0.1

  • First "non dev" release.

jedi -> 0.9.0

0.9.0

++++++++++++++++++

  • The import logic has been rewritten to look more like Python's. There is now
    an Evaluator.modules import cache, which resembles sys.modules.
  • Integrated the parser of 2to3. This will make refactoring possible. It will
    also be possible to check for error messages (like compiling an AST would give)
    in the future.
  • With the new parser, the evaluation also completely changed. It's now simpler
    and more readable.
  • Completely rewritten REPL completion.
  • Added jedi.names, a command to do static analysis. Thanks to that
    sourcegraph guys for sponsoring this!
  • Alpha version of the linter.

0.8.1

+++++++++++++++++++

  • Bugfix release, the last release forgot to include files that improve
    autocompletion for builtin libraries. Fixed.

0.8.0

+++++++++++++++++++

  • Memory Consumption for compiled modules (e.g. builtins, sys) has been reduced
    drastically. Loading times are down as well (it takes basically as long as an
    import).
  • REPL completion is starting to become usable.
  • Various small API changes. Generally this release focuses on stability and
    refactoring of internal APIs.
  • Introducing operator precedence, which makes calculating correct Array
    indices and __getattr__ strings possible.

0.7.0

++++++++++++++++++

  • Switched from LGPL to MIT license.
  • Added an Interpreter class to the API to make autocompletion in REPL
    possible.
  • Added autocompletion support for namespace packages.
  • Add sith.py, a new random testing method.

0.6.0

++++++++++++++++++

  • Much faster parser with builtin part caching.
  • A test suite, thanks tkf.

0.5

+++++++++++++++++++

  • Initial development.

                                        becomes:

        draw_path_collection(self, gc, master_transform, paths, all_transforms,
                             offsets, offsetTrans, facecolors, edgecolors,
                             linewidths, linestyles, antialiaseds, urls)



        draw_quad_mesh(self, master_transform, cliprect, clippath,
                       clippath_trans, meshWidth, meshHeight, coordinates,
                       offsets, offsetTrans, facecolors, antialiased,
                       showedges)

                                        becomes:

        draw_quad_mesh(self, gc, master_transform, meshWidth, meshHeight,
                       coordinates, offsets, offsetTrans, facecolors,
                       antialiased, showedges)



        draw_image(self, x, y, im, bbox, clippath=None, clippath_trans=None)

                                        becomes:

        draw_image(self, gc, x, y, im)

2008-12-08 Some of the changes Michael made to improve the output of
the property tables in the rest docs broke of made
difficult to use some of the interactive doc helpers, e.g.,
setp and getp. Having all the rest markup in the ipython
shell also confused the docstrings. I added a new rc param
docstring.harcopy, to format the docstrings differently for
hardcopy and other use. Ther ArtistInspector could use a
little refactoring now since there is duplication of effort
between the rest out put and the non-rest output - JDH

2008-11-11 Update the psd(), csd(), cohere(), and specgram() methods
of Axes and the csd() cohere(), and specgram() functions
in mlab to be in sync with the changes to psd().

to do computations. - RM

2008-11-11 Add 'pad_to' and 'sides' parameters to mlab.psd() to
allow controlling of zero padding and returning of
negative frequency components, respecitively. These are

2008-04-11 Revert commits 5002 and 5031, which were intended to
avoid an unnecessary call to draw(). 5002 broke saving
figures before show(). 5031 fixed the problem created in
5002, but broke interactive plotting. Unnecessary call to
draw still needs resolution - DSD

2007-11-13 All backends now support writing to a file-like object, not
just a regular file. savefig() can be passed a file-like
object in place of a file path. - MGD

2007-11-13 Improved the default backend selection at build time:
SVG -> Agg -> TkAgg -> WXAgg -> GTK -> GTKAgg. The last usable
backend in this progression will be chosen in the default
config file. If a backend is defined in setup.cfg, that will
be the default backend - DSD

2007-11-13 Improved creation of default config files at build time for
traited config package - DSD

2007-11-12 Exposed all the build options in setup.cfg. These options are
read into a dict called "options" by setupext.py. Also, added
"-mpl" tags to the version strings for packages provided by
matplotlib. Versions provided by mpl will be identified and
updated on subsequent installs - DSD

2007-11-12 Added support for STIX fonts. A new rcParam,
mathtext.fontset, can be used to choose between:

      &#39;cm&#39;:
        The TeX/LaTeX Computer Modern fonts

      &#39;stix&#39;:
        The STIX fonts (see stixfonts.org)

      &#39;stixsans&#39;:
        The STIX fonts, using sans-serif glyphs by default

      &#39;custom&#39;:
        A generic Unicode font, in which case the mathtext font
        must be specified using mathtext.bf, mathtext.it,
        mathtext.sf etc.

      Added a new example, stix_fonts_demo.py to show how to access
      different fonts and unusual symbols.

      - MGD

2007-11-12 Options to disable building backend extension modules moved
from setup.py to setup.cfg - DSD

2007-11-09 Applied Martin Teichmann's patch 1828813: a QPainter is used in
paintEvent, which has to be destroyed using the method end(). If
matplotlib raises an exception before the call to end - and it
does if you feed it with bad data - this method end() is never
called and Qt4 will start spitting error messages

2007-11-09 Moved pyparsing back into matplotlib namespace. Don't use
system pyparsing, API is too variable from one release
to the next - DSD

automatic level generation now works. - EF

2007-10-29 TRANSFORMS REFACTORING

      The primary goal of this refactoring was to make it easier
      to extend matplotlib to support new kinds of projections.
      This is primarily an internal improvement, and the possible
      user-visible changes it allows are yet to come.

      The transformation framework was completely rewritten in
      Python (with Numpy).  This will make it easier to add news
      kinds of transformations without writing C/C++ code.

      Transforms are composed into a &#39;transform tree&#39;, made of
      transforms whose value depends on other transforms (their
      children).  When the contents of children change, their
      parents are automatically updated to reflect those changes.
      To do this an &quot;invalidation&quot; method is used: when children
      change, all of their ancestors are marked as &quot;invalid&quot;.
      When the value of a transform is accessed at a later time,
      its value is recomputed only if it is invalid, otherwise a
      cached value may be used.  This prevents unnecessary
      recomputations of transforms, and contributes to better
      interactive performance.

      The framework can be used for both affine and non-affine
      transformations.  However, for speed, we want use the
      backend renderers to perform affine transformations
      whenever possible.  Therefore, it is possible to perform
      just the affine or non-affine part of a transformation on a
      set of data.  The affine is always assumed to occur after
      the non-affine.  For any transform:

           full transform == non-affine + affine

      Much of the drawing has been refactored in terms of
      compound paths.  Therefore, many methods have been removed
      from the backend interface and replaced with a a handful to
      draw compound paths.  This will make updating the backends
      easier, since there is less to update.  It also should make
      the backends more consistent in terms of functionality.

      User visible changes:

      - POLAR PLOTS: Polar plots are now interactively zoomable,
        and the r-axis labels can be interactively rotated.
        Straight line segments are now interpolated to follow the
        curve of the r-axis.

      - Non-rectangular clipping works in more backends and with
        more types of objects.

      - Sharing an axis across figures is now done in exactly
        the same way as sharing an axis between two axes in the
        same figure:

                 fig1 = figure()
              fig2 = figure()

              ax1 = fig1.add_subplot(111)
              ax2 = fig2.add_subplot(111, sharex=ax1, sharey=ax1)

      - linestyles now include steps-pre, steps-post and
        steps-mid.  The old step still works and is equivalent to
        step-pre.

      - Multiple line styles may be provided to a collection.

      See API_CHANGES for more low-level information about this
      refactoring.

2007-10-24 Added ax kwarg to Figure.colorbar and pyplot.colorbar - EF

2007-10-19 Removed a gsave/grestore pair surrounding _draw_ps, which
was causing a loss graphics state info (see "EPS output
problem - scatter & edgecolors" on mpl-dev, 2007-10-29)
- DSD

2007-10-15 Fixed a bug in patches.Ellipse that was broken for
aspect='auto'. Scale free ellipses now work properly for
equal and auto on Agg and PS, and they fall back on a
polygonal approximation for nonlinear transformations until
we convince oursleves that the spline approximation holds
for nonlinear transformations. Added
unit/ellipse_compare.py to compare spline with vertex
approx for both aspects. JDH

2007-10-05 remove generator expressions from texmanager and mpltraits.
generator expressions are not supported by python-2.3 - DSD

2007-10-01 Made matplotlib.use() raise an exception if called after
backends has been imported. - EF

2007-09-30 Modified update* methods of Bbox and Interval so they
work with reversed axes. Prior to this, trying to
set the ticks on a reversed axis failed with an
uninformative error message. - EF

2007-09-30 Applied patches to axes3d to fix index error problem - EF

2007-09-24 Applied Eike Welk's patch reported on mpl-dev on 2007-09-22
Fixes a bug with multiple plot windows in the qt backend,
ported the changes to backend_qt4 as well - DSD

2007-09-21 Changed cbook.reversed to yield the same result as the
python reversed builtin - DSD

2007-09-13 The usetex support in the pdf backend is more usable now,
so I am enabling it. - JKS

2007-09-12 Fixed a Axes.bar unit bug - JDH

2007-09-10 Made skiprows=1 the default on csv2rec - JDH

2007-09-09 Split out the plotting part of pylab and put it in
pyplot.py; removed numerix from the remaining pylab.py,
which imports everything from pyplot.py. The intention
is that apart from cleanups, the result of importing
from pylab is nearly unchanged, but there is the
new alternative of importing from pyplot to get
the state-engine graphics without all the numeric
functions.
Numpified examples; deleted two that were obsolete;
modified some to use pyplot. - EF

