v1.0.0

Let's call it stable. The API is fine and relevant features are covered.

There is just a single addition. There should be no breaking change. 🎉

• Added the linkcoloring class option, which will color all links within the document. Thanks @jns-rchtr for bringing that up.

v0.4

The changes compared to the previous release are outlined below. There should be no breaking change. 🎉

• Added the assignment parameter to the basimple environment. This should optionally point to a PDF file, which first page will be included right after the titlepage.
• Added the boolean blocknotice parameter to the basimple environment, which determines if a blocknotice will be included or not. It's true per default.
• Added \captioncite intended to be used with the source parameter of bafigure and batable. It's basically \textcite but with a larger clickable area for the link.
• Added proper formatting for the @unpublished citetype for citing internal documents.
• Every acronym links to its respective entry in the list of acronyms now.
• URLs in the bibliography can now be broken across multiple lines. Some additional potential break points have been added to the bibliography style.
• Multi-line captions are now centered.
• When using pdftex the font encoding is now set to T1. This allows accented characters to be properly copied from the final document.
• The default pdftex font "Computer Modern" does not look good when combined with the T1 encoding. The template loads "Latin Modern" instead, which little to no visual difference.
• Improved documentation.

v0.3

The changes compared to the previous release are outlined below. There should be no breaking change. 🎉

• Removed the indentation from entries in the list of tables and list of figures.
• The glossary now uses a table-like spacing.

v0.2

The changes compared to the previous release are outlined below. There should be no breaking change. 🎉

• Added a proper solution for appendices. The baappx environment will take care of that.
• \mktitle now has a type parameter that will add the paper's type to the titlepage. Valid values are: thesis, study, report and not setting the parameter.
• The basimple environment has a type parameter that will be forwarded to \mktitle.
• The basimple environment now includes an abstract, if \basimpleabstract is defined before \begin{basimple}[...].
• Citekeys in the footnotes created by \bacite and \vglcite now link to their respective bibliography entries.

Complete Rewrite

The changes compared to the old version are outlined below:

• The template now works with all TeX engines.
• The template is now a proper LaTeX documentclass and has a proper biblatex style. This simplifies usage.
• There is a "simple" mode, which configures everything with reasonable defaults.
• Added a documentation website. Check it out: https://nuckal777.github.io/ba-latex-template/ .
• bafigure and batable are environments now. Their labels, sources and placement can now be adjusted.
• Not necessarily required packages have been stripped from the template.
• The bibliography style can be used without the rest of the template.
• Bug fixes regarding the bibliography style.
• Spacing changed a bit due to the adoption of setspace.
• The usage of \noindent to get compliant paragraphs is not required anymore.
