Version number: 4.1.0 2026-06-12
License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Provides cover page and affirmation at the end of a thesis
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-awaited update
### Added
- Update the declaration to cover the use of AI tools: the affirmation text now
references a "Use of AI Tools" appendix and the *Principles for the Use of
Artificial Intelligence by Students at the University of Stuttgart*. See
[#30](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/30) and
[#36](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/36).
- Add `Institute for Natural Language Processing` (`ims`, German: "Institut für
Maschinelle Sprachverarbeitung") as an institute option, including its own address.
See [#22](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/22) and
[#23](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/23).
- Add `VISUS` (Visualization Research Center / Visualisierungsinstitut der
Universität Stuttgart) as an institute option, including its own address. See
[#27](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/27).
- Add the ability to add a logo at the top of the coverpage. See
[#28](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/28).
- Add document confirmations for multiple authors. See
[#24](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/24).
- Add `prozessanalyse` as a thesis type. See
[#21](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/21).
### Changed
- Rename the `iste` institute from "Institute of Software Technology" / "Institut für
Softwaretechnologie" to "Institute of Software Engineering" / "Institut für Software
Engineering". See [#32](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/32).
- Switched continuous integration from CircleCI to GitHub Actions, installing
TeX Live via
[`zauguin/install-texlive`](https://github.com/zauguin/install-texlive) with
the dependency list in `tl_packages` (generated with
[@islandoftex/texmf/depp](https://gitlab.com/islandoftex/texmf/depp)). See
[#37](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/37).
- Added a GitHub Actions workflow that builds the CTAN submission archive
(`release.sh`, the Linux port of `release.bat`) on every push, verifying that
pandoc and `ctanify` produce `scientific-thesis-cover.tar.gz`. See
[#37](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/37).
### Fixed
- Fix `\Versicherung` / `\Affirmation` in two-column documents by declaring the
internal two-column flag with `\providecommand`. See
[#24](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/24).
- Fix `ß` being displayed as `SS` in `Universitätsstraße`. See
[#29](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/29).
- Fix English name of IPVS: "Institute **for** Parallel and Distributed Systems" instead
of "Institute **of** Parallel and Distributed Systems". See
[#34](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/34) and
[#35](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/35).
- Load `csquotes` so that `\enquote` in the affirmation text (AI tools
declaration) is defined. See
[#37](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/37).
- Load `iftex`/`ifluatex` so that `\ifluatex` is defined again, fixing an
`Extra \fi` error on current TeX Live. See
[#37](https://github.com/latextemplates/scientific-thesis-cover/pull/37).
