    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------


    The biblatex-software package has been updated to version 1.2-8.

    This release completes crossref functionality for software bibliography
    entry types (software, softwareversion, softwaremodule, codefragment).
    Key features in this release:

    * Full support for concise format with automatic field omission
    - Child entries automatically inherit fields from parent entries via the
    crossref field
    - Supports multi-level inheritance (e.g., software raA version raA module raA fragment)
    - With the concise format enabled:
    - When a parent entry is cited, child entries show only differing fields
    - Automatically omits matching fields: title, version, editor, author,
    institution, url, repository, hal_id, license
    - Provides citation reference to parent entry for context
