- labels from vectors with special chars in their names need to be properly escaped
- labels generated by fits are broken
- empty labels not taken into account in plot dialog (needs one space)

- oxygen icons
- Various checks
- check change data file tool
- check remember last settings in various dialogs (data wizard, etc)
- default names (plugins, etc...) + automatic labels (top-label) sometimes disturbing

- scientific notation for extreme axis numbers
- Features
- redo automatic plot layout algorithm
- change scalar value directly in the scalar selection combobox
- as-you-type search in comboboxes (vector selection)
2.0.5: More polish and some new features (released May 21st 2012)
- Bug fixes
- PDF export vs PDFCreator (219845)
- many small bugfixes (see http://kst-plot.kde.org/files/Log_messages_2.0.4_to_2.0.5.txt)
- Various checks
- tab order
- Features
- view items have an option to scroll/zoom with the contents of the plot
- improve automatic plot layout algorithm
- option to have anti-aliased plots
- mouse wheel scrolls and zooms (261972)
- Adding a drag and drop capability (272510)
- data source should text box should handle ~/ as shortcut to $HOME
- legends should be wrapped to always fit inside their plot
- new datasource: Matlab .mat file reader (Matlab pretty much sucks at plotting, that'd be a pretty interesting move and there's a spec at http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/pdf_doc/matlab/matfile_format.pdf)
- beta of python-based, mathplotlib-alike scripting (Linux only for now)
2.0.6: Bugfix release (released July 27th 2012)
One new feature: an option to interpret a vector as EXCEL time
Other than that, quite a few bugfixes:
- Loading/saving
- When loading a kst file, prompt the user for an alternate if a datasource can't be found
- Save/use arrow head property defaults
- Don't invert Z order of viewItems which are direct children of the View
- Line and arrow dimensions were sometimes very far off
- Font and formatted text issues fixed
- Data import
- Data wizard fixes (spectrum format, speed improvements when there are many vectors,
- Properly handle missing data in custom-delimited ASCII to avoid mixing the vectors
- Large speedup (x10!) for ASCII with very many columns
- UI
- When leaving edit multiple mode, take the check boxes out of tristate mode
- Allow SVG and pixmap view objects to have adjustable aspect ratios
- Fix apply button in view item dialogs (including labels)
- Add a help window for label formatting (formatted text is quite powerful, but a bit hidden)
- Make sure the correct context menu is always shown
There was also quite a lot of work done on the compiling and packaging by Peter Kümmel. Hopefully this will help, even though python scripting is not yet available on Windows.
