[matplotlib-devel] Release schedule for version 1.0.1?

[Russell E. O. <ro...@uw...>]

I'm curious when the next release of matplotlib is due.

My application is suffering badly from the issue that an incorrect font 
cache will cause matplotlib to fail (the application mysteriously exits 
partway through startup until the user deletes the font cache).

That problem is allegedly fixed on the trunk and I'm trying to decide 
how best to deal with it. Depending on the timing of 1.0.1 I can decide 
whether it's worth putting in my own workaround, bundling a prerelease 
version of matplotlib or just waiting for the official release.

Regards,

P.S. does anyone know a way to get maplotlib to either not use its font 
cache or to use a version in mpl-data instead of ~/.matplotlib? When 
matplotlib is bundled into an application it seems dangerous for it to 
be sharing cached files with potentially older or newer versions that 
are installed or are bundled with other applications.
