-2008-12-08 Added mdehoon's native macosx backend from sf patch 2179017 - JDH
-
-2008-12-08 Removed the prints in the set_*style commands.  Return the
-           list of pprinted strings instead - JDH
-
-2008-12-08 Some of the changes Michael made to improve the output of
-           the property tables in the rest docs broke of made
-           difficult to use some of the interactive doc helpers, eg
-           setp and getp.  Having all the rest markup in the ipython
-           shell also confused the docstrings.  I added a new rc param
-           docstring.harcopy, to format the docstrings differently for
-           hardcopy and other use.  Ther ArtistInspector could use a
-           little refactoring now since there is duplication of effort
-           between the rest out put and the non-rest output - JDH
-
-2008-12-08 Updated spectral methods (psd, csd, etc.) to scale one-sided
-           densities by a factor of 2 and, optionally, scale all densities
-           by the sampling frequency.  This gives better MatLab
-           compatibility. -RM
-
-2008-12-08 Fixed alignment of ticks in colorbars. -MGD
-
-2008-12-07 drop the deprecated "new" keyword of np.histogram() for

-           ignores keywords arguments such as figsize, etc. -JJL
-
-2008-12-05 Fixed a bug that the handlelength of the new legend class
-           set too short when numpoints=1 -JJL
-

-
-2008-12-02 The transmuter classes in the patches.py are reorganized as
-           subclasses of the Style classes. A few more box and arrow
-           styles are added. -JJL
-
-2008-12-02 Fixed a bug in the new legend class that didn't allowed
-           a tuple of coordinate vlaues as loc. -JJL
-
-2008-12-02 Improve checks for external dependencies, using subprocess
-           (instead of deprecated popen*) and distutils (for version
-           checking) - DSD
-
-2008-11-30 Reimplementaion of the legend which supports baseline alignement,

-
-2008-11-11 Update the psd(), csd(), cohere(), and specgram() methods
-           of Axes and the csd() cohere(), and specgram() functions
-           in mlab to be in sync with the changes to psd().
-           In fact, under the hood, these all call the same core
-           to do computations. - RM
-
-2008-11-11 Add 'pad_to' and 'sides' parameters to mlab.psd() to
-           allow controlling of zero padding and returning of

-           must be set to True in matplotlibrc for this to work.  -
-           MGD
-
-2008-09-10 Add "filled" kwarg to Path.intersects_path and
-           Path.intersects_bbox. - MGD

-           (which does not handle NaNs or infs) will be turned off automatically
-           when infs or NaNs are present.  Also masked arrays are now converted
-           to arrays with NaNs for consistent handling of masks and NaNs
-            - MGD and EF

-           handling.  Amy users of add_observer/notify of the
-           cm.ScalarMappable should uae the
-           cm.ScalarMappable.callbacksSM CallbackRegistry instead. JDH

-2008-05-22 Added support for ReST-based doumentation using Sphinx.
-           Documents are located in doc/, and are broken up into
-           a users guide and an API reference. To build, run the
-           make.py files. Sphinx-0.4 is needed to build generate xml,
-           which will be useful for rendering equations with mathml,

