Description Anton Guda 2016-10-09 23:09:24 UTC
Description of problem:
After update to texlive-2016-7.20160520 bibliography composition (by biber) fail to work.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
texlive-2016-7.20160520
biber-2.1-5.fc25.noarch

How reproducible:
Always.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Take a latex document with biliography, created by biber.
2. Update texlive to 2016-7.20160520
3. Try to remake.

Actual results:
Many errors on build, like:
File 'monogr.bbl' is wrong format version - expected 2.7.
(./monogr.bbl! Use of \sortlist doesn't match its definition.
l.21   \sortlist{
                 none}
! Undefined control sequence.
\entry ...ata@\the \c@refsection @\blx@slist@name 

If biber is updated to 2.7-pre, biber fails to proceed:
requires old biblatex version.

Expected results:
Both biber and biblatex works.

Can you provide a sample of a latex document with bibliography created by biber that doesn't work? It looks like biber needs to be updated, but I'd like to have a clearly documented test case to make sure.

Comment 4 Tom "spot" Callaway 2016-10-12 18:16:51 UTC
Okay, I see the incompatibility. This will be fixed in the -10 update of texlive and the biber-2.6 update. I've confirmed that the version of biblatex in texlive (-10) is compatible with biber 2.6, and used them to generate a proper pdf of your test files.

Comment 5 Anton Guda 2016-10-15 19:53:17 UTC
Fixed in -10.
