CTAN Update: biblatex-dw

2008-04-15 Thread CTAN Announcements 
On Sun, 13 Apr 2008 Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the

  biblatex-dw

package.

It is a small collection of styles for the biblatex package.  It was designed 
for citations in the humanities and offers some features that are not provided 
by the standard biblatex styles.  Biblatex-dw is dependent on biblatex (at 
least 
version 0.7) and cannot be used without it.

Announcement text:

v1.1b
 - BUGFIX: When using \parencite with 'footnote-dw',
   additional parentheses (e.g. enclosing the string
   'editor') were lost; they are now replaced by
   brackets.
 - BUGFIX: In 'footnote-dw', the normal \cite command
   always produced a capital letter at the beginning.
   This is fixed now.
 - Fixed a small punctuation error in connection with
   'herename';.
 - New command \titleaddonpunct for the punctuation
   before titleaddon, booktitleaddon and maintitleaddon.
   The default is a period now (not a comma, as before).