-2007-11-13 All backends now support writing to a file-like object, not
-           just a regular file.  savefig() can be passed a file-like
-           object in place of a file path. - MGD
-
-2007-11-13 Improved the default backend selection at build time:
-           SVG -> Agg -> TkAgg -> WXAgg -> GTK -> GTKAgg. The last usable
-           backend in this progression will be chosen in the default
-           config file. If a backend is defined in setup.cfg, that will
-           be the default backend - DSD
-
-2007-11-13 Improved creation of default config files at build time for
-           traited config package - DSD
-
-2007-11-12 Exposed all the build options in setup.cfg. These options are
-           read into a dict called "options" by setupext.py. Also, added
-           "-mpl" tags to the version strings for packages provided by
-           matplotlib. Versions provided by mpl will be identified and
-           updated on subsequent installs - DSD
-
-2007-11-12 Added support for STIX fonts.  A new rcParam,
-           mathtext.fontset, can be used to choose between:
-
-           'cm':
-             The TeX/LaTeX Computer Modern fonts
-
-           'stix':
-             The STIX fonts (see stixfonts.org)
-
-           'stixsans':
-             The STIX fonts, using sans-serif glyphs by default
-
-           'custom':
-             A generic Unicode font, in which case the mathtext font
-             must be specified using mathtext.bf, mathtext.it,
-             mathtext.sf etc.
-
-           Added a new example, stix_fonts_demo.py to show how to access
-           different fonts and unusual symbols.
-
-           - MGD
-
-2007-11-12 Options to disable building backend extension modules moved
-           from setup.py to setup.cfg - DSD
-
-2007-11-09 Applied Martin Teichmann's patch 1828813: a QPainter is used in
-           paintEvent, which has to be destroyed using  the method end(). If
-           matplotlib raises an exception before the call to end - and it
-           does if you feed it with bad data - this method end() is never
-           called and Qt4 will start spitting error messages
-
-2007-11-09 Moved pyparsing back into matplotlib namespace. Don't use
-           system pyparsing, API is too variable from one release
-           to the next - DSD

-
-2007-10-29 TRANSFORMS REFACTORING
-
-           The primary goal of this refactoring was to make it easier
-           to extend matplotlib to support new kinds of projections.
-           This is primarily an internal improvement, and the possible
-           user-visible changes it allows are yet to come.
-
-           The transformation framework was completely rewritten in
-           Python (with Numpy).  This will make it easier to add news
-           kinds of transformations without writing C/C++ code.
-
-           Transforms are composed into a 'transform tree', made of
-           transforms whose value depends on other transforms (their
-           children).  When the contents of children change, their
-           parents are automatically updated to reflect those changes.
-           To do this an "invalidation" method is used: when children
-           change, all of their ancestors are marked as "invalid".
-           When the value of a transform is accessed at a later time,
-           its value is recomputed only if it is invalid, otherwise a
-           cached value may be used.  This prevents unnecessary
-           recomputations of transforms, and contributes to better
-           interactive performance.
-
-           The framework can be used for both affine and non-affine
-           transformations.  However, for speed, we want use the
-           backend renderers to perform affine transformations
-           whenever possible.  Therefore, it is possible to perform
-           just the affine or non-affine part of a transformation on a
-           set of data.  The affine is always assumed to occur after
-           the non-affine.  For any transform:
-
-                full transform == non-affine + affine
-
-           Much of the drawing has been refactored in terms of
-           compound paths.  Therefore, many methods have been removed
-           from the backend interface and replaced with a a handful to
-           draw compound paths.  This will make updating the backends
-           easier, since there is less to update.  It also should make
-           the backends more consistent in terms of functionality.
-
-           User visible changes:
-
-           - POLAR PLOTS: Polar plots are now interactively zoomable,
-             and the r-axis labels can be interactively rotated.
-             Straight line segments are now interpolated to follow the
-             curve of the r-axis.
-
-           - Non-rectangular clipping works in more backends and with
-             more types of objects.
-
-           - Sharing an axis across figures is now done in exactly
-             the same way as sharing an axis between two axes in the
-             same figure:
-
-                      fig1 = figure()
-                   fig2 = figure()
-
-                   ax1 = fig1.add_subplot(111)
-                   ax2 = fig2.add_subplot(111, sharex=ax1, sharey=ax1)
-
-           - linestyles now include steps-pre, steps-post and
-             steps-mid.  The old step still works and is equivalent to
-             step-pre.
-
-           - Multiple line styles may be provided to a collection.
-
-           See API_CHANGES for more low-level information about this
-           refactoring.
-
-2007-10-24 Added ax kwarg to Figure.colorbar and pyplot.colorbar - EF
-
-2007-10-19 Removed a gsave/grestore pair surrounding _draw_ps, which
-           was causing a loss graphics state info (see "EPS output
-           problem - scatter & edgecolors" on mpl-dev, 2007-10-29)
-           - DSD
-
-2007-10-15 Fixed a bug in patches.Ellipse that was broken for
-           aspect='auto'.  Scale free ellipses now work properly for
-           equal and auto on Agg and PS, and they fall back on a
-           polygonal approximation for nonlinear transformations until
-           we convince oursleves that the spline approximation holds
-           for nonlinear transformations. Added
-           unit/ellipse_compare.py to compare spline with vertex
-           approx for both aspects. JDH
-
-2007-10-05 remove generator expressions from texmanager and mpltraits.
-           generator expressions are not supported by python-2.3 - DSD

