Name of contribution: The cntdwn Package
Version number: v0.5

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.
