    Romano Giannetti submitted an update to the

    CircuiTikZ

    package.

    Version number: 1.8.6 2026-05-24
    License type: lppl gpl

    Summary description: Draw electrical networks with TikZ

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------


    A shiny new style for the manual, with a new example code implementation by Jonathan P. Spratte, based on the package `enverb`. The manual now avoids writing *hundreds* of auxiliary files, and compiles significantly faster. As a bonus, now the manual can be compiled with `lwarp`, enabling the creation of a pure-HTML version.

    Additionally, a new option to simplify building custom blocks, thanks to a suggestion by Matthias Jung.

    - New manual style, with new example code based on `enverb`
    (mainly by Jonathan P. Spratte)
    - New option `border` for `component text` that applies to the
    `twoportsplit` component
    - New option `jfet gate height` to move the vertical position
    of JFET gate
    - New options for relative gate thickness in FETs and MOSFETs,
    and rounded caps for transistors
    - Fixed a nasty bug with `ooosourcetrans`.
