CTAN Update: bytefield

[CTAN Announcements]

On Wed, 22 Jun 2011 Scott Pakin submitted an update to the

  bytefield

package.

Summary description: Create illustrations for network protocol specifications.
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The bytefield package helps the user create illustrations
for network protocol specifications and anything else that
utilizes fields of data.  These illustrations show how the
bits and bytes are laid out in a packet, register, or
memory.

Version 2.1 of bytefield includes code due to Renaud Pacalet
for continuing the bit numbering when a word is typeset
split across lines; it gives \\ an optional "length"
argument just like in a tabular; and it makes bit endianness
a full-fledged bytefield option that can be specified once
per document rather than requiring that it be specified in
each individual bytefield environment (although that too is
allowed).