-           backends has been imported. - EF
-
-2007-09-30 Modified update* methods of Bbox and Interval so they
-           work with reversed axes.  Prior to this, trying to
-           set the ticks on a reversed axis failed with an
-           uninformative error message. - EF
-
-2007-09-30 Applied patches to axes3d to fix index error problem - EF
-
-2007-09-24 Applied Eike Welk's patch reported on mpl-dev on 2007-09-22

-2007-09-13 The usetex support in the pdf backend is more usable now,
-           so I am enabling it. - JKS

-2007-09-10 Made skiprows=1 the default on csv2rec - JDH
-
-2007-09-09 Split out the plotting part of pylab and put it in
-           pyplot.py; removed numerix from the remaining pylab.py,
-           which imports everything from pyplot.py.  The intention
-           is that apart from cleanups, the result of importing
-           from pylab is nearly unchanged, but there is the
-           new alternative of importing from pyplot to get
-           the state-engine graphics without all the numeric
-           functions.
-           Numpified examples; deleted two that were obsolete;
-           modified some to use pyplot. - EF

-2007-09-06 Refactored image saving code so that all GUI backends can
-           save most image types.  See FILETYPES for a matrix of
-           backends and their supported file types.
-           Backend canvases should no longer write their own print_figure()
-           method -- instead they should write a print_xxx method for
-           each filetype they can output and add an entry to their
-           class-scoped filetypes dictionary. - MGD

-            the fontManager.findfont method - EF
-
-2007-08-11 Numpification and cleanup of mlab.py and some examples - EF
-
-2007-08-06 Removed mathtext2
-
-2007-07-31 Refactoring of distutils scripts.
-           - Will not fail on the entire build if an optional Python
-             package (e.g. Tkinter) is installed but its development
-             headers are not (e.g. tk-devel).  Instead, it will
-             continue to build all other extensions.
-           - Provide an overview at the top of the output to display
-             what dependencies and their versions were found, and (by
-             extension) what will be built.
-           - Use pkg-config, when available, to find freetype2, since
-             this was broken on Mac OS-X when using MacPorts in a non-
-             standard location.
-
-2007-07-30 Reorganized configuration code to work with traited config
-           objects. The new config system is located in the
-           matplotlib.config package, but it is disabled by default.
-           To enable it, set NEWCONFIG=True in matplotlib.__init__.py.
-           The new configuration system will still use the old
-           matplotlibrc files by default. To switch to the experimental,
-           traited configuration, set USE_TRAITED_CONFIG=True in
-           config.__init__.py.
-
-2007-07-29 Changed default pcolor shading to flat; added aliases
-           to make collection kwargs agree with setter names, so
-           updating works; related minor cleanups.
-           Removed quiver_classic, scatter_classic, pcolor_classic. - EF
-
-2007-07-26 Major rewrite of mathtext.py, using the TeX box layout model.
-
-           There is one (known) backward incompatible change.  The
-           font commands (\cal, \rm, \it, \tt) now behave as TeX does:
-           they are in effect until the next font change command or
-           the end of the grouping.  Therefore uses of $\cal{R}$
-           should be changed to ${\cal R}$.  Alternatively, you may
-           use the new LaTeX-style font commands (\mathcal, \mathrm,
-           \mathit, \mathtt) which do affect the following group,
-           eg. $\mathcal{R}$.
-
-           Other new features include:
-
-           - Math may be interspersed with non-math text.  Any text
-             with an even number of $'s (non-escaped) will be sent to
-             the mathtext parser for layout.
-
-           - Sub/superscripts are less likely to accidentally overlap.
-
-           - Support for sub/superscripts in either order, eg. $x^i_j$
-             and $x_j^i$ are equivalent.
-
-           - Double sub/superscripts (eg. $x_i_j$) are considered
-             ambiguous and raise an exception.  Use braces to disambiguate.
-
-           - $\frac{x}{y}$ can be used for displaying fractions.
-
-           - $\sqrt[3]{x}$ can be used to display the radical symbol
-             with a root number and body.
-
-           - $\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)$ may be used to create
-             parentheses and other delimiters that automatically
-             resize to the height of their contents.
-
-           - Spacing around operators etc. is now generally more like
-             TeX.
-
-           - Added support (and fonts) for boldface (\bf) and
-             sans-serif (\sf) symbols.
-
-           - Log-like function name shortcuts are supported.  For
-             example, $\sin(x)$ may be used instead of ${\rm sin}(x)$
-
-           - Limited use of kerning for the easy case (same font)
-
-           Behind the scenes, the pyparsing.py module used for doing
-           the math parsing was updated to the latest stable version
-           (1.4.6).  A lot of duplicate code was refactored out of the
-           Font classes.

