On Thu, 28 Jun 2012 Dominik Waßenhoven submitted an update to the
biblatex-dw
package.
Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.5
This version of biblatex-dw was tested with biblatex 1.7.
- BUGFIX: The functionality of ibidpage=true was broken. This is now fixed.
- BUGFIX: With edbyidem=true (and xref=false), the first citation of an
@inbook entry where author and editor are the same, but the bookauthor
differs resulted in ed. by idem, which is wrong. This is now fixed.
- BUGFIX: With edbyidem=false, the book author of @inbook entries
was not typeset in the appropriate format. This could lead to a
wrong output (e.g. Lastname, Firstname instead of Firstname
Lastname). This is now fixed.
- BUGFIX: With @inreference entries, the output could be
inconsistent with regard to the volume(s). This is now fixed.
- BUGFIX: Changes in font size for annotationfont and libraryfont
led to a wrong baselineskip. This is now fixed.
- BUGFIX: There was a small bug in @collection entries concerning the
punctuation after the labelname. This should be fixed now.
- BUGFIX: With shorthandinbib=true the labelnamepunct was printed when there
was no author or editor present. This lead to superfluous punctuation and is
now fixed.
- BUGFIX: In some circumstances the final period of the bibliography items
(finentry) was not printed. This is now fixed.
- In authortitle-dw, the extcite command now also considers
the value of the firstfull option. That means, if a work
is cited for the first time via a extcite command, the
result would be <Name> (<full citation>).
- New option citeauthor which can take the values namefont, namefontfoot
and normalfont. This option controls the name format for the citeauthor
command. With citeauthor=namefont the same format as set by the option
namefont is used. This is the default behaviour. With citeauthor=normalfont
the normal font is always used for citeauthor, regardless of the namefont
option. With citeauthor=namefontfoot the namefont format is used if the
citeauthor command is inside a footnote, otherwise the normal font is used.
- The list of shorthands with option terselos=true is now even more terse:
the [main]subtitle and [main]titleaddon fields are now also omitted.
