Hi,

thanks for pointing this out. I don't really understand the rationale for
it with -done, though. Wasn't my original mail sent as an attachment
to the notification?  The bug report, particularly

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=231730;msg=11

would indicate so. Furthermore, the Developer's Reference (section 5.8.2)
isn't IMO very clear on this either. Is it documented somewhere else?

Hm. I think the number of ticks in 'Number of submissions' can be solved
with 'max_y_ticks', as I mentioned in the previous mail. The 'precision'
variable can be used to get rid of the .000 labels.

As for the colors, the change is due to the fix for #172140, which
increased the number of available datasets and as a side-effect changed
the colors of the original 63 as well - apparently not for the better :(

I'll fix this so that the first datasets have their original colors.
Expect an update hopefully tomorrow.

Please tell me if there are any further issues.

Cheers,
