CTAN Update: biblatex-dw

On Mon, 2 Jun 2008, Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. This package contains 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.

v1.1c - BUGFIX: With the option 'idem=false', the author of a first citation who was cited immediately before with another work lacked the forename. - BUGFIX: The option 'edbyidem=false' produced a superfluous 'ed. by'; string. - BUGFIX: Small punctuation issue with repeated citations and 'herename'. - New option 'namefont' which can take the values 'smallcaps', 'italic' and 'bold'. The default is none, i.e. authors and editors are set in normal font shape. With 'useprefix=true', this option also affects the name prefix. - New option 'firstnamefont' which can take the values 'smallcaps', 'italic' and 'bold'. This also affects the name prefix (with 'useprefix=false') and the name affix. - The option 'oldauthor' is now also available as global option in order to disable the feature. If you set 'oldauthor=false' globally, every entry option 'oldauthor=true' is ignored. Thus, you can set the fontname for every author with global options, independent of entry options. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/maros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ .
