Re: Release 5.2.8

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

Dear Ethan et al.,

Thank you. The OSX (Mac) package for 5.2.8 is available in the usual place (
https://csml-wiki.northwestern.edu/index.php/Binary_versions_of_Gnuplot_for_OS_X
).
Side note: please update http://gnuplot.info/download.html (where it
mentions 5.2.7 and "May 2019", twice)

Regards,

Erik
