plplot (5.15.0+dfsg2-3) unstable; urgency=medium

    The octave-plplot package is reintroduced, since SWIG v4.1
    officially supports Octave 6.0 to 6.4 (and, apparently, version 7
    also).

plplot (5.15.0+dfsg-16+gnat10) experimental; urgency=medium

    The Octave bindings are not built in this version of the package and
    the octave-plplot binary package has been dropped.  Version 6.0 of
    Octave is now in experimental and it does not work with SWIG 4.0.

    This issue has been reported upstream, both to the Octave maintainers
    and SWIG maintainers:

    + https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59422
    + https://github.com/swig/swig/issues/1893

    John Eaton, the lead Octave developer, has thoroughly explained why
    it should not be very easy to port SWIG to Octave 6.0.  William Fulton
    informed that the main contibutor to the Octave bindings in SWIG has
    stepped back.  Future Octave enhancements will need to come from
    Octave users of the SWIG module.
