@Hez: As of revision 11820 I am done with all my planned changes for plcolorbar. Thanks for being willing to take over now to review my changes and also test my changes (presumably by adding to example 33). @Everybody: plcolorbar is finalized as far as I am concerned now, but not all functionality has been tested yet. Furthermore, it is still early days with some chance that Hez might implement additional ideas now that he is responsible for plcolorbar again. So please do not propagate to other language bindings/examples until Hez gives the word (probably some time during the next release cycle). @Hazen: Ideally, Hez will be able to complete a lot of his planned testing and tweaking of plcolorbar before the release, but I don't think we should delay the release waiting for him since plcolorbar is still relatively untested and may need further changes in the next release cycle in any case. I do plan to do some testing of PLplot before the release, but I can spend only minor amounts of time on PLplot for the remainder of this summer so I will probably limit that testing just to running scripts/comprehensive_test.sh on Linux a couple of days before the scheduled release. It would be a big help if others here also ran that script and reported both good and bad results at http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Testing_PLplot (and followed up here with the bad results so we could fix them if possible before the release). I would like to do wine testing as well using that script, but that tends to be much more time consuming to set up all the Windows/wine prerequisites required for comprehensive testing so I will likely give wine testing a miss this time. Therefore, I suggest you go ahead and set the date for the release at the first convenient weekend for you (next weekend?). I can certainly adjust to any date you decide, and I expect that is true of everyone else here as well. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
