    Oliver Kopp submitted an update to the

    scientific-thesis-cover

    package.

    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 fnr 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 UniversitEt 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 fnr Softwaretechnologie" to "Institute of Software Engineering" / "Institut fnr 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 `#` being displayed as `SS` in `UniversitEtsstra#e`. 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).
