-This file contains a (fairly) detailed list of changes to the
-gatech-thesis.cls file. For even more gory detail, see the
-ChangeLog file. For a quick overview, see the NEWS file.
-
-______________ version 1.8 ________________
-* Remove bold from volume (part) titles in Table of Contents.
-* Fix bug that was preventing hyperref and overpic from working
- concurrently.
-* Revise abstract environment to produce an abstract page that meets the
- UMI requirements, rather than just replicating the summary page.
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ version 1.8 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-______________ version 1.7 ________________
-* Remove double spacing of thesis title as per July 2005 manual.
-* Reduce font size of title (title page and approval page) and
- chapter titles. (Requested by OGS)
-* Reduce font size of author on title page. (Requested by OGS)
-* Reduce font sizes (title, author, volume) on volume divider
- pages. (Requested by OGS)
-* Reduce chapter title size to match that of thesis title. (Requested
- by OGS)
-* Major modifications and bugfixes to the approval page. Since theses
- are now submitted electronically, signature lines are no longer
- required. Also, the current manual requires affiliation for all
- readers and that the approval date be typed on the page. Reader (and
- advis?r and committeechair) commands are now of the form
- \firstreader{Ignatius Arrogant}[School of Industrial and Systems
- Engineering][Georgia Institute of Technology]. The second and third
- arguments default to \department and Georgia Institute of Technology,
- respectively.
-* Remove bold from chapter lines in Table of Contents. Also adjusted
- horizontal spacing in table of contents so that chapter numbers
- lower than XVIII don't overstrike chapter titles.
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ version 1.7 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-______________ version 1.6 ________________
-* Make Vita doublespaced
-* Correct one-and-a-half-spaced linespace factor to 1.25
- from 1.33 (1.25 is specified by The LaTeX Companion)
-* Add support for on-demand patches
-* Fix Figure and Table captions to OGS specifications.
-* Add leaders (dots) in the table of contents for
- chapters. (Requested by OGS)
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ version 1.6 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-______________ version 1.5 ________________
-
-After showing version 1.4 to GT OGS, almost all features were
-approved. Only a few, pre-approved changes were made in this
-1.5 release:
-
-* Caption labels:
-
- The 'Figure X:' or 'Table Y:' part of a caption is now
- printed in bold san-serif. If you want to customize this,
- use the caption2 package. OGS is not concerned about the
- details here, as long as you are consistent throughout.
-
-* List of Symbols:
-
- Now handled by the gatech-thesis-losa style instead of the
- gatech-thesis-gloss style. The -gloss style now generates
- a real glossary.
-
- OGS suggests that all symbol defintions be rigidly separated
- from the symbols themselves. In the julesverne/bellswhistles
- example, the was implemented via '\setlength{\losahang}{5cm}',
- to change this:
-
- SYM1 an explanation of what the "SYM1" stands for. A really
- long winded explanation so that I can get a linewrap or
- two.
-
- AVeryLongSymbol notice that the first line of the definition
- is intruded upon by the long symbol name, but the linewraps
- are aligned at the original point.
-
- ---- to ----
-
- SYM1 By changing \losahang, all of the definitions
- now begin and linewrap to a point that is to
- the right of the longest symbol name.
-
- AVeryLongSymbol However, this tends to look ugly if you have
- many short symbols, but one really really long
- one.
-
- You will need to set \losahang manually to an appropriate length,
- depending on the contents of your glosssary.
-
- You should use gatech-thesis-losa.sty and the \losa{} command
- to generate a List of Symbols. Use gatech-thesis-gloss.sty and
- the \gloss command to generate a Glossary.
-
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ version 1.5 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-______________ version 1.4 ________________
-
-* Style of headings:
-
- In the most recent version of the OGS Guidelines, the
- specific format of section, subsection, and subsubsection
- headings is no longer specified. Because underlining is bad
- (1) underlining for emphasis is bad typesetting, originally
- used only when italics where not available [e.g. typewriters,
- for which the original OGS Guidelines were written]
- (2) Centering doesn't work on underlined text in section titles,
- so earlier, we faked it with a 2in indent (hoping that all
- section titles were short). Bad idea.
- (3) underlining doesn't break across lines, so if you have a
- very long section title, it won't wrap. It was suggested
- (Elena Garcia) to use the ulem.sty package, but
- (a) that would add a non-base external dependency to the class
- (b) it doesn't fix the problem, unless you ALSO use the
- titlesec.sty package to control section titles. Which
- is yet ANOTHER external dependency.
