matplotlib 0.98.0 CHANGELOG

===============================================================
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.)

           available) - JDH

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

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

2008-05-14 Don't use stat on Windows (fixes font embedding problem) - MGD

2008-05-09 Fix /singlequote (') in Postscript backend - 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

           by Lev Givon - EF

           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

           Peery) - MGD

           usetex. - JKS

2008-02-05 Added getters for title, xlabel, ylabel, as requested
           by Brandon Kieth - EF

2008-02-05 Applied Gael's ginput patch and created
           examples/ginput_demo.py - JDH

           work below) - MGD

2008-01-27 Applied  Martin Teichmann's patch to improve the Qt4
           backend. Uses Qt's builtin toolbars and statusbars.
           See bug 1828848 - DSD

2008-01-10 Moved toolkits to mpl_toolkits, made mpl_toolkits
           a namespace package - JSWHIT

2008-01-10 Use setup.cfg to set the default parameters (tkagg,
           numpy) when building windows installers - DSD

2008-01-10 Fix bug displaying [ and ] in mathtext - MGD

2008-01-10 Fix bug when displaying a tick value offset with scientific
