Almost forgot :). There are some changes in the syntax. The most noticeable is
Old:
set nokey
New:
unset key
Currently (in 3.8k release), the old syntax still works, but issues a warning
gnuplot> set nokey
^
warning: deprecated syntax, use "unset"
From:
http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/docs/gnuplot.html#What_is_New_in_Version_4.0
<<<<
The preferred syntax to undo a command `set <something>` is now `unset <something>` rather than `set no<something>`. The older form has been deprecated. Version 4.0
continues to allow the older syntax, but such backwards compatibility may be lost in future versions.
Commands of the form `set <something> <style>` also are deprectated in favor of the more general form `set style <something> <options>`. Many more plot elements now have
style options of their own, including arrows, filled areas, lines, and points. There are also style settings for input data and formatting. Please see style, decimalsign,
and `set datafile`.
