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.
For more informations and examples see the package manual.

Summary description: Hyphenation patterns for Spanish
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some patterns fixed, particularly for familia, superar,
sub- and final consonants. Patterns are now generated
with the help of a few lua/luatex files, which are included.
Their status is still alpha, but I think they can show an
application of luatex.
