Hi Hazen: I just finished comprehensive (21 major tests altogether) testing of PLplot on my Debian squeeze system using scripts/comprehensive_tests.sh. Those tests found some build-system issues which I have now fixed. As a result of these tests I believe that everything is OK on Debian platforms (and probably Ubuntu platforms as well). But I didn't have time to do any testing for MinGW/MSYS/wine or Cygwin/Wine. And it appears nobody has had time to run that script on Fedora and other Linux distributions as well as Mac OS X and various forms of Microsoft Windows. So this release is not as well-tested as its predecessors, but I am willing to accept that compromise in order to get the release out. Good luck with your release this evening!
