Abstract: New AGB and post-AGB full evolutionary tracks, computed with the latest version of the Garching evolution code and intended to be used in population synthesis models, are presented. The updated physics includes two key improvements, new molecular opacities and new TP-AGB mass-loss prescriptions, both given as a function of the varying surface C/O ratio. Convergence problems occurring at the end of the TP-AGB are briefly discussed.
