    ## [3.1.0] - 2026-09-15

    ### Added

    - Add the 1987 version of the GB standard styles: `gbt7714-1987-numeric` and `gbt7714-1987-authoryear`.
    - Add the `applicationnumber` field for patents to distinguish it from the issued number.

    ### Changed

    - Change the punctuation style to `GB` for the 2015 and 2005 versions, aligning with the 2025 version.
    - Journal titles in the 2015 and 2005 versions are covnerted to sentence case. - Change the entry type identifier for preprints to "EB" for the 2015 and 2005 versions.
    - Change the default parentheses for author-year citations to full-width characters (`citepunct = full`).

    ### Fixed

    - Fix the capitalization of journal titles.
    - Fix the comma before name suffixes (e.g., "Jr").
    - Names of Chinese authors written in Pinyin are not initialized in the 2005 version.
    - Fix the placement of standard numbers in the 2005 version.
    - Fix a false "empty year" warning ([#206](https://github.com/zepinglee/gbt7714-bibtex-style/issues/206)).

    ### Removed

    - Remove obsolete options from v1.*: `2015`, `2005`, `super`, `numbers`, and `authoryear`.
