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 \tablegrid. * 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 \texttiming macro now uses a \timing macro internally. * The \timing macro is now only defined inside tikzpictures. This includes tikztimingtable. * Added TikZ style timing/draw grid for grids behind \timing macros. * Replaced macros \texttimingbefore, \texttimingafter and \texttiminggrid with TikZ settings 'timing/before text', 'timing/after text' and 'timing/draw grid'. * Added separators 'timing/outer sep' around \texttiming. * 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 \tableheader macro to label both columns. The \tablerules 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 \tablegrid. + Added macro \marknodes and associated debug/nodes style to mark in-line nodes for debug purposes/orientation during the diagram creation.

tikz-timing – Easy generation of timing diagrams as TikZ pictures
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.
