The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: algorithm2e Version number: 4.01 Author's name: Christophe Fiorio Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/algorithm2e Summary description: Floating algorithm environment with algorithmic keywords (re)definition feature License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a major release which add a lot of new features and a number of fixes. It is important to note that some commands have been renamed to have consistent naming (CamlCase syntax) and old commands are no more available. If you doesn't want to change your mind or use old latex files, you can use oldcommands option to enable old commands syntax back. Algorithm2e is an environment for writing algorithms. An algorithm is defined as a floating object like figures.It provides macros that allow you to create different sorts of key words, thus a set of predefined key word is given. You can also change the typography of the keywords.The environment allows you to have vertical lines delimiting block of instructions.It defines also different sort of algorithms such as Procedure or Function allowing name of this functions to be reused in common text or other algorithms. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/algorithm2e .

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: tikz-timing Version number: v0.7 Author's name: Martin Scharrer Location on CTAN: /(existing one) Summary description: Update to v0.7 License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes: * New libraries: clockarrows: Library for clock arrows. columntype: Library providing a timing column type for tabular. nicetabs: Library to format tikztimingtable like a booktab tabular. counters: Library to defined counter characters which display an incrementing counter: value every time there are used. advnodes: Library for advanced nodes with multiple anchor points. ifsym: Library providing the same timing symbols and characters as the ifsym package when loaded with the electronic option. * Additional experimental libraries: interval: Library to change color of 'ZL', 'ZH' etc. transitions to indicate borders of an interval. beamer: Library providing some marginal beamer overlay support. * 'overlays' library: + Overlays can now be cascaded, i.e. an overlay can be inside another one. + The second braces around the second part are now optional. + Fixed issues with 'T' and 'C' characters inside overlays. * Meta-characters can now have arguments. * Added more variety for in-line options: '[[ ]]', '[+ +]' and '[| |]'. * Handling of in-line options and nodes got modified. Options are now placed directly where placed and are valid until the next ';'. Please note that [/utils/exec={..}] now needs to be written as [|/utils/exec={..}|]. Otherwise it is re-executed every time the drawing path is renewed. * Added star version of ablegrid. * Added background to 'E' character ('either' library). * Some fixes for placing of 'D{}' texts. * Fixed wrong slopes (e.g. lslope instead of zslope) for some transitions. * Major changes on internal character definition macros, parser and output routine. * Fixed problems with expanding code content in user input. * The exttiming macro now uses a iming macro internally. * The iming macro is now only defined inside tikzpictures. This includes tikztimingtable. * Added TikZ style timing/draw grid for grids behind iming macros. * Replaced macros exttimingbefore, exttimingafter and exttiminggrid with TikZ settings 'timing/before text', 'timing/after text' and 'timing/draw grid'. * Added separators 'timing/outer sep' around exttiming. * Graphical improvements for 'double line' characters like 'D', 'U' and 'E'. The whole character including both edges is drawn in a single process. * Character width can now be scaled using wscale. * Character width can now be calculated by placing code inside '$ $'. * Fixed issue with horlines macro. * The 'tikztimingtable' environment and associated macros got enhanced: + The content is no longer read as macro argument and can now include paragraphs. + Multiple extracode sections can be now included between rows, not only a single section at the very end. + A 'extracode' environment has been added. Both macro and environment have now an optional argument for TikZ settings. + Added ableheader macro to label both columns. The ablerules macro got adjusted to detect the header line and draw also a middle line. + Added {background} environment to draw things in the background. + Fixed broken optional argument of ablegrid. + Added macro marknodes and associated debug/nodes style to mark in-line nodes for debug purposes/orientation during the diagram creation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-timing .
