+gnuplot (4.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ * the new 4.0-release features several changes. Most notably the syntax
+ of the "set"-command changed:
+
+ "set no<something>" changed to "unset <something>"
+ ("unset grid" instead of "set nogrid")
+
+ "set <something> <style>" changed to "set style <something> <options>"
+ ("set style data lines" instead of "set data style lines")
+
+ The old syntax is still accepted but should not be used anymore as it
+ will cease to be supported in future verions of gnuplot. Beware! As
+ this version saves with the new syntax the resulting scripts cannot be
+ used with versions < 4.0!
+
+ The new features of gnuplot 4.0 include:
+
+ - mouse support in X11-output (see "help mouse input" or press "h" in
+ the output-window for details)
+ - new plot style "pm3d" for splot to plot scalar data as colormaps
+ - new terminal-types (e.g. svg, epslatex)
+
+ See "help new-features" for the full list.
+
+ * the Debian-packaging changed as well: gnuplot is now split into 4
+ packages to allow for greater flexibility and to save resources on low
+ end systems:
+
+ gnuplot depends on gnuplot-nox and gnuplot-x11 so that the transition
+ is smooth
+
+ gnuplot-nox contains the main gnuplot program but not the program for
+ X11-output, all other terminal drivers still work
+
+ gnuplot-x11 has to be installed for X11-output to work
+
+ gnuplot-doc contains the diskspace-intensive part of the
+ gnuplot-documentation, e.g. the tutorial and the
+ PostScript-manual
+
+ * svgalib-support was dropped in the packages. See README.Debian for the
+ reasoning
