Moreover commands are provided to compare +the "info date" with the modification date, with "today"'s +date, or with another date that a script accessing modifica- +tion dates such as adhocfilelist.sh may insert, and to choose +the effect of comparisons (error vs. "notice", reference date +characterization). Thus updating the "info date" ("date con- +sistency") of a source file may be ensured by a test during +typesetting from it or by some (shell/TeX) script. + +In fact the test today admonished me to update the +documentation source and driver `filedate.tex'. Another +motivating example of "date inconsistency" was `nicefilelist' +v0.6 as of 2012-10-11 (see version history) with "info date" +2012/10/03. + +SECOND UPLOAD 2012-10-25: v0.3 has + + * bug fix with \DatesDiffNotices + * new \DatesDiffWarnings + +THIRD UPLOAD (r0.3a) 2012-11-06: + + * a checking script `fdatechk.tex' is input both by + documentation generator and file list generator + (`filedate.tex', `srcfiles.tex') + - recommendation for using the package + * still contains `filedate.sty' v0.3 + +FOURTH UPLOAD 2012-11-11: v0.4 has + + * \FileDateAutoChecks after which each \Provides... + checks info date against its \pdffilemoddate + * \FileDateAutoChecks* additionally checking dates + of main file (hopefully \jobname.tex) + * \NoFileDateAutoChecks restoring the original behaviour + of \Provides..., e.g., for files whose original time + stamp has not been preserved in copying/sending + +UPLOAD 2013-03-27, v0.41: + + * \FileDateLevelChecks etc., \FileDateUserChecks etc. + do not check as much automatically as + \FileDateAutoChecks does.
