%% The following notes from Kelley are confusing even to him. See the

%%  the file whose history is indicated in the following comments.)
%%
%% Dalhousie University Computer Science Thesis Document Class
%%
%% Version 2.11 and higher:
%% By Dan Kelley
%% Changes from version 2.10: see README and other files on
%%     https://github.com/dankelley/dal-oce-thesis
%% for all version updates, bug reports, etc.
%%
%% Version 2.10 <2010/01/04>
%% By Dan Kelley
%% Changes from version 2.9:
%%     - change spacing before and after all types of sections,
%%       with the intention of decreasing large gaps that 
%%       tended to occur in documents containing large 
%%       unbreakable items such as figures.
%%
%% Version 2.9 <2008/08/13>
%% By Dan Kelley
%% Changes from version 2.8:
%%     - Prevent conflict with the gensymb package
%%     - Ensure that the dedication works
%%
%% Version 2.8 <2008/07/16>
%% By Dan Kelley
%% Changes from version 2.7:
%%     - Let MSc have an external examiner
%%
%% Version 2.7 <2006/12/05>
%% By Vlado Keselj
%% Changes from version 2.6:
%%     - Some bugs fixed
%%
%% Version 2.6 <2006/11/18>
%% By Mike McAllister
%% Adapted from:
%%    Changes from version 2.5 as required by FGS:
%%      - Title must be capitalized everywhere.  Added command
%%        \mixedCaseTitle to in case the title needs mixed case, at
%%        which point the author of the dissertation takes on the 
%%        responsibility of getting the case right.
%%      - Even spacing on title bage between title, "by" and author name
%%      - Put lower part of title page in single space
%%      - Capitalized words on author signature page as required
%%
%% Version 2.5 <2006/08/31>
%% By Mike McAllister
%% Adapted from:
%%    Changes from version 2.4 as required by FGS:
%%      - Divided \defencedate{} into three parts (\defencemonth,
%%        \defenceday, \defenceyear) so that correct use of commas
%%        can be guaranteed and so that consistency of dates is ensured
%%        in the document.  =defencedate{}, \submitdate{}, and 
%%        \copyrightyear{} are no longer needed.
%%      - Removed the bolding from the signature and copyright pages
%%      - Ensured that long titles appear single spaced on the copyright page
%%      - Added extra space before the author name on the title page
%%
%% Version 2.4 <2005/02/24>
%% By Mike McAllister, Vlado Keselj
%% Adapted from:
%%    Changes from version 2.3 as required by FGS:
%%      - Made the notation on the title page and the release page
%%        at least 12 point
%%      - adapted the figure and table caption entries so that long
%%        captions are single-spaced in the list of tables or figures
%%      - made the glossary package inline with the thesis class file
%%        so that we can then override the glossary entry item and make
%%        long glossary items single-spaced
%%      - Made the text height an additional 0.25 inches bigger to
%%        push the page number into the lower inch of the bottom margin
%%      - Used \defencedate{} on pages ii and iii instead of 
%%        \submitdate{} (title page) since the title page should just
%%        have month/year while pages ii and iii need a full date
%%
%% Dalhousie University Computer Science Thesis Document Class
%% Version 2.3 <2004/11/04>
%% By Mike McAllister
%% Adapted from:
%%    Version 2.2 of the Mathematics dalthesis.cls style by Clyde Clements
%%    With input from Todd Eavis, Billy Biggs, and Andrew Rau-Chaplin
%%    Changes from version 2.2:
%%      - added tags for the computer science degrees
%%      - added a notion of the number of signatures for each degree
%%        to generate blank signature lines as necessary
%%      - added ellipses to chapter-level table of contents entries
%%      - fixed the dal@readernumber counter
%%      - made the title page lower case
%%   These changes were made directly to the .cls file so the file is no
%%   longer generated by the docstrip utility from the dtx file.
