[Plplot-general] 5.8.0-RC1 Release

[Hazen B. <hba...@ma...>]

Hello,

5.8.0-RC1, our test release for the 5.8.0 stable release is now  
available for download. Assuming that all is well with this release  
then the official 5.8.0 stable release should be available in about  
two weeks. Changes from the 5.7.4 release include updating the Octave  
bindings to be compatible with Octave 2.9, adjusting the Fortran95  
bindings to work with a wider array of Fortran95 compilers and fixing  
a number of bugs in the "3D" text routines plmtex3 and plptex3 (see  
example 28).

As always, (1) Please refer to our wiki for the latest build and  
install instructions (http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php? 
title=Main_Page) and (2) Let us know of any problems / bugs that you  
run across while installing / using PLplot.

best,
-Hazen
