I just rewrote version.sty as I see fit and uploaded it to UK.
thanks; i've installed the new version of version (aargh), and updated the catalogue entry.
You guys can decide whether to have the existing versions.sty or this rewrite to take over the slot for version.sty.
i don't make public quality judgements in my ctan work ;-) (i leave that for the faq...)
License: permissive free (very short MIT/X11/BSD style)
interpreted (as is standard, now) as other-free.
Here are the (end)notes on the new version.
% Donald Arseneau produced this version because Stephen Bellantoni had no % permissions explicitly stated in his version. DA has tried to remain % compatible but has indulged in upgrades (bloat) which might not be % proper. % % Although the code is entirely rewritten, there are a few principal % differences with version 2: % % Verbatim catcoding of braces (to scan over unbalanced braces) is % still applied, but is not required to be effective: the end{NAME} % will be detected whether the catcode changes are effective or not. % % Verbatim catcode for & is set to allow skipping rows of a tabular. % % Definitions of existing environments are now retained by includeversion, % unless the existing definition is the one made by excludeversion. % % Added optional argument for excludeversion for a textual tag to % replace the excluded content.
users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/version.html or the package itself at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/version.sty
the catalogue entry will be slightly changed, in a moment, at some stage overnight
