First beta release of v2.0.0
This previews the new default style and many bug-fixes. A full list of
the style changes will be collected for the final release.
In addition to the style change this release includes:
- overhaul of font handling/text rendering to be faster and clearer
- many new rcParams
- Agg based OSX backend
- optionally deterministic SVGs
- complete re-write of image handling code
- simplified color conversion
- specify colors in the global property cycle via
'C0',
'C1'...'C9' - use the global property cycle more places (bar, stem, scatter)
There is a 'classic' style sheet which reproduces the 1.Y defaults:
import matplotlib.style as mstyle
mstyle.use('classic')
