Name of contribution: The cntdwn Package Version number: v0.5 Author's name: D. P. Story Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/cntdwn Summary description: Provides support for short and long countdowns, and for clocks in any time zone License type: lppl
Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an update to the package published earlier.
The original version, v.3, had a simple way of calculating the number of years (based on 365 days to the year) for a long countdown. This was not a problem for counts less than one year, or for counts that spanned several years that did not include leap years. This version, v.5, takes into account the presence of leap years and now gives a correct year, day, hour, minute, and second representation of the time difference between the current time and the target event. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
