CTAN Update: nag
by CTAN Announcements 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

On Sun, 10 Feb 2008, Ulrich M. Schwarz submitted an update to the nag package. Old habits die hard. All the same, there are commands, classes and packages which are outdated and superseded. The nag package provides routines to warn the user about the use of such obsolete things. As an example, we provide an extension that detects many of the sins described in l2tabu. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/nag License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.61 fixes numerous robustness and compatibility issues, you are strongly advised to update. nag-experimental now warns about failed includes and informs about floats that are too large for their position. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nag . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=nag (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