2007-09-08 Eliminated gd and paint backends - EF

2007-09-06 .bmp file format is now longer an alias for .raw

2007-09-07 Added clip path support to pdf backend. - JKS

2007-09-06 Fixed a bug in the embedding of Type 1 fonts in PDF.
Now it doesn't crash Preview.app. - JKS

2007-09-06 Refactored image saving code so that all GUI backends can
save most image types. See FILETYPES for a matrix of
backends and their supported file types.
Backend canvases should no longer write their own print_figure()
method -- instead they should write a print_xxx method for
each filetype they can output and add an entry to their
class-scoped filetypes dictionary. - MGD

2007-09-05 Fixed Qt version reporting in setupext.py - DSD

2007-09-04 Embedding Type 1 fonts in PDF, and thus usetex support
via dviread, sort of works. To test, enable it by
renaming _draw_tex to draw_tex. - JKS

2007-09-03 Added ability of errorbar show limits via caret or
arrowhead ends on the bars; patch by Manual Metz. - EF

2007-09-03 Created type1font.py, added features to AFM and FT2Font
(see API_CHANGES), started work on embedding Type 1 fonts
in pdf files. - JKS

2007-09-02 Continued work on dviread.py. - JKS

2007-08-16 Added a set_extent method to AxesImage, allow data extent
to be modified after initial call to imshow - DSD

2007-08-14 Fixed a bug in pyqt4 subplots-adjust. Thanks to
Xavier Gnata for the report and suggested fix - DSD

2007-08-13 Use pickle to cache entire fontManager; change to using
font_manager module-level function findfont wrapper for
the fontManager.findfont method - EF

2007-08-11 Numpification and cleanup of mlab.py and some examples - EF

2007-08-06 Removed mathtext2

2007-07-31 Refactoring of distutils scripts.
- Will not fail on the entire build if an optional Python
package (e.g., Tkinter) is installed but its development
headers are not (e.g., tk-devel). Instead, it will
continue to build all other extensions.
- Provide an overview at the top of the output to display
what dependencies and their versions were found, and (by
extension) what will be built.
- Use pkg-config, when available, to find freetype2, since
this was broken on Mac OS-X when using MacPorts in a non-
standard location.

2007-07-30 Reorganized configuration code to work with traited config
objects. The new config system is located in the
matplotlib.config package, but it is disabled by default.
To enable it, set NEWCONFIG=True in matplotlib.init.py.
The new configuration system will still use the old
matplotlibrc files by default. To switch to the experimental,
traited configuration, set USE_TRAITED_CONFIG=True in
config.init.py.

2007-07-29 Changed default pcolor shading to flat; added aliases
to make collection kwargs agree with setter names, so
updating works; related minor cleanups.
Removed quiver_classic, scatter_classic, pcolor_classic. - EF

2007-07-26 Major rewrite of mathtext.py, using the TeX box layout model.

      There is one (known) backward incompatible change.  The
      font commands (\cal, \rm, \it, \tt) now behave as TeX does:
      they are in effect until the next font change command or
      the end of the grouping.  Therefore uses of $\cal{R}$
      should be changed to ${\cal R}$.  Alternatively, you may
      use the new LaTeX-style font commands (\mathcal, \mathrm,
      \mathit, \mathtt) which do affect the following group,
      e.g., $\mathcal{R}$.

      Other new features include:

      - Math may be interspersed with non-math text.  Any text
        with an even number of $&#39;s (non-escaped) will be sent to
        the mathtext parser for layout.

      - Sub/superscripts are less likely to accidentally overlap.

      - Support for sub/superscripts in either order, e.g., $x^i_j$
        and $x_j^i$ are equivalent.

      - Double sub/superscripts (e.g., $x_i_j$) are considered
        ambiguous and raise an exception.  Use braces to disambiguate.

      - $\frac{x}{y}$ can be used for displaying fractions.

      - $\sqrt[3]{x}$ can be used to display the radical symbol
        with a root number and body.

      - $\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)$ may be used to create
        parentheses and other delimiters that automatically
        resize to the height of their contents.

      - Spacing around operators etc. is now generally more like
        TeX.

      - Added support (and fonts) for boldface (\bf) and
        sans-serif (\sf) symbols.

      - Log-like function name shortcuts are supported.  For
        example, $\sin(x)$ may be used instead of ${\rm sin}(x)$

      - Limited use of kerning for the easy case (same font)

      Behind the scenes, the pyparsing.py module used for doing
      the math parsing was updated to the latest stable version
      (1.4.6).  A lot of duplicate code was refactored out of the
      Font classes.

Also made unit/memleak_gui.py more flexible with
command-line options. - EF

2007-06-30 Split defaultParams into separate file rcdefaults (together with

2007-04-07 Fixed legend/LineCollection bug. Added label support
to collections. - EF

2007-04-06 Removed deprecated support for a float value as a gray-scale;
now it must be a string, like '0.5'. Added alpha kwarg to
ColorConverter.to_rgba_list. - EF

2007-04-06 Fixed rotation of ellipses in pdf backend
(sf bug 1690559) -JKS

2007-04-04 More matshow tweaks; documentation updates; new method
set_bounds() for formatters and locators. - EF

2007-04-02 Fixed problem with imshow and matshow of integer arrays;
fixed problems with changes to color autoscaling. - EF

2007-04-01 Made image color autoscaling work correctly with
a tracking colorbar; norm.autoscale now scales
unconditionally, while norm.autoscale_None changes
only None-valued vmin, vmax. - EF

2007-03-31 Added a qt-based subplot-adjustment dialog - DSD

2007-03-30 Fixed a bug in backend_qt4, reported on mpl-dev - DSD

2007-03-26 Removed colorbar_classic from figure.py; fixed bug in
Figure.clf() in which _axobservers was not getting
cleared. Modernization and cleanups. - EF

2007-03-26 Refactored some of the units support -- units now live in
the respective x and y Axis instances. See also
API_CHANGES for some alterations to the conversion
interface. JDH

2007-03-25 Fix masked array handling in quiver.py for numpy. (Numeric
and numarray support for masked arrays is broken in other
ways when using quiver. I didn't pursue that.) - ADS

2007-03-23 Made font_manager.py close opened files. - JKS

2007-03-22 Made imshow default extent match matshow - EF

2007-03-22 Some more niceties for xcorr -- a maxlags option, normed
now works for xcorr as well as axorr, usevlines is
supported, and a zero correlation hline is added. See
examples/xcorr_demo.py. Thanks Sameer for the patch. -
JDH

2007-03-21 Axes.vlines and Axes.hlines now create and returns a
LineCollection, not a list of lines. This is much faster.
The kwarg signature has changed, so consult the docs.
Modified Axes.errorbar which uses vlines and hlines. See
API_CHANGES; the return signature for these three functions
is now different

2007-03-20 Refactored units support and added new examples - JDH

2007-03-19 Added Mike's units patch - JDH

2007-03-18 Matshow as an Axes method; test version matshow1() in
pylab; added 'integer' Boolean kwarg to MaxNLocator
initializer to force ticks at integer locations. - EF

2007-03-17 Preliminary support for clipping to paths agg - JDH

2007-03-17 Text.set_text() accepts anything convertible with '%s' - EF

2007-03-14 Add masked-array support to hist. - EF

2007-03-03 Change barh to take a kwargs dict and pass it to bar.
Fixes sf bug 1669506.

2007-03-02 Add rc parameter pdf.inheritcolor, which disables all
color-setting operations in the pdf backend. The idea is
that you include the resulting file in another program and
set the colors (both stroke and fill color) there, so you
can use the same pdf file for e.g., a paper and a
presentation and have them in the surrounding color. You
will probably not want to draw figure and axis frames in
that case, since they would be filled in the same color. - JKS

2007-02-26 Prevent building _wxagg.so with broken Mac OS X wxPython. - ADS

2007-02-23 Require setuptools for Python 2.3 - ADS

2007-02-22 WXAgg accelerator updates - KM
WXAgg's C++ accelerator has been fixed to use the correct wxBitmap
constructor.

      The backend has been updated to use new wxPython functionality to
      provide fast blit() animation without the C++ accelerator.  This
      requires wxPython 2.8 or later.  Previous versions of wxPython can
      use the C++ acclerator or the old pure Python routines.

      setup.py no longer builds the C++ accelerator when wxPython &gt;= 2.8
      is present.

      The blit() method is now faster regardless of which agg/wxPython
      conversion routines are used.

2007-02-21 Applied the PDF backend patch by Nicolas Grilly.
This impacts several files and directories in matplotlib:

      - Created the directory lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/pdfcorefonts,
        holding AFM files for the 14 PDF core fonts. These fonts are
        embedded in every PDF viewing application.

      - setup.py: Added the directory pdfcorefonts to package_data.

      - lib/matplotlib/__init__.py: Added the default parameter
        &#39;pdf.use14corefonts&#39;. When True, the PDF backend uses
        only the 14 PDF core fonts.

      - lib/matplotlib/afm.py: Added some keywords found in
        recent AFM files. Added a little workaround to handle
        Euro symbol.

      - lib/matplotlib/fontmanager.py: Added support for the 14
        PDF core fonts. These fonts have a dedicated cache (file
        pdfcorefont.cache), not the same as for other AFM files
        (file .afmfont.cache). Also cleaned comments to conform
        to CODING_GUIDE.

      - lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_pdf.py:
        Added support for 14 PDF core fonts.
        Fixed some issues with incorrect character widths and
        encodings (works only for the most common encoding,
        WinAnsiEncoding, defined by the official PDF Reference).
        Removed parameter &#39;dpi&#39; because it causes alignment issues.

      -JKS (patch by Nicolas Grilly)

2007-02-17 Changed ft2font.get_charmap, and updated all the files where
get_charmap is mentioned - ES

2007-02-13 Added barcode demo- JDH

2007-02-13 Added binary colormap to cm - JDH

2007-02-13 Added twiny to pylab - JDH

2007-02-12 Moved data files into lib/matplotlib so that setuptools'
develop mode works. Re-organized the mpl-data layout so
that this source structure is maintained in the
installation. (i.e., the 'fonts' and 'images'
sub-directories are maintained in site-packages.) Suggest
removing site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data and
~/.matplotlib/ttffont.cache before installing - ADS

2007-02-07 Committed Rob Hetland's patch for qt4: remove
references to text()/latin1(), plus some improvements
to the toolbar layout - DSD

2007-02-06 Released 0.90.0 at revision 3003

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 - JDH

2007-01-16 Begun work on a new pick API using the mpl event handling
frameowrk. Artists will define their own pick method with
a configurable epsilon tolerance and return pick attrs.
All artists that meet the tolerance threshold will fire a
PickEvent with artist dependent attrs; e.g., a Line2D can set
the indices attribute that shows the indices into the line
that are within epsilon of the pick point. See
examples/pick_event_demo.py. The implementation of pick
for the remaining Artists remains to be done, but the core
infrastructure at the level of event handling is in place
with a proof-of-concept implementation for Line2D - JDH

2007-01-16 src/_image.cpp: update to use Py_ssize_t (for 64-bit systems).
Use return value of fread() to prevent warning messages - SC.

2007-01-15 src/_image.cpp: combine buffer_argb32() and buffer_bgra32() into
a new method color_conv(format) - SC

2007-01-14 backend_cairo.py: update draw_arc() so that
examples/arctest.py looks correct - SC

examples/contour_demo.py looks correct - SC

2007-01-12 backend_cairo.py: fix draw_image() so that examples/image_demo.py
now looks correct - SC

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 - JDH

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 - JDH

2007-01-02 Added additional kwarg documentation - JDH

2006-12-28 Improved error message for nonpositive input to log
transform; added log kwarg to bar, barh, and hist,
and modified bar method to behave sensibly by default
when the ordinate has a log scale. (This only works
if the log scale is set before or by the call to bar,
hence the utility of the log kwarg.) - EF

2006-12-27 backend_cairo.py: update draw_image() and _draw_mathtext() to work
with numpy - SC

2006-12-20 Fixed xpdf dependency check, which was failing on windows.
Removed ps2eps dependency check. - DSD

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

Axes.ticklabel_format() for turning scientific notation
on or off on either or both axes. - EF

2006-12-16 Added ability to turn control scientific notation
in ScalarFormatter - EF

2006-12-16 Enhanced boxplot to handle more flexible inputs - EF

2006-12-13 Replaced calls to where() in colors.py with much faster
clip() and putmask() calls; removed inappropriate
uses of getmaskorNone (which should be needed only
very rarely); all in response to profiling by
David Cournapeau. Also fixed bugs in my 2-D
array support from 12-09. - EF

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

2006-12-09 Added support for plotting 2-D arrays with plot:
columns are plotted as in Matlab - EF

2006-12-09 Added linewidth kwarg to bar and barh; fixed arg
checking bugs - EF

2006-12-07 Made pcolormesh argument handling match pcolor;
fixed kwarg handling problem noted by Pierre GM - EF

2006-12-06 Made pcolor support vector X and/or Y instead of
requiring 2-D arrays - EF

2006-12-05 Made the default Artist._transform None (rather than
invoking identity_transform for each artist only to have it
overridden later). Use artist.get_transform() rather than
artist._transform, even in derived classes, so that the
default transform will be created lazily as needed - JDH

2006-12-03 Added LogNorm to colors.py as illustrated by
examples/pcolor_log.py, based on suggestion by
Jim McDonald. Colorbar modified to handle LogNorm.
Norms have additional "inverse" method. - EF

2006-12-02 Changed class names in colors.py to match convention:
normalize -> Normalize, no_norm -> NoNorm. Old names
are still available.
Changed init.py rc defaults to match those in
matplotlibrc - EF

2006-11-22 Fixed bug in set_*lim that I had introduced on 11-15 - EF

2006-11-22 Added examples/clippedline.py, which shows how to clip line
data based on view limits -- it also changes the marker
style when zoomed in - JDH

2006-11-21 Some spy bug-fixes and added precision arg per Robert C's
suggestion - JDH

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

2006-11-17 Removed obsolete scatter_classic, leaving a stub to
raise NotImplementedError; same for pcolor_classic - EF

2006-11-15 Removed obsolete pcolor_classic - EF

2006-11-15 Fixed 1588908 reported by Russel Owen; factored
nonsingular method out of ticker.py, put it into
transforms.py as a function, and used it in
set_xlim and set_ylim. - EF

2006-11-14 Applied patch 1591716 by Ulf Larssen to fix a bug in
apply_aspect. Modified and applied patch
1594894 by mdehoon to fix bugs and improve
formatting in lines.py. Applied patch 1573008
by Greg Willden to make psd etc. plot full frequency
range for complex inputs. - EF

2006-11-14 Improved the ability of the colorbar to track
changes in corresponding image, pcolor, or
contourf. - EF

2006-11-11 Fixed bug that broke Numeric compatibility;
added support for alpha to colorbar. The
alpha information is taken from the mappable
object, not specified as a kwarg. - EF

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

2006-11-05 Removed lineprops and markerprops from the Annotation code
and replaced them with an arrow configurable with kwarg
arrowprops. See examples/annotation_demo.py - JDH

2006-11-02 Fixed a pylab subplot bug that was causing axes to be
deleted with hspace or wspace equals zero in
subplots_adjust - JDH

2006-10-31 Applied axes3d patch 1587359
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&amp;aid=1587359&amp;group_id=80706&amp;atid=560722
JDH

2006-10-25 Made "tiny" kwarg in Locator.nonsingular much smaller - EF

2006-10-17 Closed sf bug 1562496 update line props dash/solid/cap/join
styles - JDH

2006-10-17 Complete overhaul of the annotations API and example code -
See matplotlib.text.Annotation and
examples/annotation_demo.py JDH

2006-10-12 Committed Manuel Metz's StarPolygon code and
examples/scatter_star_poly.py - JDH

2006-10-11 commented out all default values in matplotlibrc.template
Default values should generally be taken from defaultParam in
init.py - the file matplotlib should only contain those values
that the user wants to explicitly change from the default.
(see thread "marker color handling" on matplotlib-devel)

2006-10-10 Changed default comment character for load to '' - JDH

2006-10-10 deactivated rcfile-configurability of markerfacecolor
and markeredgecolor. Both are now hardcoded to the special value
'auto' to follow the line color. Configurability at run-time
(using function arguments) remains functional. - NN

2006-10-07 introduced dummy argument magnification=1.0 to
FigImage.make_image to satisfy unit test figimage_demo.py
The argument is not yet handled correctly, which should only
show up when using non-standard DPI settings in PS backend,
introduced by patch 1562394. - NN

2006-10-06 add backend-agnostic example: simple3d.py - NN

2006-09-29 fix line-breaking for SVG-inline images (purely cosmetic) - NN

2006-09-29 reworked set_linestyle and set_marker
markeredgecolor and markerfacecolor now default to
a special value "auto" that keeps the color in sync with
the line color
further, the intelligence of axes.plot is cleaned up,
improved and simplified. Complete compatibility cannot be
guaranteed, but the new behavior should be much more predictable
(see patch 1104615 for details) - NN

2006-09-29 changed implementation of clip-path in SVG to work around a
limitation in inkscape - NN

2006-09-29 added two options to matplotlibrc:
svg.image_inline
svg.image_noscale
see patch 1533010 for details - NN

2006-09-29 axes.py: cleaned up kwargs checking - NN

2006-09-29 setup.py: cleaned up setup logic - NN

2006-09-29 setup.py: check for required pygtk versions, fixes bug 1460783 - SC

2006-09-27 Released 0.87.6 at revision 2783

2006-09-24 Added line pointers to the Annotation code, and a pylab
interface. See matplotlib.text.Annotation,
examples/annotation_demo.py and
examples/annotation_demo_pylab.py - JDH

2006-09-18 mathtext2.py: The SVG backend now supports the same things that
the AGG backend does. Fixed some bugs with rendering, and out of
bounds errors in the AGG backend - ES. Changed the return values
of math_parse_s_ft2font_svg to support lines (fractions etc.)

