2008-07-10 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Ready for *real* 1.4.2 release (more than a month after the
first attempt!)
* Added lots of TODOs and merges for the next version; removed
mention in the manual of "cite" as a mandatory package.
2008-07-03 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Recursive make is used (warnings about incomplete DAGs be
damned) and SCons has been ditched for now.
* Bundled style files are now hidden by a zip file rather than the
weirdo "*.hidden" renaming thing.
2008-05-23 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Hiding style files bundled with the example, since they can get
accidentally picked up in recursive kpathsea lookups if *TEXINPUTS
is set that way.
* Fixes to makefile etc. SConstruct now works for building LaTeX
documents... use it for building future versions.
2007-12-05 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Fixed serif headers --- the sfheaders package is no longer
needed, since sfheaders are the default in scrbook.
2007-09-12 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Updated documentation about changed mandatory packages, some
package clashes, and improved example formatting with framed
boxes.
* Added a couple of required earliest release dates to the
\RequirePackage lines.
* Added subfig/continued caption example chapter to the example
thesis.
* Removed subfig reqirement.
2007-07-03 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Added command arguments etc. to the documentation.
* Improved dedication command alignment as for \pagequote.
2007-07-02 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Removed "Appendix" label from the colophon page (copied from the
book class thebibliography environment).
2007-06-30 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Improved the positioning of the \pagequote using the varwidth
package - getting csquotes to work with the likes of fancybox was
a nightmare.
* Sorted out some extra \cleardoublepage effects that resulted
from re-using the frontmatter and mainmatter definitions.
2007-06-28 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Improved the horizonal and vertical centering of the page quote.
* Restricted the width of the document in the page and chapter
quotes.
* The front quote is now implemented with the name \pagequote and
\frontquote is an alias via \let. This is just to give a better
name, should someone decide to use it somewhere other than at the
front (not that I'm recommending that!)
* Added 1.5 cm to each margin in the abstract and declaration
pages - I think this looks better since they are likely to be
short sections.
* Added the chngpage mechanism for adding extra margin widths on
section by section bases.
2007-06-27 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Added the \set...spacing commands and the variables that they influence.
2007-06-25 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Added optional language argument to \frontquote and \chapterquote. These
use the csquotes commands \enquote and \foreignquote if csquotes is loaded.
2007-06-11 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Added definite v1.5 to \thesis... command deprecation notices.
* Tidied up, and removed a few obsolete references to
\thesis... commands in the user guide.
2007-06-10 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Added the "plainpages=false" fix to hyperref package loading to
stop the pdfTeX "destination with the same identifier" warning.
* Incorporated a variety of improvements from Albert Neumüller:
+ Babel integration and \enquote
+ Using subfig rather than subfigure
+ Introduced penalties to stop enumeration breaking across pages
+ Using KOMA-script base classes to fix some errors with onepage mode
+ Avoiding fancyhdr warnings in onepage mode.
* Fix to make sfheaders.sty only be loaded if the sftitles option
is in force. Thanks to Stuart Cook for the bug report and fix.
2006-09-28 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Updated date to today, ready for release 1.3.
2006-09-25 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Updated example document to demonstrate the bold math in titles
and sans-serif titles.
2006-09-21 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Made frontmatter centered titles have \LARGE size rather than
\Large.
* Added \boldmath to the definition of \bfseries so that maths in
titles etc. will automatically go bold. Thanks to Donald Arsenau
for supplying this neat trick!
2006-09-18 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Fixed a bug in the definition of \definethesis (argument #2 was
never used).
* Added sftitles option, using the sfheaders package and some
changes to the hepthesis-specific sectioning commands. Updated
documentation to reflect this.
2006-06-12 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Updated the documentation to reflect the recent changes.
* Removed some lingering \thesis-prefixed commands from the
examples.
* Aliased \maketitle to \titlepage{} (see below).
* Changed behaviour of \titlepage slightly: the first argument
will no longer be presented prefixed with "of" (so you should
include "of\\ " in the argument if you want the original,
non-internationalised behaviour). Also, the first argument is now
optional, so should be wrapped with square brackets rather than
curly braces. \thesistitlepage has been similarly updated.
* Deprecated \definethesis command: it is now just a thin wrapper
for \title and \author.
* Added titling option to use the titling package if
available. Otherwise, redefine \title and \author to save their
arguments in \thetitle and \theauthor, as well as in \@title,
\@author, so that they are available in the document body, in
particular for building the title page.
2006-06-06 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Prompted by a request from Claudia Strabel, the table, figure,
figure* and sidewaysfigure environments now use standard [!htbp]
placement specifiers.
2006-02-23 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Ready for version 1.2 release (no changes since 2006-01-26 and
no reported bugs from beta testing)
2006-01-26 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Added appendices and colophon environments and updated the
manual and example accordingly.
* Changed mainmatter environment to a special comment so that it
doesn't remove the section numbering until the backmatter starts:
I don't understand what it is about \renewenvironment that was
doing this.
* Fixed typo in backmatter definition which made it treat the
backmatter as mainmatter.
2005-12-13 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Removed pdfpagemode=FullScreen option from hyperref. Maybe
re-introduce this sort of thing via an option.
2005-12-09 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Fixed typo ("latex" -> "pdflatex") in the documentation of how
to use a Makefile to ease the PS/PDF conditional compilation
issues.
* Moved frontquote text up by 1.5 cm to balance the page a bit
better. This is still quite A4-specific: maybe this should be
specified in terms of \textheight?
* Added dedication page command and added some \cleardoublepage
and page style commands to the quote page command to ensure that
it doesn't overlap with the contents pages.
2005-11-01 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Hacked the example files into much better shape and updated the
documentation to mention the new features and the pre-defined figure widths.
* Added the "deprecated" typeout into the thesis-prefixed commands
and environments.
* Added a sidewaysfigure environment, which introduces a
dependency on the rotating package. It's very standard, so I'm not
bothered. Maybe add an option to disable the rotating dependency later...
* Added the hide{front,back,frontback} options.
2005-09-26 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Finished off the first version of the documentation. Example
files could do with some work which I'm too lazy to do right now
:-)
* Added the \Chapter, \ChapterRef etc. commands from a personal
style file.
2005-09-02 Andy Buckley <andy@insectnation.org>
* Changed \oddsidemargin and \evensidemargin settings to use the
\@bindextramargin length.
* Added bindnopdf option.
* Started ChangeLog entries. Oops, I should have started a bit
earlier, eh?
