I am using MacTex 2016 on a Mac (El Captain 10.11.2). My text editor is TexStudio 2.11.0 and all my packages have been updated (TeX live Utility 1.24).
Since I updated MacTex from version 2015 to version 2016, I constantly get the same error when compiling : in a file containing references, when I compile with XeLateX the first time, I get an error about exceeded capacity right where I have an \textcite or \autocite command (the following lines are just warnings) :
TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [parameter stack size=10000]. This book \autocite{adams} 'firstinits' option is deprecated, use 'giveninits' instead. inputenc package ignored with utf8 based engines. Patching footnotes failed. Conflicting options. Add \usepackage{fontspec} to the(frenchb.ldf) preamble of your document,
This file.tex would work just fine before I updated MacTex, I would compile with XeLateX, then bibtex, then XeLatex twice. But before trying to desinstall 2016 and come back to 2015 (if I am ever able to download it somewhere...), I would like to understand what I am doing wrong, and obviously I'm doing something VERY wrong.

This book \autocite{adams} is awesome.
Another awesome book : \textcite{arnason}.
\printbibliography
\end{document}
I know there are a lot of packages, but since some of them are incompatible, maybe that could be the problem. And here are the two references I'm refering to from my bib file :
@Book{adams,
title = {Faroese: a language course for beginners},
publisher = {Stiðin},
year = {2014},
author = {Adams, Jonathan and Petersen, Hjalmar P.},
address = {T\'{o}rshavn},
type = {Book}
}
@Book{arnason,
title = {The phonology of Icelandic and Faroese},
publisher = {Oxford University Press},
year = {2011},
author = {\'{A}rnason, Kristj\'{a}n},
address = {Oxford; New York},
type = {Book}
}
If I forgot something important, please ask.
Thank you in advance!
