Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
