CTAN update: asymptote
John Bowman submitted an update to the asymptote package. Version number: 2.47 License type: lgpl3 Summary description: 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language Announcement text: -- Release Notes for Version 2.47 Further shipout and scaling problems were fixed. Unused files were removed. Multiple-page documents now produce PS instead of EPS output. Release Notes for Version 2.46 The pen width is now accounted for in the bbox function. The relative alignment of a label to a path now transforms correctly with picture rotation. Various shipout issues were fixed. The ghostscript library location from the MSWindows registry is now ignored for compatibility with TeXLive. Release Notes for Version 2.45 The xasy graphical front end for Asymptote has been rewritten to support code reordering, using Qt5 and scalable vector graphics. An uninitialized counter was fixed. A stable=true option was added to sort. The restricted simplex method has been replaced by a complete simplex solver that handles general size constraints. The rpc library has been replaced by the tirpc library. The dvips utility is forced to respect EPS requirements again. The system ghostscript library is now used by default for dvisvgm. Make clean now removes GSL symbols. The MSWindows system path is no longer modified by the installer. A CLZ bug was fixed. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/asymptote Thanks for the upload.

New on CTAN: tikz-network
Jürgen Hackl submitted the tikz-network package. Version number: 1.0 License type: gpl3+ Summary description: Draw networks with TikZ Announcement text: -- In recent years, complex network theory becomes more and more popular within the scientific community. Besides a solid mathematical base on which these theories are built on, a visual representation of the networks allow communicating complex relationships to a broad audience. Nowadays, a variety of great visualization tools are available, which helps to structure, filter, manipulate and of course to visualize the networks. However, they come with some limitations, including the need for specific software tools, difficulties to embed the outputs properly in a LaTeX file (e.g. font type, font size, additional equations and math symbols needed,...) and challenges in the post-processing of the graphs, without rerunning the software tools again. In order to overcome this issues, the package **tikz-network*** was created. Since LaTeX is a standard for scientific publications and widely used, there is a high chance that users are already familiar with the syntax and the structure of this language. Beside LaTeX, no other software tool is needed. The commands of **tikz-network** are kept simple but allow a high control over the produced output. Post-processing of the network (e.g. adding drawings, images, texts, equations,...) can be done easily, due to the compatibility with PGF/TikZ (Tantau 2015). Also, the embedding of the network visualization into the LaTeX-environment enables the use of the fonts, font sizes, mathematical symbols, hyperlinks, references,..., as used in the document. Additional features are the three-dimensional visualization of (multilayer) networks, and the compatible with other layout and visualization tools (e.g. igraph, netwrokx, QGIS, ...). -- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/tikz-network The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-network Thanks for the upload.
