The problem here is that I built the site docs from svn, not the last release. 0.98.6svn is the version stamp from svn. I have mixed feelings about fixing this. On the one hand, there is merit to having the site docs reflect the current stable release. On the other hand, I like pushing people onto svn HEAD, because this is where all the latest features and bugfixes are. By building the site docs from svn, viewers of the gallery and examples directories, as well as the plain-ol-docs, get a peak at what is possible from svn. If they try it and find their latest installation doesn't support it, after complaining on the mailing list they may try installing svn. And that is a plus for mpl, because we have more testers on svn HEAD and more potential developers. We are endeavoring to get a regular buildbot process going, with regular builds and possibly nightly binaries for multiple platforms. That way, the site can stay on svn HEAD, and users who want to the latest can be pointed to ready-built installers from the buildbots. In the meantime, if you want your local installation to match the version on the website, try installing from svn <wink> http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#install-from-svn JDH ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
