I finally got (3) to work today by temporarily dropping everything that is wxwidgets related in the epa_build. Post release, I will implement a full epa_build of virtually all components of the GTK stack of libraries which should provide the necessary consistent set of those libraries as dependencies of wxwidgets and thus allow me to reintroduce wxwidgets into epa_build. > My > last pre-release step is to get (2) to work on MinGW/MSYS/Wine but the > timing of finishing that is still quite uncertain (it could be > Wednesday night or several days later) because it has been so long > since I have tried the MinGW/MSYS/Wine case. The above is the remaining step on my agenda before I start the release process. Of course, the caveat about uncertain timing for this step still holds, but I hope to get it done in the next 24 hours. I am pretty sure these tests will turn up a number of epa_build issues that I will want to fix before release, but I doubt there will be many issues turned up for the non-epa_build part of the PLplot source code. Therefore, I think this would be a good opportunity for everybody here to retest in the next 24 hours or so to make sure all the recent non-epa_build changes in PLplot since you last tested have not affected your platform. Of course, such retesting is a "would-be-nice" so you should not concern yourself with such retesting if you don't have time to do it on this extremely short notice.
