Unwanted spaces were removed from (version 1.10 of) asymptote.sty. Support for drawing PRC and OpenGL NURBS surfaces was added. Obsolete code, including an unwanted inline qualifier, was removed. A split structure that can be adapted for splitting intersecting patches was added, along with the example splitpatch.asy. -- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptote .

CTAn Update: asymptote
On Sat, 15 Aug 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 Summary description: 2D 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language License type: lgpl Announcement text: -- OpenGL animations, illustrated in glmovie.asy, were implemented. Viewportshift flicker was fixed. An empirical translation between OpenGL and PRC shininess was implemented. Splined parametric surfaces are now used to implement smooth thick lines and tubes. The projected bounding box calculation and angle calculations were fixed. A labelsurface function was added. The Headlamp light is now the default light; a light argument was added to shipout. Patches are now constructed with the usual orientation for a counterclockwise external path; the convention for tensor product shading was updated. Picture environments for TeX clipping are no longer nested. A texpath initialization bug was fixed. An ASYMPTOTE_HOME environment variable was added. Viewing was fixed for file names conntaining spaces. A picture sizing bug was fixed. An example of an inset graph was added. Type information for variables is now returned at the interactive prompt. Warning message suppression was improved; warnings in Asymptote code can now be disabled. The cyclic member of an array is now writeable; the obsolete cyclicflag and void cyclic(bool) functions were removed. File mode functions are now virtual members; this backwards incompatibility requires that line(file f) be changed to f.line(), etc. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote .

Version number: 1.82 Location on CTAN: /graphics/asymptote/ Summary description: 2D 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language License type: lgpl Announcement text: -- Threaded exports were fixed. The texpath fontsize was fixed for PDF tex engines. A default currentprojection argument was added to transform3(projection). The -gray and -bw settings are now respected in PRC output. A consistent approximation is now used for drawing tube centers. Missing pt units were added to all fontsize examples. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote/ .

The zoom/menu action was improved to emulate a double-click and assigned again to the right mouse button; a left-button binding bug was fixed. New settings zoomfactor, zoomstep, spinstep, arcballradius, resizestep, and doubleclick were added. The OpenGL thread is now exited gracefully; idle state and other parameters are properly reset on quitting. Lighting is now initialized only in home(). Animations with global=false were fixed. An improved (and free) psview PostScript viewer is now suggested for MSDOS users. A mechanism for disabling annoying warnings like writeoverloaded was implemented. The documentation directory under TeXLive was fixed. -- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptote .

Announcement text:
--
A bezulate bug was fixed. The resolution and caching of
texpath were
improved; for PDF tex engines, the basealign pen attribute
is now
respected. Support for OCG layers was added. Lights Headlamp
and White were
implemented; the predefined adobe light was removed. Holes
are now handled
in superpath-to-surface constructor when planar=true. A
degenerate
transform3 issue was fixed. The alignment of rendered and
PRC images was
improved; the angle for rendering absolute projections was
fixed. Inaccurate
TeX and ConTeXt font scalings were fixed. A texsize(string,
pen=currentpen)
function returns the raw TeX dimensions
{width,height,depth}. A new version
of asymptote.sty (1.07) fixes attach=true mode.

Path/surface intersection routines were added. PDF tex engines are now supported for 3D labels and texpath. The new ConTeXT tex engine can be used for both 2D and non-PRC 3D drawings. Projections LeftView, RightView, FrontView, BackView, BottomView, and TopView, along with an addViews function, were implemented. Portability fixes and various updates to support TeXLive builds were made. The dependence on currentprojection in label(Label, path3) was removed. The font command for LaTeX tex engines now requires all four NFSS (encoding, family, series, shape) arguments. -- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptote .
