Name of contribution: tikz-timing
Author's name: Martin Scharrer
Location on CTAN: /graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-timing/
Summary description: Update to version 0.5
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes:
* Fixed bug which caused load errors if the `calc` package
was loaded before the `tikz-timing` package.
* Added posibility to give diagram wide settings as first
optional argument in ikztiming and tikztimingtable.
* Timing diagram is now a PGF shape (node) with many
anchors including start and end points. This help to draw
material relative to timing diagrams. Rows inside a
`tikztimingtable' are automatically named.
* Package now depents on 'amsmath' or 'environ' package.
Previous versions always needed the 'environ' package.
* Syntax change: The iming macro now awaits an 'at'
before the coordinate like nodes do. The old syntax still
works but causes a warning. Future versions might
enforce the 'at' or react different if it is not used.
* Added user defined meta-characters which can store user
defined character groups.
* Added special 'B' character to introduce negative width.
Main application is for meta-characters and other groups.
* Changed `M` character to use path decorations.
* Some code improvements to speed up compilation and make
the source code cleaner.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.2i
- BUGFIX: When using option 'usetranslator=true', the
translator string was not aware of the option
'editorstring'. This is now fixed.
- Improved bibmacro 'journal+issuetitle' which is now aware
of the option 'edbeforetitle'.
- The 'typeeditor' field is now supported. It can take the
values 'editor' and 'compiler'. This field determines the
editor string after the name of the editor(s). The
abbreviated forms are 'ed.' for 'editor' and 'comp.' for
'compiler'. In German, both strings are the same
('Herausgeber' or 'Hrsg.').
- In English, the 'idem' string is now declined (idem,
eadem, idem in singular; eidem, eaedem, eadem in plural)
and no longer abbreviated, even if abbreviate=true is
used.
- Improved the handling of 'origfields=true'.
- In German, the string 'reprint' (Nachdruck) is now
abbreviated as 'Ndr.', not as 'Nachdr.'
- Compound abbreviations are now separated by a thin space
rather than a normal one. At the moment, this affects
only the German localization in strings like 'hg. v.'

Name of contribution: draftmark
Author's name: Ahmed Musa
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/draftmark
Summary description: Put draftmarks on select pages intelligently
License type: nocommercial
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package puts a user-specified draftmark on pages of documents. It
is more general than the package 'draftwatermark' by Sergio Callegari.
The advantages of this package over 'draftwatermark' include: the user
can specify his own draftmark and color, the draftmark position, the
page (all pages, odd pages, even pages, a particular page number, and
a range of pages) on which the draftmark should appear, and all the
options are passed directly to package instead of being defined by
macros. There is also the provision to use the macro draftmarksetup,
which can be used to specify draftmark properties for each page or
range of pages. With the 'xcolor' package (loaded by this package),
all colors (including 'white', shades like 'red!75!green!50', and
those defined within the user document) can be passed to this package.
The code of this package is very much shorter than that of the
'draftcopy' package by Jurgen Vollmer (2002) because it capitalizes
on some dvi 'hook' packages that have become available in recent
years (post 2002).

On Mon, 4 May 2009, Robert Marik submitted an update to the
fancytooltips
package.
The package was inspired by the cooltooltips package. In contrast to
cooltooltips, fancytooltips allows inclusion of tooltips which contain arbitrary

The links and JavaScripts are inserted using eforms package from the AcroTeX

On Sat, 2 May 2009 Martin Scharrer submitted an update to the
tikz-timing
package.
Tikz-timing provides macros and an environment to generate timing diagrams
(digital waveforms) without much effort. The TikZ package is used to produce
the graphics. The diagrams may be inserted into text (paragraphs, hbox, etc.)
and into tikzpictures. A tabular-like environment is provided to produce larger
timing diagrams.
Location on CTAN: /graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-timing/
Summary description: Update to version 0.4
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This update brings the following improvements and new features:
Timing Characters:
* Multiple identical characters are now combined: DDDd -> 3.5D
This improves the graphical quality for zoomed screen display
and reduces the output file size. State dependent characters
like 'T' and 'C' (toggle, clock) are not combined.
* Lowercase characters are no longer handled by own macros but
by the macros for the uppercase characters which are called with
the half width. This reduces the number of needed macros significant.
* Added special character `N' to add nodes at the current
position of the timing diagram.
* The factors for group repeats (`4{HL}' -> `HL HL HL HL') are
now rounded arithmetically, not truncated, to integers if necessary.
* Fixed miss-position of text in initial 'D'.
Examples:
* Added more examples, including two complete timing diagram
(redrawn from free images on Wikipeadia).
* Code for examples is now attached (as full LaTeX document) to
the PDF file.
Table environment `tikztimingtable':
* Added macros to draw grids and marker lines inside
`tikztimingtable'.
* Added tabular-like error handling for wrong number of columns
(`&'), i.e.: Ignores missing columns and raises error when too
many columns are given.
* Added table macros `
owdist' and `coldist' and corresponding
tikz styles `timing/rowdist' and `timing/coldist' to allow the
user to adjust distances between rows and columns in table
(styles), as well as drawing lines relative to this values
(macros).
Other:
* Some fixes to the used ` ikzset' settings.
* Added `timing/lslope` setting to only set the normal slope.
* General code clean-up.
