[Joerg L. <jo...@us...>]

Hi,

We're very happy to announce the release of PyX 0.17! 

This release contains various fixes and improvements. In particular, it adds
support for log axes with purely negative values, graph grids are now displayed
below filled data, and the UnicodeEngine supports transformations and colors.

Note that the density parameter has been moved to the axis rater. 

See the full list of changes below.

Happy PyXing,

        André and Jörg
