> These release notes are for version 5.2 patchlevel 5 (5.2.5).

> extend beyond the edges of the plot. 
> (2) in versions 5.2.0 through 5.2.4 function plots in parametric and polar
> modes did not work with logscale x axis.

> CHANGES IN 5.2.5
> ================
> 
> * NEW "set pm3d depthorder base" sorts pm3d quadrangles by projecting 
> to z=0
> * NEW "set jitter vertical" displaces y coordinate rather than x 
> coordinate
> * NEW array size can be determined automatically from the initializer
> * CHANGE equivalent slope constraint for mcs splines at both ends of the range
> * CHANGE treat imaginary values plotted from a using spec as UNDEFINED (NaN)
> * CHANGE allow "reset" between plots in a multiplot layout
> * CHANGE Deprecate linux and vgagl terminals (to be removed in 5.3)
> * CHANGE placement of axis and tic labels in 3D projections on to xz or yz plane
> * CHANGE default to ./configure --without-wx-multithreading
> * FIX parametric function plots did not work with logscale x (regression in 
> 5.2.0-4)
> * FIX polar mode "set trange" was assumed to use radians, now it 
> tracks "set angle"
> * FIX clip polar grid lines and ticks to x/y range limits
> * FIX clipping of plot "with lines" when axes are nonlinear 
> (regression from 5.0)
> * FIX clipping of all elements in finanacebars/candlesticks/boxplots
> * FIX clipping of 3D splot "with labels"
> * FIX strange interaction of "noautoscale" with blank data lines
> * FIX alignment of boxed text to center for eps/cairolatex

I succuessfully built windows binaries for 32 and 64 bit.
all.dem also went well.
