Re: Version 5.2.5 Release

[Erik L. <eri...@gm...>]

Hi Ethan (and others),

Just to let you know that the OSX binary is available now from
https://csml-wiki.northwestern.edu/index.php/Binary_versions_of_Gnuplot_for_OS_X
For the first time, I compiled with the libgd library, so that the GIF,
JPEG and PNG terminals are available as well. (As is the PDF terminal, like
in prior versions.)

A small note: Can you update http://gnuplot.info/download.html#OSX (at the
top, it says "The most recent release was 5.2.3 (May 2018)").

Regards,

Erik
