    spacing when a new paragraph was started within a biography. Also,
    the presence of \par's, new lines or spaces at the beginning of
    abstract, keywords, biography, or biographynophoto will no longer
    affect the first word spacing.
    Thanks to Eric Durant for reporting this bug.
    
    The biography environment now does a better job in preventing
    a biography photo area from being broken across pages or columns.

 6) Fixed whitespace between \cite entries bug. i.e.,
    both \cite{einstein24, knuth84} and \cite{einstein24,knuth84}
    are now valid. \cite is now a robust command as it should be.
    IEEEtran now no longer defines the old non-standard \shortcite or 
    \citename.
    
    The base IEEEtran.cls does not sort citation numbers or produce ranges
    for three or more consecutive numbers. However, V1.6 of IEEEtran.cls 
    now pre-defines the following format control macros to facilitate easy
    use with Donald Arseneau's cite.sty package (tested with cite.sty V3.9):  

    \def\citepunct{], [}
    \def\citedash{]--[}
    
    cite.sty is standard on most LaTeX sytems and can be obtained from
    www.ctan.org. Thanks to Donald Arseneau for creating cite.sty,
    providing the required format arguments to produce the IEEE style
    and designing a cite interface capable of handling the IEEE citation
    style.
    
    Note: Historically, IEEE has wanted authors to "hardcode" symbolics.
    (i.e., replace all \cite{} with fixed [x]). However, it now seems that
    most electronic manuscript submissions to IEEE are in .pdf format, and 
    as such, do not require the LaTeX document reference numbers to be hard
    coded. If an author is required to submit actual LaTeX files, I do
    recommend that the bibliography file (.bbl) be copied into the .tex
    document and the \bibliographystyle{} and \bibliography{} commands be
    commented out so that the .tex file does not depend on (potentially
    lengthy and/or confidential) external bibliography database files

 7) Adjusted some spacing parameters. The spacing above and below equations
    has been revised (to a typical IEEE value). \jot now has a decent value.
    The title text is now exactly 24pt. (On a related note, \fontsubfuzz has
    been increased to 0.9pt to prevent annoying font substitution warnings
    when using the Computer Modern fonts that use the 24.88pt size.)
    In V1.6, \small is now 8.5pt in 9pt docs because \footnotesize is 8pt.
    For 9pt docs, you should probably go ahead and use \footnotesize when
    you need text a little smaller than \normalsize.
    The interword spacing has been adjusted to be extremely close to that
    which IEEE uses. You can use a new class option, nofonttune, if you need
    to disable the adjusting of the interword spacing. This adjustment and
    an increase to \hyphenpenalty have greatly reduced the amount of
    hyphenation in a typical paper.
       The baselineskip for the normalsize fonts has been tweaked to reduce
    underfull vboxes on journal paper columns with only paragraphs. 
    Conference mode does the same thing but by also tweaking the \textheight
    slightly off 9.25in (IEEE spec) to ensure an integer number of lines per
    page. Draft (also draftcls) mode has also been revised to reduce
    underfull vbox warnings. However, draft mode can still produce underfull
    vboxes (a direct result of the increase in line spacing and margins) if:
    A non-normalsize font occupies an entire column (abstract and index
    terms take up a whole column by themselves); or the beginning of a
    section occurs near the end of a column and cannot be squeezed into the
    bottom, etc. This is normal as draft mode's liberal spacings cannot
    guarantee perfect formatting.

 8) New biographynophoto environment for biographies without photos.
    Usage: 
    
    \begin{biographynophoto}{author name}
    biography text here 
    \end{biographynophoto}
    
 9) Fixed bug that produced multiple table of contents entries for papers
    with more than one biography. Also, biography now works better with
    hyperref.
 
10) New \sublargesize font size command provides for 11pt text in a 10pt
    document. (Needed for things like author names.) For documents not
    using 10pt normal size text, \sublargesize is currently identical 
    to \large.

11) New \IEEEmembership command to provide correct font to indicate IEEE
    membership for journal papers.

12) Fixed author name line overflow problem when in journal mode. This
    problem had been introduced in V1.5 in my rush to get \and to work for
    conferences. \and is unneeded (and invalid) in journal mode. For 
    conference mode, \and will work as expected and features an optional
    spacing argument. i.e., \and[\hspace{5ex}] 
    \and will default (recommended) to using \hfill which will result in
    equal spacing between author blocks.
 
13) New \authorblockN, \authorblockA and \authorrefmark commands to 
    facilitate easy formatting of author names, affiliations and cross
    reference symbols, respectively, when in conference mode. These 
    three commands are to be used only for conference papers.
    In conference mode, \author text is placed within a modified tabular
    environment (somewhat like article.cls). So, within \author in
    conference mode, you should not try to enclose multiple \\ within an
    environment or command (other than the argument braces of
    \authorblockX{}). For example:
    
    \author{\authorblockN{{John Doe \\ Jane Doe}}} % WRONG!
    
    will generate an error. 
  
    Note that font size/attribute changes will now persists across \\
    within \author. (But, not across author blocks nor across \and.)
    However, with the new commands, there should be no need to alter any
    font attributes within \author. All text sizing and spacing within 
    \author{} and the author block commands is per IEEE specs for both 
    conference and journal modes. (In conference mode, the author names
    are only very slightly larger than the affiliations which are in normal
    size.) For specialized applications you can alter the justification of
    author lines by placing \hfill at the beginning or at the end of a line.
    The interline spacing within \author is determined by the font
    attributes that are in effect at the end of each line within author.
 
