Is there any reason you need to check the website, vs monitoring the
announce list, or registering to be alerted from the sf site (there is
a way to register to be alerted and I click the alert all users
monitoring this package with each release, but I can't find the link
right now).

 I have uploaded the source and OSX binaries for the bugfix release of

  http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=80706package_id=278194

 The windows binaries are not yet ready, so I'll followup to this email
 when they are up.  Below is a summary of the bugfixes in this release

The windows binaries are now uploaded and ready.  We had a problem due
to a binary incompatibility in numpy which was difficult to track
down.  The solution was to build the matplotlib binaries against older
versions of numpy.  According to my tests, the installers should work
with numpy 1.1 or later, but if you have trouble (eg an unexplained
segfault), try wiping your matplotlib and numpy installations, upgrade
numpy to the latest for your python version, and reinstall matplotlib.

Thanks to Charlie Moad for the windows builds.

That makes sense, however the reason I was asking is that I am the
maintainer of the MacPorts matplotlib port and I wanted to a way to
check for the latest release, I had been using a regex to the check
the latest version as displayed on home page but when this was updated
to the svn release this broke. Also as the 0.98.5.3 release is not a
specific release but a sub release of 0.98.5 I can't use the
sourceforge downloads page to query this.

It would be really helpful if a page was provided that listed the
latest stable release that packagers could use to automatically query.

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

great, thanks!

Note that the Mac binaries are kind of mis-named:

matplotlib-0.98.5.3-py2.5-macosx10.5.zip

That implies that they only work on 10.5, but AFAICT, it is built for 
the python.org python, which works on 10.3.9 and above. In any case, it 
seems to work for me on 10.4

something like:

matplotlib-0.98.5.3-python.org-2.5-macosx.mpkg.zip

might be better.

But it works, which is the bigger deal!

Thanks to all that contributed.

-Chris
