We still seem on course for a release of 5.9.10 on September 28th (8 days from today).
Here is the status of the language bindings and examples. All is well except for the following languages: ada Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 16 33 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : adathick Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 16 33 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : ocaml Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 16 33 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : d Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 33 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : My understanding is that Jerry is working on the Ada issues, Hez is working on the OCaml issues, and Andrew is working on the D issues so there appears to be a good chance that we will have completely clean test_noninteractive (and test_interactive) results for this release. Here is what I hope to get accomplished before this release. 1. Implement sanity checks on NULL arrays for pllegend and plcolorbar. This change means that any input array that is used internally (rather than being ignored because of the specified input options) will be checked to make sure the array pointer is not NULL. Normally C users of these functions use NULL for the pointers to all arrays they think are ignored for a particular call because of the combination of options they have specified for that call. But if they make a mistake in the arrays they think will be ignored, these planned sanity checks should catch that mistake. 2. Add paragraphs to advanced.xml describing what pllegend and plcolorbar do. 3. Disable the production of the dvi form of documentation and make the corresponding change to our website (as discussed previously). 4. Update README.release to reflect the current status of pllegend and plcolorbar. 5. Update README.release to reflect the current status of the Cygwin platform. (This depends on Arjen's planned updates to our Wiki describing his recent Cygwin platform breakthroughs.) 6. Fix other Website issues such as the new locations for our Allura-based resources and additional pages for example 33. 7. Tests for this release during the last few days before the release. At minimum I plan to run scripts/comprehensive_test.sh, but I also hope to do some Wine testing as well with build_projects if I have time. 8. Do everything in README.Release_Manager_Cookbook (and edit that file if I change anything in that procedure) to get out the release itself. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
