I've made the production release release for June, which includes some
really nice features I've wanted to do for a while.  First, the "script
context" which gives meaning to the symbol "dom" in scripts and contains
the target for the "plot" command has always been poorly implemented. 
In the early days when I was initially playing with Jython, there would
be only one Autoplot so there was only one script context.  Things
evolved and people often have several windows running, and because of
this you will see the "scripts can only be run in one window" dialog. 
That's annoying, but this causes other problems, limiting batch
processing of plots, and restricting server applications to only
servicing one client at a time.  I'm very happy to say that I had a
quiet week where I could finally fix this, and now we won't see the
dialog and we can fully utilize multi-core processors, allowing much
faster batch processing.

A second fun project is that I finally implement Github filesystem
support using Github's API, so completions on the github filesystems
will work properly now.  I'll work on supporting Gitlab soon.  There's
also fun new things like entering a readme.md will show the contents of
the readme file, encouraging people to read the documentation provided.

Last, the Autoplot source code is finally at Github, in
https://github.com/autoplot/autoplot.  Thanks to Chris at Iowa for
showing me that the SVN history could be preserved.  Soon I'll try to
move the bug and rfe tickets over, too.  Thanks SourceForge for many
years of free services!

This is the production release at https://autoplot.org/latest/.

Hello again,

      I was made aware this morning of a problem with the v2025a_6
release, where one of the files needed for the scripting changes was
missing, and new installs (and maybe older installs) would get popups
complaining about the missing file ("autoplot2023.jy").  Thanks, Nick at
Minnesota, for pointing this out.

      This issue should be resolved and I've released v2025a_7, and
this version should be used instead.  You will also notice some other
minor bugfixes with the Run Batch dialog, such as the size of one of the
popups and also the run batch with multi-threads dialog is always used
now.  This is the "start autoplot" link on autoplot.org, which goes to
https://autoplot.org/latest/.  Please do not use v2025a_6.
