That freeze date is at least a month away because I am currently
bogged down in a series of substantial updates to the documentation;
there are several more substantial changes on my agenda for this
release cycle after that documentation effort is completed; and Arjen
is currently working on another substantial change which is to adapt
our new Fortran binding and examples so they work with the NAG Fortran
compiler.  (That compiler is noted for being persnickety about
standards compliance so once we can build our new Fortran binding and
examples with that compiler, there is a much-improved chance that we
will be compatible with additional Fortran compilers beyond the NAG
compiler and our current tested list of the ifort and gfortran
compilers.)

In sum, there continues to be a window of opportunity for PLplot
developers (in addition to Arjen and me) to mature their favorite
topic branches to the point where they can be pushed to the SF
repository master branch and can be made part of the forthcoming
release.
