Gnuplot version 4.2.6 is released as of today. SourceForge has totally re-worked the process for putting out a release. Making the actual files available for download is now much easier. Unfortunately, I can't find an equivalent to the old button "E-mail an announcement to everyone who requested notification". So tell all your friends :-) Ethan (sf...@us...) GNUPLOT VERSION 4.2.6 =================================== Version 4.2.6 is an incremental update to the current official base release gnuplot version 4.2. This is expected to be the final update to the 4.2 series; the next release will be version 4.4 A synopsis of changes since the previous release is given below and in the NEWS file. Full information is given in the ChangeLog. New features, changes and fixes in gnuplot version 4.2.6 =========================================================== * NEW xterm tektronix emulation 'set term xterm' * FIX off-by-one pixel bug in width of boxes with palette or rgb color * FIX center rotation of 'set view equal xyz' mode at screen center * FIX sanity-check time ranges for axes with timeformat * FIX pslatex blacktext and broken format specifier * FIX PostScript code points for Lcaron, lcaron in encoding cp1250 * CHANGE If a 2D plot uses a Z-based palette, then autoscale cbrange * CHANGE aquaterm accepts "size xx,yy" with a comma * CHANGE Remove the EXPERIMENTAL flag from the wxt terminal * CHANGE Remove the EXPERIMENTAL flag from the x11 terminal binary polygon mode Demo plots illustrating these and other features are online at http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_4.2/ You can download a source tarball for gnuplot version 4.2.5 from the gnuplot development site on SourceForge. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2055 Installation ------------ Installation instructions are available in the source itself; the short version for linux/unix-like systems is to unpack the tarball and then build it: cd gnuplot-4.2.6 ; ./configure ; make test it: make check install it: make install Known issues ------------ - Internationalization and locale support is incomplete in version 4.2. If you encounter problems with character encodings, numerical formats, or other locale issues, try the CVS development branch on SourceForge. - Octave has recently changed its method of sending data to gnuplot for plotting; data is passed in-line through the pipe to gnuplot's stdin. Unfortunately, the current Gnuplot 4.2 code does not support mouse interaction with in-line data. This problem is fixed in the development branch, and the fix will appear in version 4.4. Support ------- Please report all bugs and installation problems to the bug tracker on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=2055&atid=102055 There is also an active gnuplot discussion forum on usenet group comp.graphics.apps.gnuplot Development ----------- Gnuplot development is quite active. The development branch on SourceForge contains preliminary implementations of many new features. At the time of this release, the development branch is identified as version 4.3. When version 4.4 is released, the development branch will be relabeled 4.5. Feedback and contributions of code are very welcome. |

On this matter (since I was recently very confused about this): The domain at www.gnuplot.info points to a mirror of the gnuplot main site at gnuplot.sourceforge.net. This mirror is currently hosted by Virginia Tech and administered by Clark Gaylord (who also owns the gnuplot.info domain). Clark assures me that the mirror is refreshed once a day. Clark suggests that Virginia Tech provides better internet connectivity than sourceforge, hence the mirror. (I am in no position to judge the accuracy of this statement.) Personally, I have been confused that gnuplot.info is a mirror - I always thought it was a mere alias for the main site. (If nobody objects, I will put a note explaining the relationship between the two sites into the documentation page on the gnuplot website.) Best, Ph.

Aha, that explains it. It seems odd to have the "official" gnuplot site (well, the #1 google hit) be a mirror of the "primary" site, with a lag of up to 24 hours. On the gretl page that references gnuplot I've now switched the URI to point to gnuplot.sourceforge.net. Allin Cottrell |

I don't mind the mirroring (although I don't see the need for it either), but I do mind that it is not more clearly stated. > > On the gretl page that references gnuplot I've now switched the > URI to point to gnuplot.sourceforge.net. > > Allin Cottrell |

I've just noticed this new behaviour in 4.2.6:
gnuplot> set key
^
warning: deprecated syntax, use "set key default"
This was not happening until recently and neither this happens in cvs. Isn't
this a bug?

According to "cvs annotate set.c", it has been that way since 17-May-03. That was six and a half years ago, even before 4.0 was released. And I can confirm that 4.0 gives the same error message on that command. (Yes, I have runnable executables going back to 3.7.2) |
