The precision of the 3D perspective sizing routines were improved. The offset in transformed 3D labels with render=0 was fixed. 3D planar arrowhead gaps were fixed; a duplicate 3D arrow angle factor was removed. Pen width contributions to the box and ellipse envelopes were fixed. A more robust contour algorithm based on paraboloid approximation was implemented. A polargraph routine for arrays was implemented. Default font problems were fixed. The pdfborder={0 0 0} option was added to settings.hyperrefOptions; the hypersetup command is now used to avoid hyperref option clashes. The size of pngalpha images was fixed; the pngalpha driver is used only if antialias=2. The -alpha Off default convert option was removed in favour of convertOptions="-alpha Off". Inlinetex support for xelatex was updated. Picture transformations are now respected by latticeshade. The Bessel functions J and Y were renamed to Jn and Yn. An operator --(block, block) was implemented to simplify the flowchart syntax. The expression % expands to the last result returned at the interactive prompt. The GLU-1.3 library included in the MSWindows distribution was fixed.
