GNUPLOT VERSION 4.4.1 =================================== Version 4.4.1 is an incremental update to the current official base release gnuplot version 4.4. A synopsis of changes since the previous release is given below and in the NEWS file. Further information is given in ChangeLog. New features, changes and fixes in gnuplot version 4.4.1 =========================================================== * NEW Support the "%s" format specifier in strftime() * NEW Optional 6th data column in candlesticks style to specific box width * NEW If integer arithmetic i*j or i**j would overflow, return value as a real * NEW "set style circle radius <default-radius>" * FIX autoconfiguration of readline support in OSX * FIX font problems in win terminal * FIX Protect against runaway recursion by limiting depth of nested functions * FIX metapost terminal: Fix inheritance of line thickness by text strings * FIX cairo terminals could segfault on certain enhanced text strings * FIX pdfcairo output to stdout now works * FIX font ",size" in non-enhanced mode postscript terminals * FIX Do a better job of estimating the width of UTF-8 encoded strings * FIX baseline bug in canvas terminal rotation of enhanced text * FIX Allow "with labels" to work for binary input data * FIX update user GPVAL variables after plot in table mode * CHANGE depth-sorting of pm3d surfaces now applies jointly to all in the plot * CHANGE 3D impulses are now always drawn from z=0 * CHANGE Enable HIDDEN_QUADTREE by default * CHANGE Enable "set fit errorvariables" by default * CHANGE Regardless of current timefmt, read time from binary files as a binary * CHANGE do not limit 3D rotation to 0<rotx<180 NOTE TO PACKAGERS AND TESTERS =============================== We strongly encourage you to build, test, and package the new cairo-based terminals. These are pngcairo and pdfcairo for output to file, and wxt as the default interactive terminal. This introduces dependencies on libwxgtk2 libpangocairo libpango libcairo Of course the terminals (output modes) used by previous gnuplot versions are also still available, including png output based on libgd and interactive output using X11. Demo plots illustrating these and other features are online at http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo/ You can download a source tarball for gnuplot version 4.4.1 from the gnuplot development site on SourceForge. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2055 OTHER NOTES =============================== 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-4.4.1 ; ./configure ; make test it: make check install it: make install Pay careful attention to the output of the ./configure script. It may indicate that some output drivers have been omitted because the necessary support libraries were not found. In general you need to have previously installed the "*-devel-*" versions of these libraries. Known issues ------------ - OSX: The wxt terminal does not work. Alpha-channel support in aquaterm requires aquaterm version 1.0.1, available from http://aquaterm.sourceforge.net Aquaterm itself may not work on 64-bit systems. - External support library libgd version 2.0.36 introduces a new method of font selection using the fontconfig utitily. However, it does not work properly without a patch to the upstream libgd source that has not yet made it into packaged versions. Here it is: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% --- gd-2.0.36/gdft.c 2008-03-09 16:05:52.000000000 -0700 +++ gd-2.0.36-mod/gdft.c 2009-05-20 20:22:13.000000000 -0700 @@ -1661,7 +1661,7 @@ static char * font_path(char **fontpath, BGD_DECLARE(int) gdFTUseFontConfig(int flag) { #ifdef HAVE_LIBFONTCONFIG - fontConfigFlag = 1; + fontConfigFlag = flag; return 1; #else return 0; %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% - The MS Windows terminal device sometimes draws with a dashed line when it should draw with a solid line. (Tracker item 1952364). Also it doesn't yet fully support alpha-channel output. 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. The development branch is currently identified as version 4.5. Feedback and contributions of code are very welcome. |

Hello Configurations!! I will prepare the windows, DJGPP and cygwin binaries as soon as possible and upload on my website. Note: 1. I have update the document README.Windows concerning install to the windows vista and 7. This is now attached in my binary distribution of gnuplot 4.5 as the README.Windows.gpteam . Please check and modify and feedback to me. 2. As I have reported the here, the help file generated by my system has problems. http://old.nabble.com/help-file-on-windows-td29457099.html#a29457099 I will update gnuplot.rtf for windows help work shop. Will somebody generate wgnuplot.hlp from it? Anyway I will do happy works for distributions.
