CTAN Update: CircuiTikZ - ctan-ann

26 Nov 2009


      On Wed, 18 Nov 2009, Massimo Redaelli submitted an update to the
circuitikz
package.
The package provides a set of macros for naturally typesetting electrical and 
(somewhat less naturally, perhaps) electronic networks.
It is designed as a tool that is easy to use, with a lean syntax, native to 
LaTeX, and directly supporting PDF output format.

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Quite an update. Many bugs fixed, but probably just as many
new ones introduced: feedback welcome!
* Version 0.2.3
    - fixed compatibility problem with label option from tikz
    - Fixed resizing problem for shape ground
    - Variable capacitor
    - polarized capacitor
    - ConTeXt support (read the manual!)
    - nfet, nigfete, nigfetd, pfet, pigfete, pigfetd
          (contribution of Clemens Helfmeier and Theodor Borsche)
    - njfet, pjfet (contribution of Danilo Piazzalunga)
    - pigbt, nigbt
    - *backward incompatibility* potentiometer is now the
          standard resistor-with-arrow-in-the-middle; the old
          potentiometer is now known as variable resistor (or vR),
          similarly to variable inductor and variable capacitor
    - triac, thyristor, memristor
    - new property name for bipoles
    - fixed voltage problem for batteries in american voltage mode
    - european logic gates
    - *backward incompatibility* new american standard
          inductor. Old american inductor now called cute inductor
    - *backward incompatibility* transformer now linked with
      the chosen type of inductor, and version with core, too.
      Similarly for variable inductor
    - *backward incompatibility* styles for selecting shape
      variants now end are in the plural to avoid conflict with paths
    - new placing option for some tripoles (mostly transistors)
    - mirror path style
