Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Support for SVG output was added (requires dvisvgm-0.8.4).
Billboard labels were implemented for the OpenGL renderer.
OpenGL animations were improved: reverse and step menu items
were added, along with a framerate setting. An
addStereoViews function and example stereoscopic.asy were
added.  The addViews function was generalized to handle any
layout; the default layout was changed from ThreeViewsFR to
SixViewsUS. PRC node names are now implemented for curves,
surface, labels, and dots. OmitTick was generalized to omit
both major and minor ticks. A graphicx.tex workaround was
implemented to parse paths properly. A viewportsize bug was
fixed.  A memory deallocation bug was fixed. The ENDIAN test
was fixed. The ucyclic and vcyclic parameters are no longer
set for conditional surfaces. The erase() function clears
the PostScript canvas again. A projection() function that
returns the interactive camera parameters was implemented. 
A hyperrefOptions setting was implemented. The tutorial was
improved.
