<h2>Version 2.02 - Jan 11, '02</h2>
40
<li> <a href="clickmap.html">HTML server-side imagemap support</a> has been added.
43
<li> The data parsing code has been rewritten, and now allows situations that
44
weren't allowed before,
45
such as blank fields (tab or .csv formats), and variable number of fields per row.
46
The <a href="dataformat.html">dataformat documentation</a> has also been improved.
49
<li> new attribute - <a href="getdata.html">proc getdata</a> - <tt>nfields</tt> - Controls
50
the expected number of fields per record.
53
<li> new attribute - <a href="getdata.html">proc getdata</a> - <tt>fieldnamerows</tt> -
54
like <tt>fieldnames</tt> but allows data field names to be given one per line.
57
<li> modified attribute - <a href="getdata.html">proc getdata</a> - <tt>delim</tt> -
58
There is now a distinction between
59
whitespace delimitation with quoted strings (<tt>spacequoted</tt>) and
60
pure whitespace delimitation (<tt>whitespace</tt>).
61
<tt>whitespace</tt> is faster, but the default remains <tt>spacequoted</tt>
62
(<tt>space</tt> for short) so that existing scripts don't break.
63
<a href="dataformat.html">More info</a>.
66
<li> new attribute - <a href="lineplot.html">proc lineplot</a> - <tt>gapmissing</tt> - allows missing data
67
points to cause a gap in the curve. Similar parameter added to <b>lines</b> and <b>chron</b> prefabs.
71
<li> new attribute - <a href="scatterplot.html">proc scatterplot</a> - <tt>clustermethod</tt> -
72
control how duplicate points will be clustered.
76
<li> new attribute - <a href="scatterplot.html">proc scatterplot</a> - <tt>symfield</tt> and <tt>symrangefield</tt> -
77
allows symbol shape, color, etc. to be controlled by a data field.
81
<li> new attribute - <a href="scatterplot.html">proc scatterplot</a> - <tt>dupsleg</tt>
82
allows symbol shape, color, etc. to be controlled by degree of duplicity
86
<li> <a href="../doc/prefabs.html">prefabs</a> - added <tt> rectangle </tt> as a standard parameter.
87
It controls plotting area size (and location, if rendering in paginated postscript).
91
<li> <a href="../doc/prefab_lines.html">lines prefab</a> - changed the way that
92
the <tt> fill </tt> parameter works. Previously
93
it had applied to all curves and line color was used. Now it is specified
94
as a color, and separately for each curve (using fill2, fill3, and fill4).
95
<b>Note: this will break any existing applications that use
96
the lines prefab to render multiple filled curves</b>.
100
<li> The directory for <a href="../doc/prefabs.html">prefab</a> files can now be
101
hard-coded at build time, settable in the Makefile. If this is done then users
102
don't need the PLOTICUS_PREFABS environment variable to be set.
103
This capability is not available on win32 builds.
107
<li> a new prefab called <a href="prefab_draw.html">draw</a> has been added.
108
It interprets ploticus draw commands.
112
<li> some new <a href="functions.html">functions</a>, including $numgroup() and $dategroup()
113
which are useful in grouping a set of numbers or dates into bins.
117
<li> the internal name lookup scheme for function names has been changed, and is now a
118
little more efficient.
121
<li> fixed bug: <a href="bars.html">proc bars</a> - stacked bars are drawn incorrectly when minima is non-zero.
122
Eg. stacked vertical bars are incorrect if the plotting area Y min is non-zero.
125
<li> fixed bug: <a href="bars.html">proc bars</a> - stacked bars - clobber bug causing core dump on linux.
128
<li> fixed bug: datetime scaling - floating point rounding problem. Came to light when
129
user tried to autorange on a datetime field and was getting a minima time of 06:59
130
when it should have been 07:00.
