 \begin{abstract}
   The goal of this template is to produce electronic output to be uploaded to Skemman that can be later printed out and bound into a professional looking textbook that fits on standard library shelves.
-  It is important to note that A4 paper when bound requires taller shelf spacing, so the B5 paper format was chosen instead.
-  When binding a book, the edges that face outward need to be very smooth to reduce contamination and dust from entering the book when it sits on a shelf; this is why traditionally a larger paper size is cut down to the book size.
-  If your print house expects the stock to be A4, then make sure the rubook has the ``a4paper'' option.
-  If they prefer to deal with preparation themselves from a B5 pdf, then the default ``b5paper'' option is correct.
-  The template is optimized for lualatex, but should still work with pdflatex.
+  In 2019, an attempt was made to unifiy the templates such that it was the same across the Bachelor's ``project report'', Master's ``thesis'', and Doctoral ``dissertation.''
+  In 2024, the Reykjavik University Library was given the authority and responsibility to determine the formatting of the template which we follow.
+  To best serve this new direction, the dissertation was moved to a separate file to be printed in B5 and the main template was revised to focus on A4 sized content.
+  The template is designed to work only with lualatex.
   
   The abstract goes here in English or Icelandic.
   It should be a fairly short summary of the entire document.
