On Sun, 19 Jun 2011 John Bowman submitted an update to the
asymptote
package.
Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-aware vector graphics language
License type: lgpl
Announcement text:
A new offscreen (software) 3D rendering option supports rendering on machines that are remote or lack a working video graphics card. Shifted pens now work correctly. The handling of whitespace in word mode file reads was fixed. A transpose argument was added to the pen function image facility, for consistency with the other image functions. The limit calculation of parabola and hyperbola was fixed in the geometry module.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/asymptote (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

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.
