Compile error #4

Closed asifm91 closed 5 years ago

asifm91 commented 5 years ago

I am getting an error during compilation:

line 512: Package biblatex Error: Option 'mergedate' already defined. ... 'year', 'true' (=year), and 'false'.}}}

I am using MiKTeX 2.9 with TeXstudio in Windows 10. I have installed the package using mpm and followed the manual from CTAN to use this citation style.

Example:

\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage[backend=biber, style=bath,sorting=ynt]{biblatex}
\assignrefcontextentries[]{*}
\addbibresource{test.bib}

\begin{document}
    \nocite{*}
    \newrefcontext[sorting=nyt]
    \printbibliography
\end{document

FIY, I can use built-in styles or custom ones (ex: biblatex-apa) with biblatex without error.

Previously the standard authoryear biblatex style only defined mergedate as a bibliography option. Version 3.13 introduced \DeclareBiblatexOption and, using this, now defines mergedate as a type and entry option as well. This conflicts with the type option declared by biblatex-bath.

This will be fixed in the next release.
