Hello,

A Brief Summary Of What Is New In This Version:

Standard Release Boilerplate:

PLplot Release 5.6.1

This release corrects a number of outstanding issues with PLplot that  
were
discovered subsequent to the 5.6.0 release. It represents the ongoing  
efforts
of the community to improve the PLplot plotting package. Development  
releases
in the 5.7.x series will be available every few months. The next full  
release
will be 5.8.0.

with the tarball, and at

Addendum:

We (or more specifically I) have been having some trouble updating  
the documentation and demos on the web page, so these do not yet  
accurately reflect the current state of the project.


Thanks to all who tested 5.6.1 Release Candidate 1.

best,
