A new version of gnuplot doesn't happen very often, and this one has an interesting added feature in terms of support for using braces in algorithms.
http://www.gnuplot.info/announce.4.6.0
Building gnuplot 4.6 is similar to building 4.4.4 and is pretty straightforward:
sudo apt-get install libgd2-xpm-dev checkinstall
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/latest/download?source=files
mv download\?source\=files gnuplot-4.6.tar.gz
tar -xvf gnuplot-4.6.tar.gz
cd gnuplot-4.6.0/
./configure --with-linux-vga
make
checkinstall -install=no
sudo rm /usr/local/share/info/dir -rf
sudo dpkg -i gnuplot_4.6.0-1_amd64.deb
You may get an error if trying to install on a system with a home-compiled version of octave (see below).
The problem with handling small numbers is not present in this version (http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/02/debian-testing-wheezy-64-bug-in-debian.html).
Error:
sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i gnuplot_4.6.0-1_amd64.deb
