Re: Gnuplot Release 6.0.3

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

The macOS (ARM and Intel; fully self-contained) binaries are available in
the usual location:
https://csml-wiki.northwestern.edu/index.php/Binary_versions_of_Gnuplot_for_macOS

I compiled the ARM version on a new Mac, so let me know if you encounter
any issues. Compared to earlier versions, I now also included the WebP
terminal.
