Summary description: 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
Announcement text:
Memory usage for complex 3D scenes was greatly reduced. The default render setting was changed to 2 for all output formats. Meshpens for triangular patches are now handled. A Vulkan offscreen resolution mismatch with OpenGL was fixed. An OpenGL export bug was fixed. VMA C++ wrappers were fixed to use nullptr instead of VK_NULL_HANDLE. SSBO reads in the vertex stage now support vertexPipelineStoresAndAtomics. The v3d.asy EOF check was fixed. Readline history deallocation was fixed. The PERL interpreter was removed from the build system. The FAQ documentation was migrated from bfnn to texinfo. A devcontainer was set up for sandboxed development, including support for lavapipe software rendering. Build issues were addressed.

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Erik Braun 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.
