CTAN update: asymptote
Date: July 5, 2025 7:00:10 AM CEST
John Bowman submitted an update to the
asymptote
package.
Version: 3.05
License: lgpl3
Summary description: 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
Announcement text:
A bug in handling Xasy-generated transforms was fixed. The asymptote.ualberta.ca server was updated to use the https protocal. Double precision integer XDR reads and writes were fixed under UNIX; XDR and binary string reads and writes were implemented. These overloaded virtual file fields were exposed again: singlereal, singleint, signedint, line, word, csv, and dimension. To support MacOS X, the explicit 'gif:' format was removed from the animate call; warning messages were addressed. Reading V3D files with the native Windows build was fixed.

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Manfred Lotz CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups. Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs .

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.
