------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGELOG for revtex4asa.cls ------------------------------------------------------------------- v. 1.4 (06 Dec 2004) No changes v. 1.3 (02 Sep 2004) + Added option "authoryear" to allow for references in the alphabetic bibliographic style. + Added option "nofigs" to allow figure output to be suppressed when used with the \ifoutputfig conditional. ------------------------------------------------------------------- CHANGELOG for asa.rtx ------------------------------------------------------------------- v. 1.4 (06 Dec 2004) + Added \makeendnotes command to allow endnotes to be output in the case that alphabetical references (Author, Year) are used. In preprint mode, the endnotes are output in a separate section entitled "Notes". In the galley mode, the endnotes are output in a separate section before the alphabetized list of references. This makes the style file now fully compatible with the alphabetical style. Note that the "endnotes" package must be employed for this to work properly. + Fixed bug in which the bibliography in galley mode was output with font size \normalsize instead of \footnotesize. v. 1.3 (02 Sep 2004) + Removed "Received:" from title page. + Removed "Short title:" from title page. + Added date to title page. + Added \ifoutputfig conditional. + Added code to suppress figure output with "nofigs" option. + Added code to allow alphabetic bibliographic references with "authoryear" option. ------------------------------------------------------------------- KNOWN BUGS ------------------------------------------------------------------- + When using textual footnotes style, footnotes should be intercalated and numbered consecutively in order of first appearance. This is contrary to REVTeX, which puts all the footnotes at the end of all citations. + In galley mode, the width of long affiliations isn't the same as the width of the abstract. + The line spacing in the body of the text isn't quite double-spaced. Suggestions for fixes as are welcome. Reports of bugs are also welcome (although more welcome if they come with fixes!). ------------------------------------------------------------------- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ward Johnson: for the original inspiration for REVTeX for JASA.
