The main purpose of this release is to take advantage of the new aspect ratio handling in matplotlib 0.87.3.
Some new features have been added (new polar-centric convenience projections, sinusoidal projection, ability to plot land-sea masks, pcolormesh method), and numerous bugs were squashed.
Here is the full list of changes since 0.8.2:
* updated for new matplotlib aspect ratio handling.
Now maps will always have the correct aspect ratio.
* if resolution keyword is set to None when Basemap
instance is created, no boundary data sets are needed
(methods to draw boundaries, like drawcoastlines, will
raise an exception).
* update to proj4 module - renamed pyproj to avoid
conflicts with proj4 module from CDAT.
* createfigure method deprecated, since maps
will now automatically have the correct aspect ratio.
* Added new projections Xpstere, Xplaea, Xpaeqd (where X
can be n or s). These are special-case, polar-centric
versions of the stereographic, lambert azimuthal equal area
and azimuthal equidistant projections that don't require
you specify the lat/lon values of the lower-left and upper-right
corners. * fixed bugs in plot, scatter and mapboundary methods for
miller, cylindrical and mercator projections.
* 'crude' and 'low' resolution boundary datasets now installed
by default. basemap_data package now only needed for to get
'intermediate' and 'high' resolution datasets.
* moved all packages under single lib/ directory so
setuptools' "develop" command works properly.
* Added sinusoidal projection.
* bilinear interpolation routines can return masked arrays with
values outside range of data coordinates masked.
* New examples (warpimage.py - warping an image to
different map projections, polarmaps.py - simplified polar
projections, garp.py - 'World According to Garp' maps).
* pcolormesh method added.
* drawlsmask method added for masking oceans and/or land areas.
5 minute land-sea mask dataset added.

I tried to download basemap 0.9 from sourceforge but during unzipping I get an crc error. Can anybody else test the file from sf?
Thanks

Wolfgang: Works fine for me - I suggest trying another SF mirror. Do you remember which one you downloaded the corrupt file from?

Hi,
problem is solved. It seems that the file got corrupted during the first download and all further tries to download it again referred to the cached file. The solution simply was to empty the file cache.
Sorry for causing trouble
