What's new in matplotlib 0.42

EPS output from PS backend

  Just add an eps extension

PS and EPS save from GTK and WX backends with bugs fixed

  A few of the bugs that were lingering in the PS output from the GTK
  backend have been cleared up. A fairly substantial refactoring of
  the Text class enabled this. Text is now backend independent and
  behaves like the other artists in the figure (lines, patches,
  etc). Additionally, PS and EPS save from WX backend work

Object picker example

  The file examples/object_picker.py is a template showing how to
  select objects in the figure with the mouse(eg, text, lines). If you
  click on the line, a properties dialog will pop up. You can edit the
  line properties. This is just a template for those who want to
  develop a GUI properties dialog. If interested, contact the mailing
  list. It would be straight forward to extend this example to allow
  you to move objects in the figure, etc

Thanks very much. I did an upgrade via CVS and the eps output works fine.

A slight glitch though. I think John has changed the AFMPATH environmental variable to MATPLOTLIBDATA (which is a more appropriate name) so people installing matplotlib in non-default places will have to set it instead.
