Location on CTAN: /graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-timing/
Summary description: Update to v0.7b - Support for CVS version of PGF
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a bugfix release which avoids errors occurring
with the current CVS version of PGF.
Changes:
* Expressions like '(number * {( number + number )})'
stopped working and where replaced by '(number*number +
number*number)'.
* The package 'atbegshi' is now loaded in the package
documentation
to avoid some issues between the oberdiek packages and PGF CVS.
* Inside timing pictures the value of ` ikz@expandcount` is
now set to the PGF 2.00 value of 1000. The CVS value of 100
is to low for bigger timing diagram which use a lot of macro
expansions.
