Hi Alan,
Thanks for the fast reply. I appreciate that you want to make sure that all newly implemented features have been properly tested before making the next release. Surely we can all benefit from that. However, since a new release is at least a month from now, I still would like to urge you to release a maintenance release (5.11.2) in the meantime, which branches off the commit tagged as ‘plplot-5.11.1’ and cherrypicks the two commits (and possibly other bugfixes) from master to ensure it builds properly with CMake 3.6. On a side note, I am also wondering if it would be possible to set up a mirror of the repository on GitHub? The fork and pull-request system is extremely good for collaboration. Also, it would be trivial to implement continuous integration support with e.g. Travis-CI and AppVeyor, which should really make testing a lot easier. I would gladly help out with that.
