For clarification: this change is related to "spines" not "splines". Spines are the feature that allows the axes ticks to be plotted somewhere in the middle of the plot, rather than always at the edges. See here:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/spine_placement_demo.html?highlight=spine%20codex Splines would refer to Bezier curves. See here: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/dolphin.html?highlight=dolphin%20codex Which feature are you interested in? That said, I'm not sure what the spine smart bounds work is about, but I suspect Andrew Straw does.
