[Matplotlib-announce] [ANN] Matplotlib 3.4.2

Hi all,

We are pleased to announce the release of Matplotlib 3.4.2. This is the
second bug fix release of the 3.4.x series.

Pre-built wheels are available for most major platforms, and can be
installed using `pip install matplotlib==3.4.2`. Other packages may also
be available already; please check with your preferred source.

We would like to thank the 13 authors over 46 pull requests for their
contributions to this release.

  * Fix compatibility with Python 3.10
  * Add |subplot_mosaic| Axes in the order the user gave them to us
  * Correctly handle 'none' /facecolors/ in |do_3d_projection|
  * Ensure that Matplotlib is importable even if there's no HOME
  * Fix |CenteredNorm| with /halfrange/
  * Fix |bar_label| for bars with NaN values
  * Fix clip paths when zoomed such that they are outside the figure
  * Fix creation of |RangeSlider| with /valinit/
  * Fix handling of "d" glyph in backend_ps, fixing EPS output
  * Fix handling of datetime coordinates in |pcolormesh| with Pandas
  * Fix processing of some |errorbar| arguments
  * Fix removal of shared polar Axes
  * Fix resetting grid visibility
