----------------------------------------------------------------------
Release Notes for Version 2.73
The asygl library was updated to support embedding of WebGL and
WebGL2 scenes on the same page.
Release Notes for Version 2.72
WebGL2 is enabled by default only for examples that use image-based
lighting. Multiple output formats in threaded interactive mode are
now handled correctly. CPU partial sum indexing is used in the
3D transparency shader if the compute shader fails to compile.
Release Notes for Version 2.71
Support for the portable compressed 3D vector file format V3D was
added. The default value of settings.prc was changed to false.
Efficient order-independent transparency was implemented for
modern OpenGL platforms and the OSMesa offscreen rendering engine
(with no interactive transparency support for Mac OS X and WebGL).
The WebGL library now uses WebGL2 if available.
Image-based lighting was implemented.
Many bug fixes and improvements were made to Xasy, allowing objects
drawn with the graphical editor to be saved to and restored from
a .xasy file, as well as being exportable to an .asy file.
A function was added to graph a parametric function with control
points determined by the specified derivative.
The recommended PostScript viewer for MSWindows is now Sumatra PDF.
The workflow for generating transparent PDFs and PNGs was fixed.
Emacs lasy-mode was patched to work with Emacs >= 23.
Support for the Language Server Protocol was added.
Compilation with COMPACT=0 is supported again.
All threads now return the same error code.
A remote command-line interface to
http://asymptote.ualberta.ca is now available.

License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Write differential coefficients easily and consistently
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 4.0 of diffcoeff adds a package option enabling a small space to be inserted by
default before the differentiand, prevents the inappropriate forming of the ligature df
when f is the differentiand, adds a differential command for partial, and no longer
accepts a brace-delimited final optional argument (a relic from v.1).
