For even more gory detail, see the +ChangeLog file. For a quick overview, see the NEWS file. + +______________ 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. |
