==================================================================

== PURPOSE ==

The biblatex-publist package provides a biblatex bibliography
style file (*.bbx) for publication lists, i.e. a bibliography
containing one's own publications. The style file draws on
biblatex's authoryear style per default (which can be changed),
but provides some extra features needed for publication lists,
such as the omission of the own name from author or editor data.

The package requires at least version 3.4 of the biblatex
package.


== CONTENTS ==

The package consists of the following files:

* publist.bbx (biblatex bibliography style file)
* publist.cbx (biblatex citation style file)
* publist.dbx (biblatex database model file)
* biblatex-publist.pdf (package documentation)
* biblatex-publist.tex (documentation source)
* README (this very file)


== DOCUMENTATION ==

See the included manual biblatex-publist.pdf for usage
instructions.

	- Accomodate to the backwards-incompatible changes of biblatex 3.4
	  (prefixnumber > labelprefix, \ifempty > \ifdefvoid).
