Re: [Gnuplot-py-users] gnuplot-pypackage to 1.8 -- NOT!

[Michael H. <mh...@al...>]

Please note: this is *NOT* an official release of Gnuplot.py.  Please do
not refer to it as Gnuplot.py version 1.8.

Thank you for trying to update Gnuplot.py, but as I mentioned in a mail
to you before you sent this email to the mailing list, there seem to be
problems with your changes.

First of all, your changes do not appear to be based off of a recent SVN
version of Gnuplot.py.  It appears that you have duplicated many changes
that John Parejko already made in SVN, and left out other changes that I
have made in SVN.

If you have made other changes besides the switch from Numeric to numpy,
then please apply those changes to the most recent trunk version of
Gnuplot.py from Subversion and send *those* changes to the mailing list,
including a message giving a brief description of your changes and
telling us exactly what Subversion revision of Gnuplot.py the changes
apply to.

Additionally, the fact that you called your version "Gnuplot.py 1.8" has
already caused confusion on the mailing list.  Version numbers should be
defined by the project admins to reduce the likelihood of confusion.

That being said, of course a release of Gnuplot.py is long overdue.
John, are you up to making an "official" 1.8?

Yours,
Michael
