    Benoit Hamel submitted an update to the
    hecthese
    package.
    Version: 3.0 2026-04-20
    License: lppl1.3c
    Summary description: A class for dissertations and theses at HEC Montr|-al Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    This third version of the class is the first major revision since 2023. It is also the first to make full use of the potential of the memoir class from which it is derived.
    The source code has therefore been reviewed, simplified and completely rewritten from scratch. The following is a list of the major changes that distinguish this version of hecthese from the previous one:
    - removal of French versions of commands and environments;
    - customizable doctoral jury member list;
    - optimized integration with the memoir document class;
    - definitive adoption of biblatex for bibliographies;
    - introduction of lualatex as the default compiler.
    Minimum version of TeX Live required: 2025
    Minimum version of memoir document class: 2025/10/02 v3.8.4 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
