Re: [Plplot-general] PLplot 5.0.4 is released

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

My understanding is that ftp area will not be supported much longer by
sourceforge (for example, new projects don't get one) so I haven't bothered
with it for any release I was associated with.

In any case I would like to stick strictly to the file release area for thi=
s
and all future releases made via sourceforge because of its several
advantages.  It is directly accessible from our project page, it is
organized, and there is a possibility of writing release notes (although I
haven't done so).  Another big advantage is you can keep track of download
statistics.  For example, the tarballs for 5.0.1, 5.0.2, and 5.0.3, have
been downloaded 244, 485, and 881 times.  It is early days for the 5.0.4
tarball, which currently stands at 47 downloads, but it would be great to
see the downloads approximately double again for that version.
