Hi Hazen: I am currently working on some issues I turned up with a comprehensive test script which does our three kinds of builds (shared library + dynamic devices, shared library + static devices, and static library + static devices) and tests each of those builds 7 different ways (ctest; test_(non)interactive in build tree; test_(non)interactive in installed examples configured with ctest; and test_(non)interactive in installed examples using the traditional Makefile+pkg-config approach). Once finished, I would be glad to share that comprehensive test script since it should make that task extremely easy to do on any Unix platform and also the Cygwin and MinGW/MSYS Windows platforms. I also strongly encourage our developers with access to other Windows platforms to share their automated methods of comprehensive testing of PLplot. If the release is mid-September, I should easily be able to finish off that comprehensive testing project. That release date might also give me a chance to finish off one of my other PLplot projects that have been cooking for awhile. However, I leave the decision about exact release timing up to you (i.e., don't wait for me). Whatever you decide, it would be good to have definite notice of which weekend you have picked as far in advance as possible, and similarly for definite notice of the day in that weekend.
