Great job Christian, your efforts are priceless!

Do you have a citation for pgfplots such that your efforts, at least, get
some broader recognition?

> Changes:
>
> 1.13:
> - fixed bug: incompatiblity between fillbetween and babel
> - fixed bug: 'compat=1.9' (or newer) failed to work with log bar plots
> - fixed bug: javascript incompatibility between Acrobat reader DC and
> clickable lib
> - fixed bug in polar axes: repaired default axis label positions
> - fixed bug in polar axes: repaired support for sloped descriptions
> - fixed bug: 'axis line style={draw=none}' had no effect unless one had
> 2d boxed axes
> - fixed bug: point meta expressions with '=' inside of them which caused
> compilation errors
> - fixed bug: compat=1.12 combined with interrupted plots (by empty line)
> failed to work
> - fixed bug: compat=1.12 combined with lualatex evaluated relational
> operations (<, ==) with the wrong operator precedence
> - fixed bug: fixed floor and ceil functions
> - fixed bug: 'set layers' broke alignment features with different
> manifestations
>         ('set layers' together with fill between in group plots,
> together with at={} key, together with anchor)
> - fixed bug: fill between and group plots: fill-between graphics was
> missing (list of layers was lost)
> - fixed bug: \addplot graphics {\newFile{P.pdf}}; failed to properly
> expand the file name
> - fixed bug: fill between + error bars resulted in compilation error
> - fixed bug: stacked plots occasionally used a wrong coordinate mapping
> - fixed bug: provided suitable default legends for xbar and xbar stacked
> - fixed bug: 'dateplot' now computes missing 'date ZERO' automatically.
> 'date ZERO' is managed automatically.
> - new feature: Added support for search paths to find data files
> (table/search path)
> - new feature: 'xtick distance' allows to define tick positions by distance
> - new feature: "axis line shift=10pt" shifts axis lines together with
> all their descriptions
> - new feature: 'matrix plot' (alias 'imagesc') which allows cell-based
> matrix plots
> - new feature: unbounded point meta in mesh plots will be treated like
> an invisible patch
> - new feature: added high quality colormap 'viridis' (use 'colormap
> name=viridis' to activate it)
> - new feature: ensured that 'shader=flat' returns the same result for
> every choice of 'z buffer' (starting with compat=1.13)
> - new feature: utility function \pgfplotsforeachungrouped: added support
> for \breakforeach
> - new feature: compat=1.13: activates sampling routine with less
> rounding errors
> - new feature: cycle multiindex list (uses the 'ith' element for every
> provided sub-list)
> - new feature: 'color of colormap=<value>' or 'color of colormap=<value>
> of <colormap name>'
> - new feature: 'index of colormap=<value>' or 'index of colormap=<value>
> of <colormap name>'
> - new feature: cycle list={[of colormap]}
> - new feature: cycle list={[colors of colormap={0,100,500,100} of viridis]}
> - new feature: cycle list={[indices of colormap={0,1,2,3} of hot]}
> - new feature: added support for 'stack negative=on previous|separate'
> which allows separate plots for '+' and '-' (useful for bar plots)
> - new feature: added support for 'colormap access=direct' combined with
> 'shader=flat mean' and 'shader=interp':
>      it previously used to interpolate indices instead of colors
> - new feature: \closedcycle now produces useful results for 3d line plots
> - new feature: added \usetikzlibrary{colorbrewer} and
> \usepgfplotslibrary{colorbrewer}
> - new feature: added 'colormap access=piecewise constant'
> - new feature: added rudimentary support for "Filled Contours" (based on
> 'colormap access=piecewise constant')
> - new feature: added methods to build colormaps based on other colormaps
> using
>     "color of colormap", "index of colormap", "colors of colormap",
> "samples of colormap", and "indices of colormap"

> 1.12.1: minor bugfix release

> - scalability: lualated now reduces compilation time for boxplots.
>      10000 input points from table: time reduced to 23% of pdflatex
> - fixed bug: 3d axes where all axes used log scale produced compile failure
> - fixed bug: axis equal did not respect "disabledatascaling"
> - fixed bug: mesh legend was confused by color input=explicit
> - fixed bug: colorbar style did not reset zmin/zmax
> - fixed bug: memory allocation in FPU consumed too much memory
> - fixed bug: boxplots: removed compilation error due to spurious spaces
> in options list
> - fixed bug: boxplots: now uses standard quantile estimators: has all 9
> estimators of R and uses the same as in Excel as default (as of
> compat=1.12)
> - fixed bug: boxplots: sometimes failed to compute boxplot statistics
> for special inputs
> - fixed bug: boxplots: now, it sets 'mark=*' for outliers if there is no
> mark (compat=1.12)
> - fixed regression: compat=1.11 broke arcs inside of axis
> - new feature: ensured that arcs inside of axis make use of 'axis cs'
> and 'axis direction cs' automatically
> - new feature: ensured that (0:1) is evaluated with axis cs
> - fixed bug: precision of transformation cartesian to polar was too low
> (added atan2 to fpu)
> - fixed bug: z buffer caused 'mesh legend' to produce a compile error
> - new feature: added 'y filter/.expression={y==3 ? nan : y}' to simplify
> coordinate filters