-2007-03-25 Fix masked array handling in quiver.py for numpy. (Numeric
-           and numarray support for masked arrays is broken in other

-
-2007-03-23 Made font_manager.py close opened files. - JKS
-
-2007-03-22 Made imshow default extent match matshow - EF
-
-2007-03-22 Some more niceties for xcorr -- a maxlags option, normed
-           now works for xcorr as well as axorr, usevlines is
-           supported, and a zero correlation hline is added.  See
-           examples/xcorr_demo.py.  Thanks Sameer for the patch.  -
-           JDH
-
-2007-03-21 Axes.vlines and Axes.hlines now create and returns a
-           LineCollection, not a list of lines.  This is much faster.
-           The kwarg signature has changed, so consult the docs.
-           Modified Axes.errorbar which uses vlines and hlines.  See
-           API_CHANGES; the return signature for these three functions

-           Fixes sf bug #1669506.
-
-2007-03-02 Add rc parameter pdf.inheritcolor, which disables all
-           color-setting operations in the pdf backend. The idea is
-           that you include the resulting file in another program and
-           set the colors (both stroke and fill color) there, so you
-           can use the same pdf file for e.g. a paper and a
-           presentation and have them in the surrounding color. You
-           will probably not want to draw figure and axis frames in
-           that case, since they would be filled in the same color. - JKS

-2007-02-26 Prevent building _wxagg.so with broken Mac OS X wxPython. - ADS

-2007-02-23 Require setuptools for Python 2.3 - ADS
-
-2007-02-22 WXAgg accelerator updates - KM
-           WXAgg's C++ accelerator has been fixed to use the correct wxBitmap
-           constructor.
-
-           The backend has been updated to use new wxPython functionality to
-           provide fast blit() animation without the C++ accelerator.  This
-           requires wxPython 2.8 or later.  Previous versions of wxPython can
-           use the C++ acclerator or the old pure Python routines.
-
-           setup.py no longer builds the C++ accelerator when wxPython >= 2.8
-           is present.
-
-           The blit() method is now faster regardless of which agg/wxPython
-           conversion routines are used.
-
-2007-02-21 Applied the PDF backend patch by Nicolas Grilly.
-           This impacts several files and directories in matplotlib:
-
-           - Created the directory lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/pdfcorefonts,
-             holding AFM files for the 14 PDF core fonts. These fonts are
-             embedded in every PDF viewing application.
-
-           - setup.py: Added the directory pdfcorefonts to package_data.
-
-           - lib/matplotlib/__init__.py: Added the default parameter
-             'pdf.use14corefonts'. When True, the PDF backend uses
-             only the 14 PDF core fonts.
-
-           - lib/matplotlib/afm.py: Added some keywords found in
-             recent AFM files. Added a little workaround to handle
-             Euro symbol.
-
-           - lib/matplotlib/fontmanager.py: Added support for the 14
-             PDF core fonts. These fonts have a dedicated cache (file
-             pdfcorefont.cache), not the same as for other AFM files
-             (file .afmfont.cache). Also cleaned comments to conform
-             to CODING_GUIDE.
-
-           - lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_pdf.py:
-             Added support for 14 PDF core fonts.
-             Fixed some issues with incorrect character widths and
-             encodings (works only for the most common encoding,
-             WinAnsiEncoding, defined by the official PDF Reference).
-             Removed parameter 'dpi' because it causes alignment issues.

