A new Dislin distribution for Ruby 1.9 and Windows is available in the file
dl_10_rb.zip. The extension module is compiled with the MinGW port of gcc
and linked with the Dislin library for MinGW. Plotting extensions for the
programming language Ruby are also added to the 32- and 64-bit Linux
distributions of Dislin.

Dislin version 10.2 is released.
Here is a brief summary of the new Dislin features since version 10.1.
The most of the features were already added by minor patch releases.
- The new routine CURV4D plots 3-D symbols with different colours
calculated from a colour scale.
- The routine LEGTYP defines whether legend lines are plotted in vertical
or horizontal direction.
- The added routine TRIFLC plots triangles with interpolated colours.
- TR3AXS is a new 3-D base transformation routine for a rotation about
an arbitrary axis.
- WGSEP can also draw separators in popup menus if the ID of a popop
menu is passed to WGSEP.
- GWGSIZ is a new routine that returns the size of widgets in pixels.
- Frames around draw widgets may be suppressed with the option
SWGTYP ('OFF', 'FRAME').
- The editability of text widgets can be disabled with the option
SWGOPT ('NOEDIT', 'TEXT').
- Routines for changing widget attributes such as SWGTXT can also
be used for widgets with the attribute 'INVISIBLE'.
- The new option 'STRING' is added to SWGTYP for the class 'POPUP' to
connect a popup widget directly with a callback routine.
- The resizing of the main widget can be disabled with the option
'NORESIZE' in SWGTYP for the class 'MAIN'.
- The latest version 2.1.1 of the GSHHS map coordinates is supported.
- The Windows distributions for Perl and Python support now multiple
versions of Perl and Python, so that extra distributions for certain
versions are obsolete and deleted.
- Support for Absoft Fortran is added to the standard Linux
distribution of Dislin and tested with the current Absoft Fortran
compilers. Thanks to Absoft for the licenses.
The special Dislin distributions for Absoft Fortran
are no longer necessary and removed from the server.
- Some Dislin distributions for older systems such as FreeBSD 5.4 and
6.0 and Linux on Sparc processors are no longer supported.
