The default is a dot (which is also the default in
biblatex).
- When the 'volume' is missing, the parenthesis around the
year in @article entries is omitted.
- The multicite command cites is now also always printed
as footnote in 'footnote-dw'.
- Some changes in the internal code.
- Extended the documentation and examples.
