Since Phil has not responded to my question concerning whether a few more days would help him get his desired wxwidgets changes in, I assume that sort of release delay would not help him. Therefore, I am going ahead with the release process for 5.12.0, and I plan to deal with the remaining wxwidgets issue(s) post release (and likely with a bug-fix release rather than full release in the interest of making Phil's fixes available to wxwidgets users of PLplot in a timely manner after he makes those fixes available for testing).
N.B. We are now in deep freeze, that is no pushes should be made to our master branch except in consultation with the release manager (i.e., yours truly). And in most cases I will likely say no. For example, earlier today I debated about help string updates for our python and octave bindings that would make those strings consistent with the latest api.xml changes. Eventually I decided to push those (since api.xml is in much better shape now then it was for plplot-5.11.1) but only after fairly extensive python and octave testing using the test_diff_psc target (just in the extremely unlikely event that the changed help strings could somehow screw up the bindings) and also using the recently updated test procedure in doc/docbook/README.developers to test those python and octave help strings. I still appear to be on schedule for the release of 5.12.0 tomorrow. For example, I just now finished my last planned update to the release notes (README.release) so I am roughly half way through the release process now as detailed in README.Release_Manager_Cookbook. So it is going well, but this is a fundamentally unpredictable process so we will see how soon I will be able to finish this. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
