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 100 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/2017/08/plplot-5130-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 * The Python binding and examples now work for both Python 2 and 3 * Change the Fortran naming convention * Fix many "space in prefix" issues * Complete rewrite of IPC between -dev wxwidgets and wxPLViewer * Implement a new Windows GDI (wingdi) device driver * Implement new Python extension module to support pytkdemo * Fix OCaml inconsistencies for example 8 * Improve the implementation of the OCaml binding Enjoy this new version of PLplot!
