Fixed. * Float pages on the last page of the document messed up both the page count and the “TURN OVER”/“END” sequencing. Fixed. (Also removed the `lastpage` page style as part of this fix.)

Version 2.1.3 (2009-04-28) -------------------------- * Changed the defaults for `\material`, `\copiesof` and `\otherinstructions` to “N/A”. * Fixed vertical spacing of title page. Version 2.1.2 (2008-08-14) -------------------------- * The “subject to inspection” messages that appear in the calculators and permitted material sections of the title page now only appear when calculators are allowed or there actually is additional permitted material, respectively.

Version 2.1 (2004-04-16) ------------------------ * Updated the calculators macro to conform to the new University calculator regulations. `\allowcalculators` now has an optional argument to specify the kinds of calculators permitted. * `\permitcalculators` has been added as a synonym for `\allowcalculators`. * Removed the `\marks` macro because it conflicts with a macro in e-TeX. Version 2.0.2 (2002-08-22) -------------------------- * If you omitted any of the required title page macros (`\examyear`, `\papernumber`, `\papertitle` or `\department`), `ouexam` crashed when trying to report the error.

This made it difficult to sensibly reference these items, so the relevant macros have been changed to omit this prefixed information.
