CHENCHONG CHARLES ZHU THESIS
FOR DEPARTMENT OF ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS - UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO

This is a modified version of the UofT Thesis Template 
(http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ut-thesis/), partly
inspired by Mubdi Rahman's template for DAA graduate students.  Version
history from original template can be found under "OLD README".

This version includes a python ADS compiler in the spirit of Marten's
bash-based compiler.  Makefile calls this to automatically compile ADS
references, and references outside of ADS can be added on.  See
fetch_bibliography.py's docstring for more info.

TODO:
- [2012/12/06] Redefinition of \thebibliography not compatible with
  packages like natbib. Figure out how to fix this.

v2.1: 2013/09/25 (Francois Pitt)
- Changed definition of dedication environment to simply format its
  paragraph flush right with no header -- this also helps fix a bug
  where LaTeX complains of a "missing \item" when both dedication and
  acknowledgement sections are used (reported by Bardia Bina).

v2.0: 2012/06/01 (Francois Pitt)
- Rewritten to use standard packages: `setspace' to handle line spacing
  and `geometry' for page layout.  Some options and macros have been
  renamed from v1.8, hence the change of major version number -- this
  version is _not_ fully backward-compatible because of these changes.
- Renamed `oneandahalfspaced' option to `onehalfspaced' (for consistency
  with `setspace' package).
- Removed `singlespaced', `oneandahalfspaced', `doublespaced', and
  `spacing' environments -- use environments from `setspace' package
  instead.
- Renamed `spacednotes' option to `standardspacednotes' and added
  `singlespacednotes' option.
- Added options `cleardoublepagestyleempty', `cleardoublepagestyleplain'
  and `cleardoublepagestylestandard' to set the default style for
  cleared pages, and new macros `\clearthesisdoublepage' and
  `\clearstandarddoublepage'.
- Changed default options: now 1 1/2-spaced and LaTeX default font size.
- Renamed `utthesis' page style to `thesis'.
- The abstract is no longer put on a right-side page by default.
- Cleaned up the code and comments throughout.

v1.8: 2000/02/20, 1999/12/10 (Francois Pitt)
- Minor formatting changes to comments.
- Fixed circular definition problem with \currenttextsize that caused
  TeX to run out of input stack memory.

v1.7: 1999/06/02, 1999/05/20, 1999/05/13 (Francois Pitt)
- Minor change to the format of the date printed on every page with the
  `draft' option.
- Minor cosmetic change to the word "DRAFT" printed on the corners of
  every page with the `draft' option.
- Made `draft' mode doublespaced by default (it just makes more sense
  for actual drafts; suggested by Eric Joanis).
- Changed \currenttextsize from a "\newcommand" to a "\let".
- Added "known bugs" above.

v1.6: 1999/03/06 (Francois Pitt)
- Minor change: replaced ``\ifx\empty#1\else...\fi'' with
  ``\ifx\empty#1\empty\else...\fi'' (the former works only by accident
  while the latter is logically correct).

v1.5: 1999/02/17 (Francois Pitt)
- Fixed missing page numbers and headers by removing redefinition of
  \cleardoublepage (reported by Robert Bernecky 1999/02/04 and Nedialko
  Nedialkov 1999/02/12).
- Added \clearemptydoublepage and \clearplaindoublepage commands.
- Removed redefinitions of \tableofcontents, \listoftables, and
  \listoffigures because they already call \clearpage or
  \cleardoublepage by default.
- Removed "\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}" from the page layout section (moved
  to `ut-thesis.tex' where it belongs).
- Added \ignore command to comment out parts of a file.
- Put version macros at the top of the file.
- Changed order of revision comments.

v1.4: 1998/11/05 (Francois Pitt)
- Fixed `abstract' environment so that it is really put on a separate
  page, and changed "\newpage\endgroup" at the end to
  "\par\endgroup\newpage", which is more logical.
- Changed `acknowledgements' environment so that it is *not* put on a
  separate page, allowing users to add other text on that page (e.g.,
  `dedication' described next).
- Added `dedication' environment based on `acknowledgements'
  (suggested by Robert Bernecky 98/11/04).
- Changed page layout so that it is defined in terms of the physical
  page size instead of being hard-coded for letter paper (8.5" x 11").

v1.3: 1998/11/01 (Francois Pitt)
- Fixed `thebibliography' so page headers are generated in the same
  style as for the rest of the thesis.
- Swapped \endgroup and \newpage in definition of `abstract' and
  `acknowledgements' environments, to fix problem with adjusted line
  spacing in `abstract'.
- Renamed `\currentsize' to `\currenttextsize'.
- Added \cleardoublepage at the end of preliminary sections, so that
  page 1 of main text is on right-hand side.

v1.2: 1998/10/20 (Francois Pitt)
- Changed `spacenotes' option to `spacednotes' to have more consistently
  named options.
- Fixed spacing between main text and footnotes.
- Fixed `singlespaced' environment, which didn't seem to work at all
  (reported by Nedialko Nedialkov 98/10/12): Actually, created a
  `newspacing' environment, which takes a parameter, and based
  `singlespaced', `oneandahalfspaced', and `doublespaced' environments
  on `newspacing'.

v1.1: 1998/10/01 (Francois Pitt)
- Fixed bug that caused footnotes to make following tables single-spaced
  (reported by Philip Edmonds 98/09/30).
- Made spacing of marginal notes and footnotes the same.
- Added option to control line spacing of notes.
- Added options to control the size of margins.
- Changed names of temporary macros used in redefinitions to avoid
  conflicts with existing names.

v1.0: 1998/09/29 (Francois Pitt)
- Initial version.
