Re: Win32 build of gnuplot 5.0.2

[Bastian M. <bma...@we...>]

I agree that binary releases should match exactly the released source 
tarballs.

As "wxt" is the default terminal for the binary Windows builds, a timely 
5.0.3 release seems to be a good idea. I would prefer to release 5.0.2 
builds now anyway in order to see if there are any other "urgent" fixes 
required for Windows.
