Latex Template: keeplastbox option removed from flushend #3

Closed JoschD closed 2 years ago

JoschD commented 2 years ago

In the new version of flushend (v4 from 2021, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/flushend) keeplastbox has been removed as setting (I think it's default now). As this is still in the jacow.cls (in line 200) this class cannot be used on systems with the newer version installed.

Simply removing the setting fixes the issue. \RequirePackage{flushend}

vrws commented 2 years ago

Please just remove the parameter "keeplastbox" in the call to jacow.cls, then there will only be a warning that the parameter is deprecated in the log.

Thank you very much for your quick answer. I'm afraid I cannot confirm this solution as 

\RequirePackage[keeplastbox]{flushend}

is hardcoded, so no matter if I give keeplastbox to the class or not I get

(/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/tex/latex/sttools/flushend.sty
Package: flushend 2021/10/04 v4.0 Balancing columns in twocolumn mode

/usr/local/texlive/2021/texmf-dist/tex/latex/sttools/flushend.sty:83: LaTeX Error: Unknown option `keeplastbox' for package `flushend'.

I would agree with your solution, if there was something like

\DeclareOption{keeplastbox}{\PassOptionsToPackage{keeplastbox}{flushend}}
\RequirePackage{flushend}

in the class (but there isn't)

Hi, I have tried this but the option is still required during compile time and the builds fail.

OK, I will try to check this soon as I'm currently not close to my computer. I already have a new release prepared but it's not yet published on CTAN. I will make this available for testing. Volker

Very nice! I would be happy to test. Thank you very much.

Cheers, Josch

Dear Josch,

sorry — you were right about the hardwired option for flushend — I planned it differently but obviously have never uploaded the modified version v2.4a which removed the parameter in \Requirepackage as it was present in the option list example in the published JACoW template.

I've placed 'newer' versions for test on JACoW.org (https://www.jacow.org/Authors/LaTeX) mainly v2.5 and for BibLaTeX users v2.7 are the interesting ones.

I hope that you will have a chance to test, then I will quickly publish it on GitHub and CTAN.

All the best, Volker

Hello Volker,

I've just tested v2.7 and it seems to work great! There are even some other fixes in there (e.g. the biblatex doi+url fix and the siunitx parameter) which I had implemented manually into my .tex files. I'm very happy to not use these workarounds anymore :) .

Do you know by any chance if with this new styles it will be now possible to hand in the bibliography in biblatex format or do we still have to convert everything to bibitems (has had been the case for IPAC last year) ?

Thanks a lot for your effort and the new class!

Cheers,

Joschua

I can also confirm that v2.7 works nicely for me! Hopefully it gets officially published soon :)

vrws commented 2 years ago

Hi Joshua, thanks for the test and thumbs up.

I've introduced the BibLaTeX fixes as an intermediate solution before we have an own 'JACoW' BibLaTeX style file. Patching the original macros is really cumbersome and error-prone.

Btw. I was accepting BibLaTeX file for IPACs and other JACoW conferences since quite some time. Maybe other editors didn't know that.

The new version is on CTAN, but has probably to be provided on GitHub and OverLeaf too, but I'm on vacation without my laptop...

Thanks and all the best, Volker

Hi Felix, thanks for the testing and confirmation that v2.7 works. Concerning publication see what I answered Joshua.

Thanks and best regards, Volker

Shouldn't this be reflected also in the template?

vrws commented 2 years ago

the new version v2.7 solves this issue.
