The LaTeX2e class is mainly +based on the 'pdfpages' package for PDF papers inclusion, and the +'hyperref' package for creating proper links, bookmarks and general +bibliography back references. It also uses many other packages for fine +tuning the table of contents, bibliography and index of authors. +The added value of this class is in the time saved to quickly design +conference proceedings or any collection of PDFs. + +________________________________________________________________ +New in version 0.7 (major update) - In short: +- key-value options for the class and \procpaper{} function +- tested with TeXLive 2008-2010 +- can insert papers with any number of pages +- various new class options (hyperref, geometry, binding=Xmm, + checktitle, checkauthor, showmarginlines, showpapernumber, + colorheaders=red, pdftk) +- documentation reorganized with more examples (incremental learning) +- new 2-minute summary of commands and options (confproc-short.tex) +- new Unix/bash scripts: exportIndividualPDFs.sh, countnbpages.sh + +________________________________________________________________ +New in version 0.7 (major update) - In details: + +- class: + - class options: interface re-designed to make use of key-values + style ('kvoptions' package) + - tested with TeXLive 2008, 2009 and 2010 (as of July 18th, 2010) + - code clarified, using key-values ('keyval' package) and + \ifthenelse ('xifthen' package) + +- PDF insertion: + - command \procpaper[]{} with 1 argument (file name) and 8 + optional arguments replaces \cmdDescribe{\insertprocpaper} with + its 9 arguments.
