5IEEEtran is the official LaTeX class for authors of the Institute of
6Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) transactions journals and
7conferences. The latest version of the IEEEtran package can be found
8at CTAN:

12as well as within IEEE's site:

23Version 1.7a is a bug fix release that corrects the two column peer
24review title page problem. This problem was not present in the 1.6 series.
25
26
27V1.7 is a significant update over the 1.6 series with many important
28changes. For a full list, please read the file changelog.txt. The most
29notable changes include:
30
31 1. New class option compsoc to support the IEEE Computer Society format.
32
33 2. Several commands and environments have been deprecated in favor of
34    replacements with IEEE prefixes to better avoid potential future name
35    clashes with other packages. Legacy code retained to allow the use of
36    the obsolete forms (for now), but with a warning message to the console
37    during compilation:
38    \IEEEauthorblockA, \IEEEauthorblockN, \IEEEauthorrefmark,
39    \IEEEbiography, \IEEEbiographynophoto, \IEEEkeywords, \IEEEPARstart,
40    \IEEEproof, \IEEEpubid, \IEEEpubidadjcol, \IEEEQED, \IEEEQEDclosed,
41    \IEEEQEDopen, \IEEEspecialpapernotice. IEEEtran.cls now redefines
42    \proof in way to avoid problems with the amsthm.sty package.
43    For IED lists:
44    \IEEEiedlabeljustifyc, \IEEEiedlabeljustifyl, \IEEEiedlabeljustifyr,
45    \IEEEnocalcleftmargin, \IEEElabelindent, \IEEEsetlabelwidth,
46    \IEEEusemathlabelsep
47    These commands/lengths now require the IEEE prefix and do not have
48    legacy support: \IEEEnormaljot.
49    For IED lists: \ifIEEEnocalcleftmargin, \ifIEEEnolabelindentfactor,
50    \IEEEiedlistdecl, \IEEElabelindentfactor
51
52 3. New \CLASSINPUT, \CLASSOPTION and \CLASSINFO interface allows for more
53    user control and conditional compilation.
54
55 4. Several bug fixes and improved compatibility with other packages.
56
57
58A note to those who create classes derived from IEEEtran.cls: Consider the
59use of patch code, either in an example .tex file or as a .sty file,
60rather than creating a new class. The IEEEtran.cls CLASSINPUT interface
61allows IEEEtran.cls to be fully programmable with respect to document
62margins, so there is no need for new class files just for altered margins.
63In this way, authors can benefit from updates to IEEEtran.cls and the need
64to maintain derivative classes and backport later IEEEtran.cls revisions
65thereto is avoided. As always, developers who create classes derived from
66IEEEtran.cls should use a different name for the derived class, so that it
67cannot be confused with the official/base version here, as well as provide
68authors with technical support for the derived class. It is generally a bad
69idea to produce a new class that is not going to be maintained.
