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.

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.
