+.. _whats-new:
+
+***************************
+What's new in matplotlib
+***************************
+
+.. _whats-new-0-98-4:
+
+What new in matplotlib 0.98.4
+==============================
+
+It's been four months since the last matplotlib release, and there are
+a lot of new features and bug-fixes
+
+.. _legend-refactor:
+
+Legend enhancements
+--------------------
+
+Jae-Joon has rewritten the legend class, and added support for
+multiple columns and rows, as well as fancy box drawing. See
+:ref:`pylab_examples-legend_demo3`.
+
+
+.. _fancy-annotations:
+
+Fancy annotations and arrows
+-----------------------------
+
+Jae-Joon has added lot's of support to annotations for drawing fancy
+boxes and connectors in annotations. See
+:ref:`pylab_examples-annotation_demo2` and
+:ref:`pylab_examples-fancyarrow_demo`.
+
+.. _psd-amplitude:
+
+psd amplitude scaling
+-------------------------
+
+Ryan May did a lot of work to rationalize the amplitude scaling of
+:func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.psd` and friends. See
+:ref:`pylab_examples-psd_demo2`. and :ref:`pylab_examples-psd_demo3`.
+The changes should increase `MATLAB™ <http://www.mathworks.com>`
+compatabililty and increase scaling options.
+
+.. _fill-between:
+
+Fill between
+------------------
+
+Added a :func:`~matplotlib.pyplot.fill_between` function to make it
+easier to do shaded region plots in the presence of masked data. See
+:ref:`pylab_examples-fill_between`.
+
+Lots more
+-----------
+
+Here are the 0.98.4 notes from the CHANGELOG::
+
+ Added mdehoon's native macosx backend from sf patch 2179017 - JDH
+
+ Removed the prints in the set_*style commands. Return the list of
+ pprinted strings instead - JDH
+
+ 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
+
+ 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
+
+ Fixed alignment of ticks in colorbars. -MGD
+
+ drop the deprecated "new" keyword of np.histogram() for numpy 1.2
+ or later. -JJL
+
+ Fixed a bug in svg backend that new_figure_manager() ignores
+ keywords arguments such as figsize, etc. -JJL
+
+ Fixed a bug that the handlelength of the new legend class set too
+ short when numpoints=1 -JJL
+
+ Added support for data with units (e.g. dates) to
+ Axes.fill_between. -RM
+
+ Added fancybox keyword to legend. Also applied some changes for
+ better look, including baseline adjustment of the multiline texts
+ so that it is center aligned. -JJL
+
+ 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
+
+ Fixed a bug in the new legend class that didn't allowed a tuple of
+ coordinate vlaues as loc. -JJL
+
+ Improve checks for external dependencies, using subprocess
+ (instead of deprecated popen*) and distutils (for version
+ checking) - DSD
+
+ Reimplementaion of the legend which supports baseline alignement,
+ multi-column, and expand mode. - JJL
+
+ Fixed histogram autoscaling bug when bins or range are given
+ explicitly (fixes Debian bug 503148) - MM
+
+ Added rcParam axes.unicode_minus which allows plain hypen for
+ minus when False - JDH
+
+ Added scatterpoints support in Legend. patch by Erik Tollerud -
+ JJL
+
+ Fix crash in log ticking. - MGD
+
+ Added static helper method BrokenHBarCollection.span_where and
+ Axes/pyplot method fill_between. See
+ examples/pylab/fill_between.py - JDH
+
+ Add x_isdata and y_isdata attributes to Artist instances, and use
+ them to determine whether either or both coordinates are used when
+ updating dataLim. This is used to fix autoscaling problems that
+ had been triggered by axhline, axhspan, axvline, axvspan. - EF
+
+ 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
+
+ Add 'pad_to' and 'sides' parameters to mlab.psd() to allow
+ controlling of zero padding and returning of negative frequency
