Name of contribution: hepthesis Author's name: Andy Buckley Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/hepthesis Summary description: A class for academic reports, especially PhD theses. License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

Hepthesis is a LaTeX class for typesetting large academic reports, in particular PhD theses. It was originally developed for typesetting the author’s high-energy physics PhD thesis and includes some features specifically tailored to such an application. In particular, hepthesis offers: -- Attractive semantic environments for various rubric sections; -- Extensive options for draft production, screen viewing and binding-ready output; -- Helpful extensions of existing environments, including equation and tabular; and -- Support for quotations at the start of the thesis and each chapter.

This release is version 1.4, which contains many improvements, including layout bug fixes and tweaks, reduced external package dependencies, improved multi-lingual interaction with babel, and improved documentation. Users of previous versions are encouraged to upgrade.

i have installed the package, and updated the catalogue repository; thanks for the upload.

Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/hepthesis.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/hepthesis

since the installation happened last night, the package should have progressed around the world a fair bit, by now; the catalogue entry itself won't be updated until some time overnight.
