Changes for version 1.040 - 2023-02-23
- Switch to using Alien::Build / alienfile to check and install Gnuplot.
- Alien::Gnuplot is now a subclass of Alien::Base.
- Remove interactive installation option for using system package manager. The build now gives hints on what command to run instead.
- Add check for broken Gnuplot pipe IPC on Windows for versions in the exclusive range ( 5.2.8, 5.4.6 ). See <https://github.com/PDLPorters/PDL-Graphics-Gnuplot/issues/79> for more information.
- Can now download then build Gnuplot from source on non-MSWin32 platforms and download then install the pre-built Gnuplot binaries on MSWin32. GH#2.
- API change: load_gnuplot() is no longer called when loading the module with `require` or `do`. It is instead called by `import()`. This means that the usual `use Alien::Gnuplot;` should continue to work.
