Announcement text:
An optional asydir parameter that allows asy files to be generated in a subdirectory was added to version 1.18 of asymptote.sty; XeLaTeX support was fixed. Nonrendered preview images via render=0 are now implemented. Blank 3D labels were fixed. Problems with arc directions and ellipses in the geometry module were fixed. The definition of the Dotted linetype was improved. Missing pen and margin parameters were added to the flowchart blockconnector function calls. Virtual methods were optimized. Makefile dependencies were fixed and autogenerated files are cleaned up. The dependence of the source tarball on perl was removed. Minor improvements were made to the documentation and man page. The Asymptote installation directory is now automatically added to the MSWindows path.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptote . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/asymptote (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

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.
