pkuthss
package.
Version number: 1.5.0
License type: other-free
Summary description: LaTeX template for dissertations in Peking University
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes (relative to v1.4 rc4)
------------------------------
* Changes to package code:
- pkuthss.cls: do not disable `uppercase' in `nouppermark' mode.
* Changes to example template:
- Split from documentation.
- Also offer pdf for the example template.
* Changes to documentation:
- Remove support for CRLF (except for Windows .bat's), as required by CTAN.
- Relicense to LPPL v1.3+ (not including the example template).
* Misc:
- Switch to the x.y.z version scheme, thus no longer use alpha/beta/rc.
- Minor fixes and improvements.
Details and trivia
------------------
* The most important change is that we now offer a template
that is much simpler than previous versions, because the
template is now separated from the documentation.
* Another significant change is that we now use the `x.y.z'
version scheme rather than `1.4 alpha1' or so, because we
realise that our release cycle is really non-deterministic,
and the new scheme is more more flexible and suitable for us.
* In fact, v1.4 is released as an intermediate version earlier
today, but not uploaded because CTAN does not seem to host
coexistent versions of the same package ;)