2006-09-17 Added an Annotation class to facilitate annotating objects
and an examples file examples/annotation_demo.py. I want
to add dash support as in TextWithDash, but haven't decided
yet whether inheriting from TextWithDash is the right base
class or if another approach is needed - JDH

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

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 _ ^,

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

2006-07-07 Add compatibility for NumPy 1.0 - TEO

2006-06-29 Added a Qt4Agg backend. Thank you James Amundson - DSD

2006-06-26 Fixed a usetex bug. On windows, usetex will prcess
postscript output in the current directory rather than
in a temp directory. This is due to the use of spaces
and tildes in windows paths, which cause problems with
latex. The subprocess module is no longer used. - DSD

2006-06-22 Various changes to bar(), barh(), and hist().
Added 'edgecolor' keyword arg to bar() and barh().
The x and y args in barh() have been renamed to width
and bottom respectively, and their order has been swapped
to maintain a (position, value) order ala matlab. left,
height, width and bottom args can now all be scalars or
sequences. barh() now defaults to edge alignment instead
of center alignment. Added a keyword arg 'align' to bar(),
barh() and hist() that controls between edge or center bar
alignment. Fixed ignoring the rcParams['patch.facecolor']
for bar color in bar() and barh(). Fixed ignoring the
rcParams['lines.color'] for error bar color in bar()
and barh(). Fixed a bug where patches would be cleared
when error bars were plotted if rcParams['axes.hold']
was False. - MAS

2006-06-22 Added support for numerix 2-D arrays as alternatives to
a sequence of (x,y) tuples for specifying paths in

Agg, PS

2005-12-03 Modified scipy patch to support Numeric, scipy and numarray

2005-11-27 Multiple changes in cm.py, colors.py, figure.py, image.py,
contour.py, contour_demo.py; new _cm.py, examples/image_masked.py.
1) Separated the color table data from cm.py out into
a new file, _cm.py, to make it easier to find the actual
code in cm.py and to add new colormaps. Also added
some line breaks to the color data dictionaries. Everything
from _cm.py is imported by cm.py, so the split should be
transparent.
2) Enabled automatic generation of a colormap from
a list of colors in contour; see modified
examples/contour_demo.py.
3) Support for imshow of a masked array, with the
ability to specify colors (or no color at all) for
masked regions, and for regions that are above or
below the normally mapped region. See
examples/image_masked.py.
4) In support of the above, added two new classes,
ListedColormap, and no_norm, to colors.py, and modified
the Colormap class to include common functionality. Added
a clip kwarg to the normalize class. Reworked color
handling in contour.py, especially in the ContourLabeller
mixin.

2005-07-07 Added Eric's MA set_xdata Line2D fix - JDH

2005-07-06 Made HOME/.matplotlib the new config dir where the
matplotlibrc file, the ttf.cache, and the tex.cache live.
The new default filenames in .matplotlib have no leading
dot and are not hidden. e.g., the new names are matplotlibrc
tex.cache ttffont.cache. This is how ipython does it so it
must be right. If old files are found, a warning is issued
and they are moved to the new location. Also fixed
texmanager to put all files, including temp files in
~/.matplotlib/tex.cache, which allows you to usetex in
non-writable dirs.

2005-07-05 Fixed bug 1231611 in subplots adjust layout. The problem
was that the text cacheing mechanism was not using the
transformation affine in the key. - JDH

2005-07-05 Fixed default backend import problem when using API (SF bug
1209354 - see API_CHANGES for more info - JDH

2005-07-04 backend_gtk.py: require PyGTK version 2.0.0 or higher - SC

2005-06-30 setupext.py: added numarray_inc_dirs for building against
numarray when not installed in standard location - ADS

2005-06-27 backend_svg.py: write figure width, height as int, not float.
Update to fix some of the pychecker warnings - SC

2005-06-23 Updated examples/agg_test.py to demonstrate curved paths
and fills - JDH

2005-06-21 Moved some texmanager and backend_agg tex caching to class
level rather than instance level - JDH

2005-06-20 setupext.py: fix problem where _nc_backend_gdk is installed to the
wrong directory - SC

2005-06-19 Added 10.4 support for CocoaAgg. - CM

2005-06-18 Move Figure.get_width_height() to FigureCanvasBase and return
int instead of float. - SC

2005-06-18 Applied Ted Drain's QtAgg patch: 1) Changed the toolbar to
be a horizontal bar of push buttons instead of a QToolbar
and updated the layout algorithms in the main window
accordingly. This eliminates the ability to drag and drop
the toolbar and detach it from the window. 2) Updated the
resize algorithm in the main window to show the correct
size for the plot widget as requested. This works almost
correctly right now. It looks to me like the final size of
the widget is off by the border of the main window but I
haven't figured out a way to get that information yet. We
could just add a small margin to the new size but that
seems a little hacky. 3) Changed the x/y location label to
be in the toolbar like the Tk backend instead of as a
status line at the bottom of the widget. 4) Changed the
toolbar pixmaps to use the ppm files instead of the png
files. I noticed that the Tk backend buttons looked much
nicer and it uses the ppm files so I switched them.

2005-06-17 Modified the gtk backend to not queue mouse motion events.
This allows for live updates when dragging a slider. - CM

2005-06-17 Added starter CocoaAgg backend. Only works on OS 10.3 for
now and requires PyObjC. (10.4 is high priority) - CM

2005-06-17 Upgraded pyparsing and applied Paul McGuire's suggestions
for speeding things up. This more than doubles the speed
of mathtext in my simple tests. JDH

2005-06-16 Applied David Cooke's subplot make_key patch

2005-06-15 0.82 released

2005-06-15 Added subplot config tool to GTK* backends -- note you must
now import the NavigationToolbar2 from your backend of
choice rather than from backend_gtk because it needs to
know about the backend specific canvas -- see
examples/embedding_in_gtk2.py. Ditto for wx backend -- see
examples/embedding_in_wxagg.py

2005-06-15 backend_cairo.py: updated to use pycairo 0.5.0 - SC

2005-06-14 Wrote some GUI neutral widgets (Button, Slider,
RadioButtons, CheckButtons) in matplotlib.widgets. See
examples/widgets/*.py - JDH

2005-06-14 Exposed subplot parameters as rc vars and as the fig
SubplotParams instance subplotpars. See
figure.SubplotParams, figure.Figure.subplots_adjust and the
pylab method subplots_adjust and
examples/subplots_adjust.py . Also added a GUI neutral
widget for adjusting subplots, see
examples/subplot_toolbar.py - JDH

2005-06-13 Exposed cap and join style for lines with new rc params and
line properties

   lines.dash_joinstyle : miter         miter|round|bevel
   lines.dash_capstyle : butt           butt|round|projecting
   lines.solid_joinstyle : miter        miter|round|bevel
   lines.solid_capstyle : projecting    butt|round|projecting

2005-06-13 Added kwargs to Axes init

2005-06-13 Applied Baptiste's tick patch - JDH

2005-06-13 Fixed rc alias 'l' bug reported by Fernando by removing
aliases for mainlevel rc options. - JDH

2005-06-07 Fixed a bug in texmanager.py: .aux files not being removed - DSD

2005-06-08 Added Sean Richard's hist binning fix -- see API_CHANGES - JDH

2005-06-07 Fixed a bug in texmanager.py: .aux files not being removed
- DSD

2005-06-07 matplotlib-0.81 released

2005-06-06 Added autoscale_on prop to axes

2005-06-06 Added Nick's picker "among" patch - JDH

2005-06-05 Fixed a TeX/LaTeX font discrepency in backend_ps. - DSD

2005-06-05 Added a ps.distill option in rc settings. If True, postscript
output will be distilled using ghostscript, which should trim
the file size and allow it to load more quickly. Hopefully this
will address the issue of large ps files due to font
definitions. Tested with gnu-ghostscript-8.16. - DSD

2005-06-03 Improved support for tex handling of text in backend_ps. - DSD

2005-06-03 Added rc options to render text with tex or latex, and to select
the latex font package. - DSD

2005-06-03 Fixed a bug in ticker.py causing a ZeroDivisionError

2005-06-02 backend_gtk.py remove DBL_BUFFER, add line to expose_event to
try to fix pygtk 2.6 redraw problem - SC

2005-06-01 The default behavior of ScalarFormatter now renders scientific
notation and large numerical offsets in a label at the end of
the axis. - DSD

2005-06-01 Added Nicholas' frombyte image patch - JDH

2005-05-31 Added vertical TeX support for agg - JDH

2005-05-31 Applied Eric's cntr patch - JDH

2005-05-27 Finally found the pesky agg bug (which Maxim was kind
enough to fix within hours) that was causing a segfault in
the win32 cached marker drawing. Now windows users can get
the enormouse performance benefits of caced markers w/o
those occasional pesy screenshots. - JDH

2005-05-27 Got win32 build system working again, using a more recent
version of gtk and pygtk in the win32 build, gtk 2.6 from
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html (you
will also need libpng12.dll to use these). I haven't
tested whether this binary build of mpl for win32 will work
with older gtk runtimes, so you may need to upgrade.

2005-05-27 Fixed bug where 2nd wxapp could be started if using wxagg
backend. - ADS

2005-05-26 Added Daishi text with dash patch -- see examples/dashtick.py

2005-05-26 Moved backend_latex functionality into backend_ps. If
text.usetex=True, the PostScript backend will use LaTeX to
generate the .ps or .eps file. Ghostscript is required for
eps output. - DSD

2005-05-24 Fixed alignment and color issues in latex backend. - DSD

2005-05-21 Fixed raster problem for small rasters with dvipng -- looks
like it was a premultipled alpha problem - JDH

2005-05-20 Added linewidth and faceted kwarg to scatter to control
edgewidth and color. Also added autolegend patch to
inspect line segments.

