2020/10/29

Added

• Added a section about gender-sensitive language and writing style.
• Cleanup of technical issues (software setup, workflow, printing) in HgbThesisTutorial.
• Changed bibliography section titles from Audio-visual media (Audiovisuelle Medien) to Media (Medien) to include media types that are non-A/V (e.g., still images).
• Added hints in HgbThesisTutorial for citing musical scores. Modified Appendix B (listing of supplementary materials),
  replacing obsolete CD/DVD by cloud archive submission.
• Modified repository setup (without GIT submodules) and adapted build process. All build-related parts are now contained in the new dev/ directory, where .sty, .cls and .bib files are stored in a single place (dev/latex/). The build process updates the documents/ and dev/ctan/ directories. There is no duplication of document source files, all are in documents/. Release dates are now automatically inserted (during build) into any date field, the 9999/01/01 dummy markers are not required any more. Experimental: latexmk is used in the build process.
• hgbthesis.cls now issues a package warning if trying to define multiple authors inside the \author{..} command. The \and and \thanks{..} commands are suppressed.
• Added PythonCode environment to include Python code in listings environments. Moved all build-related elements to a separate non-public repository, leaving only user-relevant parts in HagenbergThesis.
• Added a new load-time check to validate if the currently used hagenberg-thesis installation is no older than 365 days (in hgb.sty). Otherwise a warning is issued with a reminder to check for updates on Github. This check can be suppressed by passing the new class option noUpdateCheck. In all .cls files the handling of class options was modified to pass all non-declared options to hgb.sty. In this course, the (obsolete) datetime package was replaced by the datetime2 package (2bc1895).
• Added information on how/when to use the @unpublished biblatex tag in examples/HgbThesisTutorial (90296ea).

Changed

• Top-level folder examples renamed to documents.

Fixed

• Fixed error with \DTMgermanmonthname

2019/05/16

Added

• Added support for "smart quotes" using the csquotes package. To activate, pass the option smartquotes to any of the hgb document classes (all sample documents are set up to use this option). Remove document option smartquotes if traditional handling of quotes is desired. See examples/HgbThesisTutorial (Sec. 3.4.4) for details.

Changed

• Added new listings definitions for JavaScript (including ES6, Node.js and a few others).

Fixed
