The biblatex-software package has been updated to version 1.2-8. This release completes crossref functionality for software bibliography entry types (software, softwareversion, softwaremodule, codefragment). Key features in this release: * Full support for concise format with automatic field omission - Child entries automatically inherit fields from parent entries via the crossref field - Supports multi-level inheritance (e.g., software → version → module → fragment) - With the concise format enabled: - When a parent entry is cited, child entries show only differing fields - Automatically omits matching fields: title, version, editor, author, institution, url, repository, hal_id, license - Provides citation reference to parent entry for context
