Release Notes date: 04-Jun-2015
This patchlevel 5.0.1 incremental release includes
==================================================
* NEW "set mono" (full command "set monochrome {linetype lt <line-properties>})
* NEW "set fit nolog" suppresses output to log file
* NEW sixel terminal supports RGB and palette colors, but only 16 at a time :-(
* NEW command "printerr" acts exactly like "print" but always outputs via stderr
* CHANGE autoconfigure of Qt5 support now looks for --variable=host_bins
* CHANGE reevaluate fill color for each polygon in data for "with filledcurves"
* CHANGE gstrptime(): always check validity of %y %Y %d %B %b input fields

NOTABLE NEW FEATURES IN VERSION 5.0.1
=====================================
Incremental releases 5.0.1, 5.0.2, etc are primarily intended to provide bug
fixes, but 5.0.1 also contains several adjustments resulting from feedback on
changes and new features in version 5. The most notable is addition of a new
command "set monochrome" that allows emulation of the terminal-specific "mono"
option that was lost in version 5. The new commands "set mono" and "set color"
switch between two parallel sets of default linetypes. Six monochrome
linetypes are pre-defined; these can be altered or new ones added using the
command "set monochrome linetype N <line-properties>". Although these do not
exactly duplicate those of any particular pre-version 5 terminal, approximate
backwards compatibility is provided by automatically switching to the
monochrome linetypes if the "mono" keyword is present in "set term".
I.e., "set term pdf mono" is equivalent to "set term pdf; set mono".
