Every one of the issues that Valery encountered turned out to be due to
factors other than PLplot (except for the octave build-tree=source-tree
issue which should impact few since most users presumably follow our strong
recommendation to use a separate build tree).

The only release-critical issue I am aware of at the present time is a
segfault I discovered a day ago when I ran

softw...@raven> c++/wxPLplotDemo 
Segmentation fault

in the installed examples tree.

I think this has been introduced by Werner's recent wxwidgets change because
I didn't notice this segfault in my previous interactive tests. I
immediately contacted Werner about this with the valgrind run that confirmed
the issue, but he has been out of e-mail contact.

If he is still out of e-mail contact tomorrow (Saturday) morning (Pacific
time), I will try reverting his recent wxwidgets change to see if that fixes
the issue.
