Changes in 1.6:

• User defined constants, functions or external Python imports can be defined for use when evaluating expressions.
• Import descriptor is much more tolerant of syntax, e.g. "x,+- y,+,-" can now be specified as "x +- y + -".
• New SVG export (PyQt >= 4.6). Supports clipping and exports text as paths for full WYSIWYG.
• Dataset names can now contain any character except "`". Names containing non-alphanumeric characters can be quoted in expressions `like so`*1.23
• Widget names can contain any character except "/"
• A transparency dataset can be provided to specify the per-pixel transparency of the image widget.
• A polygon widget has been added.
• There is a new option to place axis ticks outside the plot (outer ticks setting on axis widget)
• Several new line styles have been added.
• Several new plotting markers have been added.
• The capture dialog can optionally retain the last N values captured.

Minor changes:

• Use of flat cap line style for plotting error bars for exactness.
• Add fixes for saving imported unicode text.
• Fix image colors for big endian systems (e.g. Mac PPC).
• Add boxfill error bar style, plotting errors as filled boxes.
• Positive and negative error bars are forced to have the correct sign.
