The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: biblatex-dw Version number: 1.2m 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 1.2m - BUGFIX: Changed the default of citerevsdnamedelim which used to be a slash. Now it is empty, because otherwise it produced two slashes in some circumstances. - BUGFIX: In footnote-dw with 'xref=true', the reference to the first entry did not work if the first citation of a parent was cited via a child. This is now fixed. - BUGFIX: In footnote-dw the punctuation of @collection entries was wrong when using a prenote in conjunction with 'useeditor=false' or when there was no editor. This is now fixed. - The biblatex option 'singletitle' can now be used both with authortitle-dw and footnote-dw. Using this option, a work's title is only printed if there is not more than one work by the author or editor. - New entry option 'pseudoauthor'. If set to true, the author is put in brackets. This is useful for e.g. editions of works whose authors are not named, but are known. See the documentation for details. The entry option does only have effect if the global option 'pseudoauthor' is set to 'true'. The default value is 'false'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblate… .
