Version number: 2.4.0 2018-09-25
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: A citation-style which covers rules of the German
Archaeological Institute
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#*Fixed*
* there was a bug if the field `eventdatelanguage` wasn’t defined [see issue no. 145](https://github.com/LukasCBossert/biblatex-archaeologie/issues/145)
* if the field `volume` doesn’t have an INT it won’t proceed with it as Roman numeral
* somehow the field `edition` was missing for `references`, fixed it.
* a mysterious space in the name part, got rid of it
* missing space before `volumes`, added a space
#*Changed*
* BIG change: all files are generated from the `.dtx` file. This is such a major change so we skipped some version numnbers and jumped directly to `2.4.0`.
* the fields `postnote` and `multipostnote` are formatted with `mknormrange`, that means you don’t have to type `--` to get an endash for page ranges.
