+2008-11-06 Hideo Umeki
+ * Release 4.0
+ * More robust driver detection.
+ The driver detection method has been totally rewritten so that
+ it can automatically detect the driver appropriate for the
+ typesetting program in use. Therefore explicit driver setting is no
+ longer needed in most cases, except for the driver |dvipdfm|.
+ This improvement makes geometry work more robustly for
+ the typesetting programs under e-TeX, XeTeX and VTeX
+ as well as normal TeX environment. The packages `ifpdf' and
+ `ifvtex' are used, which are available in CTAN.
+ Note that `ifvtex' package v1.3 (2007/09/09), however, has a
+ bug (a typo) that affects the detection of VTeX.
+ So you need to use the new version of `ifvtex' later than v1.3.
+ * New option: resetpaper.
+ This option disables explicit paper setting in \textsf{geometry}
+ and uses the paper size specified before \textsf{geometry}.
+ This option may be useful to print nonstandard sized documents
+ with normal printers and papers.
+ * Adjustment to \topskip introduced.
+ When large font sizes are specified, \topskip has to be adjusted
+ so that the formula:
+ textheight = (lines - 1) x \baselineskip} + \topskip
+ to be correct. To do this, \topskip is set to \ht\strutbox,
+ if \topskip is smaller than \ht\strutbox.
+ * ANSI paper sizes added.
+ New paper size definitions for ANSI A to E are added.
+ * Bug fixed: Wrong ISO paper sizes.
+ The paper sizes for A1,A2,A5 and A6 were wrong (by 1mm).
+ * Bug fixed: PDFTeX magnification problem.
+ PDF paper offset is adjusted properly when magnification is
+ set by mag option with pdfTeX.
+ * Package source organization changed.
+ Files geometry.ins and geometry-samples.tex are integrated into
+ geometry.dtx so that they can be generated from geometry.dtx by
+ the `tex' command. Documentation can be also generated directly
+ from geometry.dtx by `(pdf)latex' command.
+ * Many other improvements to the code and documentation.
+
+2002-07-08 Hideo Umeki
+ * Release 3.2
+ * Added known problem: for crop package with its 'center' option and
+ 'mag' larger than 1000, the result is not the one expected.
+ * Bug fix: double-valued marginratio setting like {1:1,1:5} didn't
+ work properly. {h|v}marginratio should have been set by \edef
+ instead of \def (line:439-440 in geometry.sty).
+ The bug was introduced in v3.1.
+ (I'd like to thank Rolf Niepraschk for his pointing out the bug.)
+ * Added two test files: gtest15.tex gtest16.tex
+
+2002-07-04 Hideo Umeki
+ * Release 3.1
+ * Bug fix: error in setting geometry dimensions with \widthof of
+ calc package. \Gm@defbylen and \Gm@defbycnt are introduced to set
+ geometry dimensions.
+
+2002-06-30 Hideo Umeki
+ (Special thanks to Frank Mittelbach for checking codes patiently
+ and providing extremely helpful insight and suggestions)
+ * Release 3.0
+ * Revised geometry.dtx document.
+
+2002-06-28 Hideo Umeki
+ * Bug fix: multiple landscape/portrait switches malfunctioned.
+ * Bug fix: default hmarginratio wasn't reset when twoside is reset.
+ The initialization of default margionratios added in \Gm@clean.
+
+2002-06-12 Hideo Umeki
+ * Improved 'reset': can reset 'paper' given as a geometry option.
+ * Bug fix: class default papersize with class option 'landscape'
+ didn't work with \geometry command.
+
+2002-06-05 Hideo Umeki
+ * Added a landscape correction for dvips with 'special' command.
+ * Added 'dvipdfm' (same as 'dvips' internally).
+ * Changed driver settings ('dvips', 'pdftex', and all that) to exclusive.
+ * Bug fix: 'footnotesep' (\skip\footins) couldn't be reset.
+ * Bug fix: 'bindingoffset' didn't work with calc package
+ * Bug fix: 'showframe' vbox had improper height settings.
+ * Bug fix: complex margin settings with calc, e.g. (1in-50pt)*2/3,
+ didn't work well.
