13The changes in the source code are labelled by number, as follows:
14
15
161. Multiple cites to the same source within a single footnote
17   are supported.
18
192. Alternative volume numbers can be specified in the client
20
213. Year and edition information for additional volumes registrable
22   through numberOfVolumes
23
244. Extended position evaluation.  Ibid recognizes cites to the same
25   source within a footnote.  Ibid is now possible for the initial
26   cite in a multiple citation (this behaviour differs from previous).
27   The position identifiers ibid, ibid-with-locator, and subsequent
28   are supplemented with ibid-prefixed, ibid-with-locator-prefixed,
29   and subsequent-with-locator-prefixed, to permit proper handling of
30   capitalization and lower-casing of ibid and the like.
31
325. Configurable ordinals.  The style itself can specify the string values
33   to be used for ordinals.
34
356. Container author field.  This field is in the CSL spec, but was
36   missing from Zotero's database schema.  Also recognizes
37   contributor as a field for testing.
38
397. Prefix handling.  The default delimiter between cites will be
40   dropped completely before a cite with a prefix value.  Punctuation
41   should be included in the prefix field.
42
438. Issue date as field.  The issued date value is additionally
44   specified as an ordinary field, to permit testing for presence of a
45   variable and for is-numeric.
46
479. The following fields are enabled as numeric fields: note, title,
48   container-title, issued, page, locator, collection-number.
49
5010. Dictionary entry type.  Recognition of the Dictionary entry type is
51    enabled.
52
5311. Use journalAbbreviation as a fallback for publication titles.
54
5512. Add place of publication to newspaper type.
