Unable to apply patch 'footnote' warning and footnote hyperlink failures due to setspace being loaded after hyperref

[zixingjiang]

Hi Prof. Boeing, thanks for sharing your wonderful template. I noticed a small problem with the .tex file that I would like to point out and offer a solution.

Description

When the setspace package is loaded after the hyperref package, it leads to the warning Unable to apply patch 'footnote' and breaks footnote hyperlinks because setspace overwrites hyperref's definition of \@footnotetext, as explained here. This issue can be resolved by loading setspace package before the hyperref package.

Steps to Preproduce

1. Load the setspace package after the hyperref package in the LaTeX document preamble.
2. Compile the document.
3. Observe warnings in the log and check footnote hyperlinks in the compiled PDF.

Excepted Behavior

The document should compile without warnings, and all footnote hyperlinks should work correctly.

Actual Behavior

The document compilation produces the warning Unable to apply patch 'footnote', and footnote hyperlinks always point to the beginning of the document.

Solution

Load the setspace package before the hyperref package in the LaTeX document preamble.
