Release Notes for Version 2.57
Scenes with lighting disabled are rendered correctly in WebGL.
Attempting to output HTML for 2D pictures produces an SVG file.
A conditional was removed from the fragment shaders. A viewportshift
option
was added to the WebGL driver; the home (h) option now forces a remesh.
The version number was removed from the local offline copy of asygl.
A numerical degeneracy in the conic sections intersection routine
was fixed. A workaround for the broken XDR headers under MacOS X was
implemented. An issue with animations was fixed. The --version option
displays
a list of compiled-in features.
Release Notes for Version 2.58
Intersection points in geometry.asy are now returned in currentcoordsys;
a numerical precision issue was also fixed. Ambiguous function signatures
in geometry.asy are resolved by requiring explicit casts when converting
general forms to special cases. The xasy editor selection is now
consistent.
Building the asymptote.so shared library is supported again.
A bug in rendering indexed triangle arrays was fixed. Execution errors in
support utilities are now handled gracefully. Due to current limitations
of
dvisvgm (2.7.4), graphic() can only display SVG output (used by the xasy
vector editor) for external vector EPS graphics (embedded images, PDF,
PNG,
and JPG formats are not yet supported). Building under CYGWIN with X11 is
supported again. The --version option lists both enabled and disabled
features.
The GLX library is explicitly linked if present.
Comment from Karl Berry on tlbuild:
I committed the asymptote-2.58 sources to TeX Live. John says this
release should be stable and has many enhancements over what we released
with the original TL19. So if everyone is up for trying to compile it,
and it succeeds, it seems like it would be worth updating now instead of
waiting until next year.
