CTAN update: biblatex-dw

This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite
mirror.

Thanks,
Jim Hefferon
Saint Michael's College

Name of contribution: biblatex-dw
Author's name: Dominik Wassenhoven
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/
Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.2
 - Adjustments to biblatex version 0.8. Note that from 
   version 1.2 on, biblatex-dw needs at least biblatex 0.8, 
   so you have to update biblatex as well if you would like 
   to use biblatex-dw 1.2!
   -> The new biblatex option 'firstinits' is supported.
   -> The new macro \bibpagespunct is also supported.
 - Added option 'xref' which can be set to 'true' or 
   'false'. If you want to use the crossref functionality 
   (introduced in biblatex-dw version 1.1f), you now have to 
   set 'xref=true'. See the documentation for details.
