The PLplot development freeze that started on October 27th contines, i.e., do not push any topics other than documentation updates or well-tested bug fixes. As part of the release process I have summarized (commit plplot-5.13.0-156-g39a15ae66) my recent comprehensive test reports for Debian Buster as the first two entries in the table at <https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Testing_Reports/>. The late October test was with cmake-3.7.2 (our minimum allowed version of CMake). Those results were perfect except that I forgot to install the haru software package so -dev pdf did not get tested. I corrected that oversight for my latest comprehensive test which I performed using cmake-3.13.1 (the latest release of CMake). Those results were perfect except for a run-time regression against the October results where the installed versions of qt_example and pyqt5_example.py both segfaulted. So for the final run of the comprehensive test script (which was perfect) I had to drop those tests using -DPLD_extqt=OFF. I don't think this issue is release critical so I am going to continue with the rest of the release process in README.Release_Manager_Cookbook with no code changes or further comprehensive tests. However, I have since discovered that for one combination (cmake 3.7.2 + shared libraries/dynamic devices + build tree), valgrind shows no memory management errors (i.e, segfaults were impossible for that combination) so a detailed valgrind comparison of all combinations possible (for all combinations tested by the comprehensive test script where only qt_example is tested for both cmake-3.7.2 and cmake-3.13.1) should easily find the specific PLplot or external cause of these segfaults, and if it is a PLplot issue I hope to make the fix soon after 5.14.0 is released. The 5.14.0 release process continues.... Alan __________________________ Alan W.