- Given (1) and (2), plus the lack of a requirement by OGS, I've
- redefined the section, subsection, and subsubsection formats thus:
- section: (old) (not really) centered, underlined, bold
- section: (new) Large, bold, italic, at left margin
- subsection: (old) bold, at left margin
- subsection: (new) bold, at left margin
- subsubsection: (old) bold, indented 5 "spaces" from left margin
- subsubsection: (new) italic, indented 0.25in from left margin
-
-* Fixed bug that caused problems when last section of the document
- (vita?) in \included instead of \inputted
-
-* Chapter headings fixups (only really applies if you're using
- pagestyle{tcplain} or pagestyle{gtthesis} -- for personal copies?)
-
- Minor headings fixups: in short "chapters" (vita, references) which
- will NOT have sections, the chapter header markers are not appropriate.
- Normal is: \rightmark has chapter name, \leftmark has section name
- .(when no sections, like vita, \leftmark is empty). It is up to
- the pagestyle whether the \marks are used. We only use them in
- gtthesis style. So, these known-short chapters should override
- the markers and mark both left and right with the "chapter" name:
- plus, they shouldn't read "Chapter *: Vita" but simply "Vita".
-
- QUESTION: perhaps abstract, TOC, LOT, ... should get similar
- treatment? How likely is it that they will run more than two pages
- long?
-
-* Massive signature page improvements. OGS Guidelines say that
- if there are more than four signatories, then the signature
- lines must be arranged in two columns. Before, it didn't. Now
- it does.
-
-* Fix pagenumbering. New OGS guidelines say that pagenumbers should
- go on the bottom in the middle, not in the upper right corner.
- This means that 'plain' is now the default pagestyle. (Old 'gtplain'
- is now renamed to 'tcplain' -- it's plain, except that the pagenumbers
- are in the Top Corner. It no longer has anything to do with Georgia
- Tech, so change the name to something else...hence, tcplain)
-
-* Reorganized the examples. There are now three: the super-simple,
- very basic ``example-thesis.tex'', the moderately more advanced
- julesverne/basic/ example, and the full-blown, all the bells and
- whistles example in julesverne/bellswhistles.
-
-* More pagenumbering fixes: signature page should not be numbered.
-
-* Dedication page: text is automatically centered, per OGS requirements.
- Looks ugly to me; for personal copies override dedicationtop/bottom:
- \renewcommand*{\dedicationtop}{\vspace*{\stretch{1}}
- \renewcommand*{\dedicationbottom}{\vspace*{\stretch{3}}
- looks nice to me (for UNOFFICIAL copies).
-
-* Table of Contents, List of Figures, List of Tables:
- OGS guidelines say that items in these lists should be single spaced
- if a single entry requires more than one line, but that separate
- entries should be doubled spaced. It wasn't before. Now it is.
-
-* Multivolume Thesis support:
- Use the \part{} sectioning commands to indicate where Volume II
- (III, etc) should begin. Put \multivolumetrue in your preamble, and
- gatech-thesis.cls will automatically generate the volume I "title"
- page (in addition to the "real" title page.
-
- It's unclear whether the volume title pages should look the same
- as the "real" title page, or if the volume I title page should BE
- the "real" title page. I've made some guesses. If I find out
- differently, I'll change it.
-
-* gatech-thesis.cls now depends on the base package 'calc'. This
- should not be a big deal, 'calc' is a part of the standard
- LaTeX2e distribution.
-
-* Lists of Symbols and Abbreviations, and Index:
- incorporate minimal support for glossary page and index page
- within gatech-thesis.cls. However, most functionality is
- kept in the add-on, option style files
- gatech-thesis-index.sty and
- gatech-thesis-gloss.sty
- Read the comments in those files for more information.
-
-* Bibliography style: gatech-thesis.bst based on ieeetr.bst. Thanks
- to Elena Garcia for the prod, although this version has
- a separate heritage than her submission.
-
-* Included code: gatech-thesis.cls now includes David Carlisle's
- \@removefromreset command as specified in the remreset package
- available from CTAN as
- macros/latex/contrib/supported/carlisle/remreset.sty
- It is provided here as a convenience to the user, and because
- it helps me eliminate a major kludge within gatech-thesis.cls.
- The code is included with David Carlisle's permission.
- remreset.sty is licensed under the LPPL; David has explicitly
- given permission to include it here, under the GPL.
-
-* Minor fixups for two-sided printing
- make sure that the last page of the preliminary environment is even,
- so that Chapter 1 starts on an odd page. (Page numbers were always
- right, but we need to go ahead an print the blank page, so that
- duplex printers don't get confused.) It didn't before. Now it does.
