Re: [Plplot-general] Status of the release of 5.12.0

[Phil R. <p.d...@gm...>]

Hi Alan
I have just emailed about the last fix I was working on - please see
that thread.

Regarding the docbook documentation. I would like to update the
wxWidgets documentation too, but don't want to generate any nightmare
merge issues by working on a file that you are making major changes
to.

Do you think it is worth me waiting until you have finished and
commited your changes before making mine?

Phil
