Description

I think there is a documentation bug in the "information" section of ffuserguide where it provides the code snippet \usepackage{flowfram}[=1.18] for compatibility issues. The following MWE crashes on an updated TL2025

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{flowfram}[=1.18]
\begin{document}
Hello World
\end{document}

The error is

! LaTeX Error: Requested version '1.18' for package 'flowfram' is unknown.

Changing the documentation to add a "v" in front of the version number (\usepackage{flowfram}[=v1.18]) seems like it solves the issue, but you seem to want the version to not have the "v" (https://dickimaw-books.com/findversion.html).

MWE

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{flowfram}[=1.18]
\begin{document}
Hello World
\end{document}

Evaluation

I'm sorry that's an error in the documentation. For rollback the "v" is needed.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{flowfram}[=v1.18]
\begin{document}
Hello World
\end{document}
