 \subsection{Landscape figures and tables}
 If you have large figures and tables that must be rotated, you should use the |[lscape]| class option.  This enables a pagestyle |lscape| and places the page numbers correctly on the long edge of the page. The option loads the \pkg{pdflscape} package which provides a |landscape| environment to place the landscape figure in. Before the landscape environment, you need to issue a |\clearpage| command and change the pagestyle to |lscape|, and afterwards, change it back to |plain|. Schematically, then, any landscape pages should be created in the following way.

 \subsection{Version history}
 Previous versions of \pkg{msu-thesis} (versions 1.0--1.4b) were created for non-electronic submission and should not be used. Versions 1.5--1.6 (the first electronic submission versions) contained a |\makeabstract| command and a separate |msuabstract| environment. These have been removed as of version 1.7.  Users who are upgrading from earlier versions to version 1.7 do not need to change these commands however but their use will trigger a warning.) Version 2.0 implemented landscape pages; version 2.1 added support for \pkg{hyperref}. Versions 2.2--2.5 mainly accommodated to the ever changing whims of the MSU Graduate School. Version 2.6 fixed some appendix bugs introduced by the previous whim accommodation.
 \section{Acknowledgements}
-Thanks to Lars Madsen, Ulrike Fischer and Peter Wilson for help with setting up parts of the memoir code for versions 1.0-1.4 (now eliminated due to changed requirements). Thanks to Wolfgang Sternefeld for supplying the \pkg{linguex} spacing fix code, Leo Liu for the landscape page numbering code, which greatly simplified my original version, and Florent Chervet for the hyperref code. Thanks also to the following students who have reported problems over the years: Matt Husband, Irina Agafonova, Dmitriy Bryndin, Greg Christian, Changkuk Jung, Yisu Zhou, Neil ver Planck, Michael Wojcik, Kyle Crayne, Adam Soliman and Adam Liter.
