No, the issue is that 5.1.1 doesn't work at all on Lion, and we should emphasize that the new release does work. On Aug 2, 2011 10:01 AM, Eli Barzilay e...@barzilay.org wrote: An hour ago, Sam Tobin-Hochstadt wrote: On Tue, Aug 2, 2011 at 6:14 AM, Eli Barzilay e...@barzilay.org wrote:

I'll write a backward-compatible wrapper for plot, so yes. Mostly. I'll try to emulate it as closely as possible, but any code that depends on the specific pixels or snip% class `plot' generates will probably break. I want plot2d and plot3d to be a little saner than plot. For example,