14) Because the titles and author name blocks use different font
    sizes/styles from the main text, it was possible that two column papers
    with titles that span both columns (standard journal and conference
    papers, but not technotes) with certain numbers of lines for the title
    and authors' name/affiliations can cause underfull vbox problems
    (paragraphs with large spacings between them) in the second column of
    the main text on the title page - if there were no new sections,
    equations or figures in this column (they would provide some needed
    rubber spacing). The use of things like special paper notices and
    publisher ID marks also affected this issue. The problem could not
    happen in the first column because the first column has a rubber length
    around the heading of the first section. Furthermore, problems seldom
    occurred on pages after the first as the margins had been chosen not to
    cause it with the popular font sizes. Rubber lengths after the author
    names would not fix this problem.
       Auto-calculating a "good" spacing after the title is a tad difficult
    to do in LaTeX. However, I am pleased to report that V1.6 has this new
    capability - "dynamically determined title spacing". IEEEtran will now
    measure the height of all the title and author text in \maketitle
    and then calculate a rigid (non-rubber) spacer to follow that meets
    IEEE specs and also produces a \textheight on the title page that
    ensures an integer number of normalsized lines on the rest of the page.
    Single column  papers, and two column papers with the title entirely in
    column one (technotes) do not need dynamic rigid spacing and therefore
    use standard rubber spacers.
    
    Note: This problem can still crop up if you use floats that span both
    columns (i.e., figure*). It has been a decade+ long limitation with
    LaTeX that the stretchable portion of \dbltextfloatsep is ignored. 
    If you get a problem with underful vbox warnings and paragraphs that
    "are pulled apart" on page with a float that spans both columns, tweak
    the space between the figure and the main text a little:
    
    \vskip 5pt
    \end{figure*}
    
    If you can't find a value that fixes both columns, you are going to
    have to put a rubber spacer somewhere in one or both of the columns.
15) Because of change #14 above, those of you using \pubid will, as of V1.6,
    have to place it *before* \maketitle in order for it have the intended 
    affect. The dynamic spacer algorithm must see if you are using \pubid
    when \maketitle is called. \pubidadjcol works as before except that it
    now has additional logic to prevent it from doing anything if \pubid
    was never called.
    
16) In some unusual, non-standard circumstances, an author may desire to
    alter the spacing after the title area or put some unusual text above
    the main text. For instance, to stop a bad break when a new section
    occurs right at the start of the second page. This is difficult to do
    when the title spans both columns of two column text since LaTeX treats
    such title text as a type of float. A new command,
    \IEEEaftertitletext{}, gives access to the end of that produced by
    \maketitle. The types of things that can go into \IEEEaftertitletext
    are the same as those into \twocolumn[] - no \par, but \\ are OK. There
    is no restriction on the range of spacings that can be used. e.g.,
    \IEEEaftertitletext{\vspace{-100pt}} will push the main text well into
    the title and \IEEEaftertitletext{\vspace{100pt}} will push it far down
    the page. You will have complete control. If used, place
    \IEEEaftertitletext{} before \maketitle like \title and \author.
    IEEEtran's dynamic title spacing intentionally does not take into
    consideration the contents of \IEEEaftertitletext{} when determining
    the spacer after the title area (otherwise it would try to second
    guess you), so the user will have manually adjust the height of the
    contents in \IEEEaftertitletext{} if the problem discussed in #14 above
    should develop. A safe bet is to keep the height of contents of
    \IEEEaftertitletext{} to integer multiples of \baselineskip, e.g.,
    \IEEEaftertitletext{\vspace{-1\baselineskip}} 
    
    Because it can result in an IEEE nonstandard format, the use of
    \IEEEaftertitletext{} is discouraged. Possible uses include (1) the use
    of IEEEtran for non-IEEE work with different title spacing requirements,
    or (2) as an emergency manual override if a problem should develop in 
    IEEEtran's automatic spacing algorithm.
 
17) completely rewritten \PARstart to:
    a. no longer have problems when the user begins an environment
       within the paragraph that uses \PARstart.
    b. auto-detect and use the current font family
    c. revise handling of the space at the end of the first word so that
       interword glue will now work as normal.
    d. produce correctly aligned edges for the (two) indented lines.

    Because the current font family is now auto-detected, there is no
    longer any need for \CMPARstart - it is now the same as \PARstart.
   
18) There is now a new "open box" Q.E.D. symbol (\QEDopen) as well as the
    original default (\QED) closed one (\QEDclosed). Some journals use
    the open form. To make \proof use the open form, just do:
    \renewcommand{\QED}{\QEDopen}

19) Additional \typeout{} notices added to warn the user when unusual 
    settings/commands are detected or as reminders to avoid common errors
    when in conference mode.

20) IEEEtran now provides \abovecaptionskip and \belowcaptionskip skip
    registers because article class provides them and some packages
    may error if they are missing. However, IEEEtran only uses 
    \abovecaptionskip for actual caption spacing.

21) Fixed bug that prevented users from redefining the section headings
    to use arabic digits. Thanks to Richardt H. Wilkinson for reporting
    this bug.

22) Code cleaned up to be more efficient with the use of TeX registers;
    removed some old LaTeX 2.09 code; revised option processing to 
    LaTeX2e standard; eliminated unwanted "phantom" spaces in some
    environments.
