Thanks very much for this preliminary testing. I agree those different language consistency results for psc and svg are really intriguing (and surprising!), and I also agree they should be pursued post-release. > 1) Wxwidgets: I've reproduced most (but not all) of the snags in the > plplot bug. > I did notice one or two extra issues which I've documented in the bug > report.

For the "red spider web" example (test_tk_plgrid), I find that hitting enter no longer works to exit the example and instead you have to use the GUI to exit. This is a regression from tests I have run in the last year. For examples/c/x01c -dev tk hitting enter works fine to exit the example. For both examples, Page/setup/reset seems to work here, but after zoom accepts page limits it just produces a black plot which is a regression from when I tested this in the last year. Since -dev tk depends on xwin functionality and xwin depends on plbuf, it is possible the above regressions have been caused by recent plbuf changes. But if that is the case, I think it is likely we are going to have to sort out plbuf problems post-release when some excellent comprehensive testing of plbuf should become available to us with Jim's promised new plmeta/plrender functionality. > 3) The cmake based build of the examples ...
