I am happy to report that the PLplot-5.11.0 release process has been completed. For more details such as download location, follow the link at plplot.sf.net to the news item concerning this release. We encourage everyone on this mailing list to try this new release. Once you have downloaded, gpg-verified, and unpacked the plplot-5.11.0.tar.gz file, you should pay close attention to the README.release file since that file contains the all-important notes for this release.
I thank all the developers that helped with this release, and I would especially like to point out the meta-contribution made by Hazen Babcock who suggested (and subsequently followed up with a large degree of practical help with the transition once we made the decision) that we move from svn to git as our revision control system during this release cycle. From my git newbie perspective last year I felt that transition slowed PLplot development initially as we all got used to git, but now I have a lot more git experience, I think it is a tremendous tool to help our development. For example, I sense our pace of development now is much faster than before because of git, and because of that and because of git features I personally enjoy using, I would certainly never want to go back to svn. Enjoy PLplot-5.11.0! Alan __________________________ Alan W. Irwin Astronomical research affiliation with Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Victoria (astrowww.phys.uvic.ca).
