[matplotlib-devel] mpl release candidate branch

[John H. <jd...@gm...>]

Today is the "go-live" date for the mpl release candidate. There are
no more open issues tagged release_critical, so I suggest we branch
this afternoon.  This will give people a last chance to merge in
remaining pull requests.  If you know you are planning to handle a
given pull request before the branch, please drop a comment on the
pull request or respond here so we don't duplicate effort.  Michael,
are you available to make the release branch this afternoon?
