1.2.0rc1 is cut

Development matplotlib-devel
1

I have tagged and created a tarball for 1.2.0rc1. The githash is
bda6dd9feab8. The tarball is on the github download page here:

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/downloads

I have created a new branch, v1.2.x, for continuing 1.2.x

development. The feature freeze on master is now lifted and big
experimental changes can be merged into master. Any bugfixes that
need to go into 1.2.x should be merged into both places. Please
mark any PRs for the 1.2.x branch with the 1.2.x milestone so we can
verify that things are merged in both places.

For those creating the Windows and Macintosh builds, let's try using

the github download page rather than the one at Sourceforge this
time. It is a lot simpler.

For those creating distro packages, now is a good time to let us

know what can be done to make the inclusion of matplotlib 1.2.0 as
smooth as possible.

Once the binaries are available, I will make an announcement to

matplotlib-users.

I think I've mentioned before, but whoever does the Debian packages is
welcome to use code from my bzr branch here:

https://code.launchpad.net/~takluyver/matplotlib/debian-daily

It's successfully building packages from master, including Python 3
packages, using the Launchpad recipe system:

Thanks,
Thomas

Can we hold the Windows binaries until rc2? Setup.py corrupts the pytz package, leading to stack-overflows on Python 3 and other problems on Python 2.

Sorry, I meant the dateutil package, not pytz.

Awesome! I'll start updating the Debian package asap. Just a couple of
preliminary questions:

- from now on, the official download place will be github? I'm just
asking so that we can update our monitoring tools to be notified of
new upstream releases/RCs and so on.
- previously, we have 2 tarballs: the "normal" one plus a
complementary sampledata ones containing the files below; but now it
seems those files are included in the main tarball: is that correct?
can I conclude the 2 tarballs are now merged into just one?

@Sandro: Yes, we merged the two together to simplify our code base and to reduce dependencies etc.; Hopefully that doesn’t cause you too much grief?

Eric/Russell, is there an issue on github for the reported problem?

Based on Christoph’s comments, and couple of bugs I have just tracked down, it sounds like we could do with a RC2 soon-ish.

The calendar states RC2 will be the 8th of October. Is it worth moving that forward to get some useful testing on Windows under the belt?

Yes, I was thinking the same thing. I should have some time to do
another round of bug triaging and then tag a release tomorrow.

Oh no, it's actually the opposite: I like it much more the unified
tarballs than what we had before.
