Version 1.7a is a bug fix release that corrects the two column peer
review title page problem. This problem was not present in the 1.6 series.
V1.7 is a significant update over the 1.6 series with many important
changes. For a full list, please read the file changelog.txt. The most
notable changes include:
1. New class option compsoc to support the IEEE Computer Society format.
A note to those who create classes derived from IEEEtran.cls: Consider the
use of patch code, either in an example .tex file or as a .sty file,
rather than creating a new class. The IEEEtran.cls CLASSINPUT interface
allows IEEEtran.cls to be fully programmable with respect to document
margins, so there is no need for new class files just for altered margins.
In this way, authors can benefit from updates to IEEEtran.cls and the need
to maintain derivative classes and backport later IEEEtran.cls revisions
thereto is avoided. As always, developers who create classes derived from
IEEEtran.cls should use a different name for the derived class, so that it
cannot be confused with the official/base version here, as well as provide
authors with technical support for the derived class. It is generally a bad
idea to produce a new class that is not going to be maintained.
