Asymptote: 2.36 Released

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.

Bezier triangle patches have been implemented in place of degenerate
Bezier tensor product patches. Surface rendering was improved. The
configuration of the readline and gc libraries was fixed. The asy
configuration directory is only created if localhistory=false. Patches
are now sorted by projected distance. Animations were fixed by running
LaTeX twice. The asy-mode.el headers were updated. Intermittent
segmentation faults and floating point exceptions in the OpenGL renderer
were fixed. Support for GSL 2.0 was added. A quite nan constant was
added. Straight segments are no longer split in bezulate. Segmentation
faults in tab completion were fixed. A work around for a clang 3.7.0
compiler bug was implemented. The smoothcontour routine was sped up.
Several bugs in the file read routines were fixed. A bug in rest
argument signature equivalence was fixed. Threads are no longer used in
batch mode, except under MacOS X. A convenience function graphicscale
was added for using graphic with the conTeXt tex engine. The splinetype
detection for Spline surfaces was fixed.
