I would like to have Biblatex print only the year of a publication in the bibliography. Currently it shows the year, month and day.
The "date" option (e.g. date=iso8601) can't do that.

Ah, a use for the australian language. Its date format is correct, so you can load it as a subsiduary language via babel and then wrap your bibliography in an otherlanguage environment:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[australian,american]{babel}
\usepackage[backend=biber,dateabbrev=false]{biblatex}
\begin{filecontents}{references.bib}
@book{Book,
title = {This is a Title},
author = {Author, Some},
location = {The City},
publisher = {Publisher},
date = 2005,
month = feb,
day = 14,
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{references.bib}
\begin{document}
\today
Citing \cite{Book}.
\begin{otherlanguage}{australian}
\printbibliography
\end{otherlanguage}
\end{document}
There is a package option date for controlling this:
date=year, short, long, terse, comp, iso8601 default: comp This option controls the basic format of printed date specifications.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[date=year]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
with database entry
@Article{Author,
author = {Author, A.},
title = {A paper},
journal = {J. Jour.},
date = {1989-03-12}
}
yields

In analogy to Disable month in biblatex bibliography? you can just disable the
monthanddayfields with the commandsFor a short moment there came to my mind that there could be a caveat with the
urldatefield that declares when a URL has been checked, butbiblatexeven takes care of this. Theurldateis still printed as full date. Compare the MWE and its output below:Is this what you intend to do? If not, please provide a MWE to work with.
