matplotlib 1.2.0rc2 is available

matplotlib 1.2.0rc2 is available!

This is the culmination of many months of hard work.  1.2.0 is the

first release to support Python 3.x, and drops support for Python
2.5 and earlier. A more detailed list of changes is available here:

http://matplotlib.org/1.2.0/users/whats_new.html

For the first time, downloads are being made available through

github, and not through sourceforge, so the release and binaries can
be downloaded here:


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

(Due to a compiler difference, we do not have binaries for 32-bit

OS-X, but we hope to have them available soon.)

Documentation for the new release is available here:

    [http://matplotlib.org/1.2.0/](http://matplotlib.org/1.2.0/users/whats_new.html)

(The main matplotlib.org site will continue to host the

documentation for 1.1.1 until the final 1.2.0 release).

Go forth, download, kick the tires, and let us know what breaks! 

(Either here or on the github issue tracker).

Cheers,

Mike
