Hi Tom, I notice from your tarball that configure.ac has a different size and recent date compared to the cvs version. I assume the difference is the 5.5.0 version (with no suffix), but that change should be committed to cvs. Also, I notice the website still has the old documentation. I hope you have plans to update that soon (directions in the cvs file www/README) to be consistent with the 5.5.0 release (and similarly for the 5.5.1 release if any of the documentation is changed from 5.5.0). Finally, I notice that although you cross-posted your announcement to plplot-general, it hasn't come through yet to me or on the list archives. It may be the mailer at SF is slow, but another alternative explanation is you might not be signed up for plplot-general (which is required if you want to post there). Sorry that I have found these nits to pick, but that's my role in life.... :-) Thanks very much for all your hard work getting this first development release off the ground. I expect the next release should be a lot easier for you. Alan __________________________ Alan W.

I recall editing the configure.ac in this way a while ago, but that's not what I did yesterday (I used command-line options instead). If I understand everything properly, the scripts work exclusively from the SF cvs, so I have no idea how this happened. > Also, I notice the website still has the old documentation.

My assumption here was that we would only release documentation for full releases. However, I can certainly update it for the development releases if that is people's interest. > Finally, I notice that although you cross-posted your announcement > to plplot-general, it hasn't come through yet to me or on the list > archives.

I did post to plplot-general, but SF was terribly slow yesterday. I do not subscribe to that list, so the message should come through to you eventually. > Sorry that I have found these nits to pick, but that's my role in life.... > :-) No worries.

So your messages will never get through to plplot-general unless Rafael (who deals with mail list problems) intervenes every time. The traffic from plplot-general is actually much lighter (at least a factor of 20) than plplot-devel so there is virtually no downside to you subscribing. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
