Currently, we have no generally accepted fix for a wxwidgets-related release-critical issue so I have decided to put the release of 5.12.0 on indefinite hold until we have a rock-solid fix. The PLplot developer who has the most knowledge of our wxwidgets-related software has several ideas for implementing the needed fix. So that is a big relief. However, he will only be able to start working on this in January so this hold is obviously going to be in effect for a while. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
