CTAN Update: Asymptote

On Fri, 19 Jun 2009, John Bowman submitted an update to the asymptote package. 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. Location on CTAN: /graphics/asymptote License type: lgpl Announcement text:

Splined parametric surfaces were implemented; a bug in the Cartesian splined surface routines was fixed. An ode module for solving ordinary differential equations was added. A bug in maxtimes and mintimes was fixed. A Levenberg-Marquardt nonlinear fitting routine was added. The format command now returns TeX compatible output only in math mode. A path3 label alignment problem was fixed. The MSWindows support for TeXLive 2009 was fixed.
