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. - -^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ version 1.4 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -______________ version 1.3 ________________ -baseline. |
