-Note that we no longer support Octave-2.1.73 which has a variety of run-time

+This is official notice that the PLplot team have decided for consistency
+sake to change the PLplot stream variables plsc->vpwxmi, plsc->vpwxma,
+plsc->vpwymi, and plsc->vpwyma and the results returned by plgvpw to reflect
+the exact window limit values input by users using plwind.  Previously to
+this change, the stream variables and the values returned by plgvpw
+reflected the internal slightly expanded range of window limits used by
+PLplot so that the user's specified limits would be on the graph.  Two users
+noted this slight difference, and we agree with them it should not be there.
+Note that internally, PLplot still uses the expanded ranges so most users
+results will be identical.  However, you may notice some small changes to
+your plot results if you use these stream variables directly (only possible
+in C/C++) or use plgvpw.
