Details

Full Changelog: 6.9.0...6.9.4

(Unit) Tested Positive ;)

This version passed 100% of the tests using the new unit testing script that builds all the reasonable combinations of processor/university-school/document-type/language/school-specific-options. This means the template builds successfully for all the schools using all the possible LaTeX processors (in some cases pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX and XeLaTeX; in some other cases just LuaLaTeX and XeLaTeX).

This release also includes full support for “ulisboa/fmv” and “nova/itqb”.

Converging to stability? ;)

This release include many bug fixes and improvements.

Yet another small step

This is an "internal" upgrade, allowing both the advisers and committee members to be printed in three formats: list, one column, and two columns.

IMPORTANT: This release introduces an incompatibility with previous releases.
Previously, the adviser and co-adviser were declared in file 5_cover.tex as:

\ntaddperson{adviser}[gender]{Name, Position, School}
\ntaddperson{coadviser}[role,gender]{Name, Position, School}

and the new format/syntax as

\ntaddperson{adviser}[role,gender]{Name, Position, School}
%   For [role] use: [a] for adviser
%                   [c] for co-adviser
%   For [gender] use: [f] for female
%                     [m] for male
