I am pleased to report on behalf of the PLplot developers that PLplot-5.9.11 is now available for you to download, build, and test. For details of this latest release, please follow the links in http://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/news/2013/12/plplot-release-5911/
The README.release and ChangeLog.release files in plplot-5.9.11.tar.gz are of particular interest. Note especially the complete removal of f77, and the small (mostly having to do with PLplot constants) backwards- incompatible changes in Python, Java, Lua, Octave, Fortran 95, and Tcl bindings. Also note the extensive testing (6 individuals participated using 15 different platforms) done for 5.9.11. Of course, if you notice any 5.9.11 bugs on your own platforms please get in touch on this plplot-general mailing list or else the plplot-devel mailing list. I strongly suggest you download both <http://sourceforge.net/projects/plplot/files/plplot/5.9.11%20Source/plplot-5.9.11.tar.gz.asc> and <http://sourceforge.net/projects/plplot/files/plplot/5.9.11%20Source/plplot-5.9.11.tar.gz> since that allows you to run gpg --verify plplot-5.9.11.tar.gz.asc to verify that Alan W. Irwin identified by pub 2048R/BB159E92 2011-08-19 [expires: 2016-08-17] uid Alan W. Irwin (Time Ephemerides key) <air...@users.sourceforge.net> uid Alan W.

Irwin (PLplot key) <air...@users.sourceforge.net> sub 2048R/C5ECCF77 2011-08-19 [expires: 2016-08-17] is the author of plplot-5.9.11.tar.gz, and you have downloaded that tarball without any bit errors. Please also take a look at plplot.sf.net which has had some modest changes (especially in the documentation) since the release of 5.9.10. Hammer this new version of PLplot hard and report all bugs that you find (ideally with patches to fix the bug if you can manage that) because our next release will be for a stable version of PLplot (5.10.0) which will be based on this (5.9.11) release of PLplot plus bug fixes. Note we prefer initial bug discussion to be on plplot-devel or else here since we would prefer to be fixing bugs rather than doing bug triage. That frees up the bug tracker to keep track of issues which we are having trouble fixing in a timely manner. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
