    OFFICIAL RELEASE OF GNUPLOT VERSION 4.2
    =======================================

We are delighted to announce the release of gnuplot version 4.2.
It has been almost 3 years since release of the previous version 4.0, but
we have put this time to good use. Version 4.2 contains a ton of new
features, support for several new output devices, and improved performance
when plotting large data sets. For a complete list of new features, see
the NEWS file that comes with the program.... read more

We are delighted to announce the availability of the third and hopefully
final release candidate for gnuplot version 4.2, in the form of a source
file tarball. Pre-compiled binaries for selected platforms will follow.
Unless serious new bugs are reported, the final 4.2 release should be
identical to -rc4 except for the versioning tags.

It's been a long while again, but not finally we're close. We're ramping up for a new release of gnuplot. The first release candidate tarball is in the file release system. You're invited to test it and report your findings.

See http://www.gnuplot.info/development/ for more details.

I've just uploaded a new file to the "Files" pages --- it's the updated gp373w32.zip binary package for Win32 platforms. The original 3.7.3 binary for win32 was badly broken, so if you have it, be sure to dump it and use this one instead.

The gnuplot project is pleased to announce the availability of gnuplot 3.7.3. gnuplot is a well-known scientific plotting package. Most, if not all, known bugs in gnuplot 3.7.2 have been fixed. This will most likely be the final release in the gnuplot 3.7 series, apart from another one or two possible bugfix releases. The developers are now concentrating their efforts on the next major release, gnuplot 4.0, which we hope to release during the first half of next year.... read more
