Here is the status of my work. I have completed (3) above although with some interactive examples excluded for now because of bugs which I reported to the bugtracker. I still have two things left on my agenda (polygon fill algorithm improvements and the time improvements mentioned as (4) above), but I plan to spend quite a bit of time on FreeEOS in the next 4 months so these PLplot projects will likely be put off until some time after the present release. It is probably an obvious point, but just to state it explicitly, I think this release should be a development release not only because of my unfinished business but a lot of other unfinished business as well. Despite this unfinished business, I definitely agree it is time for a development release, and the end of April is fine with me. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
