The msgbox function has changed significantly in 5.x and I propose an entry in

 - A new printing device is available, `"-ddumb"`, which produces ASCII
   art for plots.  This device is only available with the gnuplot toolkit.

+- The `msgbox` function has changed in two respects: the default windowstyle
+  is now nonmodal, the default interpreter for the message is now `tex`.
+  Both windowstyle and interpreter can be controlled by passing an option
+  struct argument.