2005-05-18 Added Orsay and JPL qt fixes - JDH

2005-05-17 Added a psfrag latex backend -- some alignment issues need
to be worked out. Run with -dLaTeX and a .tex file and
*.eps file are generated. latex and dvips the generated
latex file to get ps output. Note xdvi *does not work,
you must generate ps.- JDH

2005-05-13 Added Florent Rougon's Axis set_label1
patch

2005-05-17 pcolor optimization, fixed bug in previous pcolor patch - JSWHIT

2005-05-16 Added support for masked arrays in pcolor - JSWHIT

2005-05-12 Started work on TeX text for antigrain using pngdvi -- see
examples/tex_demo.py and the new module
matplotlib.texmanager. Rotated text not supported and
rendering small glyps is not working right yet. BUt large
fontsizes and/or high dpi saved figs work great.

2005-05-10 New image resize options interpolation options. New values
for the interp kwarg are

      &#39;nearest&#39;, &#39;bilinear&#39;, &#39;bicubic&#39;, &#39;spline16&#39;, &#39;spline36&#39;,
      &#39;hanning&#39;, &#39;hamming&#39;, &#39;hermite&#39;, &#39;kaiser&#39;, &#39;quadric&#39;,
      &#39;catrom&#39;, &#39;gaussian&#39;, &#39;bessel&#39;, &#39;mitchell&#39;, &#39;sinc&#39;,
      &#39;lanczos&#39;, &#39;blackman&#39;

      See help(imshow) for details, particularly the
      interpolation, filternorm and filterrad kwargs

2005-05-10 Applied Eric's contour mem leak fixes - JDH

2005-05-10 Extended python agg wrapper and started implementing
backend_agg2, an agg renderer based on the python wrapper.
This will be more flexible and easier to extend than the
current backend_agg. See also examples/agg_test.py - JDH

2005-05-09 Added Marcin's no legend patch to exclude lines from the
autolegend builder

      plot(x, y, label=&#39;nolegend&#39;)

2005-05-05 Upgraded to agg23

2005-05-05 Added newscalarformatter_demo.py to examples. -DSD

where keyboard input was grabbed by the figure and not
released 2) turn on cursor changes 3) clean up a typo
and commented-out print statement. - JDH

2005-04-14 Applied Eric Firing's masked data lines patch and contour
patch. Support for masked arrays has been added to the
plot command and to the Line2D object. Only the valid
points are plotted. A "valid_only" kwarg was added to the
get_xdata() and get_ydata() methods of Line2D; by default
it is False, so that the original data arrays are
returned. Setting it to True returns the plottable points.
- see examples/masked_demo.py - JDH

2005-04-13 Applied Tim Leslie's arrow key event handling patch - JDH

0.80

2005-04-11 Applied a variant of rick's xlim/ylim/axis patch. These
functions now take kwargs to let you selectively alter only
the min or max if desired. e.g., xlim(xmin=2) or
axis(ymax=3). They always return the new lim. - JDH

2005-04-11 Incorporated Werner's wx patch -- wx backend should be
compatible with wxpython2.4 and recent versions of 2.5.
Some early versions of wxpython 2.5 will not work because
there was a temporary change in the dc API that was rolled
back to make it 2.4 compliant

2005-04-11 modified tkagg show so that new figure window pops up on
call to figure

2005-04-11 fixed wxapp init bug

2005-04-02 updated backend_ps.draw_lines, draw_markers for use with the
new API - DSD

2005-03-28 Added label kwarg to Axes to facilitate forcing the
creation of new Axes with otherwise identical attributes

2005-03-28 Applied boxplot and OSX font search patches

2005-03-27 Added ft2font NULL check to fix Japanase font bug - JDH

2005-03-18 0.73 released

2005-03-16 Fixed labelsep bug

2005-03-16 Applied Darren's ticker fix for small ranges - JDH

2005-03-16 Fixed tick on horiz colorbar - JDH

2005-03-16 Added Japanses winreg patch - JDH

2005-03-15 backend_gtkagg.py: changed to use double buffering, this fixes
the problem reported Joachim Berdal Haga - "Parts of plot lagging
from previous frame in animation". Tested with anim.py and it makes
no noticable difference to performance (23.7 before, 23.6 after)
- SC

2005-03-14 add src/_backend_gdk.c extension to provide a substitute function
for pixbuf.get_pixels_array(). Currently pixbuf.get_pixels_array()
only works with Numeric, and then only works if pygtk has been
compiled with Numeric support. The change provides a function
pixbuf_get_pixels_array() which works with Numeric and numarray and
is always available. It means that backend_gtk should be able to
display images and mathtext in all circumstances. - SC

0.70

2004-12-28 Added coord location to key press and added a
examples/picker_demo.py

2004-12-28 Fixed coords notification in wx toolbar - JDH

2004-12-28 Moved connection and disconnection event handling to the
FigureCanvasBase. Backends now only need to connect one
time for each of the button press, button release and key
press/release functions. The base class deals with
callbacks and multiple connections. This fixes flakiness
on some backends (tk, wx) in the presence of multiple
connections and/or disconnect - JDH

2004-12-27 Fixed PS mathtext bug where color was not set - Jochen
please verify correct - JDH

2004-12-27 Added Shadow class and added shadow kwarg to legend and pie
for shadow effect - JDH

2004-12-27 Added pie charts and new example/pie_demo.py

to explain and demonstrate how text rotations and alignment
work in matplotlib. - JDH

2004-12-22 0.65.1 released - JDH

2004-12-22 Fixed colorbar bug which caused colorbar not to respond to
changes in colormap in some instances - JDH

2004-12-22 Refactored NavigationToolbar in tkagg to support app
embedding , init now takes (canvas, window) rather than
(canvas, figman) - JDH

2004-12-21 Refactored axes and subplot management - removed
add_subplot and add_axes from the FigureManager. classic
toolbar updates are done via an observer pattern on the
figure using add_axobserver. Figure now maintains the axes
stack (for gca) and supports axes deletion. Ported changes
to GTK, Tk, Wx, and FLTK. Please test! Added delaxes - JDH

2004-12-21 Lots of image optimizations - 4x performance boost over
0.65 JDH

2004-12-20 Fixed a figimage bug where the axes is shown and modified
tkagg to move the destroy binding into the show method.

2004-12-18 Minor refactoring of NavigationToolbar2 to support
embedding in an application - JDH

2004-12-14 Added linestyle to collections (currently broken) - JDH

2004-12-14 Applied Nadia's setupext patch to fix libstdc++ link
problem with contour and solaris -JDH

2004-12-14 A number of pychecker inspired fixes, including removal of
True and False from cbook which I erroneously thought was
needed for python2.2 - JDH

2004-12-14 Finished porting doc strings for set introspection.
Used silent_list for many get funcs that return
lists. JDH

2004-12-13 dates.py: removed all timezone() calls, except for UTC - SC

2004-12-13 0.65 released - JDH

2004-12-13 colors.py: rgb2hex(), hex2color() made simpler (and faster), also
rgb2hex() - added round() instead of integer truncation
hex2color() - changed 256.0 divisor to 255.0, so now
'ffffff' becomes (1.0,1.0,1.0) not (0.996,0.996,0.996) - SC

2004-12-11 Added ion and ioff to pylab interface - JDH

2004-12-11 backend_template.py: delete FigureCanvasTemplate.realize() - most
backends don't use it and its no longer needed

      backend_ps.py, backend_svg.py: delete show() and
      draw_if_interactive() - they are not needed for image backends

      backend_svg.py: write direct to file instead of StringIO
      - SC

2004-12-10 Added zorder to artists to control drawing order of lines,
patches and text in axes. See examples/zoder_demo.py - JDH

2004-12-10 Fixed colorbar bug with scatter - JDH

2004-12-10 Added Nadia Dencheva <denchevastsci.edu> contour code - JDH

2004-12-09 Migrated matlab to pylab - JDH

2004-12-09 backend_gtk.py: split into two parts
- backend_gdk.py - an image backend
- backend_gtk.py - A GUI backend that uses GDK - SC

2004-12-08 backend_gtk.py: remove quit_after_print_xvfb(*args), show_xvfb(),
Dialog_MeasureTool(gtk.Dialog) one month after sending mail to
matplotlib-users asking if anyone still uses these functions - SC

2004-12-02 backend_bases.py, backend_template.py: updated some of the method
documentation to make them consistent with each other - SC

2004-12-04 Fixed multiple bindings per event for TkAgg mpl_connect and
mpl_disconnect. Added a "test_disconnect" command line
parameter to coords_demo.py JTM

2004-12-04 Fixed some legend bugs JDH

2004-11-30 Added over command for oneoff over plots. e.g., over(plot, x,
y, lw=2). Works with any plot function.

2004-11-30 Added bbox property to text - JDH

2004-11-29 Zoom to rect now respect reversed axes limits (for both
linear and log axes). - GL

2004-11-29 Added the over command to the matlab interface. over
allows you to add an overlay plot regardless of hold
state. - JDH

2004-11-25 Added Printf to mplutils for printf style format string
formatting in C++ (should help write better exceptions)

2004-11-24 IMAGE_FORMAT: remove from agg and gtkagg backends as its no longer
used - SC

2004-11-23 Added matplotlib compatible set and get introspection. See
set_and_get.py

to kwargs - JDH

2004-11-23 backend_gtk.py: added a default exception handler - SC

2004-11-18 backend_gtk.py: change so that the backend knows about all image
formats and does not need to use IMAGE_FORMAT in other backends - SC

2004-11-18 Fixed some report_error bugs in string interpolation as
reported on SF bug tracker- JDH

2004-11-17 backend_gtkcairo.py: change so all print_figure() calls render using
Cairo and get saved using backend_gtk.print_figure() - SC

2004-11-13 backend_cairo.py: Discovered the magic number (96) required for
Cairo PS plots to come out the right size. Restored Cairo PS output
and added support for landscape mode - SC

2004-11-13 Added ishold - JDH

2004-11-12 Added many new matlab colormaps - autumn bone cool copper
flag gray hot hsv jet pink prism spring summer winter - PG

2004-11-11 greatly simplify the emitted postscript code - JV

2004-11-12 Added new plotting functions spy, spy2 for sparse matrix
visualization - JDH

2004-11-11 Added rgrids, thetragrids for customizing the grid
locations and labels for polar plots - JDH

2004-11-11 make the Gtk backends build without an X-server connection - JV

2004-11-10 matplotlib/init.py: Added FROZEN to signal we are running under
py2exe (or similar) - is used by backend_gtk.py - SC

2004-11-09 backend_gtk.py: Made fix suggested by maffewcat.org.au
to prevent problems when py2exe calls pygtk.require(). - SC

2004-11-09 backend_cairo.py: Added support for printing to a fileobject.
Disabled cairo PS output which is not working correctly. - SC

2004-11-08 matplotlib-0.64 released

2004-11-04 Changed -dbackend processing to only use known backends, so
we don't clobber other non-matplotlib uses of -d, like -debug.

