On Mon, 12 Apr 2010 John Bowman submitted an update to the
asymptote
package.
Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
License type: lgpl
Announcement text:
Labels work correctly with oblique projections. Transformed Label alignment and pt scalings were fixed. Latticeshading is now properly clipped. The normal and true Circle calculations were fixed. The interface to the simpson integrator and an array index in contour.asy were fixed. In the flowchart module, the implicit cast from a pair to a virtual node was removed in favour of a block constructor. The ode integrationg routines now return a structure that includes the sampled time values; dynamic timestepping was implemented for solveBVP. New predefined tick modifiers were added. The CLZ and CTZ bit functions were implemented. PRC part names were fixed. The GL library is now explicitly linked. Memory usage was improved by configuring the garbage collector with --enable-large-config. Null 3D paths are ignored. Non-pdf output is supported for PDF tex engines. Portability changes for CYGWIN 1.7 were made.
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 .

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.
