Hi Arjen: I have just (the series of commits leading up to f7bedc70a) pushed a much-needed documentation update for <https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Testing_PLplot> where the test reports (so far not updated) have been separated out into their own wiki area <https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Testing_Reports>.
Since you also use our test system a lot, I would appreciate your critical review of this updated documentation. As my next step, I intend to update the Testing_Reports page with results from your recent good comprehensive tests on your Cygwin and MinGW-w64/MSYS2 platforms and my own recent good comprehensive tests on my Linux (Debian Buster) platform. N.B. I seriously do not like the really weird markdown editor that is available at SourceForge for our wiki pages. As far as I am concerned that GUI editor is mostly good for the extremely old-fashioned version (with ctrl-c, ctrl-v, and delete) of cut and paste and that is about it. And I am also not happy with the SF methods to allow us to only backup those markdown files in non-standard JSON format that no JSON converter can convert back to markdown! Therefore, as part of the preliminaries to updating Testing_PLplot, I have put all the markdown source for our SF wiki pages under git control in the PLplot source tree. So from now on, updating a wiki page such as Testing_PLplot means you should edit the definitive markdown source for that wiki page in our source tree (at doc/wiki_source/Testing_PLplot for this particular example) using your favorite editor, check the results by cutting and pasting those changes to the wiki edit GUI (available at <https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Testing_PLplot/> for this particular example), exit that SF GUI editor (which allows you to view the revised SF wiki entry generated by that GUI edit session), and if happy with that result, git commit the updated markdown file in our source tree. Or if you really like that GUI editor you can use it to edit our wiki at SF so long as you remember to cut and paste (that revised result directly from that GUI editor (not the SF page that links to that editor!) to the appropriate file in doc/wiki_source in our source tree and git commit that revised result.
