We've finally squashed all of the bugs slated for 1.2.1, so I have tagged a 1.2.1rc1 for testing. This is a bugfix release, and improves on the overall quality of 1.2.0. Thanks to everyone who worked hard to fix a multitude of papercuts. I'll provide a more detailed list of changes in the announcement of the final version. It can be downloaded from the SF files server here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.2.1rc1/matplotlib-1.2.1rc1.tar.gz/download Packagers: I don't expect a lot of glitches as nothing significant has changed about the build since 1.2.0, but now is the best time to try to build for your various packaging systems and report back any problems. If all goes well, I plan to make a final release in approximately two weeks on March 25. Cheers, Mike

It builds and tests OK on Windows. Should I upload the binaries to SF? They are built against numpy 1.7 and therefore require numpy >= 1.7.0. Christoph

I uploaded two Mac binaries to SourceForge: - A 10.3-compatible version built and tested on 10.4 - A 10.6-compatible version built and tested on 10.8 (I should also test it on 10.6 but don't have time right now). They are both built against numpy 1.6.2, which is not ideal, but is the best I can do at the moment. -- Russell

We can reevaluate what Numpy version to use for the final release, and let me know if we should push back the final release date to accomodate rejiggering your development environment etc. Cheers, Mike

Some considerations: I think numpy 1.7.x is binary compatible with 1.6.x. If so, surely it is OK to build matplotlib against numpy 1.6.x, even if a user wants to use numpy 1.7.x? I have not tested this (nor the reverse direction). numpy 1.7.0 has a serious memory leak (though I don't know how many users would ever see it). 1.7.1 is due out fairly soon. Personally I would rather skip 1.7.0 on my own machine. Yet it would be wise to let 1.7.1 be used for a week or two before relying on it and I'd hate to hold up release of matplotlib 1.2.1. -- Russell
I have tagged and uploaded the tarball for the 1.2.1 final release. Thanks to all for their hard work on this! I think the quality of this release is very high. http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib/matplotlib-1.2.1/matplotlib-1.2.1.tar.gz/download Once the binaries have been posted and the website download links have been updated, I'll make a formal announcement in the usual channels.

As usual Russell, let me know if you have build issues on the Mac. Happy Tuesday everybody.

Thanks again to the packagers for their quick work (as usual). I've gone ahead and made the official announcement. Let's continue to put simple bugfixes on the 1.2.x branch -- it's not clear there will be a 1.2.2, but it's much easier to make a bugfix release from a branch that has been maintained as such than to try to cherry-pick critical bugfixes later.
