For some reason even the updated patches didn’t apply correctly, so I
applied them manually (maybe it’s a problem on my end). I’ve tested
biber on one of my old projects and it works as expected:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ biber assignment1

The warning about “unescaped left brace in regex” is ugly, but it
doesn’t break anything.
I’ve pushed the three commits to core updates (c97fbf55e).
Thanks!
