> fixed. Numerical overflow issues in quadraticroots and cubicroots were
> fixed. The documentation was updated.

> The TeX bidirectional pipe was overhauled to support the context tex
> engine again. The luatex and lualatex tex engines were enabled. The
> inline option used by the asymptote.sty LaTeX package and the
> inlineimage option used for generating external PRC files were
> fixed. Portability issues were addressed.

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.