2004-11-04 backend_agg.py: added IMAGE_FORMAT to list the formats that the
backend can save to.
backend_gtkagg.py: added support for saving JPG files by using the
GTK backend - SC

2004-10-31 backend_cairo.py: now produces png and ps files (although the figure
sizing needs some work). pycairo did not wrap all the necessary
functions, so I wrapped them myself, they are included in the
backend_cairo.py doc string. - SC

2004-10-31 backend_ps.py: clean up the generated PostScript code, use
the PostScript stack to hold itermediate values instead of
storing them in the dictionary. - JV

2004-10-30 backend_ps.py, ft2font.cpp, ft2font.h: fix the position of
text in the PostScript output. The new FT2Font method
get_descent gives the distance between the lower edge of
the bounding box and the baseline of a string. In
backend_ps the text is shifted upwards by this amount. - JV

2004-10-30 backend_ps.py: clean up the code a lot. Change the
PostScript output to be more DSC compliant. All
definitions for the generated PostScript are now in a
PostScript dictionary 'mpldict'. Moved the long comment
about drawing ellipses from the PostScript output into a
Python comment. - JV

2004-10-30 backend_gtk.py: removed FigureCanvasGTK.realize() as its no longer
needed. Merged ColorManager into GraphicsContext
backend_bases.py: For set_capstyle/joinstyle() only set cap or
joinstyle if there is no error. - SC

2004-10-30 backend_gtk.py: tidied up print_figure() and removed some of the
dependency on widget events - SC

2004-10-28 backend_cairo.py: The renderer is complete except for mathtext,
draw_image() and clipping. gtkcairo works reasonably well. cairo
does not yet create any files since I can't figure how to set the
'target surface', I don't think pycairo wraps the required functions
- SC

2004-10-28 backend_gtk.py: Improved the save dialog (GTK 2.4 only) so it
presents the user with a menu of supported image formats - SC

2004-10-28 backend_svg.py: change print_figure() to restore original face/edge
color
backend_ps.py : change print_figure() to ensure original face/edge
colors are restored even if there's an IOError - SC

2004-10-27 Applied Norbert's errorbar patch to support barsabove kwarg

2004-10-27 Applied Norbert's legend patch to support None handles

2004-10-19 Re-worked exception handling in _image.py and _transforms.py
to avoid masking problems with shared libraries. - JTM

2004-10-16 Streamlined the matlab interface wrapper, removed the
noplot option to hist - just use mlab.hist instead.

2004-09-30 Added Andrew Dalke's strftime code to extend the range of
dates supported by the DateFormatter - JDH

2004-09-30 Added barh - JDH

2004-09-30 Made some changes to support python22 - lots of doc
fixes. - JDH

2004-09-29 Added a Verbose class for reporting - JDH

0.63.0

2004-09-28 Added save to file object for agg - see
examples/print_stdout.py

2004-09-24 Reorganized all py code to lib subdir

2004-09-24 Fixed axes resize image edge effects on interpolation -
required upgrade to agg22 which fixed an agg bug related to
this problem

2004-09-20 Added toolbar2 message display for backend_tkagg. JTM

2004-09-17 Added coords formatter attributes. These must be callable,
and return a string for the x or y data. These will be used
to format the x and y data for the coords box. Default is
the axis major formatter. e.g.:

     format the coords message box
    def price(x): return &#39;$%1.2f&#39;%x
    ax.format_xdata = DateFormatter(&#39;%Y-%m-%d&#39;)
    ax.format_ydata = price

2004-09-17 Total rewrite of dates handling to use python datetime with
num2date, date2num and drange. pytz for timezone handling,
dateutils for spohisticated ticking. date ranges from
0001-9999 are supported. rrules allow arbitrary date
ticking. examples/date_demo*.py converted to show new
usage. new example examples/date_demo_rrule.py shows how
to use rrules in date plots. The date locators are much
more general and almost all of them have different
constructors. See matplotlib.dates for more info.

2004-09-15 Applied Fernando's backend init patch to support easier
backend maintenance. Added his numutils to mlab. JDH

2004-09-16 Re-designated all files in matplotlib/images as binary and
w/o keyword substitution using "cvs admin -kb *.svg ...".
See binary files in "info cvs" under Linux. This was messing
up builds from CVS on windows since CVS was doing lf -> cr/lf
and keyword substitution on the bitmaps. - JTM

2004-09-15 Modified setup to build array-package-specific extensions
for those extensions which are array-aware. Setup builds
extensions automatically for either Numeric, numarray, or
both, depending on what you have installed. Python proxy
modules for the array-aware extensions import the version
optimized for numarray or Numeric determined by numerix.
- JTM

This is the Old, stale, never used changelog

2002-12-10 - Added a TODO file and CHANGELOG. Lots to do -- get
crackin'!

      - Fixed y zoom tool bug

      - Adopted a compromise fix for the y data clipping problem.
        The problem was that for solid lines, the y data clipping
        (as opposed to the gc clipping) caused artifactual
        horizontal solid lines near the ylim boundaries.  I did a
        5% offset hack in Axes set_ylim functions which helped,
        but didn&#39;t cure the problem for very high gain y zooms.
        So I disabled y data clipping for connected lines .  If
        you need extensive y clipping, either plot(y,x) because x
        data clipping is always enabled, or change the _set_clip
        code to &#39;if 1&#39; as indicated in the lines.py src.  See
        _set_clip in lines.py and set_ylim in figure.py for more
        information.

2002-12-11 - Added a measurement dialog to the figure window to
measure axes position and the delta x delta y with a left
mouse drag. These defaults can be overridden by deriving
from Figure and overrriding button_press_event,
button_release_event, and motion_notify_event,
and _dialog_measure_tool.

      - fixed the navigation dialog so you can check the axes the
        navigation buttons apply to.

0.40

2003-11-20 - problem with stale _set_font. legend axes box
doesn't resize on save in GTK backend -- see htdocs legend_demo.py

2003-11-21 - make a dash-dot dict for the GC

2003-12-15 - fix install path bug

0.1

2003-04-24 Added a new line style PixelLine2D which is the plots the
markers as pixels (as small as possible) with format
symbol ','

      Added a new class Patch with derived classes Rectangle,
      RegularPolygon and Circle

2003-04-25 Implemented new functions errorbar, scatter and hist

      Added a new line type &#39;|&#39; which is a vline.  syntax is
  plot(x, Y, &#39;|&#39;) where y.shape = len(x),2 and each row gives
  the ymin,ymax for the respective values of x.  Previously I
  had implemented vlines as a list of lines, but I needed the
  efficientcy of the numeric clipping for large numbers of
  vlines outside the viewport, so I wrote a dedicated class
  Vline2D which derives from Line2D

2003-05-01

Fixed ytick bug where grid and tick show outside axis viewport with gc clip

2003-05-14

Added new ways to specify colors 1) matlab format string 2)
html-style hex string, 3) rgb tuple. See examples/color_demo.py

2003-05-28

Changed figure rendering to draw form a pixmap to reduce flicker.
See examples/system_monitor.py for an example where the plot is
continusouly updated w/o flicker. This example is meant to
simulate a system monitor that shows free CPU, RAM, etc...

2003-08-04

Added Jon Anderson's GTK shell, which doesn't require pygtk to
have threading built-in and looks nice!

2003-08-25

Fixed deprecation warnings for python2.3 and pygtk-1.99.18

2003-08-26

Added figure text with new example examples/figtext.py

2003-08-27

Fixed bugs i figure text with font override dictionairies and fig
text that was placed outside the window bounding box

2003-09-1 thru 2003-09-15

Added a postscript and a GD module backend

2003-09-16

Fixed font scaling and point scaling so circles, squares, etc on
lines will scale with DPI as will fonts. Font scaling is not fully
implemented on the gtk backend because I have not figured out how
to scale fonts to arbitrary sizes with GTK

2003-09-17

Fixed figure text bug which crashed X windows on long figure text
extending beyond display area. This was, I believe, due to the
vestigial erase functionality that was no longer needed since I
began rendering to a pixmap

2003-09-30 Added legend

2003-10-01 Fixed bug when colors are specified with rgb tuple or hex
string.

2003-10-21 Andrew Straw provided some legend code which I modified
and incorporated. Thanks Andrew!