133
<li> increased the size of file pathname variables from 127 to 255 and doing length checking
134
on script file and output file name
139
<h2>Version: 2.01 (16 Nov '01)</h2>
140
<font size=+1>New features:</font>
142
<li> <a href="svg.html">SVG</a> capabilities. The driver was written by Bill Traill.
145
<li> The Makefile has been reworked. Before building ploticus you edit the
146
Makefile and follow a simple 3-step procedure. There are more build variations than before.
149
<li> Source code can now be compiled on win32 using mingW and maybe other compilers.
150
<a href="../doc/nonunix.html">More info.</a>
153
<li> postscript - ISO Latin1 encoding added, so that European characters may be produced
154
in postscript exactly like they are in the other environments (ascii 128-255).
157
<li> Created graphic files are automatically chmod'ed to mode 644.
159
<font size=+1>Bug fixes:</font>
161
<li> Some code problems related to the new CGI functionality have been cleaned up.
162
These may have caused problems on some platforms.
165
<li> proc getdata filter - data field names within proc getdata filter statements were
169
<li> dates - dates earlier than 1977 causing problems with autorange and
170
probably in other areas. This has been fixed to handle dates back to Jan 1 1800.
173
<li> general - most command line args including var=value pairs were being retained in
174
a 200 character buffer, a problem when command lines are longer. Fixed.
177
<li> proc bars - problems with bar labeling when select is used; also clustering should work
178
with segment bars. Fixed.
184
<h2>Version: 2.00 (18 Sep '01)</h2>
186
This major release introduces
187
<a href="prefabs.html">prefabs</a> for creating standard types of plots
188
directly from the command line,
189
<a href="cgi.html">CGI mode</a>,
190
and optional JPEG, WBMP, and FreeType2 support.
191
The script interpreter code has been completely replaced;
192
a general clean-up pass was applied to all code.
195
Specific new features:
198
<li><a href="prefabs.html">Prefabs</a>
201
<li><a href="cgi.html">CGI mode</a>
204
<li> Optional JPEG, WBMP, and <a href="fonts.html">FreeType2</a> support, however you must link to
205
your own copy of GD library version 1.84
206
or higher when you build ploticus, and have the other required libs.
207
See the Makefile for more info. Thanks to Michael Tonkin for getting the ball rolling on this.
208
<a href="../gallery/stock.jpeg">Here's an example that uses a TrueType sans serif font</a>.
211
<li> A new script interpreter.
212
New <a href="scripts.html#directives">flow of control operators</a> including:
213
<tt> #elseif #else #for #while #setifnotgiven #call #write #shell</tt>, etc.
214
Also, increased <a href="limits.html">capacities</a> for data fields and variables (250 chars)
215
and script input lines (3000).
216
<b>The new interpreter involves some <a href="changes20.html">script syntax changes
217
that may cause existing scripts to break</a> in some cases.</b>
221
General code clean-up and efficiency improvements
222
(thanks for the suggestions.. who wrote that code, anyway?!).
225
<li> <a href="sql.html">#sql</a>, a new directive for retrieving data directly from an SQL database.
226
This is currently under development,
227
and user-contributed client interfaces to DBMSs such as MySQL and Oracle would be welcome
228
(the code is in dbinterface.c)
230
<font size=+1>A number of minor improvements and bug fixes are also present:</font>
232
<li> Added: proc areadef <a href="autorange.html">autorange</a> - new subattributes
233
<tt>selectrows</tt> (for selecting rows to be considered when
234
scanning for min and max) and <tt>combomode</tt> (to allow correct finding
235
of min and max for situations like error bars and stacked bars).
236
<li> Added: proc areadef <a href="autorange.html">autorange</a> - now sets variables
237
DATAXMIN, DATAXMAX, DATAYMIN, and DATAYMAX - the actual minima and maxima of data field.
238
<li> Added: <a href="axis.html">proc axis</a> - <tt>stubevery</tt> attribute
239
<li> Added: <a href="getdata.html">proc getdata</a> - <tt>pathname</tt> attribute, to specify
240
data file name directly without involving cat(1)

245
or in a <a href="../doc/config.html">config file</a>.
