[matplotlib-devel] v1.4.1rc1 delayed :(

[Thomas C. <tca...@gm...>]

Hello all,

We are going to miss the deadline on 1.4.1 as there is 2-3 blocker issues:

  - #3470 / PR#3564  which started as issues with the macosx backend
and spiralled into discovering that we were only validating input to
rcparams about half of the time.

 - #3505 The changes to disable interactive mode when not at a repl.
It turns out a lot of people use it and we should un-break them.

 - #3517 which is related to non-ascii paths in font look up which
causes matplotlib to blow up on import.

I am open to arguments that any of these should not be blockers.

Tom
