I applaud everyone's recent efforts here to make this the best-tested release of PLplot ever. One side effect, however, is I have been responding (with my own short tests to confirm results or not) to e-mail all day from you guys. And there is still a qt_example issue and a Mac OS X build issue that are not completely resolved. That is fine, and I am game for some more such interactions tomorrow. After all, such collaboration is a good way to shake out these remaining PLplot bugs, and we should keep doing that until we can find nothing more we want to tackle before release. But this extremely productive debugging activity does mean I have been unable to to even start the MinGW/MSYS/Wine tests that I still need to do before release. Therefore, the actual date of the release is still very likely to be before the start of next week but obviously that time is still not finalized very well.
By the way, this whole situation reminds me of Andrew's advice which supported the "earlier" December 14th release date. His reasoning was if our last-minute testing turned up any bugs (which turned out to be a large understatement) it would give us an extra week to deal with those while still being able to make the release before Christmas. Thanks for that extremely good advice, Andrew! Alan __________________________ Alan W.
