matplotlib 0.98.0 CHANGELOG
[Posted June 4, 2008 by cook]
===============================================================
2008-05-29 Released 0.98.0 at revision 5314
2008-05-29 matplotlib.image.imread now no longer always returns RGBA
-- if the image is luminance or RGB, it will return a MxN
or MxNx3 array if possible. Also uint8 is no longer always
forced to float.
2008-05-29 Implement path clipping in PS backend - JDH
2008-05-29 Fixed two bugs in texmanager.py:
improved comparison of dvipng versions
fixed a bug introduced when get_grey method was added
- DSD
2008-05-28 Fix crashing of PDFs in xpdf and ghostscript when two-byte
characters are used with Type 3 fonts - MGD
2008-05-28 Allow keyword args to configure widget properties as
requested in
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&...
- JDH
2008-05-28 Replaced '-' with u'\u2212' for minus sign as requested in
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&...
2008-05-28 zero width/height Rectangles no longer influence the
autoscaler. Useful for log histograms with empty bins -
JDH
2008-05-28 Fix rendering of composite glyphs in Type 3 conversion
(particularly as evidenced in the Eunjin.ttf Korean font)
Thanks Jae-Joon Lee for finding this!
2008-05-27 Rewrote the cm.ScalarMappable callback infrastructure to
use cbook.CallbackRegistry rather than custom callback
handling. Amy users of add_observer/notify of the
cm.ScalarMappable should uae the
cm.ScalarMappable.callbacksSM CallbackRegistry instead. JDH
2008-05-27 Fix TkAgg build on Ubuntu 8.04 (and hopefully a more
general solution for other platforms, too.)
2008-05-24 Added PIL support for loading images to imread (if PIL is
available) - JDH
2008-05-23 Provided a function and a method for controlling the
plot color cycle. - EF
2008-05-23 Major revision of hist(). Can handle 2D arrays and create
stacked histogram plots; keyword 'width' deprecated and
rwidth (relative width) introduced; align='edge' changed
to center of bin - MM
2008-05-22 Added support for ReST-based doumentation using Sphinx.
Documents are located in doc/, and are broken up into
a users guide and an API reference. To build, run the
make.py files. Sphinx-0.4 is needed to build generate xml,
which will be useful for rendering equations with mathml,
use sphinx from svn until 0.4 is released - DSD
2008-05-21 Fix segfault in TkAgg backend - MGD
2008-05-21 Fix a "local variable unreferenced" bug in plotfile - MM

determine font path [Bug 1966974, thanks Patrik Simons] - MGD
2008-05-16 removed some unneeded code w/ the python 2.4 requirement.
cbook no longer provides compatibility for reversed,
enumerate, set or izip. removed lib/subprocess, mpl1,
sandbox/units, and the swig code. This stuff should remain
on the maintenance branch for archival purposes. JDH
2008-05-16 Reorganized examples dir - JDH
2008-05-16 Added 'elinewidth' keyword arg to errorbar, based on patch
by Christopher Brown - MM
2008-05-16 Added 'cumulative' keyword arg to hist to plot cumulative
histograms. For normed hists, this is normalized to one - MM
2008-05-15 Fix Tk backend segfault on some machines - MGD
2008-05-14 Don't use stat on Windows (fixes font embedding problem) - MGD

2008-05-06 Fix strange colors when blitting in QtAgg and Qt4Agg - MGD
2008-05-05 pass notify_axes_change to the figure's add_axobserver
in the qt backends, like we do for the other backends.
Thanks Glenn Jones for the report - DSD
2008-05-02 Added step histograms, based on patch by Erik Tollerud. - MM
2008-05-02 On PyQt <= 3.14 there is no way to determine the underlying
Qt version. [1851364] - MGD
2008-05-02 Don't call sys.exit() when pyemf is not found [1924199] -
MGD
2008-05-02 Update _subprocess.c from upstream Python 2.5.2 to get a
few memory and reference-counting-related bugfixes. See
bug 1949978. - MGD
2008-04-30 Added some record array editing widgets for gtk -- see
examples/rec_edit*.py - JDH

axes method and pyplot function - EF
2008-04-25 Enforce python >= 2.4; remove subprocess build - EF
2008-04-25 Enforce the numpy requirement at build time - JDH
2008-04-24 Make numpy 1.1 and python 2.3 required when importing
matplotlib - EF
2008-04-24 Fix compilation issues on VS2003 (Thanks Martin Spacek for
all the help) - MGD

changed - MGD
2008-04-22 Use "svg.embed_char_paths" consistently everywhere - MGD
2008-04-20 Add support to MaxNLocator for symmetric axis autoscaling. - EF

2008-04-11 Fix global font rcParam setting after initialization
time. - MGD
2008-04-11 Revert commits 5002 and 5031, which were intended to
avoid an unnecessary call to draw(). 5002 broke saving
figures before show(). 5031 fixed the problem created in
5002, but broke interactive plotting. Unnecessary call to
draw still needs resolution - DSD
2008-04-07 Improve color validation in rc handling, suggested
by Lev Givon - EF
2008-04-02 Allow to use both linestyle definition arguments, '-' and
'solid' etc. in plots/collections - MM

Inkscape (thanks Kaushik Ghose) - MGD
2008-03-24 Removed an unnecessary call to draw() in the backend_qt*
mouseReleaseEvent. Thanks to Ted Drain - DSD

gsave to not be balanced with a grestore. - JKS
2008-03-20 Fixed a minor bug in ContourSet._process_linestyles when
len(linestyles)==Nlev - MM
2008-03-19 Changed ma import statements to "from numpy import ma";
this should work with past and future versions of
numpy, whereas "import numpy.ma as ma" will work only
with numpy >= 1.05, and "import numerix.npyma as ma"
is obsolete now that maskedarray is replacing the
earlier implementation, as of numpy 1.05.
2008-03-14 Removed an apparently unnecessary call to
FigureCanvasAgg.draw in backend_qt*agg. Thanks to Ted
Drain - DSD
2008-03-10 Workaround a bug in backend_qt4agg's blitting due to a
buffer width/bbox width mismatch in _backend_agg's
copy_from_bbox - DSD

Peery) - MGD
2008-02-16 Added some new rec array functionality to mlab
(rec_summarize, rec2txt and rec_groupby). See

and image_masked.py. - EF
