Please remember, this is a beta, not an official release. That being
said, it is very stable, and much more feature-rich than the previous
release of Plucker, so please download and test thoroughly.
Since Plucker 1.2 was released, many hundreds of people have helped
make Plucker better and better. Many commercial companies use Plucker in
their businesses, and thousands of happy users are using Plucker every day.
Plucker 1.4 beta 1 includes a healthy set of changes from 1.2, many
more features and enhancements.
This beta release does not include Plucker Desktop or any other
GUI-based Plucker tools, other than the standard viewer, distiller, and
documentation. If you require other components to test this build, please
get them from CVS directly.
