I wonder if there will be Windows binaries for the 5.4.0 release? The release has been a while now... I would like to get my hands on some new functions. ;-)
(Or did the download folder change? Maybe I am not up-to-date here?)
Testing binaries of 5.4.0 are available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/testing/
Unfortunately, I am experiencing issues on some systems and there have been a number of Windows specific bug reports, which I did not find the time to address yet.
Feedback would be very much appreciated.

I installed 5.4-rc2 and now the Windows terminal won't open. You can see the window opening and closing immediately. No error messages or anything. Is there a debug log file or something to provide helpful information about this issue?

Sorry to hear that. Did you use the installer gp540-win64-mingw.exe? That is 5.4.0 really, although it might say "rc2". There's no LOG file unfortunately. What exactly where you doing? Open wgnuplot with terminal set to "windows" and "plot x"? Do the "qt" or "wxt" terminals work?
Or does it crash immediately? If yes, could you please try uninstalling and reinstalling again? I am suspecting a DLL clash. It may also be that there are incompatible DLLs with the same name in your PATH.
Do you have an '%APPDATA%\wgnuplot.ini' file? Is the behaviour similar for the console version as for wgnuplot?

=> The plot window shows completely white and closes immediately. gnuplot.exe exits as well.
wxt and qt terminals are s working. windows terminal is not.
It is the same for gnuplot.exe, wgnuplot.exe and wgnuplot_pipes.exe.
I did several installs and uninstalls. In gp528-win64-mingw.exe it was still working.
There is no '%APPDATA%\wgnuplot.ini' file.
It does not look like a DLL mismatch problem to me. Here is the trace right after I issued “plot x” using windows terminal from the console (https://pastebin.com/GM3amphM). Only Image and Process events are shown.

I can confirm, however, that on my machine (Win10, x64, 64 bit OS + Gnuplot) its the same bevaviour: windows terminal immediate close, wxt + qt terminal works.

I downloaded the source code and built it successfully with MinGW and kinda have a workspace in VS code to debug gnuplot.exe with gdb.
The crash happens in wd2d.cpp:d2dResize(LPGW lpgw, RECT rect) at this call: lpgw->pDXGISwapChain->ResizeBuffers(0, 0, 0, DXGI_FORMAT_UNKNOWN, 0);
An exception is raised here becauselpgw->pDXGISwapChain is null. It is null because in wd2d.cpp:d2dCreateDeviceSwapChainBitmap(LPGW lpgw) the call to dxgiFactory->CreateSwapChainForHwnd(g_pDirect3dDevice, lpgw->hGraph, &props, NULL, NULL, &pDXGISwapChain); returnshr=0x80070057 (ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER).
Edit: I'm on the branch-5-4-stable branch (commit 4ab20ae079d7a59348181397a9a10f0ac42b1e28). Also tested on master. Same issue.

Yes, a windows binary release would be highly appreciated!
It contains a crucial bug fix for my use cases.
Sadly it is not straight forward to build gnuplot from source on windows.
At least, I never managed to produce a fully working binary ...
Building gnuplot on Windows in fact is rather straightforward using MSYS2/Mingw64. Instructions can be found here: [#199].

Ok I only tried MSVC ...
Thanks for the link!

Yes I used
gp540-win64-mingw.exe.What I did:
=> The plot window shows completely white and closes immediately. gnuplot.exe exits as well.
wxtandqtterminals are s working.windowsterminal is not.It is the same for gnuplot.exe, wgnuplot.exe and wgnuplot_pipes.exe.

Thanks for the hint to the download!

Great! Thank you. That should be sufficient info to sort this out. I'll have a look on the weekend.
Please see Bugs #2304 also.
