============== Changelog ==============

2003-10-05 01:42  rlaboiss

	* lib/csa/Makefile.am: Removed csa_internal.h from EXTRA_DIST.

2003-10-04 23:05  airwin

	* drivers/README.drivers: This is the long-promised update of this
	basic documentation file for writing device drivers for PLplot.

2003-10-04 22:29  jcard

	* lib/nn/Makefile.am, lib/nn/delaunay.c, lib/nn/delaunay.h,
	lib/nn/hash.c, lib/nn/hash.h, lib/nn/linear.c, lib/nn/lpi.c,
	lib/nn/nan.h, lib/nn/nn.h, lib/nn/nnai.c, lib/nn/nncommon.c,
	lib/nn/nnpi.c, lib/nn/version.h, src/plgridd.c: Update to nn
	version 1.38

2003-10-04 22:25  jcard

	* lib/csa/csa_internal.h: Not needed in csa version 0.22

2003-10-04 22:24  jcard

	* lib/csa/: csa.c, csa.h, nan.h, version.h: Update to csa version
	0.22

2003-10-04 19:53  airwin

	* examples/: c/Makefile.examples.in, c++/Makefile.examples.in,
	f77/Makefile.examples.in, tk/Makefile.examples.in: Put in EXEEXT
	(executable extension) support for those platforms like Cygwin that
	require it.  Also, make the clean and all targets identical.

2003-10-04 14:08  airwin

	* examples/c/Makefile.examples.in: rm ==> rm -f

2003-10-03 18:28  airwin

	* bindings/c++/plstream.cc: AWI for Andrew Ross
	<an...@co...>. Correct problem with too many
	lines commented out while removing the plinit() calls from the
	plstream constructor.  This two-line change to the API does not
	affect the current examples, but according to Andrew does affect
	other programmes using the PLplot C++ API.

2003-10-02 08:47  airwin

	* Makefile.am: Bug fix for changed way we now handle libltdl.  Only
	do libltdl directory for case when dyndrivers are enabled.

2003-10-01 23:05  airwin

	* bindings/java/README.javaAPI: Update documentation to reflect
	building of installed java examples that now occurs automatically
	and the new installed location for the module (DLL) for the java
	PLplot interface.

2003-10-01 22:52  airwin

	* bindings/java/Makefile.am: Complete reorganization following what
	is done for ../../bindings/python/Makefile.am.
	
	Note that install-exec-hook: is now used to compile all the
	installed java files rather than compiling them in a local
	directory underneath bindings/java before installation, and this
	reduces a lot of clutter that was occurring before.
	
	Another notable change is the java module that interfaces to PLplot
	is no longer built like a full-blown library with a version number,
	precision tag, etc. with installation into $prefix/lib with
	appropriate version number symlinks.  Instead, it is built
	similarly to the python module and installed in the location where
	the core java and compiled class files are installed.

2003-10-01 22:41  airwin

	* bindings/java/: PLStreamc.java, config.java.in: For
	PLStreamc.java,  change from
	
	System.loadLibrary( plplot.core.config.libname );
	
	to
	
	System.load( plplot.core.config.libname );
	
	The former requires setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux/Unix systems
	(ugh, that is old-fashioned!).
	
	The latter requires an absolute path name + exact name of
	dynamically loaded module which is setup in configure.ac and
	configured using config.java.in.
	
	Yipee! No more setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH is required for PLplot
	java use!

2003-10-01 22:29  airwin

	* configure.ac: * Only do libltdl related actions if dyndrivers is
	enabled.
	
	* Define AC_SUBSTituted variables JAVA_INSTDIR and
	PLPLOTJAVAC_WRAP_DLL for the absolute path of the Java install
	location, and the name of the module for interfacing java to PLplot
	that is (now) installed in that location.

2003-10-01 22:22  airwin

	* acinclude.m4: Add another macro, GET_DLLNAME, for getting the
	name for dynamically loaded libraries (modules).  This macro has
	largely been copied from GET_DLNAME.  On many systems the name for
	modules is just simply namestem.so, but we cannot assume that for
	all Unix platforms.

2003-10-01 22:12  airwin

	* bindings/python/README.pythonbuild: Tweak wording to reflect Mac
	OS X success.

2003-10-01 22:10  airwin

	* bindings/python/Makefile.am: Drop -no-undefined from LDFLAGS for
	the creation of the module that will be dynamically loaded by
	python. It makes no sense to resolve every reference at link time
	since python will be supplying the references to the python library
	names at dynamic load time. (Thanks to Rob Managan for his Mac OS X
	error report on this issue.)

2003-10-01 22:03  airwin

	* examples/java/README.javademos: Update documentation reflecting
	the automatic build of the examples by make install.

2003-10-01 21:59  airwin

	* test/test_java.sh: Update commentary.

2003-10-01 21:54  airwin

	* examples/java/Makefile.am: Compile java examples after
	installation.  This is contrary to what we do for our other
	compiled language examples, but seems consistent with what is
	normally done for distribution of java software.

2003-10-01 21:50  airwin

	* examples/c++/Makefile.am: $(LN_S) must be preceded by rm -f. 
	(Thanks to Rob Managan for his error report concerning this issue.)

2003-10-01 21:38  airwin

	* doc/docbook/: docbook.m4, src/Makefile.am: As discussed on the
	list deal with SourceForge username consistently both for configure
	time using the --with-www-user=NAME option and at make time
	overriding the WWW_USER variable using
	
	make WWW_USER=NAME
	
	Previously, overriding the make variable required a trailing @ in
	the NAME, but now NAME is treated identically in both cases with no
	trailing @ required.

2003-10-01 12:58  rlaboiss

	* configure.ac, include/plConfig.h.in: Better wording in comment
	for PL_DOUBLE
	
	The comment preceeding #define PL_DOUBLE is now clearer.  Thanks to
	Arjen Markus <arj...@wl...> for the suggestion.
