After months of hard work by a veritable army of contributors, I'm pleased to announce the release of matplotlib 1.2.0.

This is the first time we've released without the assistance of John Hunter, who is sorely missed. I hope this is at least a small way to say thanks for all of his great work.

Release tarballs and binaries are available on github. (They are no longer being made available on SourceForge).

This is the first release to support Python 3.x (and as a result drops support for Pythons earlier than 2.6). There is new support for outputting PGF/TikZ files. New plot types include 3D trisurface plots, and streamplots. Tripcolor, boxplot, colorbars and contour plots have all grown new features. And under the hood, numerous improvements in stability, flexibility and robustness. For a complete list, see the "what's new" page:

For an even more detailed list of 698 issues (!) resolved since the last release, see the github statistics page:

Enjoy! As always, there are number of good ways to get help with matplotlib listed on the homepage at http://matplotlib.org/ and I thank everyone for their continued support of this project.

Mike
