The other uncertainty (other than how much time you have for testing
this week) in the release schedule is I still have a set of wxwidgets
issues remaining here which is the uninitialized variable in the
wxwidgets superscript/subscript logic that you discovered with MSVC,
and several other related issues I discovered for that
superscript/subscript logic. These issues only affect the
noninteractive test for MSVC (a build issue due to the uninitialized
variable), and the wxwidgets-only interactive tests on all platforms.
Which is why I encourage you to start your final noninteractive
testing for MinGW-w64/MSYS2 and Cygwin immediately rather than
waiting for my set of fixes.
I am not done yet with this set of wxwidgets superscript/subscript
fixes, but the uninitialized variable issue is solved, and I had
several breakthroughs in understanding that wxwidgets code today so I
am pretty confident I can finish this up by early Tuesday (UTC) which
should get rid of the wxwidgets build error for the noninteractive
MSVC case, and also allow you to interactively test wxwidgets on all
three platforms.
As promised, DONE as of commit ac753c6. This set of fixes did not
solve all issues with the superscript/subscript logic for wxwidgets
(see the commit message for the details). However, none of the
remaining issues I identified are release critical, and they are all
difficult to understand/fix without a much better understanding of the
transformation between the wxwidgets text string origin and the
corresponding PLplot text string origin. Therefore, I plan to deal
with these issues some time after the release as a low priority. As a
result, this commit is the last source code change for this release I
plan to make (unless our further testing turns up one or more
additional release critical issues).
