6-10-2010 – W32 port of nPlot-0.4.9 finally released!

All problems with Windows build are finally resolved; for a list of new features compared to 0.4.8-r3, see previous news item for 0.4.9 source and GNU/Linux release.

21-09-2009 – nPlot 0.4.9 released

After over a year of development, I'm pleased to announce release of nPlot 0.4.9.

Changes:

  • Switched to libxml for loading/saving session files
  • Preliminary plugin support
  • Partial migration to GNU gettext
  • Ability to use various data types; expandable through plugins
  • Fixed saving and loading zeroline state

Again, please note, that project files saved with older versions will not work with this one.

To avoid any problems, binary packages (.deb and .rpm) are statically linked with cairo 1.6.4 and Qt 4.3.4. As usual, Windows package will be available later.

Changes:

  • New build system
  • Added ability do use row index in plots (RFE:1898579)

  • Chart can be now scaled with middle mouse button

Important: Due to modifications in the architecture, projects saved with previous versions may not work properly with new version.
