Re: Planned release of gnuplot version 5.0 Patchlevel 4

[Daniel J S. <dan...@ie...>]

Yes.  Something has come up with a Windows-only bug interpreting 
formating characters like "a_b" that would be nice to investigate before 
another release.  I don't have a means of testing or creating a patch 
for Windows.  Sourceforge has been offline so I'm unable to post a bug.
