Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
License type: lgpl
Announcement text:
Thread locking issues were fixed. The linegranularity is now respected when drawing thick curved lines. A bug in FSAL ODE integrators when using a fixed time step was fixed. Missing miterlimit defaults were added. Xasy was updated to use Python 2.6.2 and Imaging-1.1.7b1 (which requires no alpha support patches). Obsolete patches were removed. More TeXLive build issues were addressed: the install-prebuilt target omits texhash and does not attempt to install PNG files for asymptote.info. A configuration problem with --disable-gc was fixed. The 3D mouse bindings are now customizable. Support was added for generating syntax highlighting for the KDE editor Kate.

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.
