The `novel` document class is intended for popular fiction books,
printed to paper: murder mystery, historical romance, etc.
-
Special attention to the needs of print-on-demand.
-Site github.com/rallg/novel is the canonical project page for the
-Novel document class, as seen in TeXlive and at CTAN. It is now
-in version 1.83, November 2023. Only change from 1.82 is a minor typo.
+Due to changes in print technology over the years, much of `novel` code
+is now unnecessary. Also, it offers many rarely-used features that bloat
+the code and its documentation. If you have not already used `novel`,
+the simpler `novelette` document class might be better for your
+purpose. Expected 2024.
-Also see the `novelette` document class, by the same developer.
-It is much simpler, yet does what it needs to do. Expected in
-late November, 2023. Site github.com/rallg/novelette but not yet
-at CTAN, since it is still Alpha stage.
