I think we should be mentally prepared for a PLplot development release in the very near future featuring our CBS.
I am starting work today on one release blocker (a script and accompanying CBS changes to create a release tarball). I have been in recent contact off list with Hazen about another release blocker (Tcl/Tk on Mac OS X), and he is following a good new lead which I think will solve the issue. It appears to me from Arjen's and Werner's recent work that our CBS on windows is already well ahead of our previous windows build system and making steady improvements that should strongly encourage the use of PLplot on windows. Thus, the two issues above are the only release blockers that I know of, and I hope we can make a development release shortly after those issues are dealt with to encourage many users to try out our CBS.
