Row and column colors in tabular environment with `\usepackage[table]{xcolor}` error with jss.cls?

I would like to include a table with row and column colors in a submission to the Journal of Statistical Software. The following is a reprex that uses the jss.cls class file:

\documentclass[article]{jss}

\usepackage[table]{xcolor}
\newcolumntype{s}{>{\columncolor{gray!30}} r}

\author{Author \\ University }
\title{A paper}

\Abstract{Abstract words}
\Keywords{keywords}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{|rs|rs|}
      \hline
      \small 0              & 0 & \small 4 & 0 \\
      \rowcolor{green!30} 0 &   & 1        &   \\\hline
      \small 1              & 1 & \small 5 & 1 \\
      \rowcolor{green!30} 0 &   & 1        &   \\\hline
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

The needed style file is in https://www.jstatsoft.org/public/journals/1/jss-style.zip.

The code produces the table correctly in OverLeaf but generates several errors. With pdflatex from the command line (macOS TexLive distribution), it errors with:

Package hyperref Warning: Option `hyperindex' has already been used,
(hyperref)                setting the option has no effect on input line 446.

?

The code also works fine if plain article is used instead of jss.cls.

Is it because jss.cls is older than current hyperref or color or xcolor packages? I am not finding relevant help on stackoverflow or elsewhere.

Solution

  • You can work around the problem by switching back to an old version of the kernel:

    \RequirePackage[2020/01/01]{latexrelease}
\RequirePackage[table]{xcolor}
\documentclass[article]{jss}

\newcolumntype{s}{>{\columncolor{gray!30}} r}

\author{Author \\ University }

      \hline
      \small 0              & 0 & \small 4 & 0 \\
      \rowcolor{green!30} 0 &   & 1        &   \\\hline
      \small 1              & 1 & \small 5 & 1 \\
      \rowcolor{green!30} 0 &   & 1        &   \\\hline
