Re: [matplotlib-devel] Release planning/milestones

I wasn't referring to just the default colors, but the default style in
general. Things like background, line thickness, padding, ticks, etc. I
thought that there was agreement that the default matplotlib style is not
optimal,  and that the point of the 2.0 release was to put all the
stylistic changes in one release so people don't have to keep changing
their unit tests.

 To overhauling all of the default colors, I think that is still in the
cards, but some one who is not me needs to drive that.

 The goal of pulling pyplot out of backend_bases is exactly that, to be
able to do everything using the OO interface in a convenient way.

 I thought there was going to be a complete overhaul of the default
theme?  Has that idea been abandoned?

   - making OO interface easier to use interactively (if interactive,
auto-redraw at sensible time)
 
   - pull the pyplot state machine out of backend_bases and expose the
figure_manager classes

 Do either of these mean that it will be possible to use the OO interface
without needing to go through pyplot?

 Eric made the case in an issue that we should not continue the 1.4.x series
 and start working 1.5.0, which fits well with aiming for a 6month scheduled
 release cycle (minor release in July, bug-fix release in February).

Do I understand correctly you plan to maintain 2 separate development
lines (like Python with 2.x and 3.x) as 1.5.x and 2.x ?

Ah, no I mean the exact opposite!

My proposal is to cut 2.0 off of what ever the current stable release is
(ex, 1.4.3) and then merge that into master.  The next minor release would
then be 2.1 and there would be no new 1.Y releases.
