>
> Numerical resolution issues with the PRC camera orientation

> Release Notes for Version 2.18
>
> A compilation issue on MacOSX was addressed. Secondary axes
> pictures now inherit the size of the primary picture, so
> that the markthin marker works properly. The special 8192
> strlen NSIS build was reinstated to prevent the installer
> from overwriting extremely long Windows PATH environment
> variables.

> Release Notes for Version 2.17
>
> A bug with non-square pen function images was fixed.
> Autoscaled logarithmic axes were fixed. Offscreen and non-
> offscreen rendering are now supported in a single binary
> (requiring OSMesa version 8), with settings.offscreen
> defaulting to false. The media9 LaTeX style file is now used
> to embed 3D PRC content instead of movie15. Local 3D
> coordinates are now used. PRC Part names are nolonger
> generated by default. A bug in bezulate was fixed. A
> settings.axes3 flag was added to control the visibility of
> PRC axes. An efficient 3D routine for drawing many
> triangles, with specified vertices and optional normals or
> vertex colors, was implemented.
thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the
catalogue repository.

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.
