How about a fresh release ?

[<tim...@en...>]

Hello !

I was wondering if it wasn't the good moment to do a fresh release of
gnuplot, I mean "gnuplot 4.1".

Very interesting features have been implemented, such as RGB color as a
linetype, which has sometimes be a source of complains in octave mailing
list for example. It's also the case of the new "image" plot style, as
well as the "vector" one. To continue with octave needs, I'm sure that
the new "set termoption <foo>" will be appreciated. The mouse always
enabled by default on x11 is also a important improvement, as many users
might have never discovered such a feature !

On the other hand, it could be a way to put a little more focus on
gnuplot. Users and scientists may be happy to learn that it's not dead
at all : I'm the first to lose my interest for a program when it doesn't
*appear* to be actively maintained. It's time to bring the new
functionnalities to all users who won't ever try to compile from cvs !

Greetings,
