Summary description: 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
Announcement text:
Intersection points in geometry.asy are now returned in currentcoordsys; a numerical precision issue was also fixed. Ambiguous function signatures in geometry.asy are resolved by requiring explicit casts when converting general forms to special cases. The xasy editor selection is now consistent. Building the asymptote.so shared library is supported again. A bug in rendering indexed triangle arrays was fixed. Execution errors in support utilities are now handled gracefully. Due to current limitations of dvisvgm (2.7.4), graphic() can only display SVG output (used by the xasy vector editor) for external vector EPS graphics (embedded images, PDF, PNG, and JPG formats are not yet supported). Building under CYGWIN with X11 is supported again. The --version option lists both enabled and disabled features. The GLX library is explicitly linked if present.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/asymptote
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.
