So we now have three good tests on Linux and one good test on Windows. So this indeed seems promising as a solution to this release critical bug, and I thank you for this timely release-critical bug fixing. @Both: To finish off this topic for the release I need some more from both of you. @Phil: 1. It sounded from your description that you were changing the example to try two different methods of generating those plots so it makes sense that test_wxPLplotDemo now produces two identical plots for me, but please confirm that the two plots I observed are the intended effect. 2. Please commit a change to README.release describing what you have done to deal with this bug equivalent to what Pedro wrote up for his solution. @Pedro: I think your current CentOS test is equivalent to just building the test_wxPLplotDemo target? Please extend that test to building the test_c_wxwidgets target as well. You were already planning to test Phil's solution on all the Linux platforms accessible to you, but please do the full test (build both the test_wxPLplotDemo and test_c_wxwidgets targets) for all Linux platforms. And similarly for your Windows platforms. There, the convenient test_* targets won't work so you will have to do the equivalent by hand (run wxPLplotDemo and run several C examples with -dev wxwidgets). Finally, please also test your own software projects that link with the plplotwxwidgets library on all platforms where you expect your own software projects to currently work. (I assume that is just Windows, but please test on at least one Linux platform as well if you expect your software to work on both Windows and Linux.) Every tested platform that you add gives us just that much further confidence that Phil's solution is robust for this release, and I thank you in advance for all this essential testing work for our release.
