Re: [Plplot-devel] Status of the 5.9.10 release

Tue, 01 Oct 2013 12:18:11 -0700

Hi Alan and Arjen, 
This is with version 2.9.5, the current stable version, of wxWidgets under Windows 7, 64 bits
with a very recent version of Cygwin.

According to http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ 2.9.5 is the latest
development version rather than the latest stable version.
Actually it was planned that there is already a wxWidets 3.0 release. Altough this is not the case, the 2.9.5 development release is ok also for using in production environment: "Also notice that while this is still officially a development release, we consider it to be stable enough to be used in production environment and using it is strongly recommended for any new projects for which compatibility with the previous 2.8 is not important."

There were a lot of changes in comparison to 2.8 though (unicode, 64 bit, etc.), so it's not surprising that the wxWidgets driver doesn't compile out of the box. It's actually not hard to "port" code from 2.8 to 2.9, but if you want to maintain backward compatibility it is a little more of work.

As Alan suggests wxWidgets 2.8 should be used for the current wxWidgets driver.


This is both with the default options and with --with-x to force wxWidgets to use the
X11 Window system (I hoped that would avoid the similar error I got at first).
I'm not quite sure about that option, but wxWindows uses Windows API on Windows, gtk on Linux and cacoa/carbon on Mac OS X. There are other backends (universal, X and others) but these are not maintained and seriously outdated.

Regards,
Werner

I do not suppose anyone on this list can solve it, but in case you have any tips, I'd appreciate
them.

I still need to create a news item and do other publicity, and I also
need to refine my notes on this release process in
README.Release_Manager_Cookbook. But otherwise, the 5.9.10 release
process is completed and the commit freeze is lifted.

Let the 5.9.11 release cycle begin!

As a first item on that agenda Werner has told me off list he has a
fix for the newfeed issues for our website so once he commits that I
will propagate just that fix to the website.

The updated website is now available at http://plplot.sf.net. It
turns out deleting the old website with files belonging to Hazen was
impossible with rsync, but I finally managed to do it with sftp using
a lot of different "rm *" and rmdir <explicit subdirectory name>
commands (since recursive rm was not available for sftp). After that
mass deletion by hand was completed via sftp, I was able to upload the
local copy of the website to our SourceForge website using rsync with
no further issues.

Please take a look at the new contents (especially the documentation
and many of the links that were broken previously) of the website.

I also uploaded the local copy of the 5.9.10 tarball, its
signature file, and combined release notes + ChangeLog in
README.release to our file release area. These results can be
found at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/plplot/files/plplot/5.9.10%20Source,
and I encourage you to download, gpg-verify, and test those results.

Alan
