- Required Alien::Gnuplot version 1.031 (fixes a bug with terminal ID)
2.07 Codename: Winter (released 23-Feb-2017)

- Fix whitespace in the makefile.pl
- Fix issues 57 & 61 (freezing on newer windows releases); probably also fixes 56.
- fix issue 60 (problems with reset command making gnuplot5rc2 fail)
2.06 Codename: Fall released 1-Nov-2015
- Minor fixes to documentation
- Plots to output files now go to a sensible default location in the CWD,
rather than to gnuplot's stdout.
2.005 Codename: Spring released 6-May-2015
- Workaround for deprecation of cairo library in MacOS 10.5
- Correctly identify gnuplot 5.0
2.004 Codename: Dima released 20-Dec-2014
- fixed a bug that caused version sensing to fail for alpha-builds of gnuplot.
- Minor updates to plot option parsing (switching more options to accept hashes).
- Several minor bug fixes.
2.003 Codename: Bug fixes released 17-Sep-2014
- Added support for 'qt' terminal (thanks to Luis Mochan!)
- wxt is marked as an interactive terminal ("int=>1").
- ASCII handles NaN/binary correctly (works around gnuplot's inability to parse "NaN")
- Curve options are not cumulative (except for "with") within a plot.
- Deprecation of gnuplot 4.4-4.5 is now more strident
2.002 Codename: Refinements
- removed (x|y|x2|y2|z|t)range curve options -- only plot options are supported for range spec.
(This removes some weird corner cases in argument parsing, and doesn't affect normal plotting).
- more permissive terminal option parsing -- omit terminal name to get the default terminal.
- Moved changes from POD to CHANGES file
2.001 Unknown Release Date Codename: Minor Fixes

- bad value support
- fixed a justify problem