246
<li> Added: resource utilization (cpu time and size of created disk files) now can be controlled.
247
Default upper limits are 10 cpu seconds and 5,000,000 bytes.

250
<li> Changed: proc axis - minor changes to avoid orphan date stubs and improper year placement (autoyears)
251
<li> Fixed bug: proc axis - when producing stubs running from negative to positive zero is displayed
252
as a very tiny non-zero value such as 5.2579e-17 due to rounding error.
253
<li> Fixed bug: proc getdata - buffer overflow when 'filter' is used with data records longer than 254 chars,
254
causing garbage result or instability.
255
<li> Fixed bug: proc legend - legend entry text could not be adjusted using textdetails \fCadjust=\fR
256
<li> Fixed bug: proc bars - <tt>select</tt> omits bars but not labels. Thanks to Dan Tsafrir for finding this one.

<h2>Ploticus is 2 years old - 25 Aug '01</h2>
265
<h2>Ploticus version 1.41: 18 Jun '01</h2>
267
<li> Ploticus now covered under <a href="Copyright.html"><img src="../doc/gpl.gif" border=0></a>.
269
<li> proc bars - additional (diagonal) cross hatching available as an accessory (see <a href="../doc/Download.html">d
271
<li> Fixed bug: colored background not completely filling the result window when scale
274
<li> Fixed scripts in test suite:
275
The change in default size (version 1.40) sometimes caused
276
general layout problems with graphics that were layed out with an 8.5" x 11"
277
default size in mind. The solution for these scripts is to add a #proc page and
278
specify <tt>pagesize: 8.5 11</tt>.
279
Some of the scripts in the test suite had such problems and are now fixed.
281
<li> Fixed bug: EPS bounding box incorrect for 1) pltab output and 2) pl where result
282
draws into negative absolute coordinate space.
284
<li> Fixed bug: proc areadef xautorange/yautorange not working correctly in some cases
285
when a nearest= value is specified. This bug was apparently introduced in 1.40.
287
<li> Fixed bug: proc lineplot - accum option choking when non-numeric data encountered.
289
<li> Fixed bug: proc rangebar - negative barloc values not working.
291
<li> Added: proc areadef - autorange datafield may now be a comma-delimited list of dfields
292
so that multiple data fields are considered when determining the axis min and max.
294
<li> Changed: scaletypes - times hh:mm:ss and mm:ss - validity checking relaxed
295
slightly to allow degenerate values such as 0:4:9
297
<li> Fixed bug: pltab - incorrect interaction between #font and sectionheadings
299
<li> Fixed bug: proc rangebar - textdetails controls N= label but not missing label
301
<li> Fixed bug: pltab - creates 8.5 x 11 inch gif, png regardless of result size
303
<li> Fixed bug: axis - line grid and gridblock starting point incorrect in X
305
<li> Fixed bug: axis - colors incorrect when specified in certain combinations for tics, stubs, grid

<h2><a href="../doc/Faq.html">FAQ</a> Sept 29 '00</b> Expanded and updated.</h2>
394
Recently added questions are denoted as <b>NEW</b>.
395
Now includes some discussion of performance issues near the end of the document.
399
<h2>Version 1.39: Sept 29 '00</h2>
401
<li>Changed - proc transform renamed as proc processdata ('transform' still works)
402
<li>Changed - script syntax - references to undeclared @variables are now left alone.
403
Formerly they had resulted in syntax errors.
404
<li>Added - proc areadef - autorange - if nearest= is omitted a reasonable default will be used
405
for numeric data. Formerly it defaulted to exact min and max, which was usually not desirable.
406
It is now possible to say nearest=exact to get exact min and max, should that be wanted.
407
<li>Added - proc areadef - categories - a new attribute called 'catcompmethod', to control the
408
details of how category comparisons are done.
