[Jprogramming] j807 release-a available

[Joey K Tuttle]

Eric,

I think Bo may be confused, as I was, when the starting the move to Release-a getting (the last line):

  'update' jpkg 'all'
Updating server catalog...
Local JAL information was last updated: 14 Jan 2019 09:08:52
Installed addons are up to date, 1 addon are not yet installed.
There is a newer version of the base library.

~~~~

Added feedback, I was poking at the nonavx install on my desktop (that I don't use very much). When I tried some plots, as in -

iMi7:bin jkt$ ja
   JVERSION

   load 'pacman'
   'update' jpkg ''
Updating server catalog...
Local JAL information was last updated: 16 Jan 2019 08:14:56
All available packages are installed and up to date.

   load 'plot'
   plot ?~9
NB. empty PDF displayed by Apple Preview

   'surface' plot +/~ 1 o. i: 6.28j99
|NaN error: mp
|   dat=.}:"1(y,.1)    mp Tfm
NB.  Ooops! 
   
The first plot of 9 random numbers produced a PDF in preview that was blank. When I tried Devon McCormick's favorite plot, I got the NaN error (and of course, no PDF)
