Version 0.12

The 0.12.x releases are intended as the final set of experimental releases before freezing the behaviour of the styles for version 1.0.

• Breaking change: titles of suppbook entries are now in quotation marks by default; the inverted commas must be removed by using the descriptor annotation or field, in common with other entry types.

• Breaking change: the punctuation before a ‘by Author’ statement is now configurable, and defaults to a space instead of a comma.

• Explicit handling has been added for entry types suppperiodical, suppcollection, booklet, patent, standard, artwork, performance, and letter, and examples for these have been added to the documentation. The image entry type uses the new artwork/performance driver instead of online.

• The altthesis option has been deprecated in favour of new option thesis, which takes values in (altthesis = true), out (altthesis = false) and plain (no parentheses at all).

• The varissuedate option has been renamed issuedate-plain, to match court-plain.

• There is a new bookseries option which takes values in and out with the same logic as the thesis option.

• The mergedate option can now be set on a per-type basis. Some bugs in the maximum and compact variants have been fixed.

• There is a new nonodate option for suppressing ‘n.d.’ when an entry in oxalph/oxyear has no suitable date label. It is automatically activated on a per-entry basis if a sortyear is given.

• It is now possible to annotate a date as inferred to enclose it in square brackets.

• Various edge-case formatting bugs have been fixed.
