Announcement text:
Issues with 3D labels and texpath, both in inlinetex mode and with the ConTeXt TeX engine, were resolved. A bug in bezulate was fixed. A partial workaround was added for the unimplememented -output-directory ConTeXt option (the current directory must still be writeable). The aspect ratio and viewportmargin calculation in module three was improved, with tighter 3D bounds. A bug in the intersections(path3, surface) routine was fixed.

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.
