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 ~50 commits), and it is the only version we support by answering questions here 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/2019/06/plplot-5150-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). Those release notes contain official notices for users of this release that have the following headings: * CMake version compatibility * Remove typedefs for PL_NC_GENERIC_POINTER and PL_GENERIC_POINTER * Fix typedef for PLINT_NC_VECTOR Those release notes also contain details of improvements for this release that have the following headings: * Bug fixes * Update PLplot to be consistent with modern free software * Rewrite the configuration of the INSTALL_RPATH target property * Rewrite the rpath configuration of traditionally built examples * Factor the PLplot export files * Introduce symbolic constants in our color-map routines * New implementation of the range checks for the validity of cmap0 and cmap1 user input * New implementation of the -bg command-line option * Implement ctest for the build system of the installed examples Enjoy this new version of PLplot!
