Sorry for repeating this, but the date for RC1 is an important issue that deserves the proper subject line. On 2007-10-16 21:18-0400 Hazen Babcock wrote: > > On Oct 14, 2007, at 1:03 PM, Alan W.

I am not aware of any active PLplot development work right now so unless somebody speaks up quickly this coming weekend sounds fine to me. I encourage everybody here to do as much platform testing as possible between now and RC1. We have had a recent bad report for 5.7.4 on Cygwin so I especially hope those here with access to that platform will test it. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
