I would like to request another development release (5.9.6) before the
5.10.0 release.  I have added a lot of code to the OCaml bindings
which I think would benefit from an official development release.  The
large amount of build-system updates, code reformatting and other
changes to the core PLplot code base would also benefit from the extra
publicity and testing a development release provides.
