+CHANGES file, or for the super neurotic, the extremely detailed
+ChangeLog file.
+
+______________ version 1.8 ________________
+NEW FEATURES:
+* The abstract environment now produces a page that meets the UMI
+ requirements. It should be placed at the very end of the main .tex
+ file. Delete the page (or comment out the environment and recompile)
+ when preparing the PDF for submission as an ETD.
+
+CHANGES:
+* Minor changes to Table of Contents format.
+* Bugfix for hyperref and overpic
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ version 1.8 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+______________ version 1.7 ________________

+
+CHANGES:
+* Minor changes to Table of Contents format, title page formatting, and
+ chapter title formating. Significant changes to approval page. New
+ command \approveddate{} for the date that should show on the

+ for committee members, allowing the affiliation to be specified.
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ version 1.7 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+______________ version 1.6 ________________
+NEW FEATURES:

+ localtexmf tree.
+
+CHANGES:
+* Fix nits with TOC format, Table and Figure caption format,
+ oneandahalfspaced linespacing, and Vita format.

+ of symbols).

+ on the OGS Style Manual and how it is implemented by the
+ gatech-thesis class.
+CHANGES:
+* gatech-thesis-gloss.sty: Now used to generate a Glossary,
+ as distinguished from the List of Symbols.

+
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ version 1.5 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+______________ version 1.4 ________________
+
+NEW FEATURES:

+ the comments at the top of the file for HOWTO info.
+* NEW FILE: gatech-thesis-index.ist (used with above)
+* NEW FILE: gatech-thesis-gloss.sty (supports making a glossary -- or
+ "list of symbols and abbreviations" in OGS parlance.) Read the
+ comments at the top of the file for HOWTO info.
+* NEW FILE: gatech-thesis.bst (style for bibliographies). Based
+ on ieeetr.bst, but sorted and smallcapifies author names. Do
+ \bibliographystyle{gatech-thesis} instead of {plain} to use.

+ headings

+
+BUGFIX:
+* Fixed a bug with \include'ing the final section of the document
+* Technical bugfix with gtthesis pagestyle and sectionless chapters.

+* Incorporates with permission code from David Carlisle (\@removefromreset)
