Why each change was made, in the order of the diff:

- Dissertate.cls: the first line is added. The GNU Affero General Public
  License asks a changed work to say that it was changed and when, and the
  line points to the list of the changes, which is this file.
- Dissertate.cls: the caption package is loaded with justification=RaggedRight
  instead of justification={justified,RaggedRight}. Since 2020 the caption
  package takes one name there and stops the compile with "Undefined
  justification" on the pair. Older versions read the pair as a list whose
  last name won, so the captions are set ragged right as they always were.
- Dissertate.cls: the Berkeley style file, assets/schools/Berkeley/style.sty
  in the repository, is added at the end, unchanged. This is how the
  repository's own build script (scripts/build) makes the Berkeley template
  from the class that all schools share.
- endmatter/colophon.tex: the second line is added, for the same reason as the
  first line of Dissertate.cls.
- endmatter/colophon.tex: the figure is commented out. It shows the
  illustration Science Experiment 02 by Ben Schlitter, which the colophon
  gives as CC BY-NC-ND 3.0, a license for noncommercial use only, so
  colophon.png is not shipped here. To show a picture of your own, add it to
  the endmatter folder, name it in the \includegraphics line, remove the
  percent signs of the six lines and put one before \vspace*{200pt}.
- endmatter/colophon.tex: the \vspace*{200pt} line is enabled, the file's own
  alternative for a colophon without an image.
- endmatter/colophon.tex: the sentence that credits the illustration is
  removed, since the illustration is not shown.