+ components, respecitively. These are added in a way that does not
+ change the API. - RM
+
+ Fix handling of c kwarg by scatter; generalize is_string_like to
+ accept numpy and numpy.ma string array scalars. - RM and EF
+
+ Fix a possible EINTR problem in dviread, which might help when
+ saving pdf files from the qt backend. - JKS
+
+ Fix bug with zoom to rectangle and twin axes - MGD
+
+ Added Jae Joon's fancy arrow, box and annotation enhancements --
+ see examples/pylab_examples/annotation_demo2.py
+
+ Autoscaling is now supported with shared axes - EF
+
+ Fixed exception in dviread that happened with Minion - JKS
+
+ set_xlim, ylim now return a copy of the viewlim array to avoid
+ modify inplace surprises
+
+ Added image thumbnail generating function
+ matplotlib.image.thumbnail. See examples/misc/image_thumbnail.py
+ - JDH
+
+ Applied scatleg patch based on ideas and work by Erik Tollerud and
+ Jae-Joon Lee. - MM
+
+ Fixed bug in pdf backend: if you pass a file object for output
+ instead of a filename, e.g. in a wep app, we now flush the object
+ at the end. - JKS
+
+ Add path simplification support to paths with gaps. - EF
+
+ Fix problem with AFM files that don't specify the font's full name
+ or family name. - JKS
+
+ Added 'scilimits' kwarg to Axes.ticklabel_format() method, for
+ easy access to the set_powerlimits method of the major
+ ScalarFormatter. - EF
+
+ Experimental new kwarg borderpad to replace pad in legend, based
+ on suggestion by Jae-Joon Lee. - EF
+
+ Allow spy to ignore zero values in sparse arrays, based on patch
+ by Tony Yu. Also fixed plot to handle empty data arrays, and
+ fixed handling of markers in figlegend. - EF
+
+ Introduce drawstyles for lines. Transparently split linestyles
+ like 'steps--' into drawstyle 'steps' and linestyle '--'. Legends
+ always use drawstyle 'default'. - MM
+
+ Fixed quiver and quiverkey bugs (failure to scale properly when
+ resizing) and added additional methods for determining the arrow
+ angles - EF
+
+ Fix polar interpolation to handle negative values of theta - MGD
+
+ Reorganized cbook and mlab methods related to numerical
+ calculations that have little to do with the goals of those two
+ modules into a separate module numerical_methods.py Also, added
+ ability to select points and stop point selection with keyboard in
+ ginput and manual contour labeling code. Finally, fixed contour
+ labeling bug. - DMK
+
+ Fix backtick in Postscript output. - MGD
+
+ [ 2089958 ] Path simplification for vector output backends
+ Leverage the simplification code exposed through path_to_polygons
+ to simplify certain well-behaved paths in the vector backends
+ (PDF, PS and SVG). "path.simplify" must be set to True in
+ matplotlibrc for this to work. - MGD
+
+ Add "filled" kwarg to Path.intersects_path and
+ Path.intersects_bbox. - MGD
+
+ Changed full arrows slightly to avoid an xpdf rendering problem
+ reported by Friedrich Hagedorn. - JKS
+
+ Fix conversion of quadratic to cubic Bezier curves in PDF and PS
+ backends. Patch by Jae-Joon Lee. - JKS
+
+ Added 5-point star marker to plot command q- EF
+
+ Fix hatching in PS backend - MGD
+
+ Fix log with base 2 - MGD
+
+ Added support for bilinear interpolation in
+ NonUniformImage; patch by Gregory Lielens. - EF
+
+ Added support for multiple histograms with data of
+ different length - MM
+
+ Fix step plots with log scale - MGD
+
+ Fix masked arrays with markers in non-Agg backends - MGD
+
+ Fix clip_on kwarg so it actually works correctly - MGD
+
+ Fix locale problems in SVG backend - MGD
+
+ fix quiver so masked values are not plotted - JSW
+
+ improve interactive pan/zoom in qt4 backend on windows - DSD
+
+ Fix more bugs in NaN/inf handling. In particular, path
+ simplification (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
