FIRST UPLOAD 2012-10-17:
`filedate.sty' provides basic access to the date of a LaTeX
source file according to its \ProvidesFile, \ProvidesPackage,
or \ProvidesClass entry -- the "info date" --, as well as to
its modification date according to \pdffilemoddate if the
latter is available. 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. E.g., .fd files may be
loaded "indirectly" whose modification date is not
the \Provides... date, ignore them!