409
<li>Added - proc areadef - now sets variables XMIN, XMAX, YMIN, and YMAX
410
<li>Fixed bug - proc areadef - autorange - problems with negative numbers;
411
<li>Added - proc axis - 'stubs increment' with no following value gives a reasonable default increment.
412
So does 'stubs inc 0'.
413
<li>Added - proc bars - barwidthfield and bwfscale for data-driven bar widths
414
<li>Added - proc datesettings - several new options for omitting weekends
415
<li>Fixed bug - proc getdata - choking on long path names. Increased sizes of many buffers
417
<li>Fixed bug - proc getdata field names - a name beginning with a number such as 16kHz was being interpreted
418
as an integer field number.
419
<li>Added - proc processdata - new actions 'breaks' to do break processing on data sets, and related
421
<li>Added - proc rangebar - when using meanmode, plotfields may now be used for getting a mean, standard
422
deviation, and optionally an N value.
423
<li>Changed - proc rangebar - variable NVALUES is now always set, even if nothing was plotted (it will be zero in this case).
424
<li>Added - proc rangebar - new attributes showbriefstats, showstatsfile, briefstatstag to make a
425
file holding computed statistical info that can be used by other programs
426
<li>Added - proc rangebar - allow 'none' for outliernearsym and outlierfarsym, for when displaying
427
outliers using only labels or line segments.
428
<li>Added - proc rangebar - a new attribute called 'skipmed', to omit median and percentiles calculation
429
when only means and standard deviations are needed (a performance consideration).
430
<li>Fixed bug - proc rangesweep - bug involving the use of 'select'
431
<li>Added - new function - $dataitem(), to access a single data item from the current data set by row
433
<li>Added - command line / proc page - the options -croprel and -crop
434
<li>Changed - ploticus temp file naming now uses shorter names
435
<li>Added - user-contributed RPM spec file. See the Download page under Accessories.
436
<li>Changed - makefile & build - copied gd_io.h to the gd16 subdirectory for successful solaris 'make' build
437
<li>Added - MP/ix added to Makefile
438
<li>Changed - gallery example EPS or Postscript files will no longer be stored on the web site, except for the pltab examples.
439
<li>Changed - ploticus manual in postscript form will no longer be maintained or distributed.
443
<h2>Ploticus is one year old: Aug 25 '00</h2>
446
<h2>Version 1.38: Jun 9 '00</h2>
448
<li>It is now possible to set the directory used for temp files, using a new
449
config attribute tmpdir.
450
<li>under cygwin, problems have been reported with pltab writing postscript to standard output.
451
Workaround is to use pltab -o
454
<b>Version 1.37: May 24 '00</b>
455
<li>Added new proc - proc datesettings
456
<li>Added - an option to omit weekends with date or datetime scaling, via proc datesettings
457
<li>Improved - numeric data in scientific format e.g. 4.335e12 now supported
458
<li>Improved - #declare and #musthave now can take comma-delimited lists of variable names
459
<li>Fixed bug - proc bars, error bars not positioned correctly w/ clustering
460
<li>Fixed bug - proc rangebar, 1.5iqr mode, incorrect upper tail length
461
<li>Fixed bug - proc rangebar, zero length tail should not be drawn at all

472
<li>Improved - proc transform - numbernotation may be applied to TOTALS
473
<li>Fixed bug - proc rangebar - 1.5iqr tails/outliers were incorrect for degenerate cases (small N)
474
<li>Added a new function called $fieldname()
475
<li>Improved - proc tabulate now allows NO ordering
476
<li>Note: under cygwin, the directory /usr/tmp must exist and be writable by everybody.
477
<li>Withdrawn - proc pie - lower edge of pie boundary is "fuzzy". A gd rounding error?
481
<h2>Version 1.35: Mar 1 '00</h2>
483
<li>Fixed bug - numbernotation - spacer chars being added within leading blank zones in stubs
