John Bowman and Andy Hammerlindl submitted an update to the
asymptote
package.
Version number: 2.25
License type: lgpl
Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-aware Vector Graphics Language
Announcement text:
A superfluous play button in rendered 3D images embedded by recent versions of media9 is now suppressed. The contour.asy module was reverted to a previous stable linearized version. A numerical precision issue in makepen was fixed. A routine for drawing braces was added. Deep recursion is now avoided in guide flattening. A workaround for an Adobe Reader transparency artifact was implemented for the pdflatex and xelatex tex engines. Raw PRC output can now be generated with the "-f prc" command-line option. Vector patches are now sorted to work around opacity artifacts in many rendering engines. The xasy code editor now accepts command-line options. Under MSWindows, the ghostscript library is searched for in both the 32 bit and 64 bit registries. The FAQ and documentation were updated.

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.
