CTAN update: bytefield

[CTAN Announcements]

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the

                bytefield

package.

Version number: 2.5
License type: lppl1.3c

Summary description: Create illustrations for network protocol
specifications

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 2.5 adds a three handy new features.  First, the \bitbox,
\bitboxes, and \wordbox commands now accept the same optional
parameters as various other package commands.  Second, a new bgcolor
parameter specifies a box's background color.  Third, a new perword
parameter enables demarcating or decorating individual words within a
multi-word \wordbox.  Thanks to Victor Toni for the idea that led to
the perword parameter and for his help testing.
