Features

The current class presents considerable changes on class implementation and features.

The main remarkable changes are:

1. Unsupported non-based POLI-USP standards fixes: functions, headers, titles, table of contents, among others;
2. Code refactor: added comments to allow maintainability. The new class has half the previous class size;
3. Bad practices removal: undesirable fancyhdr e geometry;
4. Pre-textual implementation changes;
5. New features:
   • pre-textual and under chapter titles epigraph;
   • \part;
   • multiple authors;
   • Bachelor thesis;
6. "(Falsa) folha de rosto" recommended versions (Original|Corrigida).

Remark: Feature 6 has no lock on provided and recommended versions. It means, the user may assign e.g. \folhaderosto{pineapple} without warning or error log message.
