I will try to collect useful programs to be part of the next distribution. The bug fixes have settled down pretty well now, so version 1.4 is pretty much what 1.3 was supposed to be. The Mac and Windows ports use the 1.4 patches, so the easiest thing was to bump the version number to 1.4 when these were released, so that the version number 1.4 means the same thing on any platform. It is still unclear what role an interpreter like Yorick will play in parallel processing environments, so this is very experimental. Rotated text and escapes for symbols, super, and subscripts, filled contour plots, user definable polymarker shapes.
Major bug fixes to X graphics error and color handling.
The rlterm terminal emulation program is part of the yorick distribution. This is for people who want to run yorick in an xterm window and want GNU readline functionality.
