-<p>However, version 1.2 had an error, which caused a confusing error
-if you gave any fractional part in the arguments to the
-<code>{textblock}</code> environment. This was fixed in version 1.2a,
-which adds a <code>{textblock*}</code> environment (fully compatible

-<p>Version 1.2b works around a bug present in at least one package,
