  Update copyright year to 2008.

  Updates to Part III, Developer's Guide for changes in internal functions used for text handling and margin/scale processing. Updated figure showing the plot layout.

  Added new chapter to Developer's Guide on the callbacks feature, and added documentation of the 3 public functions used with callbacks to the Function Reference. The text is based on the `Callbacks` file which was included with PHPlot-5.0.4 (and will removed in the next release).

2006-12-01

  Released updated version of the manual to correspond to PHPlot-5.0rc3. Documented new Y data labels for bar charts and line/point suppression. Add a note on how to get borderless, unshaded bars (needed due to a recent bug fix).

  Updates were applied to the installation section to match the README included with 5.0rc3. Minimum PHP level corrected to 4.3.0, and noted that PHP 5 works, as this has now been tested. Deleted note about included examples and documentation; these have been removed from the release.

  Three examples which use random data where changed to use a fixed seed, so the results are repeatable.

  A new example was added, showing a bar chart with data labels.
