texversion

[Hans van der Meer]

When running the command "texversion" it used to give nice and clean  
compact output.

          TeXVersion 0.1 / Taco Hoekwater 2004

                texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
                texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004
                    tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)
              cont-en : ver: 2006.01.12 10:38  fmt: 2006.1.14  mes:  
english
                cont-nl : ver: 2006.01.12 10:38  fmt: 2006.1.14  mes:  
dutch

Now it spits out a lot of material, ending with:

> %   {\writestatus{loading}{adding extensions from cont-def}}

Has something changed?
I preferred the previous behaviour, i.e. quit reporting when called  
without options.

yours sincerely,

The functionality of texversion has been added to regular texexec,
and development has stopped. Please forget about the standalone
texversion command and use
   texexec --version
instead.

In cases like these I generally do something like this: change the  
obsolete command to display a warning (or in this release a warning  
and the exec texexec --version, then a year later only the warning,  
then later the command disappears altogether.)

indeed, the recently implemented format version check

taco's code was integrated in texexec (not so long after he posted it); 
so you can consider texversion obsolete
