This version fixes numerous bugs, only some of which have been listed on the official errata page for 3.3.6; for more details follow the Release link on the new GMT web page (http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu). The main reason for increasing the minor version number is that GMT is now under CVS version control which will allow us to keep separate any bug-fixes to 3.4.x while continue to develop in 3.5. While mostly dealing with bugfixes, a few new options have been added to some programs: 1. grdvector has a new option (-Sf) to plot fixed length vectors. 2. minmax has a new option (-D) to shift the longitude discontinuity to the Dateline [Default is Greenwich]. 3. surface will now give an error if more than one input file is given. Previously it would just process the last file only without warnings. 4. grdcontour -A[...]t will now draw transparent label boxes (thanks to Kaj Jancke.) 5. xyz2grd can now handle multiple input files (except when -S is used). 6. DEGREE_FORMAT has 6 new options for degree and decimal minute formatting. Also, to avoid UNIX namespace conflicts we provide a wrapper script called GMT which may be installed in /usr/bin (or some other standard path). By prefacing any GMT command with "GMT " it can start commands from directories not in your path. At the moment, this will benefit those who are using the Seismic Unix package which contains a pstext tool. To ensure you get the GMT pstext, you can run GMT pstext -R -J ... Likewise, a GMT man page may be installed in /usr/man. Sincerely, Paul Wessel Walter H. F.
