I don't think the release is going anywhere without the linkage problems resolved. Jan for the release is doable, I think we may really need all that time tho. I for one have yet to get my main production code even working with the new plplot under Linux, not to mention the other systems I need to support. I'll put in work on it when I can, although there's features work I'd rather be doing.. :/ > (5) There is still one issue holding back Olof et al from moving to our > supported python interface for their pyqt GUI work.

Is this kind of stream duplication via API sufficient for their needs? Because otherwise one could clone a stream at the driver interface layer, directing it somewhere else (e.g. a file). I thought about putting in something like this years ago but didn't have a real need for it so it never materialized. -- Maurice LeBrun mj...@ga...
