Asymptote http://asymptote.sourceforge.net 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.

The rendering of Bezier patches was improved. Minor improvements were made to perpendicular marks in the geometry package. A perl issue was addressed. Two unwanted temporary files are now removed after TeX processing. EPS output is now supported with all TeX engines. A workaround was implemented for the ImageMagick jpeg black background bug.
