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