% Changelog:
% - modifications by Cagatay Turkay and Soumya Dutta on 2019/09/11
%   - modified the preprint article style to contain the IEEE copyright notices to produce IEEE compliant OA preprints.
%   - included two different statements for journal and conference papers
%   - added a new command \ieeedoi for authors to set IEEE generated DOIs on their preprints
%   - added comments on the template.tex for preprint guidance
% - modifications by Tobias Isenberg on 2017/07/05
%   - updated the instructions for author footer in template.tex for the journal template
% - modifications by Tobias Isenberg on 2017/06/14
%   - improved handling of marginpars for conference style, added examples for both styles
% - modifications by Tobias Isenberg on 2017/06/13
%   - updated link to ACM CCS in conference template tex
%   - transitioned to the updated 2012 system to be used with \CCScatTwelve (1998 still possible)
%   - updated CCS examples in conference template tex
%   - added statement in journal template tex to leave the copyright block untouched
%   - updated the DOI links in the bst files to use shorter https version
% - modifications by Filip Sadlo/Tobias Isenberg on 2017/03/16
%   - revived latex mode (as opposed to pdflatex) by disabling \let\ifpdf\relax
%   - note that packages that define \ifpdf (and thus lead to already defined
%     \ifpdf) are obsolete and should be changed to use ifpdf package instead
%   - added a comment to the actual tex template for those with compilation errors
% - modifications by Tobias Isenberg on 2016/07/19
%   - fixed a bug in the hyperref data (missing comma, thanks to Christian
%     Tominski)
%   - adjusted behavior for when \vgtccategory{} is not set in review mode (print
%     out "n/a")
%   - added switch to print out paper type in review mode if desired in review
%     mode, does not print anything if not used
%   - added teaser width computation, limited the entire teaser to the width of
%     the abstract
%   - fixes to the bibTeX templates for how addresses in proceedings are used,
%     now similar to inproceeding
%   - fixes to the bibTeX templates for dois with more than one dash in them
%   - fixes to the bibTeX templates: dois are now linked with https if only the
%     pure doi was given
%   - fixed caption behavior for tables due to caption expected above the table
% - modifications by Filip Sadlo on 2016/03/16
%   - replaced \pdfoutput mechanism by \ifpdf because \pdfoutput was
%     always detecting pdf output mode on current texlive installations
%   - The modification follows the current version of egpubl.cls

%   - improved marginpar
