4IEEEtran.cls version 1.8 revises format specifications so that the final
5layout more closely matches the layout of the Microsoft Word templates.

7Additionally, the IEEEtran_HOWTO.pdf now includes the notice to not use
8symbols, special characters, or math in the paper title and abstract.

17IEEEtran is the official LaTeX class for authors of the Institute of
18Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) transactions journals and
19conferences. The latest version of the IEEEtran package can be found
20at CTAN:

24as well as within IEEE's site:

33Version 1.7a is a bug fix release that corrects the two column peer
34review title page problem. This problem was not present in the 1.6 series.
35
36
37V1.7 is a significant update over the 1.6 series with many important
38changes. For a full list, please read the file changelog.txt. The most
39notable changes include:
40
41 1. New class option compsoc to support the IEEE Computer Society format.
42
43 2. Several commands and environments have been deprecated in favor of
44    replacements with IEEE prefixes to better avoid potential future name
45    clashes with other packages. Legacy code retained to allow the use of
46    the obsolete forms (for now), but with a warning message to the console
47    during compilation:
48    \IEEEauthorblockA, \IEEEauthorblockN, \IEEEauthorrefmark,
49    \IEEEbiography, \IEEEbiographynophoto, \IEEEkeywords, \IEEEPARstart,
50    \IEEEproof, \IEEEpubid, \IEEEpubidadjcol, \IEEEQED, \IEEEQEDclosed,
51    \IEEEQEDopen, \IEEEspecialpapernotice. IEEEtran.cls now redefines
52    \proof in way to avoid problems with the amsthm.sty package.
53    For IED lists:
54    \IEEEiedlabeljustifyc, \IEEEiedlabeljustifyl, \IEEEiedlabeljustifyr,
55    \IEEEnocalcleftmargin, \IEEElabelindent, \IEEEsetlabelwidth,
56    \IEEEusemathlabelsep
57    These commands/lengths now require the IEEE prefix and do not have
58    legacy support: \IEEEnormaljot.
59    For IED lists: \ifIEEEnocalcleftmargin, \ifIEEEnolabelindentfactor,
60    \IEEEiedlistdecl, \IEEElabelindentfactor
61
62 3. New \CLASSINPUT, \CLASSOPTION and \CLASSINFO interface allows for more
63    user control and conditional compilation.
64
65 4. Several bug fixes and improved compatibility with other packages.
66
67
68A note to those who create classes derived from IEEEtran.cls: Consider the
69use of patch code, either in an example .tex file or as a .sty file,
70rather than creating a new class. The IEEEtran.cls CLASSINPUT interface
71allows IEEEtran.cls to be fully programmable with respect to document
72margins, so there is no need for new class files just for altered margins.
73In this way, authors can benefit from updates to IEEEtran.cls and the need
74to maintain derivative classes and backport later IEEEtran.cls revisions
75thereto is avoided. As always, developers who create classes derived from
76IEEEtran.cls should use a different name for the derived class, so that it
77cannot be confused with the official/base version here, as well as provide
78authors with technical support for the derived class. It is generally a bad
79idea to produce a new class that is not going to be maintained.