2003-10-27 Fixed a bug in axis.get_view_distance that affected zoom in
versus out with interactive scrolling, and a bug in the axis text
reset system that prevented the text from being redrawn on a
interactive gtk view lim set with the widget

Fixed a bug in that prevented the manual setting of ticklabel
strings from working properly

2003-11-02 - Do a nearest neighbor color pick on GD when
allocate fails

2003-11-02

  • Added pcolor plot
  • Added MRI example
  • Fixed bug that screwed up label position if xticks or yticks were
    empty
  • added nearest neighbor color picker when GD max colors exceeded

2003-11-10 - 2003-11-11

  • major refactoring.
    • Ticks (with labels, lines and grid) handled by dedicated class
    • Artist now know bounding box and dpi
    • Bounding boxes and transforms handled by dedicated classes
    • legend in dedicated class. Does a better job of alignment and
      bordering. Can be initialized with specific line instances.
      See examples/legend_demo2.py

2003-11-14 Fixed legend positioning bug and added new position args

2003-11-16 Finsihed porting GD to new axes API

2003-11-20 - add TM for matlab on website and in docs

2003-11-20 - make a nice errorbar and scatter screenshot

2003-11-20 - auto line style cycling for multiple line types
broken

2003-11-18 (using inkrect) :logical rect too big on gtk backend

2003-11-18 ticks don't reach edge of axes in gtk mode --
rounding error?

elpy -> 1.12.0

1.12.0

  • Some symbols can now be completed with parentheses after them,
    useful for functions. The heuristic for when to add parentheses and
    not is not optimal, so this is not enabled by default—customize
    elpy-company-post-completion-function to enable this feature.
  • Support dedicated Python shells (one per Python file). You can
    customized elpy-dedicated-shells to make this the default.
  • Elpy now uses python -m pip instead of pip directly to improve
    interaction with virtualenvs.
  • Support for Python 2.6 has been officially dropped.
  • Display for backend errors has been disabled by default. Jedi has
    not had a release in a long while, and many bugs have been unfixed.
    These errors have only caused added workload for Elpy maintainers.
    The option will be reverted once Jedi has had a new release.

1.11.0

  • Elpy now supports yapf to format your code.
  • You can now adjust whether Elpy should hide modes from the mode line
    or not using elpy-remove-modeline-lighter
  • When the new option elpy-disable-backend-error-display is set,
    Elpy will not show its error pop-up anymore. This can be useful if
    you run into an annoying bug in Jedi, for example.
  • New command elpy-goto-definition-other-window on C-x 4 M-..
  • Expanding super now gives the short form supported in Python 3.
  • All Rope errors are now caught, as the upstream maintainers did not
    show interest in distinguishing between malformed input and bugs in
    their library.

1.10.0

  • Marking the current indentation level at the top level will now mark
    the whole buffer.
  • The region will be normalized before re-indenting it, making the
    behavior more predictable for partially marked lines.
  • Using autopep8 on the whole buffer will now keep point (roughly) at
    the same location as it was.
  • The autopep8 code now also uses the same configuration options as
    the command line tool.
  • Malformed JSON data from the backend is now handled better.
  • RPC processes are restarted when the current virtualenv changes.
  • Python 3.5 is now officially supported.
  • Flymake will now not be enabled in buffers without file name, where
    it can't run anyhow, or when the checker program does not exist in
    the first place.
  • It is now possible to ask Elpy not to remove the mode line lighter
    of company mode, which can be useful if you use company in other
    modes.
  • Test discovery now also allows file names without "test" in them to
    be tested. Classes and methods still require the substring, though.
  • Spurious equals signs at the end of completions from Jedi will now
    be ignored.
  • Various other bug fixes.

1.9.0

  • Elpy now supports the autopep8 library for automatically
    formatting Python code. All refactoring-related code is now grouped
    under C-c C-r. Use C-c C-r i to fix up imports using
    importmagic, C-c C-r p to fix up Python code with autopep8, and
    C-c C-r r to bring up the old Rope refactoring menu.
  • C-c C-b will now select a region containing surrounding lines of
    the current indentation or more.
  • C-c C-z in a Python shell will now switch back to the last
    Python buffer, allowing to use the key to cycle back and forth
    between the Python buffer and shell.
  • The pattern used for C-c C-s is now customizeable in
    elpy-rgrep-file-pattern.
  • &lt;C-return&gt; now can be used to send the current statement to the
    Python shell. Be careful, this can break with nested statements.
  • The Elpy minor mode now also works in modes derived from
    python-mode, not just in the mode itself.

1.8.1

  • Ignore a KeyError from Jedi 0.9.0 which occurs a lot in normal
    code.

1.8.0

  • Emacs 24.5 is now officially supported
  • The new configuration option elpy-rpc-ignored-buffer-size defines a maximum buffer size to be handle completion in, to avoid laggy interaction in unusually large files
  • Indentation block movement was replaced with code that just moves the marked block or the current line; this should be a lot less magical and more predictable
  • Running the test at point now correctly ignores any inner methods
  • Jedi docstrings now show the full name of the object
  • The RPC interpreter is now chosen correctly on cygwin
  • elpy-shell-send-region-or-buffer now warns of tabs in the data being sent
  • Elpy now binds stdout and stderr to /dev/null to avoid being confused by spurious output from other libraries
  • RPC buffers (and processes) are removed after some time to avoid them piling up endlessly
  • It is not possibly anymore to use customize alone to use ipython, because of some bad interaction between custom options in Elpy and python.el
  • And lots of bugfixes (50 issues closed!)

1.7.1

  • Do not fail on errors from importmagic.
  • Handle new minor mode behavior of new versions of yasnippet.
  • Do use the argument to elpy-use-ipython correctly.
  • Handle unexpected data from the backend more gracefully.

1.7.0

  • Elpy now can add missing import directives automatically, by using
    Alec Thomas' excellent importmagic_ library. Use C-c C-m to add
    a single import statement, or C-c C-S-m to include all missing
    import statements. Many thanks to Georg Brandl for doing a lot of
    work to bring this feature to Elpy!
  • The Jedi backend now also supports C-c C-d to display a
    docstring. Thanks again to Georg Brandl for the patch.
  • It is now possible to disable the display of the current function in
    the echo area by setting elpy-eldoc-show-current-function to
    nil.
  • idomenu was removed.
  • Twisted's Trial test runner is now supported. Thanks to Elric Milon
    for the patch!
  • All test runners now use a variable to decide which command to run,
    which for example allows using manage.py for the Django test
    runner, or your own test script which sets up the environment
    correctly.
  • Emacs 24.4 is now officially supported.
  • Various bugfixes.

.. _importmagic: https://github.com/alecthomas/importmagic

1.6.0

  • When point is on a line with a flymake error, Elpy will now show the
    error in the echo area.
  • The movement commands (C-&lt;cursor&gt;) have been reworked again.
    Going left and right will now move by indentation levels left of the
    current indentation, i.e. jump four spaces, and by words right of
    the current indentation. Going up and down will go to the previous
    or next line with the indentation level point is at, not the
    indentation the line has. Try it, it's more difficult to explain
    than to use.
  • Completion results are now sorted more sensibly, with
    single-underscore symbols at the end, and double-underscore symbols
    after normal symbols, but before single-underscore ones.
  • M-x elpy-config will now point out if there are newer versions
    available for packages used by Elpy.
  • M-x elpy-config will now warn if ~/.local/bin is not in
    PATH while there is no virtualenv active.
  • The M-x elpy-version command is back by popular demand.
  • RPC buffers used by Elpy are now hidden by default, having a space
    at the beginning of the name.
  • When the Rope library throws an error, Elpy will now also attempt to
    provide reproduction steps. This used to only happen for Jedi.
  • Various bug fixes.

1.5.1

  • Fix a bug where company-mode might get confused about the current
    backend, leading to an error about Symbol&#39;s function definition is void: nil
  • Fix Rope so it won’t search the whole project directory. This was an
    intended feature in v1.5 which did not work originally.
  • Use yas-text instead of text in snippets for compatibility
    with the unreleased yasnippet from MELPA (thanks to Daniel Wu!)

