Author's name: John Bowman

License type: lgpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A global latexusage.asy file is no longer generated, in
favour of individual latexusage-*.asy files (this is a
backwards incompatible change). Global and local values can
now be given for both the inline and attach asymptote.sty
(version 1.15) options. Underscores were removed from the
.pre and .tex file names in inlinetex mode. Latexmk support
was added for compiling individually only those figures that
have changed; this requires that the inline option be used
for 3D figures. The asy() function was fixed. A multiple
fraction bar bug in texpath was fixed. Warning messages and
portability issues were addressed. A frame label alignment
problem was fixed. PDF animations are now supported with the
XeLaTeX TeX engine.

>
> The files of the expl3 bundle provide a low-level API for TeX

>
> The TeX and eTeX primitives are all given a new name according
> to these conventions. However, in the main direct use of the
> primitives is not required or encouraged: the expl3 modules
> define an independent low-level LaTeX3 programming language.

> At present, the expl3 modules are designed to be loaded on top

> This release also increases the coverage of the category code

thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version and updated the
catalogue repository.

and the web catalogue entry will change in two characters, overnight
(apart from the date of creation, of course...).
