[matplotlib-devel] 1.3.1rc1 tagged

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

I have tagged a 1.3.1 release candidate.  Congrats to everyone who 
reported bugs and worked hard to fix them for this release.

As this is only a bugfix release, it should hopefully not take as long 
to get through the release candidate process.  I hope to hear from all 
the packagers over the next week or two, and barring no issues, I will 
tag this as 1.3.1 final.

The tarball is available here:

The changelog is copied below:

New in 1.3.1

1.3.1 is a bugfix release, primarily dealing with improved setup and
handling of dependencies, and correcting and enhancing the
documentation.

The following changes were made in 1.3.1 since 1.3.0.

Enhancements
````````````

- Added a context manager for creating multi-page pdfs (see
   `matplotlib.backends.backend_pdf.PdfPages`).

- The WebAgg backend should no have lower latency over heterogeneous
   Internet connections.

Bug fixes

- Histogram plots now contain the endline.

   non-ascii metadata is improved.

   backend.

Setup and dependencies

- Now works with any version of pyparsing 1.5.6 or later, without displaying
   hundreds of warnings.

- When installing from source into an environment without Numpy, Numpy
   will first be downloaded and built and then used to build
   matplotlib.

   fully-qualified path to the module.
