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.
