On Sun, 31 Oct 2010 John Bowman submitted an update to the
asymptote
package.
Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
License type: lgpl
Announcement text:
The -P option required by ghostscript 9.00 was added. The limits command now works correctly with reversed axes. The asyinclude command of asymptote.sty was improved so that asy source files do not need to be sent to publishers; the asy extension is now optional. A mktemp function was implemented. Further MSWindows installer problems were addressed.
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=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 . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html .
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

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.
