Thanks for bringing this to my attention, and with an easy-to-use MWE! I just tested it here on my end and found the same problem.
The bug is connected to the handling of the ISBN number in your bib file. As long as you don't have the ISBN defined in your bib file, the comma is replaced with a period.
I need to do some work to figure out how best to fix the problem for the next release, but I hope that temporary workaround (not defining the ISBN) is helpful for now.
This is fixed in the next release.
Since I am currently having this comma-period issue, I just wanted to double check that this is an problem with my Linux distribution using an older package, and not biblatex-mla itself. My mla-new.bbx
file inside the texlive folder says % mla.bbx, v1.9 2016/11/01 * compatible with biblatex 3.4
at the top. This means that I currently have v1.9
installed, and I will not benefit from this bug fix until I upgrade to v2.0
, right?
Edit: tex --version
says that I am running TeX 3.141592653 (TeX Live 2021)
@cachandlerdev yes, you won’t see the fix until upgrading. If you’d like to create a MWE with a simple document and one bib entry showing the error on your side, I can double check that it works by typesetting it on my system.
I'm having a problem where one specific reference ends with a comma instead of a period. Here is a picture:![bug](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29077900/56175556-aac8e780-5fc5-11e9-9f0a-46b0ba85b846.png)
