[Plplot-general] PLplot 5.2.1 RC1 released

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

Rafael Laboissiere has spent a lot of effort removing configuration bugs and
generally polishing the configuration and library definition paradigm shifts
that I initiated with PLplot-5.2.0, and Joao Cardoso has added some
important 3D functionality for irregularly spaced data (see x21c.c). Thus,
the developers feel the new 5.2.1 version of PLplot should be a substantial
improvement on 5.2.0. Furthermore, this version has been tested by the
developers and some of our users on all platforms accessible to them, and
now it is time to extend our testing still further.  Accordingly, we are
giving you our release candidate 1, plplot-5.2.1.rc1.tar.gz, to hammer for
the next 6 days.

With luck you won't find anything, you will get to try the new PLplot a week
early, and our final release next weekend will be identical except for
version number.

If you do still find a problem, please report it to this list (not to me
personally) with clear platform information, and full output of configure,
make, and make install.

Download from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2915, and
to check the download,

Good luck with your testing of release candidate 1!

Alan, for the developers.
