On behalf of all the PLplot developers I am happy to announce a new release of PLplot is now available. We have put a substantial amount of effort into this release (some 400 commits) so downloading it and building it is highly recommended.
For all the details concerning this release please follow the links given in <https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/news/2017/01/plplot-5120-has-been-released/>. Note that the release notes linked there are especially important because they give details concerning backwards incompatibilities (an unfortunate necessity to support our on-going but slow battle against cruft) and concerning the following highlights of this release: Bug fixes Rewrite the CMake Ada language support Rewrite the Fortran binding Supply old Fortran binding and examples option Backwards incompatibilities introduced by the new Fortran binding Examples reworked for the -DPL_DOUBLE=OFF case Changes to our Ada bindings and examples Changes to our tclmatrix library Backwards-incompatible changes to our Tcl/Tk bindings and examples Substantial rewrite of the DocBook documentation Default page size consistency Updated D language support Modernized build-system support for Qt4 and Qt5 Implemented support for pyqt5 Addressed -DPL_DOUBLE=OFF issues Replaced "Lena" with "Chloe" Removed trailing blanks on most text files in our source tree Make our wxwidgets find module consistent with the official version for CMake-3.7.1 Introduction of two new generic pointer types to help protect against a planned future C API breakage Introduction of additional self-describing names for the types of arguments used in our C API Implement submission of dashboards to the <my.cdash.org> cdash server Substantial update and rename of the Python examples Linux efficiency improvements for the wxwidgets device driver Enjoy this new version of PLplot!
