Release plans: Version 4.4.4 and beyond

[<pl...@pi...>]

 >>
My plan is to release version 4.4.4 some time in the next month,
consistent with the ~6 month release cycle that has held throughout
the 4.2 and 4.4 release series.  NEWS entries for 4.4.4 include

* NEW boxxyerrors plot style now allows variable color
* NEW splot with pm3d now allows variable rgb color
* NEW "nonuniform matrix" indicates ascii data with explicit x, y
* CHANGE columnhead(N) is a string-valued function, not a keyword
* CHANGE Demarcate plots in svg output using <g id="Plot_#"><title>...
* CHANGE xticlabels() works for binary data files as well as ascii
* CHANGE "set key maxrows" now applies to 3D plots as well as 2D
* CHANGE rewrite installation path rules for TeX files
* FIX wxt terminal should now work on at least some flavors of OSX
* FIX incorrect space allowed for outside left key box
* FIX buffer overflow from enhanced text timefmt tic labels
* FIX correction for offset in epochs when reading in time format "%s"
* FIX discontinuity in defined palette limited by maxcolors
* FIX initialization of svg pattern-fill definitions
* FIX positioning of histogram bars when some data entries are missing
* FIX emf terminal can handle UTF-8 encoding

I saw "not_a_number for MinGW build (gcc-4.5.0)" was committed just over 
a year ago but did not seem to be fixed in 4.4.3 release in March.

I don't use "other" OSes myself but I'm helping a college who has that 
misfortune. He is very impressed with gnuplot which I encouraged him to 
use and gave his a script for his data to get him started. However, I 
had to do a messy hack to get around the NaN=0 bug in the windoze build 
he got from SF.

I don't have a cross-compilation set up for mwing so I can't build it here.

Will this be fixed in next release?

Best regards, Peter.
