Summary description: Compatibility package to emulate the former KOMA-Script package scrhack
Announcement text:
This package is a spin-off of KOMA-Script. As of version 3.42, KOMA-Script will no longer contain the scrhack package. Strictly speaking, scrhack was always an experimental package, which has since been replaced by the packages floatbytocbasic, floatrowbytocbasic, listingsbytocbasic, lscapeenhanced, setspaceenhanced and standardsectioning. For compatibility reasons, it was decided to provide a new version of scrhack until further notice. This new version uses the aforementioned packages to emulate the functionality of the version contained in KOMA-Script up to version 3.41. In addition, a legacy version is included for old LaTeX versions, which largely corresponds to the version previously integrated in KOMA-Script.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/scrhack The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/scrhack/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

scrhack – Compatibility package to emulate the former KOMA-Script package scrhack
Up to version 3.41, the scrhack package was part of KOMA-Script. It was originally intended to improve the compatibility of third-party packages with KOMA-Script. However, most of the so-called hacks also added additional functionality to the corresponding third-party package. On the other hand, it was sometimes urgent to react to a change in such a third-party package, which was difficult to do from within a large collection like KOMA-Script. Therefore, the scrhack part of KOMA-Script was split into several independent packages. And the scrhack spin-off was made to emulate the former KOMA-Script package of the same name.