-2007-02-12 Moved data files into lib/matplotlib so that setuptools'
-           develop mode works. Re-organized the mpl-data layout so
-           that this source structure is maintained in the
-           installation. (I.e. the 'fonts' and 'images'
-           sub-directories are maintained in site-packages.)  Suggest
-           removing site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data and
-           ~/.matplotlib/ttffont.cache before installing - ADS
-
-2007-02-07 Committed Rob Hetland's patch for qt4: remove
-           references to text()/latin1(), plus some improvements
-           to the toolbar layout - DSD

-===============================================================
-2007-02-06 Released 0.90.0 at revision 3003
-
-2007-01-22 Extended the new picker API to text, patches and patch
-           collections.  Added support for user customizable pick hit
-           testing and attribute tagging of the PickEvent - Details
-           and examples in examples/pick_event_demo.py - JDH
-
-2007-01-16 Begun work on a new pick API using the mpl event handling
-           frameowrk.  Artists will define their own pick method with
-           a configurable epsilon tolerance and return pick attrs.
-           All artists that meet the tolerance threshold will fire a
-           PickEvent with artist dependent attrs; eg, a Line2D can set
-           the indices attribute that shows the indices into the line
-           that are within epsilon of the pick point.  See
-           examples/pick_event_demo.py.  The implementation of pick
-           for the remaining Artists remains to be done, but the core
-           infrastructure at the level of event handling is in place
-           with a proof-of-concept implementation for Line2D - JDH
-
-2007-01-16 src/_image.cpp: update to use Py_ssize_t (for 64-bit systems).
-           Use return value of fread() to prevent warning messages - SC.
-
-2007-01-15 src/_image.cpp: combine buffer_argb32() and buffer_bgra32() into
-           a new method color_conv(format) - SC
-
-2007-01-14 backend_cairo.py: update draw_arc() so that
-           examples/arctest.py looks correct - SC
-
-2007-01-12 backend_cairo.py: enable clipping. Update draw_image() so that
-           examples/contour_demo.py looks correct - SC
-
-2007-01-12 backend_cairo.py: fix draw_image() so that examples/image_demo.py
-           now looks correct - SC
-
-2007-01-11 Added Axes.xcorr and Axes.acorr to plot the cross
-           correlation of x vs y or the autocorrelation of x.  pylab
-           wrappers also provided.  See examples/xcorr_demo.py - JDH
-
-2007-01-10 Added "Subplot.label_outer" method.  It will set the
-           visibility of the ticklabels so that yticklabels are only
-           visible in the first column and xticklabels are only
-           visible in the last row - JDH
-
-2007-01-02 Added additional kwarg documentation - JDH
-
-2006-12-28 Improved error message for nonpositive input to log
-           transform; added log kwarg to bar, barh, and hist,
-           and modified bar method to behave sensibly by default
-           when the ordinate has a log scale.  (This only works
-           if the log scale is set before or by the call to bar,
-           hence the utility of the log kwarg.) - EF
-
-2006-12-27 backend_cairo.py: update draw_image() and _draw_mathtext() to work
-           with numpy - SC
-
-2006-12-20 Fixed xpdf dependency check, which was failing on windows.
-           Removed ps2eps dependency check. - DSD
-
-2006-12-19 Added Tim Leslie's spectral patch - JDH
-
-2006-12-17 Added rc param 'axes.formatter.limits' to control
-          ...
