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 Many of the diffs are now out of date and will take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