The template had recently been refactored to accommodate the BibLaTeX package as the default for producing bibliographies. This package relies on the babel package. The babel package, if enabled, changes the name of the Table of Contents to Contents. Additional macros have been added to the documents in the sample and thesis-template directories to reset the ToC name to Table of Contents. No change has been made to the fsuthesis.cls file itself.
If you have this issue with your document, rather than downloading
a new FSUthesis package, you can fix this
by adding the following line to the document preamble after
the \usepackage[american]{babel} line:
\addto\captionsamerican{\renewcommand*{\contentsname}{Table of Contents}}

Some minor adjustments were made to set the page number at 3/4-inch from the bottom of the page, rather than at 1-inch as in previous templates. This complies with the Guidelines specification, though this change had not been brought to my attention previously. Some minor enhancements were also made to the User Guide and sample documents regarding BibLaTeX.

The template has been updated to accommodate the BibLaTeX package, which is superceding the BibTeX package that comes packaged with LaTeX by default. Documentation and examples have been updated to reflect this change, indicating the preference for the BibLaTeX environment over BibTeX for most use cases. This version is compliant with the 2019-2020 Guidelines.

The version of the ZIP file dated 2016-02-12 had been packaged with extra linefeed characters. I have replaced the previous ZIP file with a new package without the extra linefeeds. If you had problems with the previous download, try the new one. This only fixes packaging: there are no other changes to documentation or functionality.
This version makes a small change in the class file to avoid reporting a non-fatal "color stack 0" warning when running pdftex and including the graphicx package. Otherwise, this version is functionally identical to v3.7.0, and upgrading from that version is optional.

The template has been updated to version 3.5.0. This corrects a problem on the lists of tables, figures, and musical examples when there are many long captions. LaTeX's default behavior was to prevent page breaks mid-caption; with several long captions, this could cause bad vertical spacing on the page. This version adjusts LaTeX's behavior to allow breaking the lists of captions across a page boundary.
