Michael Droetboom has improved the TeX parser to significantly expand it's coverege, and implemeted Knuth's box layout algorithms. Additionally, the much anticipated STIX fonts for math expressions have come online and ship with matplotlib. See a sample of the new mathtext at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html#mathtext_examples better configuration - Darren Dale has provided support for a site.cfg configuration file to enable users and package maintainers to have better control over the matplotlib build process. He has also provided a (currently optional) enthought.traits enabled property configuration to replace matplotlib's rc configuration using a maplotlib.conf file writing to file-like objects - You can now pass file like objects (eg StringIO) to all backends for hardcopy. This has been a much requested feature for usage in web application servers. record array support - New functions for loading, displaying and saving numpy record arrays in matplotlib.mlab. See for example, http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/loadrec.py pyplot - Added a module matplotlib.pyplot which has all of pylab's plotting functions (eg figure, plot, show, close) but does not import the numpy namepace. This is useful for those who want to use the pylab functionality w/o the namespace clutter. http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.pyplot.html maskedarray - Added optional support for the scipy sandbox masked array packaged. Configurable with an rc setting. plotfile - Added new pylab/pyplot command plotfile for gnuplot style file plotting http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.pyplot.html#-plotfile http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/plotfile_demo.py And lots more.... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
