Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package supersedes the subfigure package (which will continue to be
supported, but no longer maintained). The name has changed because the
subfig package is not completely backward compatible with the older
subfigure package due to an extensive rewrite to use the new caption
package to produce its subcaptions. The major advantage to the new
package is that the user interface is keyword/value driven and easier to
use. To ease the transition from the subfigure package it includes a
configuration file (subfig.cfg) which nearly emulates the subfigure package.

subfig – Figures broken into subfigures
The package provides support for the manipulation and reference of
small or ‘sub’ figures and tables within a single
figure or table environment. It is convenient to use this package
when your subfigures are to be separately captioned, referenced,
or are to be included in the List-of-Figures. A new
\subfigure command is introduced which can be used inside a
figure environment for each subfigure. An optional first
argument is used as the caption for that subfigure.

The functionality of the package is provided by the (more recent
still) subcaption package.
