# Changelog All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file. The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/). Since version 4.0.0, this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/). ## [Unreleased] ## [4.1.0] - 2026-06-12 ### Added - Update the declaration to cover the use of AI tools: the affirmation text now references a "Use of AI Tools" appendix and the *Principles for the Use of Artificial Intelligence by Students at the University of Stuttgart*. See [#30](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/30) and [#36](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/36). - Add `Institute for Natural Language Processing` (`ims`, German: "Institut für Maschinelle Sprachverarbeitung") as an institute option, including its own address. See [#22](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/22) and [#23](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/23). - Add `VISUS` (Visualization Research Center / Visualisierungsinstitut der Universität Stuttgart) as an institute option, including its own address. See [#27](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/27). - Add the ability to add a logo at the top of the coverpage. See [#28](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/28). - Add document confirmations for multiple authors. See [#24](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/24). - Add `prozessanalyse` as a thesis type. See [#21](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/21). ### Changed - Rename the `iste` institute from "Institute of Software Technology" / "Institut für Softwaretechnologie" to "Institute of Software Engineering" / "Institut für Software Engineering". See [#32](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/32). - Switched continuous integration from CircleCI to GitHub Actions, installing TeX Live via [`zauguin/install-texlive`](https://github.com/zauguin/install-texlive) with the dependency list in `tl_packages` (generated with [@islandoftex/texmf/depp](https://gitlab.com/islandoftex/texmf/depp)). See [#37](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/37). - Added a GitHub Actions workflow that builds the CTAN submission archive (`release.sh`, the Linux port of `release.bat`) on every push, verifying that pandoc and `ctanify` produce `scientific-thesis-cover.tar.gz`. See [#37](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/37). ### Fixed - Fix `\Versicherung` / `\Affirmation` in two-column documents by declaring the internal two-column flag with `\providecommand`. See [#24](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/24). - Fix `ß` being displayed as `SS` in `Universitätsstraße`. See [#29](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/29). - Fix English name of IPVS: "Institute **for** Parallel and Distributed Systems" instead of "Institute **of** Parallel and Distributed Systems". See [#34](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/34) and [#35](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/35). - Load `csquotes` so that `\enquote` in the affirmation text (AI tools declaration) is defined. See [#37](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/37). - Load `iftex`/`ifluatex` so that `\ifluatex` is defined again, fixing an `Extra \fi` error on current TeX Live. See [#37](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/37). ## [4.0.2] - 2018-06-03 ### Fixed - Also include `demo.tex` and `CHANGELOG.md` in CTAN upload. ## [4.0.1] - 2018-06-03 ### Fixed - Fix `\USCCover@setLanguage` to have correct `{}` in the implementation. ### Changed - CTAN distributions contains `scientific-thesis-cover.pdf` instead of `README.md` to be consistent with other packages. ## [4.0.0] - 2016-12-30 ### Added - Added shorthand for sec institute. - Added `demo.tex` which produces `demo.pdf` providing a short illustration. ### Changed - Renamed repository from uni-stuttgart-cs-cover to scientific-thesis-cover to stress that the cover also can be used at other institutions. - Numbers are now optional. - Cover is sans serif again. ### Removed - Removed `thesis.tex` as we recommend . - Removed "CR classification" as the [ACM Computing Classification System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACM_Computing_Classification_System) from [1998](https://www.acm.org/about-acm/class/how-to-use) is superseeded by a very different system from [2012](https://www.acm.org/publications/class-2012).
