I've done a fair amount of testing on the branch (0.91.3), particularly looking at all the PDF and SVG output from backend driver, and these backends are in the best shape I've ever seen them. I don't use these backends in my daily work, so haven't fully appreciated all the incremental progress that has been made. They are both now fully feature compliant, which is amazing to me (thanks to Mike and Jouni and everyone who did all the nitty gritty work here). I did notice a bug in SVG and PS for the first time, where the polar lines are not clipped to the polygon axes background ( I filed it at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1977271&group_id=80706&atid=560720). I think we should take a crack at fixing these since the branch is otherwise in such good shape that we could perhaps go a long time w/o another maintenance release. On the trunk (0.98), the bug I am most concerned with is http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1976887&group_id=80706&atid=560720 . I find these jaggedy fonts in rotated text particularly grating, so I want to track this one down. So let's focus on clearing these bugs (and anything else the other devs raise), hopefully in the next couple days, and then push out the maintenance release followed by the pre-release of the branch. I'll also work on getting the site docs ready to go. On the issue of numpy 1.1: I am still not clear if our old binaries are broken. This came up in another thread on OS-X. If our binaries are broken with numpy 1.1 we need to move with a release ASAP, and these comparatively minor bugs should not hold us up. If they are not, I prefer to take a day or two and try and clear the above bugs first. I tested the mpl 0.91.2 win32 exe installer with the numpy 1.1 exe installer and had no troubles. Is the situation on OS-X different? Please advise. JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
