We only advertised the release of PLplot-5.7.1 here and on plplot_devel, but word seems to have gotten out about it. We have 300 downloads in the 15 days since release, and there continues to be a healthy download rate of roughly 20 per day.
Perhaps those continuing downloads are a sign that the new CMake build system (see http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/ for instructions on how to use this new build system) that was featured for this release is perfect. :-) However, we don't know for sure because word does not seem to have gotten out that we would appreciate feedback (either positive or negative) on this release. So for those who have tried 5.7.1 and the featured new CMake build system, please report to this list at least your platform and any positives/negatives you noticed about the new build system. Please also spread the word of our need for feedback to others who are trying 5.7.1. Thanks in advance for your help. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