+
+2002-05-27 Hideo Umeki
+ * Added many '\@onlypreamble' commands.
+ * The default vscale is changed to 0.7.
+ * Added 'compat2' to achieve option compatibility with the old version.
+
+2002-05-24 Hideo Umeki
+ * 'pdfoutput=1' is removed because it is unnecessary and rather harmful
+ with package 'hyperref'.
+ * The default hscale is changed to 0.7.
+ * The default hmaginratio '\Geom@Dhratiotwo' (=2:3) is used
+ if \@twosidetrue.
+ * 'asymmetric' sets \@mparswitchfalse and \@twosidetrue, so that
+ one can use 'asymmetric' as an alternative to the 'twoside' option.
+
+2002-05-21 Hideo Umeki
+ * Added 'nomarginpar' with \marginparwidth and \marginparsep set to 0pt.
+ * Added '\geom@checkmp' checking if marginal notes fall off the page.
+ * '\geom@process' revised with new internal macros.
+ * Bug fixed: odd/evensidemargin calculations totally modified.
+
+2002-05-20 Hideo Umeki
+ * Changed the default settings (old defaults --> new defaults)
+ - scale={0.8,0.9} --> scale=0.8
+ - includeheadfoot, ignoremp --> ignoreall
+ - marginratio={2:3,1:2} for oneside, marginratio=2:3 for twoside
+ --> marginratio={1:1,2:3} for oneside, marginratio=2:3 for twoside
+
+2002-05-19 Hideo Umeki
+ * 'asymmetric' just sets \@mparswitchfalse. 'asymmetric=false' does
+ nothing.
+ * '\geom@process' revised.
+
+2002-05-14 Hideo Umeki
+ * 'nohead', 'nofoot' and 'noheadfoot' are just shortcut for
+ setting the corresponding LaTeX dimensions to zero, so they
+ are overwritable by subsequent options.
+ * Added 'asymmetric' option with the same layout on every pages.
+ 'twoside' automatically set 'asymmetric=false', but users can
+ set manually 'asymmetric(=true)'.
+ * Changed showparam style.
+ * Added 'hcentering' and 'vcentering', which set |hmarginratio=1:1|
+ and |vmarginratio=1:1| respectively.
+ * Bug fixed: incorrect margins when 'twocolumn' and 'includemp'
+ * Bug fixed: '(h|v)centering' option was set even when the value is
+ false.
+ * Bug fixed: \mag and options with true dimension values caused
+ overspecification warning about \mag. Now \mag cannot be specified
+ more than once as geometry option.
+ * Known Problem: 'reset' still leaves the last papername given as
+ a geometry option, not the class original papername.
+ Set the proper paper name again after 'reset'.
+
+2002-05-13 Hideo Umeki
+ * Added 'twocolumn' option
+ * "verbose" displays the parameter results on the terminal,
+ "verbose=false" (default) still puts them into the log.
+ * 'heightrounded' calculation no longer needs ifthen package.
+ * Bug fixed: 'heightrounded' always adjusted downwards.
+ * Bug fixed: it didn't work with calc package.
+ \Geom@setafter command needs \expandafter's
+ * Bug fixed: 'pass' and multiple 'reset' didn't work well.
+
+2002-05-10 Hideo Umeki
+ * Added 'showframe' option, which shows textarea and page frames,
+ and lines for head and foot to check layout in detail.
+ Geometry.sty now contains features of showframe.sty. So showframe.sty
+ is deleted from the distribution.
+ * Bug fixed: {h,v}offset was set wrong values when 'mag', 'truedimen'
+ and \geometry{..} macro were used.
+ * Bug fixed: execution timing of changing papersize was wrong.
+ This bug was introduced in v3.0 beta.
+
+2002-05-09 Hideo Umeki
+ * Added 'heightrounded' option. If \textheight is not specified,
+ this option rounds it to n-times (n: an integer) of \baselineskip plus
+ \topskip, \textheight = n * \baselineskip + \topskip,
+ to avoid "underfull vbox" in some cases. Default is false.
+ ifthen package included in LaTeX base bundle is required.
