I second this (besides starring, I reckon leaving such a message as well gives a stronger emphasis).
I'm very grateful that he maintained the package for such a long time. As useful as the package is - with the zillion of classes, which all do their own thing, it must have been a nightmare to maintain.

Oh, look, there's clippy in latex: https://mastodon.mim-libre.fr/@pierquetcedric/114692447671112032 The last selling point for office has fallen :)
It was certainly a spam/phishing because I never use van Duck's email, but it was a receipt, not a payment request. I don't know if the attachment asked for some payment as I did not open it, of course. The sender was unknow to me.
Unfortunately some email programs do their best to hide the headers from the user (looking at you, MS Outlook)
Sadly, I've also received email with requests for payment. Spam indeed. It's usually safe to ignore email from sources you've never heard of, but take a close look at the headers if you can, to see where a message really came from, and that can help you decide.

aahh, reminds me I didn't keep up with `xbeamer` for more than a month!
Yeah, no more switching to dev for compiling xbeamer! Very convenient!

Should be pretty simple to set up a filter in your mail program, but none that I'm aware of.
I actually auto-upgrade entire TeX Live per login and save the log of the upgrade script in a file. This way I stay up-to-date with the recent changes.
Nice. Is there any option to only subscribe for new packages and not updates?
True, I am trying to avoid these giants. Microsoft, Google, X,, Meta, Amazon. Not easy to quit completely, but baby steps. ~~Mastodon~~ Frediverse is a ray of hope. Let's see where it goes.
You're welcome! Indeed X is not a good place to attend, except for few users :D
Thank you!! I am not on x, but I follow them on Mastodon and they have mentioned me there.