1.5.0

  • Elpy now has a manual_. Additionally, there's a menu bar now which
    should make it easier to discover Elpy features.
  • The Elpy Python package now ships with the Emacs Lisp package,
    removing the need to install Elpy via pip.
  • Python 3.4 is now officially supported.
  • The new command elpy-config can be used to configure Elpy using
    Emacs' built-in customize system. Elpy has been changed to make the
    most of this.
  • Elpy now uses company-mode instead of auto-complete for on-the-fly
    auto completion. This changes a few things. There is no automatic
    documentation popup anymore. Instead, you can type C-d and get
    the documentation buffer. In addition, you can type C-w to see
    the source of the current candidate in context.
  • Elpy now uses pyvenv as the virtualenv module, enabling
    virtualenvwrapper hooks.
  • We now ship with a large number of YASnippet snippets. Try M-x yas-insert-snippet.
  • The new unified test running interface on C-c C-t will try to
    determine the current test and run it, or, failing that, run all
    tests. Provide a prefix argument to just run all tests no matter
    what. You can change the test runner to be used using
    elpy-set-test-runner. Elpy supports the default unittest
    discover runner, the Django discover runner, nosetests and py.test
    by default. New test runners can easily be defined.
  • There's a new multi-edit functionality. C-c C-e will edit all
    occurrences of the symbol under point. When using Jedi, this is
    using semantic information as opposed to just syntactic one. When a
    region is active, edit all occurrences of the text in region in the
    current buffer.
  • When sending Python code to the interactive interpreter using C-c C-c, Elpy will now not automatically pop to the interpreter
    anymore. Use C-c C-z to switch to the interpreter.
  • Elpy will now display the current class and function if there is no
    call tip to be displayed. Removes the C-c C-q binding.
  • If there is a call tip, highlight the current argument (requires Jedi).
  • The documentation interface using C-c C-d is much smarter now,
    falling back to pydoc when necessary and providing sensible
    completion for that, too. Provide a prefix argument if you want no
    smarts, just pydoc.
  • &lt;S-return&gt; and &lt;C-S-return&gt; now open a line below or above
    the current one.
  • &lt;C-cursor&gt; will now navigate between Python blocks of the same
    indentation level. &lt;M-cursor&gt; will move the current block. Try
    it, it's easier to understand when you see it than to explain it.
  • There's a new concept of modules. The variable
    elpy-default-minor-modes is gone (use elpy-mode-hook for
    minor modes). Instead, there's now elpy-modules which can be
    used to enable or disable certain features of Elpy.
  • elpy-clean-modeline is gone, modules now clean themselves up.
  • Elpy now distinguishes between the project root, where project files
    are located, and the library root, which should be part of
    sys.path to import the module under development.
  • elpy-project-ignored-directories replaces the old
    elpy-rgrep-ignored-directories and is used by more features.
  • elpy-doc-websearch has been removed as it was barely useable
    as is.
  • Elpy now tries to be more helpful when errors in the backend happen.
    This removes elpy-rpc-traceback, as that will be displayed by
    default.
  • Optimizations were added to handle large files, making general
    interaction a lot faster.
  • When Rope is being used, do not search through unusually large
    directories. This should speed up interaction in those cases,
    especially when editing a file in the home directory.
  • And a whole lot of minor bug fixes and little improvements.

.. _manual: https://elpy.readthedocs.io/

1.4.2

  • Minor bugfix to prevent an error from projectile-project-root to
    interfere with Elpy’s project finding strategy.

1.4.1

  • Elpy now sets project-wide preferences for Rope, enabling completion
    in the sys package, among others.
  • An error is avoided in the Jedi backend when trying to go to symbols
    in compiled packages.
  • A compatibility alias was added for nose.el, which insists on
    breaking backwards compatibility with Emacs 24.x.

1.4.0

  • Elpy has moved to its own ELPA. Make sure to update your
    package-archives (as described above).
  • For a file in a Projectile-managed project is opened, Elpy will now
    use Projectile’s project root.
  • When the user has set a valid python-check-command, elpy will now
    refrain from overriding it.
  • On Windows, elpy is now using the pythonw.exe interpreter for the
    RPC process, as that seems to be causing fewer issues.
  • And various smaller bugfixes.

1.3.0

  • virtualenv.el has been replaced by pyvenv.el, as that library offers
    more features.
  • elpy-rpc-restart now works globally, not just in Elpy buffers.
  • Elpy does not try to complete in comments anymore.
  • The new command elpy-rpc-traceback gives access to the last stack
    trace in the Elpy backend, helping with debugging problems.
  • The flymake check function is now run with the current directory as
    / to avoid accidental imports.
  • Ensure correct handling of yas-snippet-dirs by Elpy. This variable
    can be a string, so ensure it’s a list before adding to it.
  • The new variable elpy-show-installation-instructions can be used to
    disable the installation screen.
  • Fix a very nasty bug causing spurious empty lines in a buffer or
    consume 100% CPU in certain situations when using the Jedi backend.
    Thanks to Matthias Dahl for finding this bug.
  • Various other bugfixes.

1.2.1

Bugfix release.

  • The refactoring was not ported to the new asynchronous API,
    resulting in an error when refactoring was attempted.
  • The project root now always returns a directory. Too many parts of
    elpy relies on this. If the project root turns out to be your home
    directory, elpy will warn you about it.
  • Elpy now works correctly with Emacs 24.2. There were some
    compatibility functions missing.
  • Blocking RPC calls now do not block for one second even if there is
    process output.

1.2

  • Elpy now uses asynchronous RPC. This means that Emacs should not
    freeze anymore while eldoc or auto-complete functions run.
  • elpy-shell-send-region-or-buffer will now remove common
    indentation of the region, making it possible to easily send parts
    of an if statement or function body without manually adjusting the
    indentation.
  • The Python package depends on flake8, and will also try to be
    smarter when detecting flake8 for on-the-fly checking.
  • elpy-check can be run with a prefix argument to check the whole
    project, instead of only the current file.
  • elpy-rgrep-symbol now ignores a few common directories
    (.tox, build, dist).
  • When using the rope backend, Elpy will not create the
    .ropeproject folders anymore. This should keep projects a lot
    cleaner.

1.1

  • Elpy now always uses the root directory of the package as the
    project root; this should avoid some confusion and improve
    auto-completion suggestions
  • elpy-shell-send-region-or-buffer now accepts a prefix argument
    to run code wrapped behind if __name__ == &#39;__main__&#39;, which is
    ignored by default
  • elpy-project-root is now a safe local variable and can be set
    from file variables
  • Elpy now supports project-specific RPC processes, see
    elpy-rpc-project-specific for how to use this
  • M-* now works to go back where you came from after a M-.
  • Elpy now ships with a few dedicated snippets for YASnippet
  • Support and require Jedi 0.6.0

1.0

  • Version 0.9 was a release candidate, so this release focused on bug
    fixes instead of new features.
  • elpy-enable now takes an optional argument that skips variable
    initialization for those users who prefer their own defaults for
    other modes.
  • python-check.sh has been removed from Elpy, as the flake8 tool
    from pypi does everything it does, only better.
  • Elpy will now start the helper subprocess in the root directory,
    avoiding accidental Python path clobbering.

0.9

  • Elpy now officially support Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.3 on Emacs 24.2
    and 24.3, with continuous integration tests thanks to
    Travis CI_.
  • Extended support for Pydoc. C-u C-c C-d will now prompt for an
    auto-completed symbol to run Pydoc on. The pydoc output will be
    formatted and placed in a help buffer for easy review.
  • Refactoring support is back. C-c C-r will pop up a refactoring
    wizard offering various refactoring options. Most of them depend on
    the presence of Rope, though, even if Jedi is used as a completion
    backend.
  • The Rope backend has been extended to provide completions for
    modules in an import clause.
  • New refactoring option: Add missing imports. This will search for
    undefined symbols in the current file and automatically add
    appropriate imports.
  • C-c C-c (elpy-rgrep-symbol) now prompts for a regexp when a prefix
    argument is given instead of using the symbol at point.

.. _Travis CI: https://travis-ci.org/

0.8

Python Backend Rewrite

  • Elpy does not use Pymacs, Ropemacs and Ropemode anymore, but instead
    provides its own Python interface with the elpy package on PyPI.
  • This not only should improve performance, but also enables using
    Jedi as an alternative backend for completion. Use M-x elpy-set-backend to change between rope and jedi. For now, this
    does disable all refactoring support, though.

Project Support

  • Elpy now has built-in project support. The interface is rather
    simple: You can set elpy-project-root to the correct value in
    .dir-locals.el, or just rely on the automatic detection. If you
    change your mind, you can always just elpy-set-project-root.
  • New dependency: Find File in Project (ffip), bound to C-c C-f by
    default. This will allow you to find files anywhere in your project
    using a search-as-you-type interface like ido.
  • New dependency: nose, bound to C-c C-t by default. This will run
    the nosetests binary in the root of your current library directory.
    You can restrict the tests being run to the current test or the
    current module by adding prefix arguments.
  • New function: Recursive grep for symbol, bound to C-c C-s by
    default. This will search for the symbol at point in the whole
    project.

New dependencies

  • idomenu, bound to C-c C-j by default. This replaces the standard
    imenu interface with an ido-based search-as-you-type interface for
    definitions in the current buffer.
  • virtualenv.el, replacing pyvirtualenv.el). Use M-x virtualenv-workon to enable a virtualenv.
  • iedit.el, bound to M-, by default. This highlights all occurrences
    of the symbol at point or the active region in the current buffer or
    narrowing. When you edit any of them, all others will be edited the
    same. This allows some basic and very quick refactoring.
  • New variable elpy-default-minor-modes which is run by elpy-mode
    on startup. If you don’t want to use some modes, remove them from
    here.

Key Bindings and Functions

  • The key bindings have been reworked and cleaned up. Sorry, this
    might cause confusion.
  • Yasnippet is now on its own keybinding, C-c C-i, instead of
    sharing the auto-complete interface. This was done because some
    snippets conflicted with legitimate, unsnippy completions.
  • New function: Occur Definitions, bound to C-c C-o by default. This
    will run the standard occur command to show definitions (classes and
    functions) in your current buffer, giving you a very quick outline
    and the ability to jump to different definitions quickly.
  • New function: Show Defun, bound to C-c C-q by default. This will
    show the current method and possibly class in the mode line, which
    is helpful in long functions.
  • New functions: Forward/backward definition, bound to M-n and M-p
    as well as &lt;M-down&gt; and &lt;M-up&gt; by default. These will jump to
    the next or previous definition (class or function), helping with
    quick navigation through a file.

Miscellaneous

  • The documentation function (C-c C-d) now uses pydoc when a prefix
    arg is given.
  • The web search function (C-c C-w) now searches for the current
    symbol by default. The tab-completing web documentation interface
    was removed and is scheduled to be replaced with a new pydoc
    interface in future versions.
  • The python-check.sh is now shipped with elpy. If you load elpy.el
    before you load python.el, it should be the default
    python-check-command.

Once you have closed this pull request, I'll create seperate pull requests for every update as soon as I find them.

That's it for now!
