builds and may be able to do them for this release. That's the hard
part. Other than that, the main thing that needs to be done is to get
a fresh svn co and build, run backend_driver and memleak_hawaii and
make sure everything looks OK. If you can do that Eric, and Charlie
can do the win32 build, I'm all for it.

I just googled ubuntu matplotlib and got a page pointing to the old
debian 0.82 version. I know that is the main debian package people
are using but is it also the most recent ubuntu version. If so, just
getting them onto 0.87.7 would be a major advance. I thought ubuntu
was better about keeping up with current releases.

OK, I did the fresh co and build and the checking, and I don't see any problems. (There is a deprecation warning in unicode_demo.py--not a show-stopper.)

Edgy appears to be offering 0.87.5, which is not quite so bad. I have no idea what will happen in Feisty, however.

Yes, matplotlib version in edgy is 0.87.5, in feisty it is 0.87.7, see:

rev3002 works great for me. I can push the windows releases this
Saturday. I could push a source release sooner. Is anyone opposed to
me pushing a source release Friday with the binaries following up on
Saturday? If there are no objections, let's avoid major commits until
after then.

Let's do the source release ASAP -- I'll update the website for win32
users to point to the older release so they can find it until the
win32 binaries are out. That way if ubuntu wants to use this for
their next release before the Feb 8th upstream freeze they can (and it
will give us one day to do a point bugfix release if the whole world
blows up). Just be sure that you use the same svn revision for the
src release and the win32 builds which will help us with user errors.
And email us when the new source is up so I'll know to make the
website change.

And let's call it 0.90 god-doggy. I'm getting tired of 0.87. There
is at least one signficant API breaking new feature (the pick API)
which alone justifies not making this a point release. There are also
several new features sampled below

2007-01-22 Extended the new picker API to text, patches and patch
           collections. Added support for user customizable pick hit
           testing and attribute tagging of the PickEvent - Details
           and examples in examples/pick_event_demo.py -

2007-01-11 Added Axes.xcorr and Axes.acorr to plot the cross
           correlation of x vs y or the autocorrelation of x. pylab
           wrappers also provided. See examples/xcorr_demo.py

2007-01-10 Added "Subplot.label_outer" method. It will set the
           visibility of the ticklabels so that yticklabels are only
           visible in the first column and xticklabels are only
           visible in the last row

2006-12-09 Replaced spy and spy2 with the new spy that combines
           marker and image capabilities

2006-12-19 Added Tim Leslie's spectral patch

2006-11-19 Added semi-automatic docstring generation detailing all the
           kwargs that functions take using the artist introspection
           tools; eg 'help text now details the scatter kwargs
           that control the Text properties

2006-11-05 Added broken_barh function for makring a sequence of
           horizontal bars broken by gaps -- see examples/broken_barh.py

Thanks!
