                Gnuplot Version 6.0.1 Release Notes
                ===================================

Version 6 introduced extensions to the gnuplot command language,
support for new output protocols, and additional plotting styles.
Backward compatibility is given high priority in gnuplot development,
so users should find no significant changes required for techniques or
code that written for gnuplot version 5.

Patchlevel release 6.0.1 repairs several bugs found in the initial release
of version 6, most notably related to error handling by the wxt terminal.

Gnuplot development is tracked in a git repository on SourceForge.