+ * Added 'lines' option, which enables users to specify \textheight
+ by the number of lines included in \textheight auto-calculating
+ \textheight = (lines - 1) * \baselineskip + \topskip.
+ This option is prior to all the other options determining 'textheight'
+ directly (ie. 'textheight', 'height', 'vscale').
+ * Bug fixed: \Geom@dset wasn't set by \edef.
+
+2002-04-26 Hideo Umeki
+ * \geom@setafter and \Geom@dset (both internal) makes LaTeX dimension
+ setting as a option (headsep, footskip, hoffset, and etc)
+ effective at the beginning of \geom@process for 'pass' option.
+ * Revised internal codes specifying papersize.
+ * Changed the way of displaying options and parameters in 'verbose' mode.
+
+2002-04-25 Hideo Umeki
+ * Version 3.0 beta
+ * Added 'screen' option as a new papersize (papersize={225mm,180mm}).
+ To make presentation with PC and video projector, geometry option
+ "screen,centering" with 'slide' documentclass must be the best choise.
+ * Added 'pass' option, which disables geometry's auto-layout.
+ * Added 'ratio' option equivalent to 'marginratio'.
+ * Added 'centering', a shortcut for 'marginratio=1:1'.
+ * Added 'innermargin' and 'outermargin', aliases for leftmargin
+ and rightmargin respectively.
+
+2002-04-22 Hideo Umeki
+ * Version 3.0 Candidate alpha, alpha-2 (formly known as 2.4 alpha-1,2)
+ * Added `ignorehead', `ignorefoot', `ignoreheadfoot', and
+ `ignoreheadfootmp'(ignoreall) options to disregard
+ head/foot/marginpars spaces.
+ * Added `{h|v}marginratio' options.
+ These options specify visible marginal spaces in each direction,
+ left(inner):right(outer) for the horizontal ratio, top:bottom
+ for the vertical. They should be set in 'a:b' style and each
+ value should be a positive integer less than 100 to avoid
+ arithmetic overflow. In default, hmarginratio=2:3 (1:2 for
+ twoside) and vmarginratio=1:2.
+ * The 'automatic' centering is no longer default layout,
+ so marginratio={2:3,1:2} is used as default.
+ * Removed twosideshift option, use bindingoffset instead.
+ bindingoffset is set 0pt as default and supports twoside.
+
+2000-06-28 Hideo Umeki
+ * Release 2.3
+ * Added `truedimen', `columnsep' and `footnotesep' options.
+ * VTeX supported.
+ * Modified internal settings for twosideshift and mag.
+
+1999-10-07 Hideo Umeki
+ * Release 2.2
+ * Bug fixed: explicit twoside was needed for book.cls.
+
+1999-09-27 Hideo Umeki
+ * Release 2.1
+ * Bug fixed: twosideshift with reversemarginpar made wrong margins.
+ * Added mag option.
+ * Paper sizes A6 and B6 supported.
+ * Changed license declaration to LPPL.
+
+1998-04-06 Hideo Umeki
+ * Release 2.0
+ * Flexible setting scheme for package option with keyval.
+ * Removed exclamations and extra control sequences for paperwidth
+ and paperheight.
+ * Totally revised the code and document.
+
+1997-09-08 Hideo Umeki
+ * Release 1.08
+ * Included geometry.cfg into geometry.dtx.
+ * Changed the catcode of exclamation mark.
+
+1997-07-05 Hideo Umeki
+ * Release 1.07
+ * Modified process of 'dvips' option.
+ * pdftex supported.
+ * Added `a0paper' and `b0paper'.
+
+1997-04-16 Hideo Umeki
+ * Release 1.06
+ * reversemarginpar supported.
+
+1997-02-17 Hideo Umeki
+ * Release 1.05
+ * Changed the definition for dvips option.
+
+1996-08-05 Hideo Umeki
+ * Release 1.04
+ * Bug fixed: papersize= had no effect when papertype was given
+ in geometry.cfg or as a package option.
+
+1996-07-17 Hideo Umeki
+ * Release 1.03
+ * calc support
+
+1996-06-07 Hideo Umeki
