v1997.030 Feb 1997
First released. JCS

v1997.101 Jul 1997
Added dedication, acknowledgments, and copyright pages. Created documentation 
using |doc| package. JCS

v1997.229 Sep 1997
Renamed to usfmanus; added thesis, dissertation and vita options. H J Gohel.

v1997.330 Oct 1997
Fixed spacing in frontmatter for the case in which there are more than five 
committee members. Also started working on and command overloading for multiple 
major profs. JCS

v1997.419 Dec 1997
Added |mylists| command to provide simple interface for adding 'Lists of' 
(e.g., List of Programs, List of Acronyms, etc.). JCS

v1997.52 Jan 1998
Changed error reporting for missing information. If using |final| option errors 
are generated. Otherwise, it's just warnings. Played with a couple of 
mechanisms for counting words. Not as easy as it seems if appendix or vita 
contain (La)TeX commands/equations. JCS

v1997.67 Jan 1998
Removed bold from chapter entries in TOC and fixed some of the co-major stuff. 
Doing more will probably require slightly changing the majorproftitle 
interface. Note: H J Gohel got formatting approved by Grad School, so next 
release should be first ``official'' release. JCS

v1998.125 Mar 1998
We'll call this the first official since others have started using it quite a 
bit. Well, we don't have any other milestones anyway! Fixed (hopefully) 
raggedbottomness of abstract page and orphaning of abstract signature block. 
Also, fixed right justification of abstract signature block for people with a 
title shorter than their name (beware of these people!). No new improvements 
like co-major handling---but there isn't a demand for this yet anyway. Need to 
prevent hyphenation in chapter (all?) TOC entries. JCS

v1998.231 Mar 1998
Fixed copyright page. JCS

v1999.110 Mar 1999
Added sheet numbering, so that the page numbers are output in [page.sheet] 
format. The advantage being one can use the sheet number as a parameter to 
dvips to print specific pages of the manuscript (with help from Donald 
Arseneau, asnd@triumf.ca); typeout message for vita page; minor changes to 
dissertation sample file. HJG

v1999.214 May 1999
Subsubsections were not being numbered, and were using italic fonts. Changed it 
to roman font, and enabled subsubsection numbering. HJG

v1999.302 Jul 1999
"An Abstract" on abstract title page changed from roman/underlined to italics 
as per College of Engineering requirements. HJG

v1999.4Jul 20 1999
(1) Reduced spacing after heading on LOT and and LOF pages to match spacing 
after TOC. (2) Removed space below signature line on Abstract signature page. 
Requested by J Giles for Hitoshi Oi's dissertation. (3) On Certificate of 
Approval page, spacing for member signatures was increased in the case of MS 
theses with 3/4 members, as requested for Anup Singh's thesis. For 5/6 members, 
spacing remains same due to lack of space. HJG and Hitoshi Oi

v1999.505 Aug 1999
Appendix chapter heading changed to mixed case, both in TOC and in Appendix. 
Requested for Donald Anderson's thesis, J Giles (Graduate school). HJG

v1999.612 Nov 1999
Changed case of Appendix continuation pages. Changed spacing on certificate of 
approval page. Changes requested by USF Grad School, Janet Giles. Period after 
chapter number and appendix chapter entries removed in TOC, requested by K. 
Johnson for Sunitha B.'s thesis. Spelling of acknowledgment made consistent. 
Only American spelling "acknowledgment" is accepted! HJG
