CTAN update: asymptote
Date: October 21, 2019 8:52:08 AM CEST
John Bowman submitted an update to the
asymptote
package.
Version number: 2.59
License type: lgpl3
Summary description: 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
Announcement text:
OpenGL memory allocation and transparency bugs introduced in version 2.54 were fixed. Rendering efficiency was improved. In view of limited GPU resources, only the required material uniforms are passed to each shader. The WebGL vertex and fragment shaders have been moved to the asygl library. Multiple embedded images now share a single WebGL context and shaders, to work around browser limitations. A bug in 3D arrows was fixed. Unavailable material attributes are now ignored. Miscellaneous Python support files were ported to Python3. The obsolete maxvertices setting was removed.

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Erik Braun

asymptote – 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by METAPOST but with an improved C++-like syntax. Asymptote provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text.
