  * interactive support in ipython http://ipython.scipy.org with
    ipython -pylab, which detects your backend and loads the
    appropriate interactive, threaded shell, as well as all of
    matplotlib.matlab and numerix.  Requires ipython-0.6.3.  Backend
    status summary: linux (all backends working), OSX (tkagg and gtk*
    work), win32 (tkagg only).  Thanks Fernando Perez!

  * Excellent improvements in log ticking and formatting.  You can now
    do log plots in any base with major and minor tick support.  You
    can easily customize the location of the minor ticks with the subs
    arguments.  Mathtext exponential labeling for log plots.  Thanks
    Darren Dale and Gregory Lielens.  See the new screenshot and
    example - http://matplotlib.sf.net/screenshots.html#log_shot and
    help for the semilogx, semilogy and loglog.

      # base 16 semilog x plot with minor ticks on the 2s, 4s and 8s
      semilogx(x,y, basex=3D16, subsx=3D[2,4,8])

  * Mathtext now more than 5x faster.  Thanks to Paul Mcguire for
    optimizations in both pyparsing and the matplotlib grammar!
    Warning, mathtext broken on python2.2.  We hope to fix this soon.

  * fltkagg backend - alpha.  Gregory Lielens submitted an fltkagg
    backend which requires CVS pyfltk.  Feedback please!

  * Bug fixes: fixed some image edge effects, a ttf read problem in
    backend_ps on win32, several errorbar problems, a HOME dir bug on
    win32, grid w/o args now toggle grid state, multiple imshows with
    different extents, markerface color as RGB tulple
