There are some small differences between 4.0 and 4.2 version,
but I don't see why we should use old version.

However, now the newest version exists, gnuplot-4.4 (see
ftp://ftp.linux-ink.ru/pub/SLCE/5rolling/testing/{SRPMS,i386}/gnuplot/*.rpm).
Some bugs are fixed, some terminals are added,
some new features are released. Why we have to wait a while
before using this version? A few useful applications
use gnuplot as graphical tool, for example octave, maxima etc.
Gnuplot tends to fit these applications (wxwidget etc.)
and we must use newest gnuplot version.
