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.

philosophersimprint
package.
Summary description: LaTeX Class for Philosophers' Imprint journal
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As said in its mission statement at
http://www.philosophersimprint.org, ``Philosophers' Imprint is a
refereed series of original papers in philosophy, edited by philosophy
faculty at the University of Michigan, with the advice of an
international Board of Editors, and published on the World Wide Web by
the University of Michigan Digital Library. The mission of the Imprint
is to promote a future in which funds currently spent on journal
subscriptions are redirected to the dissemination of scholarship for
free, via the Internet.'' The journal used to accept manuscripts in
Rich Text Format only. However, for many authors, especially from the
field of logic, TeX seems to be a better choice. I was commissioned
to write a LaTeX class for this journal.
The aim of the class is to help authors to typeset their own
articles in the ``Web-ready'' format. We do not assume the authors
have any commercial fonts installed on their machines. The class
uses only freely available and freely distributed fonts.
Changes in version 1.1
- New formatting of journal URL
- Better handling of footnotes
- Use for microtype if exists
Changes in version 1.2
- Added trailing slash to the title page URL
