This IEEEtran.cls is now the official LaTeX class for authors of the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) transactions
journals and conferences. IEEEtran.cls is mirrored within IEEE's site
as well.

The most recent version of IEEEtran.cls is version 1.6c.
This is an interim bug fix release that corrects the compatibility
issue with preview-LaTeX and subfigure.sty.

Version 1.7 is expected to be released later this month.


Best wishes for all your publication endeavors,
