[Gnuplot-py-users] Gnuplot.py version 1.7 has been released

[<kai...@t-...>]

Hi Everybody,

At long last, I have just released version 1.7 of Gnuplot.py.  You can 
get it at SourceForge,

    http://gnuplot-py.sourceforge.net/

This version doesn't contain any significant changes to what's been in 
CVS for quite a while; it's just that I finally made some time to 
package it up and release it :-|

I apologize for the things that didn't make it into the release.  If I 
had waited until everything was done, this release would have never 
gotten done.

Thanks everybody for your suggestions, feedback, and patches.

Highlights in this version:

  + Relaxed license from GPL to LGPL.

  + Added support for sending data to gnuplot via FIFOs (named pipes).
    This eliminates the ambiguity about when temporary files can be
    deleted, and thereby removes a common source of problems with
    Gnuplot.py.  Unfortunately, FIFOs only work under forms of unix.

  + Added preliminary support for running Gnuplot.py under Jython, the
    Java implementation of the Python language.  It partly works but
    depends on JNumeric, which is still beta-level.

  + Changed handling of 1-D arrays in the Data() function.  Now 1-D
    arrays are plotted as N points against the index number, rather than
    as 1 point with N coordinates.

Yours,
Michael
