The macOS (ARM and Intel; fully self-contained) binaries are available in
the usual location:
https://csml-wiki.northwestern.edu/index.php/Binary_versions_of_Gnuplot_for=
_macOS

I compiled the ARM version on a new Mac, so let me know if you encounter
any issues. Compared to earlier versions, I now also included the WebP
terminal.

 to everyone<br>
who tested the pre-release package.<br>
<br>
There is nothing very exciting in this release, but it does include a few<b=

minor features back-ported from the development version:<br>
<br>
=E2=80=A2 In previous gnuplot versions all 3D polygons, objects, and filled=
 areas shared<br>
=C2=A0 a single border color and linewidth taken from &quot;set pm3d&quot;.=
<br>
=C2=A0 This limitation is now removed; border properties can be specified p=
er-plot or<br>
=C2=A0 per-object. This change affects any scripts that expected &quot;set =
pm3d&quot; to affect<br>
=C2=A0 the borders of 3D polygons and boxes.<br>
<br>
=E2=80=A2 splot ... &quot;with contourfill at base&quot;=C2=A0 =C2=A0(&quot=
;at base&quot; is new)<br>
<br>
=E2=80=A2 Input data to plot and splot can be filtered through a conditiona=
l expression<br>
=C2=A0 outside the &quot;using&quot; section.=C2=A0 For example:<br>
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 plot DATA using 2:3 with boxes if (stringcolumn(1) eq =
&quot;ABC&quot;)<br>
<br>
=E2=80=A2 New command &quot;save changes&quot; is equivalent to the old con=
tributed external script<br>
=C2=A0 gpsavediff. This command saves only the program settings, variables,=
 and<br>
=C2=A0 functions that distinguish the current state from the program state =
at the start<br>
=C2=A0 of the current gnuplot session.<br>
<br>
