[Plplot-devel] Version updated to 5.2.0

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

I finally figured out how to change the version number (and commented about
my findings in configure.ac) so ignore my prior questions about this,
Rafael.

For now, I decided to change to 5.2.0 for both the package version and the
version numbers for our various libraries in anticipation of the forthcoming
release.  In order to use the new versions, you must either make a clean
checkout from CVS or else do a 'make distclean' before running bootstrap.sh
etc.

If we ever get serious about keeping track of binary compatibility issues
for our several libraries, and only updating the library version when
appropriate, then we will have to look at the version for each of our
libraries on a case-by-case basis.  Until somebody wants to take on that
responsibility, setting all our library versions to the package version
number is easier even though this goes directly contrary to the
advice/advocacy on library versioning that you can find using 'info
libtool'.
