On Mon, 28 Dec 2009 Martin Scharrer submitted an update of the
tikz-timing
package.
This package 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/
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This update fixes a couple of smaller bugs in v0.7 and adds
some functionality.
The changes in detail are:
General:
* Fixed scaling behaviour of timing node shape.
* Fixed scaling of reference coordinates.
* Added `timing/unit`, `timing/xunit` and `timing/yunit` options.
Parser:
* Added local scopes `{ }` incl. push and pop of saved options.
Documentation:
* Changed manual to screen optimised format.
* Updated examples.
* Updated documentation.
* Added figure to illustrate nodes inside a tikztimingtable.
* Added subsection about how to scale the complete table.
tikztimingtable:
* Added alias for last row: '`last row`'. Renamed old internal node with the same name.
* Changed ` ableheader` definition to allow two extra optional arguments for the two mandatory ones.
* Updated table header macro in `nicetabs` library.
* Added rectangle node '`all rows`' around all rows of a tikztimingtable.
* Added label node names incl. 'all labels' node.
`advnodes` library:
* Fixed wrong border coordinates. Enabled old node centers for existing example code.
* Fixed `EE` and `DH` anchor points.
`counters` library:
* Updated `counters` library to use macro instead of TeX counters to avoid
problems with multiple definitions of the same counter character.
* Added several new options for `counters` library.
* Internal code improvements for `counters` libraries.
* Added counter styles.
`interval` library:
* Fixed interval boundaries.

Version number: 1
Author's name: David Chiang
Location on CTAN: /graphics/pgf/contrib/
Summary description: Simple syntax and smarter layout for trees in TikZ
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides a macro for drawing trees with TikZ using the
easy syntax of Alexis Dimitriadis' Qtree. It improves on TikZ's
standard tree-drawing facility by laying out tree nodes without
collisions; it improves on Qtree by adding lots of features from TikZ
(for example, edge labels, arrows between nodes); and it improves on
pst-qtree in being usable with pdfTeX and XeTeX.

Summary description: Commutative diagrams in a (La)TeX or ConTeXt document.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
DCpic is a package of TeX macros for graph modeling (e.g.
commutative
diagrams) in a (La)TeX or ConTeXt document. Its
distinguishing features are: the use of PiCTeX a powerful
graphical engine, and a simple specification syntax. A graph
is described in terms of its objects and its edges. The
objects are textual elements and the edges can have various
straight or curved forms.
The author is Pedro Quaresma.
