===============================================================
2006-09-05 Released 0.87.5 at revision 2761

2006-09-04 Added nxutils for some numeric add-on extension code --
       specifically a better/more efficient inside polygon tester (see
       unit/inside_poly_*.py) - JDH

2006-09-04 Made bitstream fonts the rc default - JDH

2006-08-31 Fixed alpha-handling bug in ColorConverter, affecting
           collections in general and contour/contourf in
           particular. - EF

2006-08-30 ft2font.cpp: Added draw_rect_filled method (now used by mathtext2
           to draw the fraction bar) to FT2Font - ES

2006-08-29 setupext.py: wrap calls to tk.getvar() with str(). On some
           systems, getvar returns a Tcl_Obj instead of a string - DSD

2006-08-28 mathtext2.py: Sub/superscripts can now be complex (i.e.
           fractions etc.). The demo is also updated - ES

2006-08-28 font_manager.py: Added /usr/local/share/fonts to list of
           X11 font directories - DSD

2006-08-28 mahtext2.py: Initial support for complex fractions. Also,
           rendering is now completely separated from parsing. The
           sub/superscripts now work better.
           Updated the mathtext2_demo.py - ES

2006-08-27 qt backends: don't create a QApplication when backend is
           imported, do it when the FigureCanvasQt is created. Simplifies
           applications where mpl is embedded in qt. Updated
           embedding_in_qt* examples - DSD

2006-08-27 mahtext2.py: Now the fonts are searched in the OS font dir and
           in the mpl-data dir. Also env is not a dict anymore. - ES

2006-08-26 minor changes to __init__.py, mathtex2_demo.py. Added matplotlibrc
           key "mathtext.mathtext2" (removed the key "mathtext2") - ES

2006-08-21 mathtext2.py: Initial support for fractions
           Updated the mathtext2_demo.py
           _mathtext_data.py: removed "\" from the unicode dicts
           mathtext.py: Minor modification (because of _mathtext_data.py)- ES

2006-08-20 Added mathtext2.py: Replacement for mathtext.py. Supports _ ^,
           \rm, \cal etc., \sin, \cos etc., unicode, recursive nestings,
           inline math mode. The only backend currently supported is Agg
           __init__.py: added new rc params for mathtext2
           added mathtext2_demo.py example - ES

2006-08-19 Added embedding_in_qt4.py example - DSD

2006-08-11 Added scale free Ellipse patch for Agg - CM

2006-08-10 Added converters to and from julian dates to matplotlib.dates
           (num2julian and julian2num) - JDH

2006-08-08 Fixed widget locking so multiple widgets could share the
           event handling - JDH

2006-08-07 Added scale free Ellipse patch to SVG and PS - CM

2006-08-05 Re-organized imports in numerix for numpy 1.0b2 -- TEO

2006-08-04 Added draw_markers to PDF backend. - JKS

2006-08-01 Fixed a bug in postscript's rendering of dashed lines - DSD

2006-08-01 figure.py: savefig() update docstring to add support for 'format'
           argument.
           backend_cairo.py: print_figure() add support 'format' argument. - SC

2006-07-31 Don't let postscript's xpdf distiller compress images - DSD

2006-07-31 Added shallowcopy() methods to all Transformations;
           removed copy_bbox_transform and copy_bbox_transform_shallow
           from transforms.py;
           added offset_copy() function to transforms.py to
           facilitate positioning artists with offsets.
           See examples/transoffset.py. - EF

2006-07-31 Don't let postscript's xpdf distiller compress images - DSD

2006-07-29 Fixed numerix polygon bug reported by Nick Fotopoulos.
           Added inverse_numerix_xy() transform method.
           Made autoscale_view() preserve axis direction
           (e.g., increasing down).- EF

2006-07-28 Added shallow bbox copy routine for transforms -- mainly
           useful for copying transforms to apply offset to. - JDH

2006-07-28 Added resize method to FigureManager class
           for Qt and Gtk backend - CM

2006-07-28 Added subplots_adjust button to Qt backend - CM

2006-07-26 Use numerix more in collections.
           Quiver now handles masked arrays. - EF

I keep running into the ImportError problem described on the devel list,
with the win32 2.4 binary (exe). Is that still just a case of waiting
for the mirrors to update, or is there a deeper problem? Are there
alternative download links? How to tell whether it's the "right" binary,
since version numbers are the same?

Thanks for your help,
Sven

That error was relating to the source release. Can you please post
your error for the binary?

Well the thread on the devel list that I referred to explicitly has the
win32 exe in its title ("Missing __init__.py in
matplotlib-0.87.5.win32-py2.4.exe ?") . The starting post there pretty
much says it all.

There's also a recent post on the numpy list that sounds like it's maybe
the same problem (quote):
"""
Is there a compatible matplotlib as well? I was o.k. with mpl from
enthought until I switched numerix to numpy. That made mpl unhappy.
I downloaded 0.87.5 but I broke something in the process because now
even switching back to Numeric doesn't make mpl happy.

The source error must of propagated to those builds. I will post new
ones shortly.
