I have now finished the release of PLplot-5.10.0, the commit freeze is
now gone, and we have now started the PLplot-5.11.0 release cycle.

Early plans for the last release cycle emphasized it's "stable"
nature, and although we abandoned that idea (and in fact we have
dropped the whole concept of "development" releases), I suspect that
"stable" label seriously inhibited development of PLplot-5.10.0.  From
now on all our releases will be "stable" in the sense that they are
well-tested, but any factors inhibiting development for one release
cycle compared to another should now be gone. Furthermore, I strongly
encourage you to develop early in this release cycle rather than near
its end (roughly 3-4 months from now) to give us all the maximum
possible length of experience with your new PLplot development before
it is released.

In sum, I hope to see lots of patches and commits for this release
cycle starting right away.
