David,

I see you have uploaded v0.11 to CTAN, as announced at:

   https://ctan.org/ctan-ann/id/mailman.9332.1717769599.3764.ctan-ann@ctan.org

, and download from https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tabulary.zip
contains tabulary v0.11.  It behaves exactly as Frank mentioned above.
Thank you, both!

However, after "tlmgr update --all", I get the following by running
   grep -A 1 "ProvidesPackage" `kpsewhich tabulary.sty

    \ProvidesPackage{tabulary}
              [2014/06/11 v0.10 tabulary package (DPC)]

"kpsewhich tabulary.sty" says:

    /usr/local/texlive/2024/texmf-dist/tex/latex/tabulary/tabulary.sty

"tlmgr info --data localrev,cat-version tabulary" says:

    71455,0.11

I guess r71455 has tabulary v0.10 rather than v0.11.

Karl, can you please have a look at it?

Best Regards,
Akira
