Summary description: 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
Announcement text:
A bug in rendering 2D preview images of a 3D scene was fixed. The 100-error TeX limit is gracefully detected, rather than hanging. A more accurate Bezier approximation to the sphere was implemented. An initial perpendicular direction can now be specified for the rotation minimizing frame for a path3; the previous direction is no longer cached between calls.

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.
