natbib is out, biblatex is in #60

Very simple: natbib is going to be obsolete. The new, all-including package for 
bibliographies will be biblatex (with its companion biber to replace the 
already obsolete bibtex). But biblatex is incompatible with natbib, so it would 
be kind of the package creators to update it in order to use the new one, or 
even better to offer an additional option. Thank you!

I completely agree with this statement:

Come on guys, what's going on? This is almost 10 years old and you still can't figure it out. What do you miss? What do you need? How can we help you to make it happen?

It's a shame that in the middle of 2019 Tufte LaTeX can't work decently with Biblatex. That limits much the use of the class in case you had not thought about it.

12 years later... Is this still maintained?

I think this is abandoned.

I think this is abandoned.

There are 247 forks. https://github.com/Tufte-LaTeX/tufte-latex/network/members
Is any of them maintained and up to date?

chriskgrant added a commit to chriskgrant/tufte-latex that referenced this issue Mar 20, 2023
As natbib and bibtex are not maintained and can't handle
UTF-8 input, the Tufte-LaTeX class should use biblatex and
biber instead.

Note, however, that this change breaks the vertical offset
argument of the `\cite` command due to how biblatex handles
that command. This may cause problems with citations running
off the bottom of the pages; but since pure-citation sidenotes
are likely to be relatively short, this seems like an acceptable
loss.

Ref Tufte-LaTeX#60.
