1 This version of gnuplot represents the work of many people. For a more
2 complete list read the RCS log on the top of makefile.unx. This version
3 originally was centered on Jos Van Woude's probability functions,
4 Don Tabor's discrete contour levels and Rob Cunningham's binary file
5 IO capability. It has grown tremendously. Russell Lang and Maurice
6 Castro added MS-Windows capability and much more. Roger Fearick
7 added OS/2 capabilility. Alexander Lehmann and Hans-Edgar Koechling
8 greatly improved Atari support. (There are also an OS-9 and PC-9801 versions
9 of 3.2 and a Mac version of 3.0 and a multiple plot on a page mod
10 which were not integrated into this release.) Eric Youngdale replaced the
11 explicit function hidden line removal routines with a more general
12 implicit bitmap (which requires more memory). Gershon Elber fixed
13 many 3D bugs and added the "dgrid3d" option which takes allows
14 scattered data to be contoured. Ed Kubaitis reworked the X11 support.
15 In addition, many more devices are now provided. We have
16 always added device drivers because we have no way to debug most of
17 them and only by including them into the package we obtain feedback.
19 In addition, we have begun a contrib subdirectory which contains
20 external library, programs, and mods which help in the use of
21 Gnuplot. Many of the diffs are now out of date and will take
22 some work to implement.
