the daemon tells me:
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: nameauth Author's name: Charles P. Schaum Package version: 1.24 Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/nameauth/ Summary description: Name authority macros improve consistency and flexibility in body text and index. License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
This version reverts the functionality to 1.2 due to a unintended side effect. I suggest a manual workaround in the docs. I will cease adding functionality until I study more about ways to improve and restructure the package.
thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository.
Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/nameauth.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/nameauth/
The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) on the web, by tomorrow morning.
