Hi Jerry: I am moving this discussion to the list because of some general comments I want to make.

Thanks very much for bringing the Ada bindings and Ada examples into consistency with C. I confirm that perfect Ada result here as well. So we go into the release with only the following remaining non-perfect PostScript comparisons: octave Missing examples : 19 Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : perl Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 03 16 19 25 29 30 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : lua Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 19 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : which is acceptable, although I hope those straightforward Perl/PDL and lua issues can be sorted out soon after the release. The other point I want to make about this release is that according to the results posted at http://miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Testing_PLplot, this release is only tested on Debian and Ubuntu. I wish to thank Hazen and Andrew for the Ubuntu test results they added to my test results for Debian Lenny. I have not reported further tests there of MinGW/MSYS on Wine because those have not yet been completed. Furthermore, others have failed to report anything for various Mac OS X and Windows platforms as well as Linux platforms other than Debian and the closely related Ubuntu. This lack of cross-platform testing is a major concern for this release, and it may come back to haunt us with platform-dependent bugs we let slip through due to lack of such testing. Anyhow, I hope we do a lot better throughout the next release cycle with on-going test reports at http://miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Testing_PLplot for Debian, Ubuntu, and other Linux distros such as Fedora, various Mac OS X platforms, and all the varieties of Windows platforms (including MinGW/MSYS on Wine from me). Hazen, I don't plan any other commits until your release process is finished tomorrow. Good luck with that! Alan __________________________ Alan W.
