Documentation for 4.2

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

Hi,

As Ethan said a few days ago, the remaining work for 4.2 is decreasing,=20
and the main things to care about are now the documentation and the=20
version tags.

As far as the documentation is concerned, I would like to know what=20
should be done in the "news" section of gnuplot.doc. Currently there is=20
a section entitled "What's new in 4.2" and there is also the section=20
"What's new in 4.0". It seems to me that the latter should be removed,=20
after having checked that the items are well documented in the=20
appropriate places. Does that sound good ?

As a side-note, I found the following comment (gnuplot.doc:6857):
"This was valid only for gnuplot 4.0 (now mousing is on by default as in
 the case of other screen terminals):
 X11 mouse support is turned on by default if standard input comes from a
 terminal (tty). Mouse support is turned off if standard input does not
 come from a tty, e.g. a pipe. If you want to use mouse support while=20
writing
 to gnuplot from a pipe, the mouse must be turned on *before* starting=20
the x11
 driver, e.g. immediately after startup with the explicit command `set=20
mouse`.
 Beware: on some UNIX flavours, special input devices as /dev/null might =
not
 be `select-able`; turning on the mouse when using such devices will hang
 gnuplot."

I think this paragraph should be removed entirely. Please tell me if it=20
is appropriate.

Best regards,
