    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The asmeconf class is a template to format conference papers published by the American
    Society of Mechanical Engineers.

    This version eliminates legacy class options and several blocks of legacy code, updates
    the sample figures, makes minor changes to the BibTeX style, revises internal option
    handling, and streamlines other code. With luaLaTeX, fontspec is now loaded by default,
    but a new option \[nofontspec\] will prevent that.

    The layout and references styles of asmeconf follow the styles requested by ASME in 2024.
    Hyperlinks and pdf features are fully supported. The class includes a modern BibTeX
    style, asmeconf.bst, that supports online sources, URL and DOI fields, and generates
    current reference styles. This .bst can replace the old asmems4.bst. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Changes in this version include: a variety of edits and updates to the underlying code;

    rescaling the Latin fonts under LuaLaTeX to match those in pdfTeX; and the addition of a
    few new commands. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Summary description: A LaTeX template for ASME conference papers

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------


    The asmeconf class is a LaTeX template to format conference papers published by the American Society of Mechanical
    Engineers.

    This version includes changes to support tagged pdf. The title and author blocks
    are recoded into expl3 with adjustments to support tagged pdf. The metalogo and xcoffins packages have been dropped in favor of the hologo package and direct use of expl3 coffins.

    An experimental (and undocumented) option [captionpatch] supports tagging of the
    caption package, which is loaded by the class. With this option and current LaTeX tagging support, asmeconf pdfs can validate as PDF 2.0/A-4F provided that [spanish] option is omitted. (PDF 2.0/UA-2 validation is not possible at present.)

    Other changes include: revisions internal some variable names; better segregation of packages loaded for compatibility; and minor changes to asmewide.sty.

    Summary description: A LaTeX template for ASME conference papers

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The asmeconf class is a LaTeX template to format conference papers
    published by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

    This version introduces support for unicode-math, which is now loaded
    by default with lualatex. The required fonts are in TeX Live.

    Several legacy options and commands have been eliminated.
    More of the code has been converted to expl3 from latex2e.
    A number of minor improvements to the code have been made throughout,
    particularly to ensure backward compatibility to 2021 formats and
    packages.
    Most of the supporting files have been updated.
    Further details are in the README file.

    The following packages are no longer loaded: ifthen, iftex,
    hyphensubst, mathalfa, hologo (now in the .tex file), as well as
    these packages that were formerly loaded only as fallbacks:
    hyperxmp, bookmark, and inputenc.
    The kvoptions package now loads only for backward compatibility
    if needed.

    An option to omit the conference headers has been added.

    PDFA/UA-2 compliance is now possible using LuaLaTeX by:
    omitting subcaptions and certain language options, using
    compliant figures, and calling the class option [captionpatch],
    while using appropriate options to \DocumentMetadata.
    PDFA/UA-2 compliance is complete according demo.verapdf.org.
    The Arlington model also validates this package if, additionally,
    cross-references are omitted from captions.
    An entirely up-to-date installation is necessary for UA-2 compliance.
