===============================================================
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

2006-08-28 mahtext2.py: Initial support for complex fractions. Also,
           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 _ ^,
           \rm, \cal etc., \sin, \cos etc., unicode, recursive nestings,
           inline math mode. The only backend currently supported is Agg
           __init__.py: added new rc params for mathtext2
           added mathtext2_demo.py example - ES

2006-08-19 Added embedding_in_qt4.py example - DSD

2006-08-11 Added scale free Ellipse patch for Agg - CM

2006-08-10 Added converters to and from julian dates to matplotlib.dates
           (num2julian and julian2num) - JDH

2006-08-08 Fixed widget locking so multiple widgets could share the
           event handling - JDH

2006-08-07 Added scale free Ellipse patch to SVG and PS - CM

2006-08-05 Re-organized imports in numerix for numpy 1.0b2 -- TEO

2006-08-04 Added draw_markers to PDF backend. - JKS

2006-08-01 Fixed a bug in postscript's rendering of dashed lines - DSD

2006-08-01 figure.py: savefig() update docstring to add support for 'format'
           argument.
           backend_cairo.py: print_figure() add support 'format' argument. - SC

2006-07-31 Don't let postscript's xpdf distiller compress images - DSD

2006-07-31 Added shallowcopy() methods to all Transformations;
           removed copy_bbox_transform and copy_bbox_transform_shallow
           from transforms.py;
           added offset_copy() function to transforms.py to
           facilitate positioning artists with offsets.
           See examples/transoffset.py. - EF

2006-07-31 Don't let postscript's xpdf distiller compress images - DSD

2006-07-29 Fixed numerix polygon bug reported by Nick Fotopoulos.
           Added inverse_numerix_xy() transform method.
           Made autoscale_view() preserve axis direction
           (e.g., increasing down).- EF

2006-07-28 Added shallow bbox copy routine for transforms -- mainly
           useful for copying transforms to apply offset to. - JDH

           over the right-side y-axis - DSD

That error was relating to the source release.  Can you please post
your error for the binary?

Well the thread on the devel list that I referred to explicitly has the
win32 exe in its title ("Missing __init__.py in
matplotlib-0.87.5.win32-py2.4.exe ?") . The starting post there pretty
much says it all.

There's also a recent post on the numpy list that sounds like it's maybe
the same problem (quote):
"""
Is there a compatible matplotlib as well?  I was o.k. with mpl from
enthought until I switched numerix to numpy.  That made mpl unhappy.
I downloaded 0.87.5 but I broke something in the process because now
even switching back to Numeric doesn't make mpl happy.
"""

Thanks,
Sven

The source error must of propagated to those builds.  I will post new
ones shortly.

I keep running into the ImportError problem described on the devel list,
with the win32 2.4 binary (exe). Is that still just a case of waiting
for the mirrors to update, or is there a deeper problem? Are there
alternative download links? How to tell whether it's the "right" binary,
since version numbers are the same?

Thanks for your help,
Sven
