# Version 6.3.2 is a LAST v6+ release of AASTeX | ||
It incorporates style and bug fixes provided by Alfred de Wijn (@dwijn) who posted v6.3.1 with style and bug fixes as a PR (#156). | ||
No further pull requests, bug fixes, or other code changes will be made to v6+. | ||

## AASTeX6 | ||
The Version 6.3.1 style files and documentation for authoring [AAS Journal](https://journals.aas.org) articles in LaTeX2e were released on March 1, 2021. A list of updates and changes provided by Version 6.3.1 can be found in the [AASTeX Revision History](https://journals.aas.org/aastex-revisionhistory/). Version 6.3.1 is backwards compatible with v6.2 and v6.1 but no prior version of AASTeX (i.e. not < v6.0). | ||
The Version 6.3.2 style files and documentation for authoring [AAS Journal](https://journals.aas.org) articles in LaTeX2e were developed on GitHub by the AASTeX user community as extensions of the official Version 6.3.1 release. | ||
The official Version 6.3.1 release is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/AASJournals/AASTeX60/releases/tag/v6.3.1) and on the [AAS Journals website](https://journals.aas.org/aastex-package-for-manuscript-preparation/). | ||

## BibTeX | ||
This repository also includes the AAS Journals BibTeX style file, [aasjournal.bst](bst/aasjournal.bst), which was last updated June 3, 2019 (v1.18). This is our BST file that supports the `version` and `publisher` fields of an `@misc` BibTeX entry. The most recent update added anchored links to reference source material, e.g., links to article DOIs, arXiv preprints, and/or [ASCL](http://ascl.net) identifiers. These are explicit inline text links to ensure that the identifiers are available in the full text. This is why we do not endorse more compact anchor-linked BibTeX styles, e.g., `yahapj.bst.` | ||

While the AAS Journals encourage developers to post preferred citations for their codes and encourage authors to cite all software that supports their research articles, citation of AASTeX or acknowledgement of the developers and maintainers of this package is traditionally seen as inappropriate and is not requested. | ||

AASTeX originated 28 years ago with a set of LaTeX macros developed by [Bob Hanisch and Chris Biemesderfer](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/#abs/1989BAAS...21..780H/abstract). While a more detailed history is available in the [sample document](sample/sample61.tex), we want to recognize the most recent contributions of individual astronomers to AASTeX 6 here. A partial list includes: | ||
|
||
+ Dan Foreman-Mackey (@dfm) and David Hogg (@davidwhogg) authored a [series of readability and layout modifications of AASTeX v6.0](https://github.com/dfm/peerless/blob/master/document/ms.tex#L19-L69) in a recent manuscript that were incorporated into v6.1 as the *"modern"* document style. | ||
+ We thank the many users who have supplied issues directly to the AAS Data Editors in charge of AASTeX development or as issues (ongoing or closed) on this repository. We especially thank Alex Drlica-Wagner (@kadrlica) for developing fixes to many of the issues identified by authors. He also maintains a fork that is pretty much always ahead of ours, as we almost never accept his otherwise excellent PRs. | ||
