License type: other-free
Announcement text:
PRC polygons were optimized. Surface memory usage was reduced. The automatic sizing of NURBS surfaces was fixed. A bug in the radius of curvature computation at nodes was fixed. The configuration test for the GNU readline library was improved. The naming of PRC parts was implemented.

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.
